Abstract:
An electronic apparatus comprising:a slide tray mounted on a casing of a main body portion of the apparatus for extraction to a forward pull-out position via an opening surface of said casing;a resilient member mounted on one of the casing of the main body portion and the slide tray for sliding in a direction of extraction of said slide tray and for being resiliently contacted with the other of the casing of the main body portion and the slide tray; andbiasing means for biasing said resilient member in a direction of extracting said slide tray from the casing of the main body portion when the slide tray is in a housed position within the casing of the main body portion; whereina first engagement hole or an engagement recess is formed in said other of the casing of the main body portion and the slide tray or said resilient member, an engagement member engaged in said first engagement hole or said engagement recess is formed in said resilient member or said other of the casing of the main body portion and the slide tray, said engagement member being engaged in said first engagement hole or the engagement recess when the slide tray is in said pull-out position and wherein said biasing means includes an ejection plate supported on said one of the casing member of the main body portion and the slide tray for sliding in a direction in which said slide tray is extracted from the casing of the main body portion or in a direction in which said slide tray is receded into said casing of the main body portion, and a resilient member for protruding from said ejection plate towards said other of the casing member of the main body portion and the slide tray;said resilient member is supported by said ejection plate;and whereinwhen the slide tray has been receded into said housed position, said ejection plate is caused to bear against said other of the casing member of the main body portion and the slide tray so as to be receded into said one of the casing member of the main body portion and the slide tray whereby the resilient force of moving said slide tray in a direction of being extracted out of the casing of the main body portion is accumulated in said resilient member.
