Therefore, it is important that an electronic device used on a plane such as the electronic notebook 1 can be stably rested on a plane when used, unlike a smartphone, a mobile phone, or the like that is used with a hand. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the cover 4 is folded back, the second housing member 3 and the main body 43 of the cover 4 are in contact with each other, and the housing and the main body 43 of the cover 4 are in contact. Become parallel. Therefore, the electronic notebook 1 with the cover 4 folded to the back side can be stably placed on a plane such as a desk, and the electronic notebook 1 can be prevented from shaking when the user inputs with a stylus or the like. it can.

  That is, since the connection part 44 which is a soft part is being fixed to the approximate center part of the thickness direction of the side wall of a housing | casing, the cover 4 can be rotated centering | focusing on the approximate center part of the side wall. Moreover, it can be said that the recessed part 45 is a groove | channel extended | stretched in the longitudinal direction of the side wall of a housing | casing.

  In the present embodiment, since the ridge angle in the negative direction of the Z-axis of the second housing member 3 is chamfered, the bending of the connecting portion 44 when the cover 4 is bent to the back side of the electronic notebook 1 is accommodated. There is space. Therefore, even when the cover 4 is bent to the back side of the electronic notebook 1, even if excessive deflection occurs in the connection portion 44, the cover 4 can be brought into close contact with the second housing member 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the pen holder 5 is also sandwiched between the first housing member 2 and the second housing member 3 in the same manner as the cover 4. It is connected to the approximate center of the direction (thickness direction). Since the pen holder 5 is fixed at a substantially central portion in the thickness direction of the housing, the size (bulge) of the pen holder 5 in the Z-axis direction is within the range of the thickness (length in the Z-axis direction) of the housing. Can do. Since the pen holder 5 does not jump out of the thickness range of the housing, the pen holder 5 does not get in the way and the electronic notebook 1 can be easily carried, and other things such as books and personal computers and the electronic notebook 1 can be stabilized. Can be stacked.

[Third Embodiment]
[Configuration of screw cover]
Next, the structure of a screw concealment cover is demonstrated based on FIGS. The first screw concealed cover 6 and the second screw concealed cover 7 are different only in size and number of members, and have the same function. Here, the first screw hidden cover 6 will be described as an example. FIG. 5 is an external view of the first screw hidden cover 6 from the negative direction side of the Z axis, and FIG. 6 is an external view of the first screw hidden cover 6 from the positive direction side of the Z axis. These are the external views from the positive direction side of the X-axis of the 1st screw concealment cover 6. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the first screw concealment cover 6 includes one main body portion 63 and four insertion portions 64. The main body 63 has an elongated plate shape extending in the Y-axis direction. The main body portion 63 is provided with four housing portions (first housing portions) 62 that engage with the hooks 22. The accommodating portion 62 has a concave shape and accommodates the tip portion of the hook 22 that is bent into an L shape. The four insertion portions 64 are arranged side by side in the Y-axis direction along the main body portion 63, and each insertion portion 64 includes a main portion 65 and a claw portion 66. The main portion 65 has a comb shape. The claw portion 66 is a convex shape extending from the main portion 65 in a direction (Y-axis direction) that is orthogonal to the insertion direction of the main portion 65 (the positive direction of the X axis) and parallel to the surface of the cover 4. belongs to. Further, the claw portion 66 extends toward the closer of either end of the main portion 65 in the Y-axis direction. In other words, of the four insertion portions 64, the claw portion 66 of the insertion portion 64 disposed on the Y axis positive direction side from the center of the first screw hidden cover 6 extends from the main portion 65 to the Y axis positive direction side. The claw portion 66 of the insertion portion 64 that is extended and disposed on the negative direction side of the Y axis from the center of the first screw hidden cover 6 extends from the main portion 65 to the negative direction side of the Y axis. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the claw portion 66 is a ridge angle in the extending direction extending from the main portion 65, and the ridge angle on the cover 4 side (the positive direction side of the Z axis) is chamfered.

  Since the insertion portion 64 has the claw portion 66, the first screw hidden cover 6 can be prevented from being naturally removed from the accessory-integrated case, and the housing portion 34 of the first screw hidden cover 6 can be prevented. Insertability is improved. The reason for this will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a relationship in size of the YZ cross section (insertion surface and accommodation port) between the insertion portion 64 and the accommodation portion 34. Here, the accommodating portion 34 is formed by the second housing member 3 and the cover 4. The cross-sectional area of the insertion surface of the main portion 65 of the insertion portion 64 is substantially the same as the cross-sectional area of the accommodation port of the accommodation portion 34. However, the cross-sectional area of the insertion surface of the main portion 65 of the insertion portion 64 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the accommodation port of the accommodation portion 34.

