Abstract:
In an information terminal apparatus with a camera having a rotating function, the object of the invention is to impart a predetermined torque to a camera so as to render the camera easily rotatable by the force of a finger in a desired direction and to continue its state of standstill when the rotation is stopped.An information terminal apparatus with a camera having a rotating function in accordance with the invention comprises: a camera unit including a cylindrical member 62 having a shaft portion 62C at one end thereof and for accommodating a camera therein, and an annular member 72 which is fitted over the shaft portion 62C; a main body portion 1 having a bearing portion 42 for holding the annular member 72 and for rotatably supporting the camera unit; and an elastic member 74 provided between the main body portion 1 and the cylindrical member 72, wherein the elastic member 74 is arranged to impart a direction-of-axis force in an axial direction of the camera unit while moving together with the rotation of the camera unit.
