  • Patent number: 10061355
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus includes a mount, a locking member, an operating member, and a second moving mechanism. The mount can mount a first housing in a predetermined positional relationship with the mounting apparatus. The locking member is provided to be movable between an initial position and a position corresponding to a revolving position of a second housing. The locking member can lock the electronic device with the second housing. The operating member moves in a predetermined direction through a user operation.
