Electronic apparatus having switch operated by rotatable display-unit

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a base unit having an opening in an upper surface;
• a keyboard arranged on the upper surface of the base unit, said keyboard being located on a front side of the opening;
• a switch arranged inside the base unit and opposed to the opening;
• and
• a display unit supported by the base unit, said display unit being rotatable between a first position at which the display unit covers the upper surface of the base unit and a second position at which the display unit stands on a rear side of the keyboard, said display unit having a front surface which faces the upper surface of the base unit when the display unit is at the first position, and a projection portion provided for the front surface and becoming a lower end portion of the front surface when the display unit is rotated to the second position, said projection portion being inserted into the opening of the base unit and pushing the switch into an OFF state when the display unit is rotated to the first position.

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a base unit having an opening formed in an upper surface;
• a display unit incorporating a display device and supported by the base unit, said display unit being rotatable between a first position at which the display unit covers the upper surface of the base unit and a second position at which the display unit stands on a rear side of the keyboard, said display unit having a projection portion which is inserted into the opening of the base unit when the display unit is rotated to the first position;
• a switch arranged inside the base unit and switching the display device on or off, said switch having an operation element opposed to the opening, said operation element being pushed by the projection portion and switching off the display device when the display unit is rotated to the first position;
• and
• an elastically deformable press piece arranged at the opening of the base unit, said press piece has a first end fixed to the base unit and a free second end arranged between the operation element and the projection portion, said projection portion causing the second end of the press piece to push the operation element of the switch.
