Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a main body having an upper surface, and a display part which opens and closes with respect to the main body. The display part in a closed state is stacked on the upper surface of the main body and forms a generally flat parallelepiped shape together with the main body. The parallelepiped shape has a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces forming an outer periphery of the parallelepiped shape. The main body has a first sloping surface joining the bottom surface and at least one of the side surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a structure for fixing an element to a printed wiring board. The fixing structure includes a spacer, the printed wiring board, and a sealant. The spacer has a first end to which the element is to be fixed and a second end to be fixed to the printed wiring board. The printed wiring board has a hole having a shape determined in relation to the shape of the second end of the spacer. The sealant is filled in the hole of the printed wiring board to fix the second end of the spacer to the printed wiring board. The second end of the spacer has a projection having a length smaller than the thickness of the printed wiring board and located in the hole of the printed wiring board.

Abstract: A portable electronic device has a main body, a display part having a display panel, and a connection part having a first rotary part respectively connected to and rotatably interconnecting a second rotary part and supporting the main body and the display part relatively to each other. The first rotary part maintains a fixed angular relationship between the main body and the connection part and permits adjustment of the angle therebetween when a first rotary manipulation force is applied therebetween which exceeds a rotary manipulation force due to the weight of the main body itself. The second rotary part maintains a fixed angular relationship between the main body and the connection part and permits adjustment of the angle between the display part and the connector when a second rotary manipulation force is applied therebetween which exceeds a rotary manipulation force due to the weight of the main body itself.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which includes a first member (for example, a cover having a display unit thereon), a second member (for example, an apparatus body having a keyboard thereon), and a connection unit. The first member has a first face (for example, a face on which the display unit is provided) and a second face (for example, an outer face of the cover). The connection unit connects the first and second members to each other such that the first and second members are displaceable relative to each other between a first condition wherein the first face opposes the second member and a second condition wherein the second face opposes the second member. The first member has a hook member provided thereon such that the hook member can selectively project from one of the first and second faces. The second member has a hole for being engaged by the hook member.

Abstract: An information processing device suitable for portable use. The information processing device includes a first member (e.g., a cover having a display unit), a second member (e.g., a body having a keyboard unit), a connecting member for connecting the first and second members so that these members can be relatively displaced, and a switch mechanism provided in the second member. The second member has an engaging portion (e.g., a hole), and the first member includes a hook member to be engaged with the engaging portion. The switch mechanism functions to switch on and off a signal in synchronism with movement of the hook member. According to the structure having such switch mechanism, it can be possible to provide a device which can prevent an improper switching operation.

Abstract: An electronic equipment has a body with a cover which is easily openable and closable and which body can be maintained at a tilted state by the opened cover, enhancing use of the equipment. The equipment includes a body having a display panel and first and second cover members, mounted to the body and guided in a slidable and pivotable manner between first (closed) and second (opened) positions. The second cover member is pivotably coupled at one end to the first cover member, the first and second cover members cooperating with each other to cover the display panel in respective first and third positions thereof. In respective second and fourth positions thereof, the second cover member is rotated about an end of the body and extends below a rear surface of the body to maintain the body in a tilted state.

Abstract: A coil assembly for bobbin wound transformer includes a spacer between the end turns of a primary and secondary windings, which spacer is molded from synthetic resin material. The molded spacer includes an inner body portion which covers the surface of the primary winding, and a marginal portion which extends outwardly along the inner sidewall of the flange of the bobbin. The marginal portion sufficiently separates that portion of the outer secondary winding which is disposed along the flange of the bobbin.
