Electronic device
View Patent ↗A tablet computer (an example of an electronic device) includes a housing that contains an electric component, the housing including a fixed cover and a movable cover that constitute adjacent regions of a back surface of the housing, a hinge shaft that is disposed between a front edge of the fixed cover and a back edge of the movable cover that are adjacent to each other and supports the movable cover, and a first attachment plate that supports the movable cover rotatably about the back edge. The first attachment plate is movably attached to an inner chassis to which the fixed cover is fixed such that the hinge shaft is movable away from the front edge of the fixed cover.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing that contains an electronic component, the housing including a fixed cover and a movable cover that constitute adjacent regions of one surface of the housing;
a hinge shaft that is disposed between a first edge of the fixed cover and a second edge of the movable cover that are adjacent to each other, and supports the movable cover;
a support plate that is connected to the movable cover through the hinge shaft, and supports the movable cover rotatably about the second edge, and
an inner chassis to which the fixed cover is fixed, the inner chassis having an attachment surface that is a plane surface,
wherein the support plate is movably attached to the attachment surface to enable the hinge shaft to move away from the first edge of the fixed cover,
the attachment surface faces the fixed cover, and
the attachment surface is inclined towards the hinge shaft, approaching the fixed cover.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the attachment surface is configured to enable the hinge shaft to be moved toward an outside of the housing in a case where the hinge shaft is moved away from the first edge of the fixed cover.
3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein
the support plate is attached to the attachment surface with use of a screw,
the support plate has an insertion hole into which the screw is inserted, and
the insertion hole extends in a direction that crosses the hinge shaft.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the housing detachably contains a battery, and
the movable cover is a cover that is opened and closed in a case where the battery is attached or detached.
