Abstract:
1. A foldable device, comprising: a pair of device cases each having an end side extending between a first corner and a second corner; a hinge mechanism for pivotally connecting the end sides of the pair of device cases with each other; and a hinge cover for covering said hinge mechanism, wherein said first and second corners of said end side of each of said pair of device cases to which the hinge mechanism is connected protrude a prescribed length in a direction orthogonal to said end side, and said hinge mechanism is attached between said first and second protruding corners of said pair of device cases; wherein said hinge cover comprises a pair of box-shaped cover members, each of the box-shaped cover members having a cross-section that is substantially half-oval shaped in a direction orthogonal to said end side; wherein said cover members constituting the pair are disposed facing each other so as to sandwich and thereby cover said hinge mechanism positioned between said first and second protruding corners of said pair of device cases; and wherein fixing means is provided for fixing said pair of cover members with respect to each other in an area adjacent to said end side of at least one of said pair of device cases when said cover members are disposed facing each other.
