Patent ID: 7940517

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a housing; and a plate-like cover that is provided for one face of the housing and is movable between a close position and an open position, in which the one face includes an open/close face and a non-open/close face, the open/close face being hidden by the cover when the cover is in the close position and is exposed when the cover is in the open position, and the non-open/close face being exposed when the cover is in the close position and is hidden by the cover when the cover is in the open position, a support mechanism to movably support the cover between the close position and the open position, in which the non-open/close face and the open/close face are parallel to each other, and in which the non-open/close face is located frontward from the open/close face by an amount approximately equal to a thickness of the cover, and in which the support mechanism includes, two first contact members protruding toward the one face from locations on the cover with an interval in a direction orthogonal to a direction of moving the cover, a first guide face that is provided toward the one face, extends along a direction of moving the cover, and is capable of contacting with the two first contact members between the close position and the open position, and an oscillation regulating mechanism for regulating oscillation of the cover at a supporting point where the first contact member contacts with the first guide face.
