[0008] (Background to this disclosure) In the antenna device of Patent Document 1, a circumferential engagement portion capable of fixing the axial position up to a certain degree of force is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cover and the outer peripheral surface of the core member. If the force capable of fixing by the engagement portion is increased, the cover becomes difficult to remove. On the other hand, if the force capable of fixing by the engagement portion is decreased, the cover may fall off unintentionally. In this case, it is conceivable to fix the cover with a screw to prevent the cover from falling off unintentionally, but this takes time and effort to remove the cover, and the screw may be exposed to the outside, marring the appearance.

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, similar components are given similar reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate. In addition, the embodiment does not limit the present disclosure, but is merely an example, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0021] An example of the electronic device 1 of this embodiment is a notebook personal computer (in other words, a laptop PC) as shown in Fig. 1. The electronic device 1 includes a first unit 10 and a second unit 20. The first unit 10 is rotatably attached to the second unit 20 via a pair of hinges 30.

[0022] The first unit 10 has a display section 11. The display section 11 is configured, for example, with a substantially rectangular liquid crystal display panel. The first unit 10 has built-in central processing unit (CPU), volatile storage device (RAM), non-volatile storage device (ROM, SSD, etc.), battery, etc. The non-volatile storage device stores an operating system (OS), various application programs, various data, etc. The central processing unit realizes various functions by reading the OS, application programs, and various data and executing arithmetic processing.

[0023] The second unit 20 has an input section 21 including a keyboard and a touch pad, and is configured to allow a user to perform input processing via this input section 21. In Fig. 1, part of the configuration of the second unit 20 is omitted.

[0024] The pair of hinges 30 rotate the first unit 10 relative to the second unit 20 around a rotation axis extending along the width direction (e.g., X direction) of the electronic device 1, and can hold the first unit 10 at any angle relative to the second unit 20. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the pair of hinges 30 can hold the electronic device 1 in an open state in which the first unit 10 forms any angle (e.g., approximately 120 degrees shown in FIG. 1) relative to the second unit 20. The pair of hinges 30 can also hold the electronic device 1 in a closed state in which the first unit 10 forms an angle of approximately zero degrees relative to the second unit 20. The closed state is a state in which the first unit 10 and the second unit 20 are closely opposed to each other and are approximately parallel to each other.

[0025] Next, a description will be given of the configuration of the second unit 20. In Fig. 2, the first unit 10 is omitted.

[0026] 2, the second unit 20 includes a housing 40, a covering member 50 attached to the housing 40, and an attachment portion 60 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) for removably attaching the covering member 50 to the housing 40. In this embodiment, the covering member 50 protects an antenna 71 (see FIG. 5).

[0027] As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the housing 40 is a plate-like member that constitutes the framework of the second unit 20 having a substantially rectangular shape, and has a first surface 41 and a second surface 42 that intersect in the thickness direction (for example, Z direction) of the housing 40, and a third surface 43 that intersects with the first surface 41 and the second surface 42, as shown in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the input unit 21 is disposed on the first surface 41. The second surface 42 constitutes a surface on the opposite side to the first surface 41 in the thickness direction of the housing 40, and extends along the first surface 41. The third surface 43 constitutes one side surface of the housing 40 in the short side direction (for example, Y direction).

[0028] In this embodiment, the housing 40 has hinge attachment parts 44 to which the hinge 30 is attached. The hinge attachment parts 44 are disposed near both ends of the third surface 43 in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the X direction) of the housing 40. Between the hinge attachment parts 44 on the third surface 43, a covering member 50 is attached.

