ABSTRACT:
In an electronic device in which a control unit is detachable from an equipment body, the control unit is engaged and detachably secured to the equipment body by a locking member and a temporary retaining member. A lock release unit causes the locking member to disengage the control unit. When the locking member disengages the control unit, the temporary retaining member retains the control unit and causes the control unit to protrude from the front of the equipment body. Thus, the control unit is temporarily retained by the temporary retaining member in the protruding position and is not allowed to fall off the equipment body onto the ground or floor. In addition, since the operating member is moved to a position where it protrudes from the front of the equipment body, the control unit is easy to remove by hand.
