Can also be used so as to rotate around the first horizontal axis 4 to the open posture C. In this case, it is preferable that the user grips the handle 9 and rotates the mounting table 10.

  When the maintenance or the like is completed, the upper cover 3 is rotated around the first horizontal axis 4 to change from the open posture C to the closed posture D. Further, the mounting table 10 is rotated around the second horizontal axis member 8 to switch from the input device non-use posture B to the input device use posture A. In the input device use posture A, the buffer member 18 comes into contact with the upper surface 14 of the upper cover 3 from above. At this time, the grip 9 slides from the user's hand due to the so-called hand slipping, and the mounting table 10 is input. In the middle of switching to the device use posture A, it is conceivable that the mounting table 10 falls and becomes the input device use posture A.

  However, since the buffer member 18 is provided on the back surface of the mounting table 10, the shock to the personal computer 5 is buffered by the buffer member 18, and the electronic components of the personal computer 5 can be effectively prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, since the mounting table 10 is arranged so that there is a gap 17 on the upper surface 14 of the upper cover 3 by the hanging plate portion 20, the mounting table 10 does not directly contact the upper surface 14. Further, even if the mounting table 10 is bent by an impact, the bending is allowed (absorbed) by the gap 17, so that damage to the electronic components of the personal computer 5 can be more reliably prevented.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the embodiment, the shock absorber 18 is provided. However, when the shock is generated when the rigidity of the mounting table 10 is adjusted and the mounting table 10 is set to the input device use posture A, the mounting table 10 is provided. It is also possible to absorb the impact by bending depending on the elasticity (rigidity). At this time, the mounting table 10 is configured to be allowed to be bent by the gap 17.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the first horizontal axis and the second horizontal axis are provided separately, and the upper cover and the mounting table can be opened and closed separately, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to configure such that the upper cover and the mounting table are integrally opened and closed in conjunction with each other.