[0029] Hereinafter, the short side direction of the housing 40 (in other words, the direction intersecting the third surface 43) is referred to as the first direction Y, the thickness direction of the housing 40 (in other words, the direction intersecting the first surface 41 and the second surface 42) is referred to as the second direction Z, and the long side direction of the housing 40 (in other words, the direction intersecting the first direction Y and the second direction Z) is referred to as the third direction X.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the housing 40 has a support portion 45 disposed between the first surface 41 and the second surface 42 in the second direction Z of the third surface 43. The support portion 45 faces a first end 511 of a first member 51 and a second end 521 of a second member 52 of a covering member 50 described later in the second direction Z. As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the support portion 45 has a first opposing surface 453, a second opposing surface 454, and a third opposing surface 455. The first opposing surface 453 faces the first member 51 in the second direction Z. The second opposing surface 454 faces the second member 52 in the second direction Z. The third opposing surface 455 faces the second member 52 in the second direction Z and is disposed farther away from the second member 52 than the second opposing surface 454.

[0031] 3, the support portion 45 has a first accommodating portion 456 that accommodates a first protrusion 54 of the covering member 50 described below, and a first movement restricting portion 457 that restricts movement of the first protrusion 54 accommodated in the first accommodating portion 456 in the first direction Y. The first accommodating portion 456 is connected to a first opening 48 provided in the first opposing surface 453, and accommodates the first protrusion 54 through the first opening 48.

[0032] In this embodiment, the support portion 45 has a support 451 and four protruding portions 452 arranged at intervals in the third direction X. The support 451 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped extending along the third direction X, and protrudes from the third surface 43 along the first direction Y in a direction approaching a third member 53 of the covering member 50 described later. Each protruding portion 452 is provided at an end of the support 451 on the first surface 41 side in the second direction Z, and protrudes from the support 451 in a direction approaching the third member 53 along the first direction Y. A through hole that penetrates each protruding portion 452 in the second direction Z and is connected to the first opening 48 constitutes a first housing portion 456, and the first protrusion portion 54 is housed inside the through hole. A portion of each protruding portion 452 that is farther from the support 451 than the first housing portion 456 in the first direction Y constitutes a first movement restricting portion 457.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 7, the support 451 has extensions 458 provided on both ends in the third direction X and extending along the first direction Y to the vicinity of the third member 53. Each extension 458 has an opposing surface 459 that faces the second member 52 of the covering member 50 and is substantially the same as the third opposing surface 455. An elastic member 80 is disposed on the opposing surface 459 of each extension 458. In other words, the elastic members 80 are disposed between the second member 52 and the support portion 45 and on both sides in the third direction X. The covering member 50 is omitted in Fig. 7.

[0034] Each elastic member 80 is disposed between the second member 52 and the support portion 45 in a state compressed by less than 50%, for example, and more preferably in a state compressed by 40 to 45%. Each elastic member 80 is disposed midway between the third surface 43 of the housing 40 and the third member 53 of the covering member 50 in the first direction Y, and biases a second protrusion 56 (see FIG. 4) of the covering member 50, which will be described later, in the second direction Z in a direction away from the first member 51.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 4, the housing 40 has a second housing portion 46 that houses the second protrusion portion 56 of the covering member 50, and a second movement restricting portion 47 that restricts the movement of the second protrusion portion 56 housed in the second housing portion 46 in the first direction Y. The second housing portion 46 is disposed at an end of the housing 40 on the third surface 43 side in the first direction Y and an end of the housing 40 on the second surface 42 side in the second direction Z. In this embodiment, the second housing portion 46 is configured as a recess that is recessed toward the second surface 42 side in the second direction Z from the inner surface of the housing 40 opposite to the second surface 42 in the second direction Z more than the second opening 49, and the second protrusion portion 56 is housed inside the recess. A portion of the housing 40 closer to the third surface 43 than the second housing portion 46 in the first direction Y constitutes the second movement restricting portion 47.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 5, the third surface 43 of the housing 40 is provided with a second opening 49 and a third opening 431. The second opening 49 is disposed between the third opposing surface 455 and the second surface 42 in the second direction Z of the third surface 43. The second opening 49 is connected to the second housing portion 46, and is configured to be able to insert a protruding portion 55 and a second protruding portion 56 of the covering member 50 described later. The third opening 431 is disposed between the first surface 41 and the support portion 45 in the second direction Z of the third surface 43, and is configured to be able to insert a protruding portion 57 (see FIG. 6) of the covering member 50 described later. An accommodation space (not shown) capable of accommodating the protruding portion 57 is provided inside the housing 40, and the third opening 431 is connected to this accommodation space.

