Disclosed is a palm rest with a simple structure that can be stored in a lid of an electric device. A palm rest 10 is supported rotatable at a case assembly 14 within which a keyboard 34 is mounted. By rotating the palm rest 10 outward, an operator can rest his palms on it, thus facilitating key manipulation. When the palm rest 10 is positioned upright, it is retained within a lid 18, which covers the keyboard 34. In this case, the palm rest 10 does not project outward from the PC 12 and the PC 12 can therefore be stored without difficulty. Since a gap is defined between the palm rest 10 and the front wall of the case assembly 14 when the palm rest 10 is rotated forward, a user can slip his fingers through the defined gap and grasp the palm rest 10, which then can serve as a handle for carrying the PC 12.

A keyboard housing structure is disclosed that includes a keyboard housing section for housing a keyboard body and a cable housing section for housing a cable. The cable is connected at one end to the keyboard body which is movable in the cable housing section along a housing direction in a pull-out direction. The other end of the cable is moveable in the housing direction within the cable housing section when housing the keyboard body in the keyboard housing section. Further included is a cable side connector, which is provided on the other end of the cable. A storing section side connector is detachably connected to the cable side connector and is housed in the cable housing section in such a manner as to be movable along the housing direction and the pull-out direction. The cable side connector is latched by a latch when the store section side connector is at a predetermined position in the pull-out direction in the cable housing section.
