Claim:
A portable electronic apparatus, comprising: a generally rectangular first housing; a generally rectangular second housing; a U-shaped bridge unit that rotatably connects the second housing and is connected to the first housing so that the second housing and the first housing can be folded to face each other; and an anchor unit that anchors the second housing to the bridge unit while stopping rotation of the second housing, wherein the second housing is connected to the bridge unit so as to rotate around an axis that is in a generally same direction as a fold axis for the first housing and the bridge unit, wherein the anchor unit is disposed on a corner part of the U-shaped bridge unit and anchors at least one corner part of the generally rectangular second housing that performs a rotation operation, wherein the second housing includes a storage part with a recessed part formed therein for storing the anchor unit, wherein the storage part is formed to a surface that faces the connection unit, wherein the anchor unit is provided on the corner part of the U-shaped bridge unit and anchors at least one corner part of the generally rectangular second housing that performs the rotation operation, and comprises: an upper anchor unit that is disposed on the second housing side stored to the storage unit, a lower anchor unit that is disposed between a spring disposed in the connection unit and the upper anchor unit, and includes an inclined part that slopes toward the corner part of the U-shaped bridge, and a button unit that depresses the upper anchor unit together with the lower anchor unit by depressing the inclined part, and wherein the lower anchor unit is depressed together with the spring by the button unit depressing the inclined part and moving along an inclined surface, the upper anchor unit comes off from the storage unit, and thereby making the second housing be in a rotatable state.
