Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent clothes from being caught by a locking claw or a hand from coming into contact with the locking claw and to improve the appearance and completion of a product by preparing plural gears for transmitting the rotation of rotation axis of a display device to a winding spindle. CONSTITUTION:In the case of setting up an electronic apparatus from its stored state to a using state, a lock unlocking button 17 is rotated in the arrow direction A to unlock the locked state of an apparatus body 1 by a locking member (locking claw) 16. When the display device 5 is rotated around the rotation axis 6 by a prescribed angle in the arrow B direction, a gear 7 starts to rotate in the arrow C direction and transmits its rotating power to a gear 11 and the gear 11 is rotated in the arrow D direction. Thereby the winding axis 10 winds up a string-like member 20, the rotation axis 15 is rotated in the arrow A direction against the exciting force of a spring 18 and the claw 16 is stored in a case body 4. Thereby, the claw 16 is automatically stored in the case body 4 at the time of using the display device 5, the catching of clothes or the contact of a hand by/with the locking claw can be prevented and the appearance and completion of a product can be improved.

Then, the power of the second gear 8 is transmitted to the fourth gear 11 via the third gear 9 that rotates together with the second gear 8, and the fourth gear 11 is transmitted to the fourth gear 11. Similarly to gear 7, it rotates in the direction of arrow C. Due to the rotation of the fourth gear 11, the winding shaft 10 similarly rotates in the direction of arrow C, and the thread-like member 20
is wound up and the thread-like member 20 is pulled in the direction of arrow E. Then, the rotating shaft 15 of the locking mechanism rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow against the biasing force of the spring 18, whereby the locking claw 16 of the locking mechanism is housed in the housing 4. Therefore, the third
As shown in the figure, when the display device 5 is in use, the lock pawl 16 is automatically housed within the cylindrical body 4.

The rotation of the third gear 9 causes the fourth gear 11 to rotate in the direction of arrow G, and the winding shaft 10 also rotates in the direction of arrow G. When the winding shaft 10 rotates in the direction of arrow G, the tensile force on the thread-like member 20 is loosened, and as a result, the rotating shaft 15 and the lock pawl 16 of the locking mechanism begin to rotate in the direction of the arrow G due to the biasing force of the spring 18. When the display device 5 is stored in the state shown in FIG. 2, the lock claw 16 is securely locked to the device main body 1 as shown in FIG. 2, so that the display device 5 can be maintained in the stored state. There is.
