Imformation processing device

摘要

An information processing device suitable for portable use includes a first member (4) (e.g., a cover having a display unit), a second member (2) (e.g., a body having a keyboard unit), a connecting member (6) for connecting the first and second members so that these members can be relatively displaced, and a switch mechanism provided in the second member. The second member (12) has an engaging portion (8A) (e.g., a hole), and the first member includes a hook member (28) to be engaged with the engaging portion (8A). The switch mechanism functions to switch on and off a signal in synchronism with movement of the hook member (28). Such a switch mechanism can prevent an improper switching operation.
