Information processing apparatus
View Patent ↗An information processing apparatus 100 includes: a first casing 101 having an operation section 110 provided on a top surface; a second casing 102 having a display provided thereon; an opening and closing mechanism 120 configured to connect a far side portion of the first casing 101 to the second casing 102 such that the information processing apparatus 100 is openable and closable; and a belt 150 provided on a back surface side of the first casing 101 . The belt 150 extends diagonally on a back surface 101 a of the first casing 101 from a mounting portion provided on one side surface 101 b side of the first casing 101 , so as to approach the far side portion of the first casing 101 as a distance from the one side surface 101 b side is increased, and reaches a mounting portion provided on a far side of the first casing 101.
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a first casing having top and bottom surfaces and an operation section provided on the top surface;
a second casing having a display provided thereon, the second casing being mounted to the first casing with an opening and closing mechanism such that the information processing apparatus is openable and closable; and
a belt provided on the bottom surface of the first casing, wherein
the first casing has first and second sides and first and second ends that extend between the top and bottom surfaces, the first and second sides extending between the first and second ends, and the opening and closing mechanism being provided at the first end,
the belt comprises:
a first section that is secured to the bottom surface at a first location at the first side of the first casing and extends diagonally along the bottom surface of the first casing from the first location so as to approach the first end of the first casing as a distance from the first location increases; and
a second section that is secured to the bottom surface at a second location at the first end of the first casing and extends toward the second end of the casing,
the first section of the belt further being secured to the bottom surface of the first casing at a third location at the second side of the first casing,
the second section intersecting the first section at a position on the side of the first end relative to a line connecting the first location and the third location,
the second section being configured to engage an area between a thumb and index finger of a user, and
an edge of the first section of the belt on the side of the second end of the first casing and extending from the first location to the third location being recessed toward the first end of the first casing relative to the line connecting the first location and the third location,
the belt has a back side that opposes the back surface of the first casing, and
the belt has a folded-back portion that is bent toward the back side of the belt and folded back, and the folded-back portion is provided near at least one of the first and second locations.
2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the folded-back portion of the belt is provided only near the second location.
3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the folded-back portion of the belt is provided near the second location, and an outer end of the folded-back portion is positioned so as not to extend beyond the first end of the first casing.
