Patent ID: 6935597

Claim:
A vehicle-mounted electronic apparatus, comprising: a case having an opening on the front surface thereof; a face adapted to move from an ordinary orientation which is substantially vertical or oblique in front of said case to an accommodated orientation in which said face is accommodated within said case; a manipulation member disposed on a manipulation surface of said face so as to face forward when said face is in the ordinary orientation, said manipulation member being supported by said face so as to be able to advance and retract so that the amount of projection thereof from the manipulation surface is changeable; orientation variable means for moving said face from the ordinary orientation to the accommodated orientation and for drawing said face into said case through said opening; and a retracting mechanism for automatically retracting said manipulation member when said face is move from the ordinary orientation to the accommodated orientation, so that the amount of projection of said manipulation member from the manipulation surface is reduced; wherein when said face having the accommodated orientation enters said case through said opening, said manipulation member retracts to a position where said manipulation member does not come into contact with an edge of said opening.
