Electronic apparatus and cable protecting unit

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus body;
• an opening-closing member provided displaceably to an opened state in which the opening-closing member is opened relative to the apparatus body and a closed state in which the opening-closing member is closed relative to the apparatus body;
• a cable provided between the apparatus body and the opening-closing member;
• and
• a cable protecting unit configured to protect the cable, wherein
• the cable protecting unit includes
• a base-portion member, and
• a movable member provided slidably relative to the base-portion member,
• when the opening-closing member is displaced from the closed state to the opened state, the movable member slides relative to the base-portion member to increase a length by which the movable member extends from the base-portion member,
• the apparatus body includes:
• a transport unit configured to transport a medium along a transport path, and
• a recording unit configured to perform recording on the medium transported by the transport unit, and
• the opening-closing member is configured to be displaced to the opened state in which the transport path is exposed to an outside and the closed state in which the transport path is closed.

A cable protecting unit configured to protect a cable provided between an apparatus body and an opening-closing member configured to be displaced to an opened state in which the opening-closing member is opened relative to the apparatus body and a closed state in which the opening-closing member is closed relative to the apparatus body, the cable protecting unit comprising:

• a base-portion member;
• and
• a movable member provided slidably relative to the base-portion member, wherein
• when the opening-closing member is displaced from the closed state to the opened state, the movable member slides relative to the base-portion member to increase a length by which the movable member extends from the base-portion member,
• the base-portion member is attached to the opening-closing member,
• the movable member includes a tip portion including a tip end attached to the apparatus body, and an extending section continuous with the tip portion,
• the movable member slides relative to the base-portion member to cause the extending section to move between an overlapping position at which the extending section is located within a contour of the base-portion member and an extending position at which the extending section extends from the base-portion member, and
• the movable member is a plate member having flexibility, and covers, with the tip portion and the extending section, a side of the cable exposed when the opening-closing member is in the opened state.
