なく、組み立て工程の簡素化がはかれる。The housing A and the housing B of the main body of the electronic device are joined, and the hinge 9 of the housing A is passed through the hinge 10 of the housing B.
The hinge unit 6 is inserted from the axial direction into the inside. Next, the coil spring 3 is further deflected by the gap 6a and the screw 4 is pushed in the axial direction, whereby the insert 5 is inserted.
The rectangular engaging piece 5a is pushed and the through hole 7
Protruding more to the opposite side. The engagement piece 5a is a cross groove-shaped rib 8
When the head of the screw 4 is turned by 90 degrees at the point where it has passed, the engagement piece 5a of the insert 5 also rotates, and the through hole 7
When the pushing force applied to the screw 4 is removed at a right angle to the screw 4, the engaging piece 5 a of the insert 5 is interposed between the cross grooves of the rib 8 of the hinge 9 by the restoring force of the coil spring 3.
Is inserted, the hinge unit 6 is fixed to the hinge portions 9 and 10. Therefore, the housing A and the housing B are connected via the hinge portions 9 and 10. Conversely, when dismantling
Is rotated by pushing the screw 4 to deflect the coil spring 3.
When the insert 5 matches the through hole 7, the hinge
Unit 6 can be removed. According to such an embodiment, the housing A and the housing B of the electronic device main body are joined and joined.
Before connecting and assembling, the hinge unit 6 can be prepared in advance as a unit by a bonding process of the screw 4 and the insert 5, so that it is troublesome to assemble and bond the components inside the hinge during the assembling process of the electronic device body as in the related art. As a result, the assembly process can be simplified.
