Abstract

An electronic device comprises an enclosure, an air blower disposed within the enclosure, an air blower mounting member for mounting the air blower within the enclosure, and a card holder that is disposed using part of the air blower mounting member so as to overlap with the air blower mounting member in the thickness direction and that holds a card.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
an enclosure;
an air blower disposed within the enclosure;
an air blower mounting member for mounting the air blower within the enclosure;

a card holder that is disposed using a part of the air blower mounting member so as to overlap with the air blower mounting member in a thickness direction and that holds a card; and an opening in the enclosure configured such that the card is inserted there through;
further comprising a display, and

a groove portion formed in the card holder in such a manner that a bezel of the display is fitted in the groove portion in the thickness direction.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the card holder holds the card in such a manner that the card partially overlaps with the air blower in the thickness direction.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the air blower is a centrifugal air blower that sucks in air through at least one air inlet formed in a side plate normal to a rotation axis of rotary vanes and that blows air in a centrifugal direction of the rotary vanes.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the at least one air inlet comprises a plurality of air inlets, and
the card holder holds the card in such a manner that at least a part of the plurality of air inlets does not overlap with the card in the thickness direction.

5. The electronic device according to claim 3 , further comprising
a heat radiation member cooled by air blown from the air blower, and
a duct portion that is provided in the air blower mounting member and that disperses air blown from the air blower in a longitudinal direction of the heat radiation member.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a card supporting member that is provided on the air blower mounting member and that supports the card in such a manner that the card held in the card holder is not in contact with the air blower.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the card supporting member is an elongated protrusion formed on the air blower mounting member along a direction of insertion of the card into the card holder.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a guide wall that is provided on at least one of the air blower mounting member and the card holder and that faces a side edge of the card inserted into the card holder and guides the insertion of the card.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a terminal member that has a terminal in contact with the card held in the card holder and that is attached to the air blower mounting member.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , further comprising a contact avoidance hole that is formed in the card holder and that avoids contact of the terminal with the card holder when the card is not held in the card holder.

11. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a battery disposed within the enclosure,
wherein the card is disposed so as not to overlap with the battery in the thickness direction.