[0037] In this embodiment, three third openings 431 are provided at intervals in the third direction X on the third surface 43 of the housing 40, and five second openings 49 are provided at intervals in the third direction X. Each third opening 431 has a substantially rectangular shape with the third direction X as its longitudinal direction, and each second opening 49 has a substantially rectangular shape with the third direction X as its longitudinal direction. An antenna 71 is fixed to the end of the support 45 on the third opening 431 side in the second direction Z. An exhaust port 73 of an exhaust duct 72 opens to the end of the support 45 on the second opening 49 side in the second direction Z.

[0038] 3 and 4, the covering member 50 has a substantially C-shape when viewed along the third direction X, and includes a first member 51, a second member 52, and a third member 53. The first member 51 extends along the first surface 41. The second member 52 extends along the second surface 42 and faces the first member 51 in the second direction Z. The third member 53 faces the third surface 43 and is connected to an end of the first member 51 remote from the housing 40 in the first direction Y and an end of the second member 52 remote from the housing 40 in the first direction Y.

[0039] 3, the covering member 50 has a first protrusion 54 provided on a first end 511 of the first member 51 close to the third surface 43 in the first direction Y. The first protrusion 54 extends from the first end 511 of the first member 51 toward the second member 52 along the second direction Z, and is accommodated in a first accommodation portion 456 of the support portion 45.

[0040] 4, the covering member 50 has a protruding portion 55 provided at a second end 521 of the second member 52 close to the third surface 43 in the first direction Y, and a second protruding portion 56 provided at the protruding portion 55. The protruding portion 55 extends from the second end 521 of the second member 52 toward the third surface 43 along the first direction Y. The second protruding portion 56 extends from the protruding portion 55 in a direction away from the first member 51 along the second direction Z, and is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 46.

[0041] In this embodiment, the covering member 50 has four first protrusions 54, five second protrusions 56, and three protrusions 57, as shown in Fig. 6. The first protrusions 54 are arranged at intervals from each other in the third direction X. The second protrusions 56 are arranged at intervals from each other in the third direction X. The protrusions 57 are arranged between the first protrusions 54 in the third direction X. The protrusions 57 extend from the first end 511 of the first member 51 toward the third surface 43 along the first direction Y, and are accommodated in the accommodation space inside the housing 40 via the third opening 431.

[0042] 2 and 3, the mounting portion 60 has a one-side mounting portion 61 arranged at an end on the first surface 41 side in the second direction Z, and an other-side mounting portion 62 arranged at an end on the second surface 42 side in the second direction Z. The one-side mounting portion 61 is composed of the first storage portion 456 of the housing 40 and the first protrusion portion 54 of the covering member 50. The other-side mounting portion 62 is composed of the second storage portion 46 of the housing 40, and the protrusion portion 55 and second protrusion portion 56 of the covering member 50.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 60 has four one-side mounting portions 61 and five other-side mounting portions 62. As shown in FIG. 6, two one-side mounting portions 61 are disposed in the middle of the first member 51 in the third direction X, and one one-side mounting portion 61 is disposed at each of both ends of the first member 51 in the third direction X. One other-side mounting portion 62 (an example of a first other-side mounting portion) is disposed approximately in the center of the second member 52 in the third direction X, and one other-side mounting portion 62 (an example of a second other-side mounting portion and a third other-side mounting portion) is disposed at each of both ends of the second member 52 in the third direction X. One other-side mounting portion 62 is disposed between the other-side mounting portion 62 approximately in the center in the third direction X and the other-side mounting portions 62 at both ends. When viewed in the first direction Y, each of the other-side mounting portions 62 is disposed away in the third direction X from an imaginary line passing through each of the one-side mounting portions 61 and extending in the second direction Z (in FIG. 6, an imaginary line L passing through the first protrusion 54 and extending in the second direction Z). The first accommodating portion 456 of the one-side mounting portion 61 and the second accommodating portion 46 of the other-side mounting portion 62 are not shown in FIG. 6.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 5, the third opposing surface 455 disposed approximately at the center in the third direction X has a length in the third direction X that is twice or more the length of the second protrusion 56 accommodated in the second housing 46 through the second opening 49 disposed in the third opposing surface 455. This allows the second member 52 to be elastically deformed in a direction approaching the first member 51, and the second protrusion 56 to be removed from the second housing 46, in a state in which the covering member 50 is attached to the housing 40. As shown in FIG. 6, the third opposing surface 455 disposed between the third opposing surface 455 disposed approximately at the center in the third direction X and the third opposing surfaces 455 at both ends also has a length in the third direction X that is twice or more the length of the second protrusion 56 accommodated in the second housing 46 through the second opening 49 disposed in the third opposing surface 455.

