Abstract

There is provided an electronic device which includes a first and second casings, a second casing including a recess disposed on a surface, opposite to the first casing, of the second casing, and a joint for connecting the first casing to the second casing so that the first casing and the second casing are movable relative to each other. The joint includes a movable member which is fixed to the first casing and includes two arms, a pair of rails which is fixed to the second casing, each of the pair of rails receiving a corresponding one of the two arms so that the two arms are slidable relative to the pair of the rails, and a protrusion protruding from the movable member. The recess is disposed between the pair of rails and the recess receives the protrusion and regulates movement of the protrusion.
