のである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an information processing device having a keyboard, which employs a thin keyboard and has a structure that makes it easy to type keys. Furthermore, this structure is used to reduce the thickness of the device body.

すらいという不具合があった。The conventional portable information processing device is Jitsuma 61-160526
As is well known in the issue. Although not explicitly stated in this publication, these information processing devices currently have thin main bodies (
There is a strong trend toward smaller and more compact devices, and even keyboards, which are built-in components of the device body, are becoming thinner. The thinner keyboard has a thinner base, but the keys are also thinner and the keystroke is shorter. Therefore, when the information processing apparatus is built into the main body of the information processing apparatus, there is a problem in that when pressing the keys around the keyboard, the fingers come into contact with the casing, making it difficult to input data.
上記従来技術は、詳述した様に情報処理装置本体の薄型
化にとられれ、キーボードの打鍵のしやすさ（操作性）
という点について、配慮が欠けていた。As described in detail, the above conventional technology is aimed at making the main body of the information processing device thinner, and improving the ease of typing on the keyboard (operability).
There was a lack of consideration in this regard.
本発明の目的は、上記構造上の問題点を解決し操作性に
優れた薄型の情報処理装置あるいはキーボードを提供す
ることにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a thin information processing device or keyboard that solves the above structural problems and has excellent operability.

面を大きくとることにより本体の薄型化をはかったもの
である。In order to achieve the above object, the operability of the thin keyboard is improved by eliminating the corners of the casing around the keyboard and providing a sloped surface. In addition, the keyboard is attached to the main body of the device at a position below the main body case by making the slope large, thereby making the main body thinner.
本発明は、上記手段により操作者は、キーボード入力時
どのキーを打鍵する場合においても、指が筐体と接触す
ることなく容易に操作することができ、本体を薄型化で
きる。According to the present invention, the above-mentioned means allows the operator to easily operate the keyboard without the fingers coming into contact with the housing, regardless of which key is pressed during keyboard input, and the main body can be made thinner.
以下本発明の一実施例を第１図ないし第３図により説明
する。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

。FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the main body of the portable information processing device. As shown in Figure 1, the device main body 1 includes a floppy disk drive 2.
Keyboard 3. It consists of a main body case 1a containing a control board 7 (FIGS. 2-3) and an opening/closing case 1b having a liquid crystal display 4 in the display section, which are connected so as to be openable and closable.

報処理装置本体１を薄型化することができる。In the present invention, a slope 5 is provided around the key tops of the keyboard 3 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. This improves the operability of the thin keyboard 3 and allows input to be performed easily. Further, according to the present structure, the keyboard 3 is
The keyboard 3 can be fixed at a position where it does not protrude from the upper surface of the main body case 1a by moving its position further downward in the main body case 1a. With such a configuration, as shown in FIG.
Since the frame 6 (FIG. 1) that prevents contact with the surface in the stored state can be removed, the corresponding thickness is eliminated, and the information processing apparatus main body 1 can be made thinner.
本発明は、以上説明した構造となっているので、従来技
