Patent ID: 8434198

Claim:
An FPC fixing structure for a two-axis hinge mechanism for fixing an FPC for an electrical connection between a main body apparatus and a monitor to a two-axis hinge mechanism that is composed of: a monitor folding and unfolding mechanism for allowing the monitor to be folded and unfolded about a first axis with respect to the main body apparatus; and a monitor turning mechanism for allowing the monitor having been turned in the unfolded direction with respect to the first axis to be turned about a second axis that is orthogonal to the first axis, wherein the monitor turning mechanism comprises: a tubular boss of which one end is fixed to the side of the monitor and the other end is turnably supported by a base of the monitor folding and unfolding mechanism about the second axis; an FPC fixing member that is fastened within the boss, protrudes from the base of the monitor folding and unfolding mechanism, also has an insertion opening through the end face thereof on the base side, and passes the FPC through the insertion opening to the side of the monitor to hold the FPC linearly on the second axis; and an FPC wiring fixing section that curves outside the second axis the FPC that is led from the one end side of the FPC fixing member where the insertion opening is provided in the direction orthogonal to the second axis, to cause the FPC to have a deflection allowance, and that fixes the FPC to the base.
