(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of an opening / closing section of a notebook computer which is an electronic device having an opening / closing lid according to an embodiment of the present invention, as viewed from inside the apparatus. FIG. 1B shows an opened state, and FIG. 1B shows a closed state. In the figure, reference numeral 1b denotes a guide groove provided in the main body 1, which is formed in the direction from the opening 1a side to the inside of the device, and the end of the opening 1a side is closed in an arc shape. Reference numeral 3 denotes an openable / closable lid made of resin. Cylindrical guide pins 3b are provided in the vicinity of two opposite ends of the lid 3a, respectively.
Is fitted. Reference numeral 3c denotes a slit formed in parallel with the side on which the guide pin 3b is provided, whereby an elastic force is generated between the lid 3a and the guide pin 3b. Also,
In the guide groove 1b, a projection 1c is provided with a dimension substantially equal to the outer diameter of the guide pin 3b from the end on the opening 1a side. The height of the projection 1c is such that the guide pin 3b can be overcome by the elastic force of the slit 3c.

点位置を明確に感じ取ることができる。The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing lid of the notebook computer configured as described above will be described. Since the guide pin 3b is fitted in the guide groove 1b, the cover 3 slides along the guide groove 1b, and the cover 3a is pulled out of the opening 1a. At this time, the guide pin 3b once comes into contact with the projection 1c in the guide groove 1b, but the slit 3c
Can overcome the convex portion 1c by the elastic force of the elastic member. Thereafter, the movement in the direction of the opening 1a is stopped by the end of the guide groove 1b closed in an arc shape. Then, at this position, the guide pin 3b is rotated about a fulcrum, and the direction of the lid 3a is changed to the direction shown in FIG. 1B, so that the opening 1a is closed. At this time, the position of the opening / closing lid 3 is maintained because the guide pin 3b is sandwiched between the end of the guide groove 1b and the projection 1c with substantially the same dimensions, the fulcrum of rotation does not move, and the opening / closing operation is stabilized. FIG. 2 shows the positional relationship between the guide groove 1b and the guide pin 3b at this time. In addition, the guide pin 3b is
Since a click feeling is created when the user gets over c, the position of the rotation fulcrum can be clearly sensed.
【００１４】このように、開閉蓋の回転支点位置が安定
し、クリック感を創出するため、回転支点位置を明確に
感じ取ることができ、開閉不良を減らすことができる。As described above, the position of the rotation fulcrum of the opening / closing lid is stable and a click feeling is created, so that the position of the rotation fulcrum can be clearly sensed, and poor opening / closing can be reduced.
【００１５】また、開閉構造にバネ板などを不要とする
