特開2002−310134号公報JP 2002-310134 A

従来の折りたたみ式電子機器は上記のように構成され、旋回軸と開閉部とを結合するための取付金具が旋回軸にカシメ固定されていて取り外しできなかったため、電子機器の組立に際して、本体部のケース部に旋回軸付きの回動軸を固定した後、本体部の蓋部を上記ケース部に装着する際、上記蓋部が上記取付金具に当接してそのままの状態では装着することができないことから、上記本体部側に上記取付金具を通すための通し孔あるいは切り欠きを形成する必要が生じ、そのため本体部の筐体剛性の低下を招くことになる他、電子機器の小型化への障害になるなどの問題点があった。   The conventional folding electronic device is configured as described above, and the mounting bracket for coupling the pivot shaft and the opening / closing portion is fixed to the pivot shaft and cannot be removed. After attaching the pivot shaft with the pivot shaft to the case part, when attaching the lid part of the main body part to the case part, the lid part cannot be attached as it is in contact with the mounting bracket. Therefore, it is necessary to form a through hole or a notch for passing the mounting bracket on the main body side, which causes a decrease in the housing rigidity of the main body portion, and an obstacle to downsizing of electronic devices There were problems such as becoming.

この発明は、上記のような問題点を解消するためになされたもので、旋回軸に固定される取付金具が組立時に障害とならないようにした折りたたみ式電子機器を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a foldable electronic device in which a mounting bracket fixed to a pivot shaft does not become an obstacle during assembly.

この発明に係る折りたたみ式電子機器は、操作部を設けた本体部と、表示部を設けた開閉部とを開閉自在に枢着する回動軸と、この回動軸にほぼ直交して設けられ上記開閉部を上記本体部に対して旋回自在に支承する旋回軸とを有する折りたたみ式電子機器において、上記開閉部に上記旋回軸との結合部となる取付金具を設けると共に、上記取付金具と上記旋回軸とを着脱可能に結合したものである。   A foldable electronic device according to the present invention is provided with a rotation shaft that pivotally attaches and closes a main body portion provided with an operation portion and an opening / closing portion provided with a display portion, and substantially orthogonal to the rotation shaft. In a foldable electronic device having a pivot shaft that pivotally supports the opening / closing portion with respect to the body portion, the opening / closing portion is provided with a mounting bracket serving as a coupling portion with the pivot shaft, and the mounting bracket and the The pivot shaft is detachably coupled.

この発明に係る折りたたみ式電子機器は上記のように構成され、旋回軸と取付金具とを着脱可能に結合しているため、電子機器の組立時には取付金具を旋回軸から取り外すことにより、本体部と回動軸とを容易に組み立てることができ、本体側に通し孔や切り欠きを形成する必要がない。従って、筐体剛性の低下を防ぐことが出来ると共に、組立作業性を改善することができ、小型化への障害になることもない。   The folding electronic device according to the present invention is configured as described above, and the pivot shaft and the mounting bracket are detachably coupled. Therefore, when the electronic device is assembled, the mounting bracket is removed from the pivot shaft, The rotating shaft can be easily assembled and there is no need to form a through hole or notch on the main body side. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the rigidity of the housing, improve the assembly workability, and do not hinder downsizing.
