【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a synthetic resin leg, which has a pair of elastic claws 12 and a stopper rubber mounting hole 14 for mounting a stopper rubber 13 and a stand supporting hole for rotatably supporting a stand 15. Have 16. The elastic claw 12 has a spring property due to the characteristics and shape of the synthetic resin material used, and has a hook-shaped locking projection 12a facing outwards at the tip and a neck 12b below it. Reference numeral 17 denotes an outer casing as a supported member to which the legs 11 are attached, which is attached to the electronic device casing. Reference numeral 18 denotes a pair of leg mounting holes for attaching / detaching the elastic claws 12 of the leg 11, and includes a rectangular first mounting hole 18a, a second mounting hole 18b, and an intermediate hole 18c connecting these.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first mounting hole 18 a of the pair of leg mounting holes 18 is located at a central portion around the point 0 corresponding to the center of the distance between the pair of elastic claws of the leg 11. The elastic claw 12 has an inner edge having a radius r1 slightly smaller than half the distance between the elastic claws 12 and an outer edge having a radius D1 plus a dimension D1 slightly larger than the thickness of the locking projection 12a of the elastic claw 12. The second mounting hole 18b has an inner edge having a radius r1 and an outer edge having a radius D1 and a dimension D2 smaller than the dimension D1 and slightly larger than the thickness of the neck portion 12b of the elastic claw 12. It is formed at a position of 45 degrees from the first mounting hole 18a. The first mounting hole 18a and the second mounting hole 18b have a width W slightly larger than the width dimension of the elastic claw 12. The intermediate hole 18c connects the first mounting hole 18a and the second mounting hole 18b, and linearly connects the inner edge central portions of the respective mounting holes 18a and 18b to each other, and the inner edge of the elastic claw 12 and the neck portion 12b of the elastic claw 12. Has an arc-shaped outer edge for pressing inward in the radial direction to give a reaction force.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. In FIG. 1, the stopper rubber 13 is attached to the stopper rubber attaching hole 14 of the leg 11 to prevent slipping of the electronic device, and the tip of the stand 15 is inserted into the stand supporting hole 16 to set the angle when the electronic device is used. It is for adjustment. Next, the elastic claw 12 of the leg 11 is inserted into the first mounting hole 18a of the outer casing 17 and rotated leftward by 45 degrees to move the elastic claw 12 to the second mounting hole 18b. At this time, since the elastic claw 12 is pressed inward in the radial direction by the arc-shaped outer edge of the intermediate hole 18c to give a reaction force, when the elastic claw 12 moves to the second mounting hole 18b, the elastic claw 12 is returned by the returning force. While engaging with the second mounting hole 18b, the locking projection 12a of the elastic claw 12 is locked to the outer edge of the mounting hole 18b, and the movement of the elastic claw 12 in the rotation direction and the insertion direction is blocked. Therefore, even if the electronic device is moved on a desk or the like, the elastic claw 12 does not separate from the second mounting hole 18b.

When the leg 11 is removed from the outer casing 17, the leg 11b of the elastic claw 12 is moved over the corner of the second mounting hole 18b by rotating the leg 11 to the right by 45 degrees to the opposite side. Since it returns from the intermediate hole 18c to the first mounting hole 18a, it can be removed from the leg mounting hole 18 at this position.

When the legs 11 are fixed to the outer casing 17, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the stand 15 can be used while lying on the desk 19 as shown in FIG. 3 (b). The stand 15 can also be used in an upright position. As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the mounting hole 18 of the outer casing 17 for fixing the elastic claw 12 of the leg 11 is provided with the first mounting hole 18a into which the elastic claw 12 can be inserted and removed, and the elastic claw. A second mounting hole 18b for preventing the detachment of 12 and an intermediate hole 18c for connecting the first mounting hole 18a and the second mounting hole 18b and for applying a reaction force to the elastic claw 12 inward in the radial direction; Since the elastic claws 12 do not easily move when the legs 11 are mounted on the outer casing 17, unnecessary removal of the legs 11 can be prevented and the legs 11 can be easily removed from the outer casing 17. It can be removed.
