Patent ID: 7889488

Claim:
An electronic apparatus, comprising: a first housing including a top surface and a front surface orthogonal to the top surface; a second housing; and a hinge configured to connect the first housing with the second housing; wherein the first housing includes a lock unit and a perforation hole, the perforation hole being located at a center of the first housing in an axial direction of a rotating axis of the hinge, and extending in the axial direction, and wherein the lock unit includes: a lock member configured to lock the first housing and the second housing in a lock state; an operation member provided on the front surface of the first housing, and configured to move the lock member and to release a lock of the first housing and the second housing by the lock member; and a transmission mechanism that includes a transmission surface on the operation member, and is configured to transmit a driving force applied to the operation member to the lock member so that the lock member can move in a direction orthogonal to an operating direction of the operation member which is a first direction perpendicular to the front surface of the first housing, the lock member projecting in a second direction orthogonal to the top surface of the first housing through the perforation hole of the first housing, and a moving direction of the lock member being a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction.
