## Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: a hosing including a first facing wall portion and a second facing wall portion which face each other; a cable provided in the housing; and a restriction portion, provided between the first facing wall portion and the second facing wall portion, configured to restrict the first facing wall portion and the second facing wall portion to approach with each other and to retain the cable.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing including a first facing wall portion and a second facing wall portion which face each other;
a cable provided in the housing;
a cover portion disposed between the first facing wall portion and the second facing wall portion, a thickness direction of the cover portion aligning with a facing direction of the first facing wall portion and the second facing wall portion,
a pair of holding pieces extending from the cover portion toward the first facing wall portion, and being configured to hold a speaker; and
a support rib portion extending from the cover portion toward the second facing wall portion, and being configured to hold the cable,
wherein the pair of holding pieces contact the first facing wall portion, and the support rib portion contacts the second facing wall portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the support rib portion includes a hook portion to be hooked to the cable.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the hook portion is provided between the second facing wall portion and the speaker, the hook portion restricting the second facing wall portion to approach.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the hook portion includes a groove portion allowing the cable to pass.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the groove portion includes an opening facing toward the second facing wall portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the hook portion includes a pillar portion whose longitudinal direction is aligned with a facing direction of the first facing wall portion and the second facing wall portion.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 6, wherein a plurality of the pillar portions are spaced out from one another as the pillar portion.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the cable is disposed between a pair of adjacent pillar portions.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first facing wall portion and the second facing wall portion face each other in a thickness direction of the housing.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the housing includes a first cover and a second cover which form the housing in a state that the first cover and the second cover are joined together in a thickness direction of the housing,
the first cover includes the first facing wall portion, and
the second cover includes the second facing wall portion.

### Claim 11

A support rib portion provided to an electronic apparatus, the electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing including a first facing wall portion and a second facing wall portion which face each other;
a cable provided in the housing, and
a cover portion disposed between the first facing wall portion and the second facing wall portion, a thickness direction of the cover portion aligning with a facing direction of the first facing wall portion and the second facing wall portion,
wherein the support rib portion is provided between the cover portion and the second facing wall portion, restricts the cover portion and the second facing wall portion to come closer to each other, and retains the cable; and
a pair of holding pieces extending from the cover portion toward the first facing wall portion, and being configured to hold a speaker, the pair of holding pieces contacting the first facing wall portion, and the support rib portion contacting the second facing wall portion.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the support rib portion has a first support rib portion, a second first support rib portion and a third first support rib portion,
the first support rib portion and the second first support rib portion cross each other when viewed in a thickness direction of the housing,
the third support rib portion is respectively provided to the two end portions of the second support rib portion, and
the first support rib portion, the second first support rib portion and the third first support rib portion support the second facing wall portion with respect to the cover portion.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 12,
wherein the second support rib portion has a through-hole configured to be penetrated by the cable.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the support rib portion has pillar portions extended from the cover portion toward the second facing wall portion, the pillar portions contacting with the second facing wall portion.
