Abstract:
1. A support device comprising: an electronic device guide that guides an electronic device that is to be mounted thereon; a connector that connects to the electronic device mounted on the electronic device guide; a circuit board being attached with the connector; a horizontal support portion that supports the circuit board to be movable in an in-plane direction of a plane of the circuit board to which the connector is attached; a horizontal movement regulation portion that is provided at a peripheral edge of the circuit board and at a position apart from the connector for regulating a movement of the circuit board in the in-plane direction; a vertical support portion that supports the circuit board to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the in-plane direction to expose the connector from an opening that is formed at a position displaced from a center of a bottom wall of the electronic device guide toward one side; and an engagement piece having a claw that is provided at a position displaced from the center of the bottom wall of the electronic device guide toward the other side of the connector, wherein, when the electronic device is mounted on the electronic device guide, the claw engages with an engagement hole formed on a bottom wall of the electronic device, and wherein, when the electronic device is dismounted from the electronic device guide, the claw is disengaged from the engagement hole by pulling the electronic device upward while inclining the electronic device toward the position displaced toward the other side of the connector so as to allow the electronic device to be disengaged primarily from the connector.
