FIG. 8 shows a notebook computer 1 in which a conventional latch device is a one-way push type opening knob, and the one-way push type opening knob 10 is opened by moving it to the left in the figure. As a result, the left-handed person can smoothly open it, but the right-handed person can not open it very smoothly. If the opening knob 10 of the notebook computer is designed to be opened by moving it to the right, the right-handed person can open it smoothly, but the left-handed person can not open it smoothly. Therefore, even if the manufacturer designs the open knob of the notebook computer to open to the right or left, the consumer should consider his or her dominant habit as one selection condition for purchasing the notebook computer. It has some impact on the sales of notebook computers.

In view of the above, the bidirectional opening latch means 3 can be modified as described below, but the bidirectional opening latch means 3 of the present invention is not limited to the following disclosure range. (First Modification) As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the reversing member 311 of the bidirectional opening latch means 3 includes a first flap 314 and a second flap 315 integrally adjacent to the first flap 314. , And the
It is composed of a shaft pin 316 assembled between the first flap 314 and the second flap 315, and the shaft pin 316 pivotally connects the reversing member 311 and the shaft seat 24 inside the upper end surface of the display shell 21 by the pivot shaft 240, and It can be pivoted about the axis 240.
Then, when the display shell 21 is closed on the main machine shell 20, the hook 313 is fitted from the first opening 201 to form an engagement state with the seat portion 4. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, when the moving knob 301 receives a force and moves toward the right side in the drawing in the direction of the second abutment 303, the second abutment 303 pushes the first flap 314. The first flap 314 rotates about the shaft pin 316 as an axis, and the second flap 315 rotates in the direction of the contact lug 312 to contact and push the contact lug 312, thereby pushing the pushing portion. 30 receives the force and moves to the left side in the drawing, the hook 313 can be detached from the seat portion 4 and pulled out from the first opening 201, and the display shell 21 can be flipped open from the main engine shell 20. it can. (Second Modification) As shown in FIG. 5, a rack portion 304 is provided on a side surface of the second abutment member 303 facing the locking portion 31, and a reversing member 311 is provided in this modification in a pinion 317 and a rack. The pinion 317 is also formed by the means 318, and the pinion 317 is also pivotally connected to the shaft seat 24 inside the upper end surface of the display shell 21 by the pivot 240 in the same manner as described above.
The pivot means 240 can be rotated about the axis, and the rack means 318 is a pushing portion.
The teeth of the pinion 317 are provided on the side of the second abutment 303 facing the rack portion 304 of the second abutment 30.
The teeth of the rack portion 304 of the 303 and the teeth of the rack means 318 can be meshed with each other, and as shown in FIG. 6, the distalmost tooth of the rack portion 304 (the rightmost tooth in the drawing) has the moving knob 301 in the middle. If you ’re in the area, it ’s on the left side of the pinion 317,
When the pushing portion 30 receives the force and moves to the left side, the first abutment 302 of the pushing portion 30 pushes the locking portion 31 to the left side in the drawing, and the rack portion 304 contacts the pinion 317. Without doing so, the hook 313 can be detached from the seat 4 in this manner. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the pushing portion 30 receives a force and moves to the right side in the drawing, the tooth at the end of the rack portion 304 is pinion 317.
The rack means 318 is moved to the left side by the rotation of the pinion 317 by meshing with the pinion 317, whereby the hook 313 can be disengaged from the engagement with the receiving portion 4. Then, when the display shell 21 is closed on the main machine shell 20, the hook 313 is fitted from the first opening 201 and engaged with the seat portion 4,
The notebook computer 2 can be kept closed.
