A lock member 29 is provided, and a hook-attached wire 30 attached to the through-hole 22 is provided. The printed circuit board 24 mounts main circuit components such as a CPU (central processing unit).

バッテリパック２８は、筐体２１から分離できるように筐体２１に取り付けられる付属部品の一例である。バッテリパック２８は、後述するロック部材２９の爪部２９Ａが引っかかるための受け部２８Ａと、バッテリ本体２８Ｂと、を有している。付属部品としては、バッテリパック２８に限定されるものではない。付属部品は、フロッピーディスクドライブやハードディスクドライブ、拡張メモリであってもよい。   The battery pack 28 is an example of an accessory that is attached to the housing 21 so that the battery pack 28 can be separated from the housing 21. The battery pack 28 includes a receiving portion 28A for catching a claw portion 29A of a lock member 29 described later, and a battery main body 28B. The accessory part is not limited to the battery pack 28. The accessory part may be a floppy disk drive, a hard disk drive, or an extended memory.

筐体２１は、例えば、合成樹脂によって箱状に形成されている。筐体２１は、バッテリパック２８を装着するための装着部２１Ｄを有している。貫通孔２２は、筐体２１の側面２１Ａに形成されている。貫通孔２２は、いわゆるセキュリティロックスロットと呼ばれるものである。貫通孔２２は、幅方向に長くなった長円状に形成されている。筐体２１は、さらに、貫通孔２２の周囲を規定する縁部２１Ｂを有し、この縁部２１Ｂに後述する引掛部付きワイヤ３０の引掛部３７が引っかかるようになっている。   The housing | casing 21 is formed in the box shape with the synthetic resin, for example. The casing 21 has a mounting portion 21D for mounting the battery pack 28. The through hole 22 is formed in the side surface 21 </ b> A of the housing 21. The through hole 22 is a so-called security lock slot. The through hole 22 is formed in an oval shape that is elongated in the width direction. The casing 21 further has an edge portion 21B that defines the periphery of the through hole 22, and a hook portion 37 of a wire 30 with a hook portion described later is hooked on the edge portion 21B.

引掛部付きワイヤ３０は、いわゆるケンジントンロックやセキュリティワイヤロックと呼ばれるものある。図３に示すように、引掛部付きワイヤ３０は、金属製のワイヤ本体３３と、ワイヤ本体３３の先端部に設けられた錠部３４と、を有している。錠部３４は、例えば、円筒形状に形成されている。錠部３４は、錠部本体３５と、錠部本体３５に形成された図示しない鍵孔と、鍵孔に専用の鍵が挿入されることで回転する引掛部３７と、を有している。引掛部３７は、軸部３７Ａと、軸部３７Ａの先端から左右の両側に延びる腕部３７Ｂと、を有する「Ｔ」字状に形成されている。引掛部３７は、腕部３７Ｂを縦方向に配置した状態において、貫通孔２２の周囲の縁部２１Ｂに引っかかる。この状態において、引掛部３７は、後述するロック部材２９の移動経路の途中に配置される。引掛部３７は、腕部３７Ｂを横方向に配置した状態において、縁部２１Ｂから外れて貫通孔２２を通過することができる。   The hook-attached wire 30 is a so-called Kensington lock or security wire lock. As shown in FIG. 3, the wire 30 with the hook portion includes a metal wire main body 33 and a lock portion 34 provided at the distal end portion of the wire main body 33. The lock part 34 is formed in a cylindrical shape, for example. The lock portion 34 includes a lock portion main body 35, a key hole (not shown) formed in the lock portion main body 35, and a hook portion 37 that rotates when a dedicated key is inserted into the key hole. The hook portion 37 is formed in a “T” shape having a shaft portion 37A and arm portions 37B extending from the tip of the shaft portion 37A to the left and right sides. The hook portion 37 is hooked on the edge portion 21B around the through hole 22 in a state where the arm portion 37B is arranged in the vertical direction. In this state, the hook portion 37 is disposed in the middle of the movement path of the lock member 29 described later. The hook portion 37 can be detached from the edge portion 21B and pass through the through hole 22 in a state where the arm portion 37B is disposed in the lateral direction.

