DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 are side views showing an embodiment of a housing structure of a notebook personal computer according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a state when the liquid crystal panel 1 is closed. The housing structure of the notebook computer device of the present invention includes a device main body 5, a liquid crystal panel 1, a hinge portion 2 serving as an axis when the liquid crystal panel 1 is opened and closed, and a tilt for tilting the device at the time of keyboard input. It is composed of three feet. The liquid crystal panel 1 is opened and closed by a hinge portion 2, and the hinge portion 2
Is connected to a tilt foot 3. That is, the tilt foot 3 is directly connected to the hinge part 2 of the liquid crystal panel 1.
The tilt foot 3 is directly connected to the hinge portion 2 of the liquid crystal panel 1.

Next, FIG. 2 is a side view showing a state in which the liquid crystal panel 1 is slightly opened in the housing structure of the notebook computer device of the present invention. By slightly opening the liquid crystal panel 1 from the state in which the liquid crystal panel 1 in FIG. 1 is closed, as shown in FIG. 2, the tilt feet 3 directly connected to the hinge portion 2 of the liquid crystal panel 1 stand together.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing a state in which the liquid crystal panel is completely opened in the housing structure of the notebook computer according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, when the liquid crystal panel 1 is completely opened from a state in which the liquid crystal panel 1 is slightly opened, as shown in FIG. 3, the tilt foot 3 directly connected to the hinge portion 2 of the liquid crystal panel 1 further interlocks. Standing. After the use of the notebook computer, when the liquid crystal panel 1 is closed, the tilt foot 3 is automatically retracted, and the state returns to the state shown in FIG. In this way, the notebook computer can be prepared for use only by opening the liquid crystal panel 1 at the time of use, so that there is an advantage that time and labor required for using the notebook computer can be saved.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIGS. 4 to 6 are side views showing another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a movable plate 4 having the same size as the bottom area of the device main body 5 is provided on the bottom surface of the notebook computer device.

FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state where the liquid crystal panel 1 is closed. As shown in this figure, when the plate 4 having the same size as the bottom area of the apparatus main body 5 is provided, and the liquid crystal panel 1 is closed, the apparatus main body 5 and the plate 4 are closed.
The liquid crystal panel 1 and the tilt foot 3 are accommodated in a substantially parallel state.

As shown in FIG. 5, the side of the plate 4 opposite to the tilt foot 3 is fixed to the apparatus main body 5, and when the liquid crystal panel 1 is opened and closed, the plate 4 moves up and down in conjunction with the movement of the tilt foot 3. I do.

When the liquid crystal panel 1 is completely opened, FIG.
As shown in (2), the tilt foot 3 stands upright and can be used on the knee. In addition, when used on the knee, a gap is formed between the device main body 5 and the knee, so that heat on the bottom surface of the device main body 5 is not directly transmitted to the knee. Therefore, there is also an advantage that there is no possibility of a low-temperature burn.

[0020]

According to the present invention, the tilt foot stands in conjunction with the opening of the liquid crystal panel. Therefore, there is an effect that labor and time required for preparation for using the notebook computer can be saved.

Further, the tilt foot is forcibly raised in conjunction with the opening of the liquid crystal panel. Therefore, there is an effect that the user can always use the notebook computer device in a state where the keyboard can be easily input without forgetting to set a tilt foot.
