Abstract: An electronic device includes a battery and a housing whose battery compartment has a main surface and a pair of side surfaces. The main surface is configured to face the bottom surface of the battery and the side surfaces are configured to face the respective side surfaces of the battery. Each of the side surfaces has a guide rail for the battery. Each of the guide rails has a first end at a primary end of the housing and a second end. Each of the guide rails is inclined such that the distance between the first end of the guide rail and the main surface of the battery compartment is greater than the distance at the second end.

Abstract: An electronic device of the present disclosure includes a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge part for connecting the first housing and the second housing. The first housing has a first primary surface at which an input unit is disposed, and a second primary surface opposite to the first primary surface. The second housing has a third primary surface provided with a display unit, and a fourth primary surface opposite to the third primary surface. The hinge part connects the first and second housings so that an angle formed by the first and third primary surfaces is capable of 360 degrees of change. The electronic device has a first configuration in which the first and third primary surfaces face each other to form an angle of substantially 0 degrees, and a second configuration in which the second and fourth primary surfaces face each other and the first and third primary surfaces are substantially parallel. At least one of the housings is shaped so that in the second configuration, a first clearance formed between the second and fourth primary surfaces increases in size in a substantially linear manner in a direction away from the hinge parts.
