  • Publication number: 20170051538
    Abstract: A sliding member locks to hold a tablet type terminal so as not to be removed when the tablet type terminal is connected and releases the lock such that the tablet type terminal is removed in response to first operation. A locking part restricts release of the lock of the sliding member in a state in which the tablet type terminal is connected in response to second operation. A screw protecting member prevents contact with a fixing screw which fixes the locking part in a locked state by the sliding member.

  • Patent number: 8199484
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a first housing that includes an inlet and an outlet on one end; a second housing; and a linkage section that links the second housing to the first housing such that the second housing can be opened and closed. The device is configured such that the second housing divides at least a part of a space between the inlet and the outlet while the second housing is in the open position relative to the first housing. While the second housing is opened relative to the first housing, the second housing divides the space between the inlet and the outlet, thereby preventing the exhausted warm air from being drawn into the electronic device.
