Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a display module 3 , a frame-like housing member 2 , a temporary holding member 6 , and a fixing member 4 . The frame-like housing member 2 has side wall sections 2 a - 1 and 2 a - 2 opposing each other. The temporary holding member 6 is assembled to the frame-like housing member 2 by being engaged and aligned with the side wall section 2 a - 2 and by being engaged with and fixed to the side wall section 2 a - 1 . The fixing member 4 is assembled to the frame-like housing member 2 by being engaged and aligned with the side wall section 2 a - 1 and by being engaged with and fixed to the side wall section 2 a - 2.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing object;
a housing section which has at least one surface being an opening and which houses the housing object in a space enclosed by side walls of the opening;
a first member which is assembled to the housing section so as to cover the housing object; and
a second member which is assembled to the housing section so as to cover the first member, wherein
the housing section has first and second side wall sections opposing each other, a portion of the first member being engaged and aligned with the second side wall section, and the first member being assembled to the housing section by turning, with using the portion of the first member that is engaged and aligned with the second side wall section as a fulcrum, a side of the first member to be engaged with and fixed to the first side wall section toward the housing section,
the second member being assembled to the housing section by being engaged and aligned with the first side wall section, and by being engaged with and fixed to the second side wall section so as to prevent disengagement of the engagement and fixing of the first member;
wherein the first member is engaged and aligned with the second side wall section without snap-fitting, and is engaged and fixed to the first side wall section with snap-fitting, and
the second member is engaged and aligned with the first side wall section without snap-fitting, and is engaged and fixed to the second side wall section with snap-fitting.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first member includes an urging member that urges the housing object.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second member is in pressure contact with a part of: the first member on a side where the first member is engaged with and fixed to the housing section; and the first member.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second member is assembled to the housing section by being turned using, as a fulcrum, a portion of the second member that is engaged and aligned with the first side wall section, while the side to be engaged and fixed is oriented toward the housing section.

5. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing object;
a housing section which has at least one surface being an opening and which houses the housing object in a space enclosed by side walls of the opening;
a first member which is assembled to the housing section so as to cover the housing object; and
a second member which is assembled to the housing section so as to cover the first member, wherein
the housing section has first and second side wall sections opposing each other, a portion of the first member being engaged and aligned with the second side wall section, and the first member being assembled to the housing section by turning, with using the portion of the first member that is engaged and aligned with the second side wall section as a fulcrum, a side of the first member to be engaged with and fixed to the first side wall section toward the housing section,
the second member being assembled to the housing section by being engaged and aligned with the first side wall section, and by being engaged with and fixed to the second side wall section so as to prevent disengagement of the engagement and fixing of the first member;
wherein the second member is engaged and aligned with the first side wall section and engaged with and fixed to the second side wall section by sliding the second member in a direction from the first side wall section to the second side wall section.