ロック部材２９は、筐体２１の側面２１Ａの近傍に配置されている。ロック部材２９は、筐体２１の開口部２３から筐体２１の底部２１Ｃに露出する指掛部２９Ｂと、指掛部２９Ｂから「Ｌ」字形に延びる爪部２９Ａと、指掛部２９Ｂおよび爪部２９Ａを閉じ方向に向けて付勢するばね２９Ｃと、を有している。ユーザは、指掛部２９Ｂに指を掛けることによって、ロック部材２９を操作することができる。ロック部材２９の爪部２９Ａは、付属部品であるバッテリパック２８に引っかかってバッテリパック２８の分離を阻止したり、バッテリパック２８から外れたりすることができる。ばね２９Ｃは、爪部２９Ａの基部と、筐体２１の内面との間に掛け渡されている。   The lock member 29 is disposed in the vicinity of the side surface 21 </ b> A of the housing 21. The lock member 29 includes a finger hook portion 29B exposed from the opening 23 of the housing 21 to the bottom portion 21C of the housing 21, a claw portion 29A extending in an “L” shape from the finger hook portion 29B, the finger hook portion 29B and the claw And a spring 29C that urges the portion 29A in the closing direction. The user can operate the lock member 29 by placing a finger on the finger hook portion 29B. The claw portion 29 </ b> A of the lock member 29 can be hooked on the battery pack 28 that is an accessory part to prevent the battery pack 28 from being separated or detached from the battery pack 28. The spring 29 </ b> C is stretched between the base portion of the claw portion 29 </ b> A and the inner surface of the housing 21.

続いて、図３と図４を参照して、本実施形態のロック部材２９の作用について説明する。図３に示すように、引掛部付きワイヤ３０の引掛部３７が貫通孔２２の内部に挿入されて、貫通孔２２の周囲の縁部２１Ｂに引っかかっている状態では、引掛部３７は、ロック部材２９の移動経路の途中に配置されている。このため、この状態でユーザが指掛部２９Ｂに指を掛けたとしても、ロック部材２９は引掛部３７と干渉する。このため、ロック部材２９をスライド移動させることができない。つまり、引掛部付きワイヤ３０が貫通孔２２に固定されている状態では、バッテリパック２８は、筐体２１から分離できないようになっている。   Subsequently, the operation of the lock member 29 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. As shown in FIG. 3, in the state where the hooking portion 37 of the wire 30 with the hooking portion is inserted into the through hole 22 and is hooked on the edge portion 21 </ b> B around the through hole 22, the hooking portion 37 is a locking member. It is arranged in the middle of 29 movement paths. For this reason, even if the user places a finger on the finger hook portion 29 </ b> B in this state, the lock member 29 interferes with the hook portion 37. For this reason, the lock member 29 cannot be slid. That is, the battery pack 28 cannot be separated from the housing 21 in a state where the wire 30 with the hooking portion is fixed to the through hole 22.

図４に示すように、貫通孔２２から引掛部付きワイヤ３０を取り除いた状態では、ロック部材２９の移動経路中には、障害となるものが存在しない。このため、ユーザは、指掛部２９Ｂに指を掛けてロック部材２９をスライドさせることができる。これと同時に、図２に示す第２のロック部材３８をスライド移動させる。この状態で、ユーザは、バッテリパック２８を筐体２１から分離させることができる。   As shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the wire 30 with the hooking portion is removed from the through hole 22, there is no obstacle in the movement path of the lock member 29. For this reason, the user can slide the lock member 29 by placing a finger on the finger hook portion 29B. At the same time, the second lock member 38 shown in FIG. 2 is slid. In this state, the user can separate the battery pack 28 from the housing 21.

なお、バッテリパック２８を固定する際には、上記と逆の手順で行う。すなわち、筐体２１の装着部２１Ｄにバッテリパック２８を装着する。そして、バッテリパック２８の受け部２８Ａにロック部材２９の爪部２９Ａを挿入して、バッテリパック２８をロックする。さらに、貫通孔２２に引掛部付きワイヤ３０を装着して作業が終了する。   In addition, when fixing the battery pack 28, the procedure reverse to the above is performed. That is, the battery pack 28 is attached to the attachment portion 21D of the housing 21. Then, the claw portion 29A of the lock member 29 is inserted into the receiving portion 28A of the battery pack 28 to lock the battery pack 28. Furthermore, the wire 30 with a hooking part is attached to the through hole 22 to complete the operation.

