Electronic device

An electronic device comprising:

• an operation section that is provided on a top surface or a side surface of a housing and on which input for controlling an operation of the electronic device is performed;
• a storage section that is provided in the housing and in which the operation section is stored;
• an angle adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an angle of the operation section with respect to the housing;
• a locking mechanism configured to lock the operation section at a position where the operation section is housed in the storage section;
• and
• a raising mechanism for raising the operation section to a predetermined angle when the locked state of the locking mechanism is released, wherein
• the locking mechanism is configured to enter a locked state in which the locking mechanism locks with the operation section when the operation section is housed in the storage section and to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state when a specific operation is performed on the operation section in the locked state,
• the angle adjustment mechanism includes
• a receiving member located in the operation section and
• a contacting member configured to hold the operation section at an arbitrary angle by contacting with a predetermined force against a receiving surface of the receiving member in a process of moving together with the receiving member pivoting to an angle larger than the predetermined angle raised by the raising mechanism of the operation section, and
• the receiving member includes a portion in which a contacting force of the contacting member against the receiving member becomes smaller than the predetermined force in a process in which the operation section is raised to the predetermined angle when the locked state by the locking mechanism is released.
