## Abstract

A print device includes a housing, a lid body, a display device, and a mounting portion. An opening is formed in an upper portion of the housing. The lid body opens and closes the opening of the housing by a second end portion side of the lid body pivoting around a predetermined rotation axis provided at a first end portion of the lid body. The mounting portion is provided on an upper portion of the lid body when the opening is closed. The display device can be attached to and detached from the mounting portion along a predetermined attachment/detachment direction with respect to the lid body. The attachment/detachment direction is orthogonal to an extending direction of a tangent line. The tangent line is tangential to a circumferential direction of the rotation axis at a position of the second end portion of the lid body.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A print device comprising:
a housing having an opening formed in an upper portion thereof and internally housing a print portion and a control portion, the print portion printing on a print medium, and the control portion controlling driving of the print portion;
a lid body disposed on the upper portion of the housing, the lid body opening and closing the opening of the housing by a side of a second end portion of the lid body pivoting around a predetermined rotation axis provided at a first end portion of the lid body;
a display device displaying information related to printing controlled by the control portion; and
a mounting portion provided on an upper portion of the lid body when the opening of the housing is closed, the display device being attachable to and detachable from the mounting portion along a predetermined attachment/detachment direction with respect to the lid body, and the predetermined attachment/detachment direction being orthogonal to an extending direction of a tangent line, the tangent line being tangential to a circumferential direction of the predetermined rotation axis at a position of the second end portion of the lid body.

### Claim 2

A print device comprising:
a housing portion internally housing a print portion, the print portion printing on a print medium; and
a rotating member being configured to pivot around a predetermined rotation axis with respect to the housing portion, and being attachable to and detachable from the housing portion along an axial direction of the predetermined rotation axis,
wherein the rotating member is provided on an upper portion of the housing portion, the rotating member is configured to pivot a second end portion side of the rotating member around a second predetermined rotation axis provided at a first end portion of the rotating member, and the rotating member is capable of being attached to and detached from the housing portion along the second predetermined rotation axis by a member extending in the axial direction of the second predetermined rotation axis.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The print device according to claim 2, wherein the housing portion internally houses the print portion and a control portion controlling driving of the print portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The print device according to claim 2, wherein
one of the housing portion and the rotating member is provided with a groove portion, and
another of the housing portion and the rotating member is provided with a collar portion, the collar portion being configured to engage with the groove portion as the rotating member is being attached to and detached from the housing portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The print device according to claim 4, wherein
the collar portion is formed on the housing portion, and
the groove portion is formed on the rotating member.
