发明名称 Tilt panel apparatus and electronic device
摘要 A tilt panel apparatus includes a tilt panel capable of pivoting between a first orientation and a second orientation, and an apparatus main body that supports the tilt panel in a pivotable state. The tilt panel has an external housing surface around the pivot center of the tilt panel, the external housing surface being exposed on the outer side of an apparatus when the tilt panel is in the first orientation and entering into a gap formed between the tilt panel and the apparatus main body as the tilt panel pivots from the first orientation toward the second orientation; and a stepped portion is formed in the apparatus main body adjacent to an edge portion that forms the opening of the gap, the stepped portion being a step higher than the edge portion.

主权项 1. A tilt panel apparatus comprising: a tilt panel capable of pivoting between a first orientation and a second orientation, the tilt panel including an external housing having an external housing surface, wherein the tilt panel is in a stored state in the first orientation and in a tilted state in the second orientation, wherein the external housing includes an outer case composed with an operational panel surface and an inner case on an opposite side of the outer case, wherein the external housing surface has a corner formed by both a portion of the inner case and the outer case; and an apparatus main body that supports the tilt panel in a pivotable state and such that the tilt panel rotates around a pivot center located in an interior of the tilt panel, wherein a gap is formed between a frame of the apparatus main body and the inner case near the corner, wherein an upper area formed by the frame includes a flat portion, and the external housing surface of the tilt panel extends in an upper direction from the flat portion when the tilt panel is in the stored state in the first orientation, with the corner disposed above the gap, wherein the external housing of the tilt panel, including the external housing surface of the tilt panel and the corner, enters the gap when the tilt panel pivots to the second orientation wherein the inner case has an upper end and wherein the external housing surface extends in an upper direction from the flat portion such that the upper end is outside of the gap in the first orientation and such that the upper end enters the gap when the tilt panel pivots to the second orientation.
