Patent ID: 7463253

Claim:
An on-vehicle electronic equipment comprising: a display panel having a display surface; a case body accommodating the display panel; a traveling unit which is movably provided inside the case body and which allows the display panel to move in insertion direction and eject direction with respect to the case body, a guide portion provided inside the case body to guide the movement of the traveling unit; and a drive source, wherein the traveling unit further including: a traveling mechanism reciprocating along the guide portion, a revolvable panel coupling portion attachably and detachably coupling the display panel with the traveling unit, and a panel revolution mechanism revolving the display panel ejected from the case body and the panel coupling portion by a drive force generated by the drive source being rotated in a first direction so that the display surface of the display panel faces in a eject direction of the display panel with respect to the case body, the panel coupling portion further including a locking tool for locking the display panel to the traveling unit, and wherein the locking tool is moved between a release position at which separation of the display panel from the traveling unit is allowed by the panel revolution mechanism and a lock position at which the separation of the display panel from the traveling unit is prevented, and the movement from the lock position to the release position of the locking tool is performed by a drive force generated by the drive source being rotated in a second direction which is a reverse direction to the first direction of the drive source.
