Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided with a base unit and a display unit. The base unit has an opening formed on the upper surface. The display unit incorporates a display device and supported by the base unit. The display unit is rotatable between a first position where it is tilted down in such a manner as to cover the upper surface of the base unit and a second position where it is raised in such a manner as to expose the upper surface. The display unit includes a projection portion which is inserted into the opening when the display unit is rotated to the first position. A switch for turning the display device on or off is arranged inside the base unit. The switch includes an operation element opposed to the opening of the base unit. When the display unit is rotated to the first position, the operation element is pushed by the projection portion, thereby turning off the display device.

Abstract: In a spinning reel for fishing structured such that, on the leading end of a support arm disposed on a rotor rotatable in linking with the operation of a handle, there is supported a support member including a line roller. The support member can be reversed between a fishing line take-up position and a fishing line play-out position. A fishing line is taken up and guided onto a spool through the line roller. The line roller is formed of hard and transparent material.
