Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: a casing that is formed by press molding and that has positioning holes; a first assembly having positioning projections that are inserted into the positioning holes and at whose distal ends are provided buffer portions that project-out from the positioning holes, the first assembly being assembled to an inner side of the casing in a positioned state due to the positioning projections being inserted into the positioning holes; and a second assembly having engaging portions, and being assembled to the inner side of the casing in a state of being positioned at the first assembly, due to the engaging portions being engaged with engaged portions that are formed at the first assembly.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a casing that is formed by press molding and that has positioning holes;

a first assembly having positioning projections that are inserted into the positioning holes and at whose distal ends are provided buffer portions that project-out from the positioning holes, the first assembly being assembled to an inner side of the casing in a positioned state due to the positioning projections being inserted into the positioning holes; and

a second assembly having engaging portions, and being assembled to the inner side of the casing in a state of being positioned at the first assembly, due to the engaging portions being engaged with engaged portions that are formed at the first assembly.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein rising walls, that project-out at the inner side of the casing, are formed by burring processing at peripheries of the positioning holes.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the engaged portions and the engaging portions are provided at regions at both sides, in a laterally transverse direction, at the first assembly and the second assembly respectively, and

one of a pair of the engaged portions, or one of a pair of the engaging portions, is formed in a shape of a long hole that extends in the laterally transverse direction.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first assembly is a keyboard assembly having a keyboard unit.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the positioning projections are provided respectively at regions that are further toward laterally transverse direction both sides than a plurality of keys at the keyboard assembly.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the buffer portions are provided as bodies separate from the positioning projections, and are mounted to the distal ends of the positioning projections.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the electronic apparatus is a notebook personal computer that includes a display portion having a monitor, and a main body portion having a keyboard unit, and

the casing is an upper cover that is provided at the main body portion.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a plurality of openings, that are formed to sizes corresponding respectively to a plurality of keys provided at the keyboard unit and that expose the plurality of keys, are formed in the upper cover.
