Abstract
An electronic apparatus that prevents a cable included in a coupler accommodated in an accommodating part from being caught between a battery lid and an apparatus body, with a simple construction. The electronic apparatus includes an accommodating part for accommodating a coupler, a battery lid which opens and closes an opening of the accommodating part, and a lock member including a pawl portion which restricts the coupler from being discharged from the accommodating part when the coupler has been accommodated therein. A portion defining the opening of the battery accommodating part is formed with a cutout for routing out the cable. When the coupler is accommodated and the cable has been arranged in the cutout, the pawl portion covers at least part of the cable.
Claims3
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a coupler including a coupler body and a cable, which extends out of the coupler body;
- an accommodating unit configured to accommodate the coupler;
- and
- an interlock member configured to interlock with the coupler accommodated in the accommodating unit,
- wherein the coupler has a recessed portion which is capable of receiving the cable,
- wherein a protrusion is provided on an inner wall of the recessed portion, and
- wherein in a case where the cable is received within the recessed portion and the coupler is accommodated in the accommodating unit, the interlock member interlocks with the coupler body and prevents the cable from coming out from the recessed portion, and a tip portion of the interlock member is positioned above the recessed portion, and is positioned such that a length of the tip portion of the interlock member protruding from the inner wall is longer than a length of the protrusion protruding from the inner wall.
