Electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a first housing comprising a first wall and a second wall located on an opposite side of the first wall; a second housing; a hinge configured to connect the first housing to the second housing so that the first housing and the second housing can be pivoted relative to each other; a component housed in a component housing portion formed at the first wall; and a fixing member comprising a housing fixing portion fixed to the first housing, a hinge fixing portion to which the hinge is fixed, and a supporting portion configured to support the component at a location close to the first wall, the supporting portion being located between the first wall and the second wall.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a first housing comprising a first wall and a second wall located on an opposite side of the first wall;
a second housing;
a hinge configured to connect the first housing to the second housing so that the first housing and the second housing can be pivoted relative to each other;
a component housed in a component housing portion formed at the first wall; and
a fixing member comprising a housing fixing portion fixed to the first housing, a hinge fixing portion to which the hinge is fixed, and a supporting portion configured to support the component at a location close to the first wall, the supporting portion being located between the first wall and the second wall, wherein
the first housing contains a second component, and has an opening through which the hinge is passed, and
the fixing member comprises a movement restraining portion configured to restrain the second component from moving toward the opening, the movement restraining portion being located on a side of the opening of the second component.
2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
an engaging portion with which the fixing member and the first housing are engaged is provided in at least one of the fixing member and the first housing, and
the supporting portion is located between the housing fixing portion and the engaging portion.
3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the fixing member comprises a plurality of the housing fixing portions, and
the hinge fixing portion is located between the housing fixing portions.
4. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 , wherein
the fixing member comprises a common fixing portion configured to fix the hinge and the fixing member to the first housing, and
the hinge fixing portion is located between the common fixing portion and the housing fixing portion different from the common fixing portion.
5. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 , wherein
the hinge fixing portion comprises:
a first hinge fixing portion is placed in a line with the housing fixing portions, and
a second hinge fixing portion deviating from the line in which the first hinge fixing portion is placed with the housing fixing portions.
6. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising a circuit board fixed to the first wall,
wherein a part of the fixing member between the housing fixing portions is arranged over the circuit board.
7. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first housing comprises:
a first portion comprising the first wall, a second circuit board being attached to the first portion; and
a second portion comprising the second wall, the second portion being attached to the first portion to which the second circuit board, the fixing member, and the hinge are attached.
