Abstract

An information apparatus comprises a main apparatus and a subsidiary apparatus which are separable. The main and subsidiary apparatuses has electrical connectors which are connected substantially automatically when the two apparatuses are attached. The connectors are provided with covers which are movable in association with the attaching procedure. Thereby, the connectors can be kept clean and free from dust contamination or breakage, and the reliability of the information apparatus can be enhanced.