  Since the cross-sectional area of the insertion surface of the main part 65 and the cross-sectional area of the accommodation port of the accommodation part 34 are substantially the same, as shown in FIG. 8, the Y-axis direction of the insertion part 64 (main part 65 + claw part 66) Is longer than the length of the accommodating portion 34 in the Y-axis direction. Therefore, even if the insertion portion 64 is inserted straight in the positive direction of the X axis, the insertion portion 64 cannot be easily inserted into the housing portion 34.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, both ends of the first screw hidden cover 6 in the Y-axis direction are bent in the positive direction of the X-axis and the negative direction of the Z-axis, and the insertion portion 64 is inserted into the housing portion 34. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, the insertion portion 64 is inclined with respect to the XY plane, so that the length of the insertion portion 64 in the Y-axis direction is within the diagonal line of the storage port of the storage portion 34. Further, since the cover 4 is made of a softer material than the second housing member 3 and the first screw concealed cover 6, the insertion portion 64 can push the cover 4 to create a space. Therefore, the insertion portion 64 can be inserted into the housing portion 34 by bending both ends of the first screw hidden cover 6 in the Y-axis direction.

  When the insertion portion 64 is inserted into the accommodating portion 34, the first screw hidden cover 6 can be prevented from being detached from the accessory-integrated case because of the claw portion 66.

  Here, contrary to the insertion, it is easy to pull the central part of the first screw hidden cover 6 in the negative direction of the X-axis from the accessory-integrated case to which the first screw hidden cover 6 is attached. Can be removed. In a normal use mode, a force may be applied to the end portion of the first screw hidden cover 6 attached to the accessory-integrated case, but a force is rarely applied to the center portion. Therefore, in a normal use mode, it is possible to prevent the first screw hidden cover 6 attached to the accessory-integrated housing from being naturally removed.

  In the present embodiment, the flexibility of the main portion 65 (insertion portion 64) is improved by making the main portion 65 into a comb shape. However, the shape of the main portion 65 is not limited to this, and the cross-sectional area of the insertion surface of the main portion 65 is substantially the same as the cross-sectional area of the housing portion 34, and the cross-sectional area of the insertion surface is the cross-sectional area of the housing portion 34. As long as it is smaller, the main portion 65 may have any shape.

  In the present embodiment, the first screw hidden cover 6 has four insertion portions 64 and the second screw hidden cover 7 has two insertion portions 74. The number of the insertion portions 64, 74 is as follows. 1 or more.

  Moreover, it can be said that the hook 22 and the accommodating part 62 are the 1st cover fixing | fixed part for positioning a screw concealment cover. The first cover fixing portion for fixing the screw concealed cover to the first housing member 2 is not limited to the hook 22 and the accommodating portion 62, and may be arbitrary. In this case, what is necessary is just to design the magnitude | size of the 2nd opening parts 41 and 51 based on the shape of a 1st cover fixing | fixed part. Moreover, the hook 22 and the accommodating part 62, ie, the 1st cover fixing | fixed part, should just be 1 or more with respect to one screw hidden cover.

  Further, it can be said that the insertion portion 64 and the accommodating portion 34 are second cover fixing portions for attaching the screw hidden cover to the second housing member 3. The insertion part 64 and the accommodating part 34, ie, the 2nd cover fixing | fixed part, should just be 1 or more with respect to one screw hidden cover.

Therefore, the length of the insertion portion in the direction in which the claw portion extends is larger than the length of the second housing portion in the same direction. Therefore, even if it inserts the said insertion part straightly, it cannot insert in the said 2nd accommodating part.

  However, since the claw portion is chamfered, the length of the insertion portion can be accommodated within the diagonal line of the second accommodation portion by tilting the insertion portion. In addition, since the accessory part is made of a softer material than the second housing member, the insertion portion can create a space for inserting the accessory part by pushing. Therefore, it can be easily inserted into the second accommodating portion by tilting the insertion portion.

  Further, as described above, even when the insertion portion accommodated in the second accommodation portion is pulled out straight, the claw portion serves as a stopper and cannot be pulled out. Therefore, it is possible to improve the insertability of the fixed portion hidden cover into the accessory-integrated case and to prevent the fixed portion hidden cover from being detached from the accessory-integrated case.

  The accessory-integrated case according to aspect 8 of the present invention is the above-described accessory-integrated housing according to aspect 7, wherein the fixing portion hidden cover includes a plurality of the insertion portions, and the plurality of insertion portions are arranged along a predetermined direction. And the said nail | claw part may be extended | stretched from the said main part toward the nearer one of the both ends of the arrangement direction of the said insertion part in the said fixing | fixed part hidden cover.

  According to the above configuration, since the claw portion extends toward both ends of the fixed portion hidden cover, even if force is applied to both ends of the fixed portion hidden cover, the accessory integrated type The fixed portion hidden cover is more difficult to be removed from the housing.

  An electronic device according to an aspect 9 of the present invention includes the accessory-integrated case according to any one of the above aspects 1 to 8.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope shown in the claims. That is, embodiments obtained by combining technical means appropriately modified within the scope of the claims are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  The present invention can be used for a casing of an electronic device such as an electronic notebook, in which accessory parts of the electronic device are integrated.