以上が、電子機器の一例であるポータブルコンピュータ１１の実施形態である。第１の実施形態によれば、ポータブルコンピュータ１１は、貫通孔２２と、この貫通孔２２の周囲を規定する縁部２１Ｂと、を有する筐体２１と、筐体２１から分離できるように筐体２１に取り付けられる付属部品と、筐体２１に対してスライド移動可能に設けられるとともに、付属部品に引っかかって付属部品の分離を阻止したり、付属部品から外れたりするロック部材２９と、貫通孔２２の縁部２１Ｂに引っかかったり、貫通孔２２の縁部２１Ｂから外れたりする引掛部３７を有する引掛部付きワイヤ３０と、を具備し、貫通孔２２は、貫通孔２２の縁部２１Ｂに引っかかった引掛部３７をロック部材２９の移動経路の途中に配置するように、筐体２１に形成される。   The above is the embodiment of the portable computer 11 which is an example of the electronic apparatus. According to the first embodiment, the portable computer 11 includes a housing 21 having a through hole 22 and an edge 21B that defines the periphery of the through hole 22, and a housing that can be separated from the housing 21. An accessory attached to the housing 21, a slide member that is slidable with respect to the housing 21, a locking member 29 that is hooked on the accessory to prevent the accessory from being separated or detached from the accessory, and a through hole 22. The hook-attached wire 30 having a hook portion 37 that is hooked on the edge portion 21B of the through hole 22 or detached from the edge portion 21B of the through hole 22 is provided. The through hole 22 is hooked on the edge portion 21B of the through hole 22. The hook portion 37 is formed on the housing 21 so as to be arranged in the middle of the movement path of the lock member 29.

この構成によれば、ポータブルコンピュータ１１自体の盗難のみならず、筐体２１に取り付けられる付属部品も盗難から守ることができる。また、付属部品の盗難を防止するために、別途に処置を施す必要がなく、付属部品の固定を簡単かつ迅速に行うことができる。さらに、付属部品を固定するためにアタッチメント金具のような部品を必要としないため、部品点数の削減に貢献することができる。   According to this configuration, it is possible to protect not only the theft of the portable computer 11 itself but also the accessory parts attached to the housing 21 from the theft. In addition, in order to prevent the accessory from being stolen, it is not necessary to take a separate measure, and the accessory can be fixed easily and quickly. Furthermore, since a part such as an attachment metal fitting is not required to fix the accessory part, it is possible to contribute to a reduction in the number of parts.

この場合、ロック部材２９は、指を掛けるための指掛部２９Ｂを筐体２１の底部２１Ｃに対応する位置に有し、貫通孔２２は、筐体２１の側面２１Ａに形成される。この構成によれば、引掛部付きワイヤ３０が固定される貫通孔２２を筐体２１の側面２１Ａに配置できるため、ユーザが貫通孔２２にアクセスしやすくすることができる。   In this case, the lock member 29 has a finger hook portion 29 </ b> B for hooking a finger at a position corresponding to the bottom portion 21 </ b> C of the housing 21, and the through hole 22 is formed in the side surface 21 </ b> A of the housing 21. According to this configuration, since the through hole 22 to which the hooked wire 30 is fixed can be disposed on the side surface 21 </ b> A of the casing 21, the user can easily access the through hole 22.

この場合、ロック部材２９は、筐体２１の側面２１Ａの近傍に配置される。この構成によれば、ロック部材２９の移動経路の途中に引掛部３７を配置するレイアウトを容易にとることができる。   In this case, the lock member 29 is disposed in the vicinity of the side surface 21 </ b> A of the housing 21. According to this configuration, a layout in which the hooking portion 37 is arranged in the middle of the movement path of the lock member 29 can be easily taken.

続いて、図５を参照して、電子機器の第２の実施形態について、ポータブルコンピュータに適用した場合を例に説明する。第２の実施形態の電子機器の一例であるポータブルコンピュータ４１は、シリンダー錠４２を有する点などが第１の実施形態と異なっているが、他の部分は共通している。このため、主として第１の実施形態と異なる部分について説明し、第１の実施形態と共通する箇所については共通の符号を付して説明を省略する。   Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a second embodiment of the electronic device will be described by taking as an example a case where it is applied to a portable computer. The portable computer 41, which is an example of the electronic device of the second embodiment, differs from the first embodiment in that it has a cylinder lock 42, but the other parts are common. For this reason, a different part from 1st Embodiment is mainly demonstrated, the code | symbol same about the location which is common in 1st Embodiment is attached | subjected, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
