Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a case; a detachable member to be attached to and detached from the case; and a lock lever provided to keep the detachable member attached to the case, and provided in the case so as to be movable in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein the case comprises: an operation opening to enable the lock lever to be operated from outside the case; a lever support body to movably support the lock lever; a first restricting member for restricting movement of the lock lever in the first direction; and a second restricting member for restricting movement of the lock lever in the second direction, wherein the lock lever is supported by the lever support body so as to be movable in the first and second directions in a range restricted by the first and second restricting members while a part of the lock lever is exposed to the operation opening, wherein the lever support body comprises an opposite support body part provided in a position opposite to the operation opening, wherein the lock lever comprises a lever body and a tongue portion extending from the lever body in a length direction of the lever body, wherein the lock lever is supported so as to be movable between the operation opening and the opposite support body part such that the length direction of the lever body coincides with the first and second directions, and that the direction perpendicular to both the length and width directions of the lever body coincides with the direction perpendicular to an opening surface of the operation opening, wherein the lock lever is restricted from moving in the second direction by contact of an end of the tongue portion with the second restricting member, wherein the lever body has a width smaller than that of the operation opening, wherein assuming that L while the length L 2 from the end of the tongue portion to the end of the lever body satisfies the relation: wherein the case comprises a tongue portion escape section for temporarily escaping the tongue portion when attaching the lock lever to the case, wherein the tongue portion escape section is connected to the operation opening through a gap between the second restricting member and the opposite support body part, and wherein the tongue portion is elastic in the direction perpendicular to both the length and width directions of the lever body.
