  The operation member 41 is placed on the support member 42 so as to face the operation member arrangement hole 31e of the upper case 31 from the inner surface side, and is supported by the support member 42 so as to be movable in the left-right direction. The support member 42 is fixed to the inner surface of the upper case 31 with screws 43.

  The in / out member 61 is housed in the in / out member housing recess 31 c of the upper case 31. A second urging member 62 (see FIG. 6) is interposed between the in / out member 61 and the bottom surface of the in / out member housing recess 31c, and the in / out member 61 is urged upward (in the protruding direction).

  The moving member 51 is a member that is long in the left-right direction. A first engagement protrusion 51a is formed on the left end side, and a second engagement protrusion 51b is formed on the right end side. The first engagement protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51b each have a substantially L-shape that extends upward and bends to the right. An operation member fixing portion 51f is provided near the center of the moving member 51 in the left-right direction. The operation member 41 is fixed to the operation member fixing portion 51f, and the operation member 41 is integrated with the moving member 51 as shown in FIG.

  In the moving member 51, guide holes 51g and 51h are provided on the sides of the first engaging protrusion 51a and the second engaging protrusion 51b, respectively. The guide holes 51g and 51h are long holes extending in the left-right direction, and the guide member 53 is inserted from above as shown in FIG. The guide member 53 is fixed to the lower case 32 with screws (not shown). Therefore, the moving member 51 can move left and right within the length range of the guide holes 51g and 51h.

In addition, according to the movement of the moving member 51 to the left and right, the positional relationship in the left and right direction between the locking member 52 and the retracting member 61 changes.

[1-3. Operation of tablet mounting part]
The operation of the tablet mounting unit 30 will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating the positional relationship of the main components of the tablet mounting unit 30 when the tablet computer 1 is not mounted. In a state where the tablet computer 1 is not attached to the tablet attachment unit 30, the spring member 51e is pulled rightward by the first urging member 71, so that the moving member 51 is moved to the right side. At this time, the first engaging protrusion 51a and the second engaging protrusion 51b are projected outward (to the right) from the first protrusion accommodating part 31a and the second protrusion accommodating part 31b. That is, the first engagement protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51b are located at the engagement position. 6 is an enlarged view of a portion indicated by an arrow B in FIG. Since the in / out member 61 is urged upward by the second urging member 62, it is in a state of protruding upward from the upper surface 31 f of the upper case 31 of the tablet mounting portion 30.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating the positional relationship of the main components of the tablet mounting unit 30 when the tablet computer 1 is mounted. In a state where the tablet computer 1 is mounted on the tablet mounting unit 30, the moving member 51 is moved to the right side by pulling the spring hooking portion 51 e to the right by the first biasing member 71. At this time, the first engaging protrusion 51a and the second engaging protrusion 51b protrude outward (to the right) from the first protrusion accommodating part 31a and the second protrusion accommodating part 31b, and the first engaging concave part 10a and the second engaging recess 10b are fitted. That is, the first engagement protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51b are located at the engagement position. The intruding member 61 is retracted downward by being pressed by the side portion of the tablet computer 1.

  In this state, the vertical wall portion 51 d of the moving member 51 approaches (contacts) the side surface portion 30 w of the tablet mounting portion 30. And the lock hole 51m of the vertical wall part 51d of the moving member 51 and the side part 30w of the tablet mounting part 30 adjoin. Then, the lock protrusions 201 of the Kensington lock 200 are inserted into both of the lock holes 30m and 51m, and the lock protrusions 201 are rotated around the cylinder axis, for example, so that they can be locked together. Therefore, when the locking protrusion 201 comes into contact with the vertical wall 51d of the moving member 51, the movement of the vertical wall 51d in the left direction (disengagement direction) is restricted. Therefore, it becomes impossible to slide the operation member 41 to the left side, and the first engagement protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51b, and the first engagement recess 10a and the second engagement recess 10b. The mating cannot be released. Therefore, the tablet computer 1 cannot be removed from the tablet mounting unit 30.

  FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating the positional relationship of the main components of the tablet mounting unit 30 when the operation member 41 is slid to release the engagement. If the operation member 41 is slid to the left when the tablet computer 1 is attached and is not locked by the Kensington lock 200, the moving member 51 is engaged in the left direction. Move to the release position. At this time, when the locking portion 52 a of the locking member 52 contacts the extending portion 61 a of the retracting member 61, the locking portion 52 a moves to the left while being bent below the extending portion 61 a of the retracting member 61. Then, when the locking portion 52a moves to the left side of the extending portion 61a of the retracting member 61, the locking portion 52a side moves upward due to the elasticity of the locking member 52. As a result, the locking portion 52a is moved upward and downward. It contacts and is locked to the left side of the extending portion 61a. At this time, the moving member 51 is pulled in the right direction by the first biasing member 71, but cannot move in the right direction because the locking portion 52 a is in contact with the extending portion 61 a of the retracting member 61. . Therefore, the first engagement protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51b are maintained at the disengagement position. Therefore, the user can remove the tablet computer 1 with the one hand or the other hand without continuously holding the operation member 41 with one hand.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining the positional relationship of the main components of the tablet mounting unit 30 when the tablet computer 1 is mounted. When the tablet computer 1 is mounted when the tablet computer 1 is not mounted on the tablet mounting unit 30 (in the state of FIG. 5 described above), the tablet computer 1 is lowered from above the tablet mounting unit 30. Go. And when each lower wall part of the 1st engagement crevice 10a and the 2nd engagement crevice 10b of tablet type computer 1 contacts the 1st engagement projection 51a and the 2nd engagement projection 51b, Since the upper side 51ax of the first engagement protrusion 51a and the upper side 51bx of the second engagement protrusion 51b are inclined downward to the right, the first engagement protrusion 51a is moved as the tablet computer 1 is moved downward. The second engagement protrusion 51b is pushed to the left by the lower wall portion 10c of the first engagement recess 10a and the lower wall portion 10d of the second engagement recess 10b and moves to the left. When the tablet computer 1 is further moved downward, the first engagement protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51b pass through the tips (right ends) of the first engagement protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51a. The engagement protrusion 51b fits into the first engagement recess 10a and the second engagement recess 10b. As a result, the state described in FIG. 7 is obtained.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the shapes of the first engaging protrusion 51a and the second engaging protrusion 51b. In the present embodiment, the length L2 of the second engagement protrusion 51b is set to be a predetermined amount smaller than the length L1 of the first engagement protrusion 51a. This is due to the following reason.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the reason why the lengths of the first engagement protrusions 51a and the second engagement protrusions 51b are different. When the tablet computer 1 is removed from the state in which the operation member 41 is moved to the left as described in FIG. 8, the retracting member 61 is urged by the second urging member 62. The left end side is lifted more than the right end side.

  Note that the contact between the locking portion 52a of the locking member 52 and the extending portion 61a of the retracting member 61 is maintained until the left end side of the tablet computer 1 is lifted by a certain amount or more. As shown in FIG. 11, this fixed amount is until the tip of the first engagement protrusion 51a moves to the side of the tip of the lower wall portion 10c of the first engagement recess 10a.

  When the left end side of the tablet computer 1 is further lifted, the contact between the locking portion 52a of the locking member 52 and the extending portion 61a of the retracting member 61 is released as shown in FIG. Therefore, the moving member 51 starts to move to the right side (disengagement position side) by the pulling force of the first biasing member 71. However, at this time, the tip of the first engagement protrusion 51a comes into contact with the tip of the lower wall portion 10c of the first engagement recess 10a. Therefore, the moving member 51 does not move to the disengagement position at a stretch.

  When the left end side of the tablet computer 1 is lifted as described above, the right end portion side of the tablet computer 1 is hardly lifted yet. Therefore, the disengagement timing of the second engagement protrusion 51b from the second engagement recess 10b is delayed from the disengagement timing of the first engagement protrusion 51a from the first engagement recess 10a. More specifically, when the tip of the first engagement protrusion 51a is in contact with the tip of the lower wall portion 10c of the first engagement recess 10a, the second engagement protrusion 51b is still in the second state. It is located above the lower wall portion 10d of the engagement recess 10b and is moved to the right by the amount of movement of the first engagement protrusion 51a (moving member 51) to the right. Therefore, when the second engagement protrusion 51b is detached from the second engagement recess 10b to the outside, depending on how the tablet computer 1 is lifted, the distal end side of the second engagement protrusion 51b is the second engagement protrusion. There is a possibility of being caught by the lower wall portion 10d of the joint recess 10b. In order to cope with this, in the present embodiment, the length of the second engagement projection 51b is set to the first engagement amount by the amount of movement of the second engagement projection 51b to the right side due to the above-described delay of separation. It is shorter than the length of the mating protrusion 51a. As a result, the distal end side of the second engagement projection 51b is not easily caught by the lower wall portion 10d of the second engagement recess 10b, and the second engagement projection 51b is easily detached from the second engagement recess 10b. . Therefore, the detachability of the tablet computer 1 can be improved.

  Thereafter, the tablet computer 1 is further lifted so that the tips of the first engagement protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51b are the lower wall portions of the first engagement recess 10a and the second engagement recess 10b, respectively. When it moves below 10c, 10d, the inclined upper sides 51ax, 51bx of the first engaging protrusion 51a and the second engaging protrusion 51b start to contact the tips of the lower wall portions 10c, 10d. While the tablet computer 1 is lifted upward during this contact, the first engaging protrusion 51a and the second engaging protrusion 51b are gradually moved to the right side by the pulling force of the first urging member 71. Moving. When the tablet computer 1 is lifted until the upper sides 51ax, 51bx of the first engaging protrusion 51a and the second engaging protrusion 51b do not contact the lower wall portions 10c, 10d, the first engaging protrusion 51a and the second engagement protrusion 51b move to the disengagement position, and the state shown in FIG. 5 is obtained.
