摘要

The chassis (10) has a housing (14) accommodating electronic components that generate heat. The housing has upper and lower parts (16, 18) movable from a small volume configuration to a large volume configuration by a preset force. A screen cover (12) occupies a closed storage position in which the cover covers the housing and an open utilization position. A mechanical device (26) is arranged between the cover and the housing to transmit the force from the cover to the housing when the cover is moved to the open position, so as to move the housing to the large volume configuration.
