Information processing device
An information processing device is disclosed. The information processing device includes a first chassis and a second chassis that are connected rotatably via a hinge, and includes a connector to connect the first chassis to the hinge. The first chassis includes a laminated part having a lamination of a set of fiber-reinforced plastic layers in each of which resin is reinforced by fibers arranged in a predetermined direction. The connector is attached and fixed to a recess in the laminated part, with the recess having a shape corresponding an outer shape of the connector. Directly attached to the connector, one of the fiber-reinforced plastic layers making up a bottom of the recess and is a layer in which fibers are arranged in a direction orthogonal to a rotary axis of the hinge.
1. An information processing device comprising:
a first chassis includes a face cover having a plurality of fiber-reinforced plastic layers, wherein said face cover includes a recess;
a connector located within said recess of said face cover, wherein said connector includes at least one screw hole;
a second chassis rotatably connected to said first chassis; and
a hinge for connecting said second chassis to said connector located within said recess of said face cover of said first chassis.
2. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein said connector further includes at least one groove disposed from an attachment face of said connector to be attached to said recess to a surface opposed to said attachment face.
3. The information processing device of claim 2 , wherein said at least one groove includes a cutout to a face connecting said attachment face and said surface opposed to said attachment face.
4. The information processing device of claims 2 , wherein said at least one groove is filled with adhesive for attaching said connector to said recess.
5. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein said at least one screw hole penetrates through an attachment face of said connector to a surface opposed to said attachment face of said connector.
6. The information processing device of claims 1 , wherein an attachment face of said connector to be attached to said recess is substantially rectangle in outer shape.
7. The information processing device of claims 1 , wherein said connector is rigid.
8. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein said connector is made of metal.
9. The information processing device of claim 8 , wherein a surface of said metal is anodized.
10. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of fiber-reinforced plastic layers includes carbon fiber-reinforced plastic layers and glass fiber-reinforced plastic layers.
11. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein said first chassis contains a display.
12. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein said second chassis contains a keyboard.
