  • Publication number: 20130323471
    Abstract: In an electronic apparatus including a grip portion according to the invention, a surface of the grip portion is covered by a surface layer member made of an elastic material, and a plurality of protrusions protecting toward the surface of the grip portion are formed on an inner surface of the surface layer member. The surface layer member includes a skin portion having an exposed surface, and the plurality of protrusions project from an inner surface of the skin portion. Tip ends of the protrusions abut against the surface of the grip portion, and a plurality of spaces are formed between the plurality of protrusions.

  • Patent number: 8565594
    Abstract: In an opening/closing cover mechanism, an opening/closing cover is provided with a slidable plate in such a manner as to freely make a reciprocating motion in one direction. The slide plate slides in the one direction in the state in which the opening/closing cover is closed, thereby locking the opening/closing cover when the slide plate is at locked position. A cam mechanism is disposed in an opposing portion defined between an opening edge of an accommodation chamber and an outer peripheral edge portion of the opening/closing cover, both of the edges being faced with each other in the state in which the opening/closing cover is closed, to function when the slide plate slides in the one direction in the state in which the opening/closing cover is closed. The cam mechanism allows a pressing force to act on the opening/closing cover along an axial direction of a hinge axis.

  • Publication number: 20120014047
    Abstract: In an electronic device in which a sliding member and a guide trench that regulates a moving path of the sliding member are formed in the device body, a trench or a hole is formed in the first side surface of the guide trench, a movable body that can move through the trench or the hole and a biasing member that biases the movable body from the first side surface to the second side surface are arranged in the device body, the movable body can be moved between an advanced position where the movable body advances from the first side surface to the inside of the guide trench and a retracted position where the movable body is retired from the first side surface to the outside of the guide trench. A bushing member that pushes the switch in a process in which the movable body moves from the advanced position to the retracted position to change the switch over is formed on the movable body.
