Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a housing that comprises: a base body that houses an electronic component, comprising a plate section with at least one corner and a side extending from the one corner, and a side surface section formed on a peripheral edge of the plate section in a standing manner; and a cover covering at least a peripheral edge section of the base body, wherein the plate section comprises an antenna housing section that includes one corner section of the plate section and extends along one side from the one corner section, and a protruding section that is formed on the one corner section of the plate section in a standing manner towards the cover and includes a screw in which a female screw hole is formed, the screw hole opening toward a side opposite to the plate section, wherein the side surface section includes an opening which communicates between the antenna housing section and the outside of the housing; and an antenna body having a plate piece-like shape with a length to be housed in the antenna housing section, the antenna body including an antenna for radio communications and on one end section, a bearing section with an insertion hole which penetrates front and back surfaces of the antenna body to receive insertion of the protruding section, the antenna body being housed in the antenna housing section with being sandwiched between the plate section and the cover, and protruding from the housing when being rotated with the protruding section as a rotary shaft, wherein the cover is fastened to the protruding section with the protruding section inserted into the insertion hole by screwing a screw through the cover from a side of a surface opposite to a surface facing the plate section of the cover with the female screw, wherein the antenna body further includes a locked section on the other end section opposite to the one end section in which the insertion hole is formed, the electronic apparatus further comprises a locking mechanism that includes: a slide lever which is formed at a position adjacent to an end section of the side surface section, away from the protruding section of the antenna housing section; a locking member which is pivotably and rotatably supported on the plate section, is locked with the locked section to hold the antenna body in the antenna housing section, and releases the lock of the locked section by rotating upon reception of an operation of the slide lever; and an urging member which urges the locking member to a position to be locked with the locked section, wherein the locking member further includes: an operation receiving arm which extends towards the slide lever and rotates the locking member upon reception of the operation of the slide lever; a locking claw which locks the locked section and releases the lock of the locked section when the operation receiving arm rotates the locking member upon reception of the operation of the slide lever; and a push-out arm which extends along an inner side of the antenna body, opposite to an opening side, and pushes out the antenna body from the antenna housing section when the operation receiving arm rotates the locking member upon reception of the operation of the slide lever, and wherein the push-out arm and the locking claw are formed as one piece and move together.
