## Abstract

The electronic apparatus includes: a housing having an opening in which a unit is inserted; a wiring member that extends under the inserted unit in the direction across insertion direction of the unit; and a sheet that extends under and over the wiring member so as to wrap the wiring member by being folded at a portion of the sheet close to the opening.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing having an opening in which a unit is inserted;
a flat cable that has two sides and extends under the inserted unit in a width direction across an insertion direction of the unit; and
a sheet that extends on both sides of the flat cable so as to wrap the flat cable by being folded at a portion of the sheet close to the opening.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the flat cable is a flexible wiring board in which a plurality of wires are flatly aligned.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a portion of the sheet away from the opening is adhered onto the housing or a member fixed to the housing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising the inserted unit having two sides and circuit boards mounted with an electric circuit that are arranged at both sides of the inserted unit in the width direction,
wherein the sheet extends under one of the circuit boards.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the unit is a disk drive unit that accesses a disk-shape storage medium detachably loaded therein.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
a main unit that serves for data processing and has a keyboard at a top surface thereof, the keyboard having aligned keys for input operation; and
a display unit that has a display screen for displaying an image and is connected via a hinge to the main unit at a back of the main unit so as to be openable and closable relative to the main unit,
wherein the opening is formed in one side surface of the main unit.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the sheet is an insulation sheet.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the sheet comprises a conductive layer and an insulation layer, and at least a surface of the sheet that contacts the flat cable is insulative.

### Claim 9

An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing having an opening in which a unit is inserted;
a wiring member that extends under the inserted unit in a direction across an insertion direction of the unit;
a sheet that extends under and over the wiring member so as to wrap the wiring member by being folded at a portion of the sheet close to the opening; and
circuit boards mounted with an electric circuit that are arranged at both sides of the inserted unit in width direction across the insertion direction of the unit,
wherein the sheet is formed by extending a sheet spread under one of the circuit boards arranged in one of the sides of the inserted unit.

### Claim 10

An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing having an opening in which a unit is inserted;
a wiring member that extends under the inserted unit in a direction across an insertion direction of the unit;
a sheet that extends under and over the wiring member so as to wrap the wiring member by being folded at a portion of the sheet close to the opening;
a main unit that serves for data processing and has a keyboard at a top surface thereof, the keyboard having aligned keys for input operation; and
a display unit that has a display screen for displaying an image and is connected via a hinge to the main unit at a back of the main unit so as to be openable and closable relative to the main unit,
wherein the opening is formed in one side surface of the main unit.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)
