Abstract: A carrying case for a lap-top model of a personal computer, a portable word processor or the like comprises a generally box-like casing accommodating various electric components therein and having a display panel assembly generally hingedly supported for movement in a direction towards and away from the casing, a foldable handle assembly supported for pivotal movement between concealed and projected positions, and at least one lock mechanism operable to lock the panel assembly in a closed position to the canister. The lock mechanism comprises an engagement member secured to the panel assembly and a releaseable one-piece member including a release button and a pawl member engageable with the engagement member. All necessary support elements to which the handle assembly is fitted are integrally formed with a bottom wall of the casing.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus such as a compact computer, a compact information processor, and a compact word processor comprises a pivotal cover carrying a display. The pivotal cover is closed on a keyboard of the electronic apparatus. The display is secured on a surface of the pivotal cover facing a surface of the keyboard during the closing. The pivotal cover is opened to uprise the display with an inclination angle to operate the display. The inclination angle of the pivotal cover can be controlled with a help of gears and dampers provided in two legs of the pivotal cover.

Abstract: A display such as a liquid crystal display unit, a light emitting diode assembly, or an electroluminescent element is arranged behind a front glass window of a mirror for indicating, for example, current time information or calculator output information. A switching means is provided for controlling the enabling and disabling of the display. The display section forms a part of the mirror when the display is not enabled. In a preferred form, a liquid crystal display unit of the reflection type is attached to the rear surface of the front glass window of the mirror. The reflection film of the liquid crystal display unit functions as a reflection film of the mirror when the display is disabled, thereby forming a continuous mirror assembly even at the display section. That is, there is no distinction between the display region and the normal mirror region.
