  • Publication number: 20040240172
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided with a housing having a receptacle, a disk drive removably stored in the receptacle, and a grounding metal member attached to the disk drive. The disk drive has a depressed section, and this depressed section is exposed to the receptacle when the disk drive is stored in the receptacle. The grounding metal member is located in the depressed section and includes a first conduction portion. The receptacle of the housing has a second conduction portion. When the disk drive is stored in the receptacle, the second conduction portion comes into contact with the first conduction portion of the grounding metal member, thereby providing ground-connection between the disk drive and the housing.

  • Publication number: 20040184228
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprises a first housing, a second housing, hinges which connect these two housings, and a latch mechanism which fixes the first housing and second housing in the overlaid state. The latch mechanism comprises a hook member, a lock member, a button, and a push member. When the button is pressed, the lock member rotates around a rotation shaft, and disengages one end from the hook member. As a result, the push member pushes the hook member inserted into a main unit toward the outside of the main unit.

  • Publication number: 20030133261
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a body having a raised portion. Switching means are mounted inside of the raised portion. The switching means perform a function and are provided within the raised portion such that the function is performed by moving the display between opened and closed positions. The switching means may include a switch for performing a function and a detecting member for operating the switch. The detecting member is movable between an extended position projecting from the raised portion and a retracted position within the raised portion. The electronic device further comprises a display rotatable between an opened position and a closed position. The switching means are arranged within the raised portion such that when the display is rotated between the opened position and the closed position, the detecting member moves between the extended and retracted positions, thus deactivating and activating the switch.
