Abstract

An electronic device includes: a first housing that includes a first surface in which an operation portion, a hinge mechanism, and a removable cover are provided, and a second housing that is supported rotatally about an axis perpendicular to the first surface by the hinge mechanism and that is rotated between a position where the second housing faces the cover and a position where the second housing recedes from the cover.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first housing that includes a first surface in which an operation portion, a hinge mechanism, and a removable cover are provided, and

a second housing that is supported rotatally about an axis perpendicular to the first surface by the hinge mechanism and that is rotated between a position where the second housing faces the cover and a position where the second housing recedes from the cover.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the first surface includes first and second sides that intersect with each other,

the hinge mechanism is closer to the first side than the second side, and

the cover is provided along the first side between the second side and the hinge mechanism.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first housing is able to house a part at a position covered with the cover.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the part housed in the first housing is electrically connected to another part provided in the second housing through a cable.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the cover holds the operation portion attached to the first housing when the cover is attached to the first housing.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the first surface includes a third side that intersects with the first side and that faces the second side, and

another removable cover is provided along the first side between the hinge mechanism and the third side.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second housing is supported rotatably about another axis perpendicular to the axis by the hinge mechanism.
