Abstract

PURPOSE:To disconnect devices electrically when the lap-top computer is carried even if the user forgets turning off the main power switch when carrying the lap-top computer and to prevent the internal battery from being wasted by providing a power source subswitch on the reverse surface of a main body. CONSTITUTION:When the main body is placed on a desk 10, the power source subswitch 6 is pressed. Then the switch 6 presses and turns on a microswitch 7 in the main body 1. Consequently, the ON state of the switch 7 is reported to a power source unit 11 including the internal battery through a signal line 8. Then when the main body 1 is lifted from the top surface of the desk 10, the switch 6 restores itself with the force of the spring 9. The switch 7 is therefore turned off, which is reported to the unit 11 through the signal line 8. When the lap-top computer is carried, the unit 11 feeds no electricity to the main body 1 regardless of whether the main power switch is ON or OFF and the battery is prevented from being wasted.
