Electronic device
An electronic device includes a first housing including a display, a second housing including an operation unit, and a rotation unit that rotates the first housing relative to the second housing. The second housing includes a rotation regulation portion that protrudes from a bottom face of the second housing and regulates rotation of the first housing. The rotation regulation portion includes an elastic member configured to rotate back and forth between a first mode and a second mode with different states of protrusion from a bottom face of the second housing, and contactable with the first housing. The rotation regulation portion, in the first mode, regulate rotation of the first housing in a first rotation range, and in the second mode, regulate rotation of the first housing in a second rotation range where the first housing is rotated to a greater extent than in the first rotation range.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a first housing including a display;
a second housing including an operation unit; and
a rotation unit configured to connect the first housing to the second housing, and rotate the first housing relative to the second housing,
wherein
the second housing includes at least one rotation regulation portion that protrudes from a bottom face of the second housing and is configured to regulate rotation of the first housing with respect to the second housing,
the at least one rotation regulation portion includes an elastic member configured to rotate back and forth between a first mode and a second mode with different states of protrusion from the bottom face of the second housing, the elastic member being contactable with the first housing, and
the at least one rotation regulation portion is configured to, in the first mode, regulate rotation of the first housing with respect to the second housing in a first rotation range, and in the second mode, regulate rotation of the first housing with respect to the second housing in a second rotation range where the first housing is rotated with respect to the second housing to a greater extent than in the first rotation range.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one rotation regulation portion is partially housed in a housing recess of the bottom face of the second housing, and includes a first protrusion protruding from the housing recess of the second housing in the first mode, and
the at least one rotation regulation portion is configured to, in the first mode, regulate rotation of the first housing by bringing the first protrusion protruding from the housing recess of the second housing into contact with the first housing.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one rotation regulation portion is partially housed in the housing recess of the bottom face of the second housing, and includes a second protrusion protruding from the housing recess of the second housing in the second mode, and a recess formed on an outer surface of the second protrusion, and
the at least one rotation regulation portion is configured to, in the second mode, regulate rotation of the first housing by bringing the recess of the second protrusion protruding from the housing recess of the second housing into contact with the first housing.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one rotation regulation portion is partially housed in the housing recess of the bottom face of the second housing, and includes a first protrusion protruding from the housing recess of the second housing in the first mode, a second protrusion protruding from the housing recess of the second housing in the second mode, and a recess formed on an outer surface of the second protrusion,
the at least one rotation regulation portion
is configured to, in the first mode, regulate rotation of the first housing by bringing the first protrusion protruding from the housing recess of the second housing into contact with the first housing
is configured to in the second mode, regulate rotation of the first housing by bringing the recess of the second protrusion protruding from the housing recess of the second housing into contact with the first housing, and
includes a protrusion dimension of the second protrusion larger than a protrusion dimension of the first protrusion from the housing recess of the second housing.
5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one rotation regulation portion is partially stored in a housing recess of the bottom face of the second housing, and a buffer gap is provided between an inner surface of the housing recess and an opposing surface of the at least one rotation regulation portion.
6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one rotation regulation portion is two rotation regulation portions, and is disposed near both ends of the second housing in a width direction along a rotation axis direction of the rotation unit for rotating the first housing or the second housing.
7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one rotation regulation portion is a foot member for slippage prevention on a bottom face of the second housing.
