  • Electronic apparatus and electronic component housing case
    Patent number: 8941019
    Abstract: A slit opening 8 is formed on a lower principal surface 6a of a hard disk case 6, in the vicinity of the inner side of an angle part formed by a lower left lateral wall 6e and an opposing lower lateral wall 6c. A hard disk drive 7 is placed in the hard disk case 6. When the hard disk drive 7 is subjected to vibration caused by disturbance on the hard disk case 6, elastic deformation of an angle part 8a of the slit opening 8 occurs using an axis 8b as a center to reduce vibration of the hard disk drive 7. Thus, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the hard disk case 6. With such a configuration, a hard disk case that is for housing an electronic component and that can have a small thickness can be provided.
