  • Patent number: 8934241
    Abstract: In the electronic device, an inlet 10 is provided on a front face 1c of a first housing 1. Thus, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the inlet 10 being blocked by objects. That is, when a user uses a notebook computer in a normal position, his body opposes the front face 1c in many cases. Thus, when the inlet is provided on the front face 1c, the inlet is less likely to be blocked than when it is provided on any other face of the first housing 1. For this reason, the cooling efficiency within the first housing 1 does not drop.

  • Patent number: 8730667
    Abstract: A first coupling member 20 can be engaged with a first engagement hole 2e and held slidably by a first support member 12. A second coupling member 30 of the present embodiment can be engaged with a second engagement hole 2f and held slidably by a second support member 13. With this configuration, a relative position between a second housing 2 and a protection cover 10 changes at the time of turning the second housing 2 in a direction indicated by an arrow A or B, which can prevent the protection cover 10 from loosening significantly near the hinge portions 3.

  • Patent number: 8669942
    Abstract: An operation unit has an operation surface for accepting an input operation. In a plan view, the operation surface has a rectangular contour including a plurality of sides and a plurality of corner portions. When each point at which extensions of adjacent two of the plural sides cross each other is defined as a virtual intersection, and when an intersection at which respective diagonals linking the virtual intersections cross each other is defined as a virtual center, the contour of the corner portion crosses the diagonal that passes through the virtual intersection and the virtual center, at a point between the virtual intersection in the vicinity of the corner portion and the virtual center. The corner portions is a specific corner portion having an intersection with the diagonal at a position closer to the virtual center than the adjacent two corner portions.