[0045] When removing the covering member 50 attached to the housing 40, first, the second end 521 of the second member 52 is pressed in a direction approaching the first member 51 along the second direction Z to elastically deform the second end 521. As a result, the second protrusion 56 moves in the second housing portion 46 in a direction approaching the first member 51 along the second direction Z, and the position restriction of the second protrusion 56 by the second movement restricting portion 47 is released. Thereafter, in a state in which the second end 521 of the second member 52 is elastically deformed, the covering member 50 is rotated around the rotation axis RA (shown in FIG. 2) around the contact portion between the edge of the third opening 431 of the housing 40 and the protrusion 57 of the first member 51. As a result, the second protrusion 56 is taken out of the second housing portion 46, and the covering member 50 is removed from the housing 40.

[0046] When attaching the covering member 50 to the housing 40, the covering member 50 is first attached to the housing 40, and the first protrusion 54 of the first member 51 is first housed in the first housing portion 456, while the protrusion 57 is housed in the third opening 431, in the opposite manner to the case of removing the covering member 50 attached to the housing 40. Then, the covering member 50 is rotated around the rotation axis RA to bring the second end 521 of the second member 52 closer to the third surface 43. Thereafter, the covering member 50 is further rotated in a state in which the second end 521 of the second member 52 is pressed in a direction approaching the first member 51 along the second direction Z and elastically deformed, and the second protrusion 56 is inserted into the second opening 49. As a result, the second protrusion 56 is housed in the second housing portion 46, and the covering member 50 is attached to the housing 40.

[0047] The electronic device 1 can provide the following effects.

[0048] According to the electronic device 1, the attachment portion 60 has a one-side attachment portion 61 arranged at an end on the first surface 41 side in the second direction, and at least one other-side attachment portion 62 arranged at an end on the second surface 42 side in the second direction. The one-side attachment portion 61 has a first protrusion portion 54, a first housing portion 456, and a first movement restricting portion 457. The first protrusion portion 54 is provided at a first end 511 of the first member 51, and extends from the first member 51 toward the second member 52 along the second direction. The first housing portion 456 is connected to a first opening portion 48 provided in the first opposing surface 453, and houses the first protrusion portion 54 through the first opening portion 48. The first movement restricting portion 457 restricts the movement of the first protrusion portion 54 housed in the first housing portion 456 in the first direction. The other side mounting portion 62 has a protruding portion 55, a second protruding portion 56, a second housing portion 46, and a second movement restricting portion 47. The protruding portion 55 is provided at the second end 521 of the second member 52, and extends from the second member 52 toward the third surface 43 along the first direction. The second protruding portion 56 extends from the protruding portion 55 along the second direction in a direction away from the first member 51. The second housing portion 46 is disposed inside the housing 40, and is connected to a second opening 49 provided between the support portion 45 and the second surface 42 in the second direction of the third surface 43, and accommodates the second protruding portion 56 through the second opening 49. The second movement restricting portion 47 restricts the movement of the second protruding portion 56 accommodated in the second housing portion 46 in the first direction. The second opening 49 is disposed between the third opposing surface 455 and the second surface 42 in the second direction of the third surface 43. With this configuration, the covering member 50 can be removed from the housing 40 simply by pressing the second end 521 of the second member 52 toward the first member 51 and rotating the covering member 50. As a result, an electronic device can be realized that includes a covering member that can be easily removed while preventing unintentional detachment. In addition, since there is no need to use fastening members such as screws to attach the covering member 50 to the housing 40, the appearance of the electronic device 1 is not marred by screws or the like.

