Abstract: A connector is capable of preventing an adverse effect due to the extra length of a flat cable. The connector includes: a main body to which a terminal of the flat cable having notches formed on both sides can be connected; a slider having engaging portions engageable with the notches, respectively, and configured to reciprocate relative to the main body along an insertion direction of the flat cable; and an actuator which sandwiches and fixes the flat cable in cooperation with the main body.

Abstract: A docking station is provided. The docking station has an engagement member, a coupling detector, a connector, an advancing and retracting mechanism, and a controller. The engagement member can be inserted into an engagement hole of a portable information device. The coupling detector detects whether or not the engagement member has been engaged with the engagement hole. The connector can be connected to a connection terminal provided in a side surface of the portable information device. The advancing and retracting mechanism is operated by the driving force of a motor to advance and retract the connector to connect and separate the connector to/from the connection terminal. The controller operates the advancing and retracting mechanism when it is detected that the portable information device is coupled with the docking station to advance the connector to connect the connector to the connection terminal.

Abstract: A support for an electronic device is able to prevent a chassis from wobbling without coming off from the chassis. The support is attached to an opening of the chassis of the electronic device. The support includes a base portion positioned on an exterior surface side of the chassis so as to overlap the opening, a retaining portion that is positioned on an inner surface side of the chassis and provided so that the opening is able to retain the retaining portion with or without interposing a separate member, a connecting portion that connects the base portion and the retaining portion with each other and is inserted through the opening, and an elastic protruding portion provided on the base portion and structures a contact point with the exterior surface of the chassis. The base portion is structured so as to support the chassis through the elastic protruding portion.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus chassis includes a first chassis member, a second chassis member, and screws that fasten the chassis members to each other. In addition, the electronic apparatus chassis includes an engagement piece and a receiving portion that connect each of edge portions of the first chassis member to the second chassis member. In the electronic apparatus chassis, the first chassis member and the second chassis member are configured such that the relative positions thereof are not substantially changed when the screw is loosened and removed from the screw hole, and a relative movement thereof is provided in a direction away from each other when the screw is loosened and removed from the screw hole.
