ABSTRACT:
A support member is incorporated in a first enclosure. A rotating member is supported on the support member for relative rotation around a first rotation axis. A second enclosure is coupled to the rotating member for relative rotation around a second rotation axis extending along a plane perpendicular to the first rotation axis. A hinge cap having a predetermined elasticity covers over the rotating member. A protrusion formed on the hinge cap is engaged with the rotating member based on the elasticity of the hinge cap. When the second enclosure is folded over the first enclosure, either the front or back surface of the second enclosure can be received on the front surface of the first enclosure. Even if the user carries the electronic apparatus, the hinge cap is reliably prevented from rattling. Generation of noise can be avoided.
