Abstract
A coupled structure capable of keeping the coupled state between coupled members without degrading the appearance, and an electronic device including such a coupled structure are disclosed. A coupled structure includes a keyboard unit coupled with a main body chassis. The coupled structure includes a hook mechanism which engages the keyboard unit with the main body chassis when the keyboard unit moves in one direction relative to the main body chassis, a locking part formed at the main body chassis, and an elastic part formed at the keyboard unit, and the elastic part biases the keyboard unit engaged with main body chassis in the one direction relative to the main body chassis when the locking part locks the elastic part.

A coupled structure including a first member coupled to a second member, comprising:
- a hook mechanism configured to engage the first member with the second member when the first member moves in one direction relative to the second member;
- a locking part at the second member;
- and
- an elastic part at the first member, the elastic part configured to bias the first member engaged with the second member in the one direction relative to the second member when the locking part locks the elastic part.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a coupled structure including a first member coupled to a second member, comprising:
- a hook mechanism configured to engage the first member with the second member when the first member moves in one direction relative to the second member;
- a locking part at the second member;
- and
- an elastic part at the first member, the elastic part configured to bias the first member engaged with the second member in the one direction relative to the second member when the locking part locks the elastic part;
- wherein
- the first member is a keyboard unit, and
- the second member is a chassis having an upper face on which the keyboard unit is mounted.
