When separated from the upper surface 12a, it communicates with the gap S1 between the front end portion 31c and the upper surface 12a.

For example, when removing the keyboard cover 31 having the above configuration for replacing the keyboard 12, the operator presses the rear end 31d of the keyboard cover 31 from the Z1 direction with a finger, thereby pressing the front end 31c of the keyboard cover 31. A gap S1 is created between the keyboard 12 and the upper surface 12a of the keyboard 12. Next, the operator inserts a finger other than the above-mentioned finger into the gap S1 and pushes up the keyboard cover 31 in the Z21 direction to disengage the hooking portion 31g and the hooking portion 15fd. As a result, the keyboard cover 31 can be removed from the upper cover 14. At this time, the operator can further insert a finger into the recess 15fg.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the electronic device 1 includes the keyboard 12, the upper cover 14 (support member), the fixing portion 42 (first fixing portion), the keyboard cover 31, and the fixing portion 51 (the first fixing portion). 2 fixed portion) and. The keyboard 12 has an upper surface extending from a rear end portion 12d (first end portion), a front end portion 12c (second end portion) opposite to the rear end portion 12d, and a rear end portion 12d and a front end portion 12c. 12a (first surface), the lower surface 12b (second surface) opposite the upper surface 12a, a plurality of keys 12g arranged on the upper surface 12a, and the X2 direction (from the front end 12c to the rear end 12d). It has a fixed portion 12h protruding from the rear end portion 12d in the first direction). The upper cover 14 has an accommodating portion 15 for accommodating the keyboard 12 with the keys 12g exposed, and a receiving portion 15f located in the X2 direction of the rear end portion 12d. The fixing portion 42 detachably fixes the fixed portion 12h to the upper cover 14. The keyboard cover 31 has a rear end portion 31d in the X2 direction and a front end portion 31c opposite to the rear end portion 31d, which is overlapped with the upper surface 12a at the rear end portion 12d, and Z1 from the lower surface 12b toward the upper surface 12a. It is located in the Z1 direction of the receiving portion 15f with the fixed portion 12h and the fixed portion 42 covered from the direction (second direction). The fixed portion 51 has a hook portion 31 g (first hook portion) provided on the keyboard cover 31 and a hook portion 15 fd (second hook portion) provided on the receiving portion 15 f, and has a hook portion 31 g. The keyboard cover 31 is detachably fixed to the receiving portion 15f by being hooked with the hooking portion 15fd. The front end 31c (fourth end) of the keyboard cover 31 is pressed against the rear end 31d (third end) of the keyboard cover 31 from the Z1 direction between the receiving portion 15f and the keyboard cover 31. A recess 31j (first space) that allows elastic deformation of the keyboard cover 31 that is separated from the upper surface 12a of the 12 is provided.

According to such a configuration, for example, the operator presses the rear end portion 31d of the keyboard cover 31 from the Z1 direction with a finger, thereby between the front end portion 31c of the keyboard cover 31 and the upper surface 12a of the keyboard 12. The gap S1 can be created relatively easily. The operator can insert a finger other than the above-mentioned finger into the gap S1 and remove the keyboard cover 31 from the upper cover 14. Therefore, the keyboard cover 31 can be easily removed from the upper cover 14. Further, according to the above configuration, for example, as compared with the case where the upper surface 12a of the keyboard 12 is provided with a recess exposed to the outside in order to create a gap between the front end portion 31c of the keyboard cover 31 and the upper surface 12a of the keyboard 12. Therefore, the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device 1 is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the accommodating portion 15 is positioned in the X1 direction with respect to the recess 31j and in the Z2 direction of the rear end portion 12d, and the rear end portion 12d is pressed against the rear end portion 12d from the Z1 direction. A hole 15g different from the recess 31j is provided, which allows elastic deformation in the Z2 direction.

According to such a configuration, for example, the gap S1 between the front end portion 31c of the keyboard cover 31 and the upper surface 12a of the keyboard 12 can be easily increased.

Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the keyboard cover 31 has a lower surface 31b (third surface) facing the receiving portion 15f, and the first space is a recess 31j provided on the lower surface 31b.

According to such a configuration, it is not necessary to provide the upper cover 14 with a configuration for forming the first space.

Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the rear end portion 12d extends in the Y1 direction (third direction) intersecting the X2 direction and the Z1 direction, and a plurality of fixing portions 51 are provided at intervals in the Y1 direction. The recess 31j is located between two adjacent fixing portions 51.

According to such a configuration, for example, the keyboard cover 31 is more likely to be elastically deformed than when the recess 31j is located closer to one of the two adjacent fixing portions 51.

Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the recess 31j is provided in the central portion of the keyboard cover 31 in the Y1 direction (third direction).

According to such a configuration, for example, if it is informed that the recess 31j is provided in the central portion of the keyboard cover 31, the recess 31j is provided in one of the left and right ends of the keyboard cover 31. The concave portion 31j is easy for the operator to understand.

Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the receiving portion 15f is located between the recess 31j and the rear end portion 12d, and the front end portion 31c of the keyboard cover 31 is pressed by pressing the rear end portion 31d of the keyboard cover 31 from the Z1 direction. Is provided with a recess 15fg (another space) separate from the recess 31j, which communicates with the gap S1 between the front end 31c and the top 12a when the keyboard 12 is separated from the top surface 12a.

According to such a configuration, the operator can further insert a finger from the recess 31j into another recess 15fg, so that the keyboard cover 31 can be easily removed from the upper cover 14.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the first space is provided on the keyboard cover is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. The first space may be provided in the receiving portion. In this case, the first space may be a recess or a hole.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been exemplified above, the above-described embodiment is an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The above-described embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, combinations, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. In addition, specifications such as each configuration and shape (structure, type, direction, type, size, length, width, thickness, height, number, arrangement, position, material, etc.) are changed as appropriate. Can be carried out.
