Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, a third housing and a first movable member. The first housing includes a first opening through which the electronic device is capable of being coupled to an external coupling apparatus. The second housing is rotatably connected to the first housing. The third housing is removably attached to the second housing. The first movable member is across the first housing and the second housing, movable between a first position at which the third housing is locked to the second housing and a second position at which the third housing is capable of being unlocked from the second housing, and is configured to be restricted from moving from the first position to the second position when the electronic device is coupled through the first opening.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first housing comprising a first opening through which the electronic device is capable of being coupled to an external coupling apparatus;

a second housing rotatably connected to the first housing;

a third housing removably attached to the second housing;

a first movable member across the first housing and the second housing, movable between a first position at which the third housing is locked to the second housing and a second position at which the third housing is capable of being unlocked from the second housing, and configured to be restricted from moving from the first position to the second position when the electronic device is coupled through the first opening; and

a second movable member provided in the first housing and movably supported by the first housing between a third position at which the first movable member is locked at the first position and a fourth position at which the first movable member is unlocked, the second movable member configured to be retained at the third position when a hook is passing through the first opening.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a third movable member comprising a hook onto which the third housing is hooked, the third member configured to be supported by the second housing to be movable in association with the first movable member.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first movable member is movable along rotational center of the first housing and the second housing.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a hinge between the first housing and the second housing, and comprising a cylindrical shaft, wherein

the first movable member is configured to be movable through the shaft.

5. An apparatus comprising:

a first component comprising a first movable portion;

a second component rotatably connected to the first component about rotational center, the second component comprising a second movable portion; and

a movable member movable along the rotational center and across the first component and the second component, the movable member configured to impart motion of the first movable portion to the second movable portion.
