Patent ID: 8436266

Claim:
An electronic apparatus comprising: a circuit board which has a changeover switch mounted thereon; a housing which has two surfaces separating from each other in a thickness direction and extending in parallel with each other and a side surface connecting peripheral edges of the two surfaces to each other, holding the circuit board inside the housing with a space formed between one side of the circuit board and the side surface of the housing, the housing having an operation opening at the side surface of the housing at a portion of the side surface which includes a point at which a line perpendicular to the side surface of the housing passes through the changeover switch; a housed part which is housed inside the housing at a position between the one side of the circuit board and the side surface of the housing, the position for preventing the changeover switch from being visually recognized through the operation opening; and an operation member which includes an operation piece placed outside the side surface of the housing and receives a slide operation, and an operation arm which extends inside the housing from the operation piece through the operation opening formed at the portion of the side surface including the point at which the line perpendicular to the side surface of the housing passes through the changeover switch, the operation arm has a recess recessed in the thickness direction of the housing, the recess houses at least a portion of the housed part at the position to prevent the changeover switch from being visually recognized through the operation opening and bypasses the housed part to come in contact with the changeover switch, and switches the changeover switch when the operation piece receives the slide operation.
