Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure the easy attachment/detachment of a pen by providing a pen inserting hole in the side face of a tablet and also providing a pen holding member, a pen sliding member and a pen latching part. CONSTITUTION:When a pen 6 is stored, the pen is inserted into a hole 9 provided on the side face of a casing 7 of a tablet. Then a sliding member 11 is slid to the inner part of a holding member 10 by a pen point 6c, and the member 11 is locked by a latching member 14. Meanwhile the pen 6 is held by a pen holding projection part 10a. When the pen 6 is taken out, the pen is pushed into the member 10. Thus the member 11 locked by the member 14 is released from the member 14. Then the member 11 is slid toward a hole 10b of the member 10 by the elastic force of a coil spring 13 wound round the member 11. Thus the pen 6 is pushed out of the member 10 and then taken out. In such a way, the pen 6 can be easily attached and detached.
