Electronic device and information reproducing system

Abstract

The present invention relates to an electronic device in which wire rods connected to an electronic circuit are led to the outside through an opening of a housing and the lead-out direction of the covering member can be changed by pivoting the pivoting unit provided in the covering member containing the wire rods; and an information reproduction system provided with the electronic device. An electronic device according to the present invention comprises: a cabinet 50 containing an electronic circuit; a covering member containing wire rods connected to the electronic circuit and led to the outside through an opening of the cabinet 50; pivoting convex portion provided in one of the covering member and the cabinet 50; and pivoting concave portion which is provided in the other of the covering member and the cabinet 50 and supports the pivoting convex portions, wherein the covering member is pivotally supported with respect to the cabinet 50. According to the electronic device of the present invention, a pivot-supporting unit 160 is provided in the connection cable 4, whereby pivoting the connection cable 4 through the pivoting unit allows the lead-out direction of the connection cable 4 from an opening 168 of the cabinet 50 to the outside to be selectively changed between a direction in which the connection cable 4 is led downward from the lower surface of the cabinet 50 and a direction sideways intersecting therewith. Accordingly, the position of the connection cable 4 may be changed to an arbitrary one corresponding to a state of use regarding such electronic devices, and the connection cable 4 may not become an obstacle.