[0049] Usually, the length of the third opposing surface 455 in the third direction cannot be sufficiently secured at both ends of the support portion 45 in the third direction. According to the electronic device 1, the elastic members 80 are provided between the second member 52 and the support portion 45 and at both ends in the third direction. With this configuration, even at both ends in the third direction where the length of the third opposing surface 455 in the third direction cannot be sufficiently secured, the second member 52 of the covering member 50 attached to the housing 40 can be elastically deformed in a direction approaching the first member 51, and the second protrusion 56 can be removed from the second housing portion 46. Also, according to the electronic device 1, each elastic member 80 biases the second protrusion 56 of the second member 52 arranged at both ends in the third direction in the second direction and in a direction away from the first member 51. With this configuration, the covering member 50 can be more reliably prevented from unintentionally falling off. As described above, according to the electronic device 1, an electronic device having a covering member that can be easily removed while more reliably preventing unintentional falling off can be realized.

[0050] The third opposing surface 455 on which the second opening 49 is disposed, to which the second housing portion 46 of the other-side mounting portion 62 disposed at the middle in the third direction is connected, has a length in the third direction that is at least twice as long as the second protrusion 56 of the other-side mounting portion 62. With this configuration, the second protrusion 56 can be more easily removed from the second housing portion 46. As a result, an electronic device can be realized that includes a covering member that can be more easily removed while preventing unintentional detachment.

[0051] Each elastic member 80 is disposed in a state compressed by less than 50% between the second member 52 and the support portion 45. With this configuration, the covering member 50 can be easily removed from the housing 40 while more reliably preventing the covering member 50 from unintentionally falling off.

[0052] When viewed along the first direction, the other-side attachment portion 62 is disposed away in the third direction from an imaginary line L that passes through the one-side attachment portion 61 and extends in the second direction. With this configuration, it is possible to realize an electronic device that is provided with an easily removable covering member while more reliably preventing unintentional detachment.

[0053] The electronic device 1 can also be configured as follows.

[0054] The housing 40 may have any shape having a first surface 41, a second surface 42 and a third surface 43.

[0055] The covering member 50 can be configured to cover any portion of the housing 40, not limited to the third surface 43 of the housing 40. Also, the covering member 50 may be configured to be attached to the first unit 10, not to the second unit 20. In this case, the attachment portion 60 is also provided on the first unit 10.

[0056] The covering member 50 may have any shape having a first member 51, a second member 52, and a third member 53. For example, a member connected to the first member 51, the second member 52, and the third member 53 may be provided at one end or both ends in the third direction X.

[0057] The mounting portion 60 may have at least one one-side mounting portion 61 and at least one other-side mounting portion 62 .

[0058] The elastic member 80 may be omitted. In addition, the elastic member 80 is not limited to being placed in a state compressed by less than 50%. The compression state of the elastic member 80 can be set arbitrarily according to the design of the electronic device 1, etc.

[0059] The other side attachment portion 62 is not limited to being disposed away from the imaginary straight line L in the third direction X when viewed along the first direction Y, but may also be disposed on the imaginary straight line L.

[0060] Any of the various embodiments or modifications described above may be appropriately combined to achieve the effects of each of them. In addition, combinations of embodiments, combinations of examples, or combinations of embodiments and examples are possible, and combinations of features of different embodiments or examples are also possible.

[0061] Although the present disclosure has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, various changes and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and such changes and modifications should be understood to be included within the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims unless they depart therefrom.
