Abstract:
1. A hook which is provided to an attachment device so as to prevent the attachment device mounted into an insertion slot of an electronic apparatus from being dismounted from the insertion slot, the hook comprising: a ring portion which is formed at one end of the hook and which is pivoted by a spindle situated in the attachment device; a latch portion which is formed at the other end of the hook and which is caused, by the ring portion rotating around the spindle, to be switched between a latched state, in which the hook is latched onto a predetermined portion of the electronic apparatus, and a non-latched state; and an arm for connecting between the ring portion and the latch portion, wherein the ring portion is shaped so as to be deformed when a force is applied from the arm thereto, the force being caused by the attachment device moving so as to be ejected from the insertion slot in the latched state, and the ring portion is shaped so as to include a slit which completely intersects the ring portion from an inner circumference thereof to an outer circumference thereof, and the inner circumference is smaller than and concentric with the outer circumference.
