    Abstract: PURPOSE:To secure the necessary inclination of a keyboard by fitting a recessed part of a foot member to end parts of recessed part of a bottom part when a keyboard slides over a receiving surface containing the curved surface of the tip part of the foot member formed at the bottom part and turns up to the mounting surface of an electronic equipment. CONSTITUTION:The foot members 12A and 12B are held in parallel to a keyboard 10 and the recessed parts 24A and 24B of the members 12A and 12B are fitted with the end parts 34A and 34B of a recessed part of a bottom part 14. Thus the first tilt angle of the keyboard 10 is set. Then the members 12A and 12B are turned by 90 deg. and the second tilt angle of the keyboard 10 is set. Thus the necessary inclination of the keyboard 10 is secured when the keyboard 10 turns up to the mounting surface of an electronic equipment from the upright state of the keyboard 10.

    Abstract: Electronic apparatus (2) with a movable keyboard (10), in which the keyboard can be mounted in position in a case (8) for the apparatus in such a manner that the surface of the keyboard on which the keys are mounted faces towards the inside of the case, comprises a pair of leg members (12A,12B), one of which is provided on one side of the keyboard and the other of which is provided on the other side of the keyboard and a bottom portion (14) formed in the case. The apparatus is characterised in that each of the leg members has an end (22A,22B) forming a curved surface and a recess (24A,24B) formed continuously with the curved surface, and a pair of recesses (18A, 18B) are formed one at each side of the bottom portion, each of which has a receiving surface (32A, 32B) on which the curved surface of the end of a respective one of the leg members can slide and rotate, and a projection (34A, 34B) capable of fitting into the recess in the leg member. With such an arrangement, when the keyboard is pivoted from its position within the case to a surface (50) on which the electronic apparatus is positioned, about a predetermined point (100) of each leg member as a fulcrum by sliding and rotating the curved surface of the end of each leg member on the receiving surface formed on the corresponding recess formed in the bottom portion, the recess in each leg member is fitted into the corresponding projection in the bottom portion to provide a predetermined inclination for said keyboard relative to said surface.
