Abstract
An electronic device capable of generating a click force when a lid member is operated to be opened or closed, without increasing the number of parts. The electronic device includes a storage case formed with a first shaft hole in which a pivot shaft of a battery lid is positioned when the battery lid is locked with the storage case and a second shaft hole in which the pivot shaft is positioned when the battery lid is released from locking with the storage case. A hook portion of the storage case is disposed to face a space extending between the first and second shaft holes, and pivoted in a direction to expand the space when the pivot shaft is moved between the first and second shaft holes than when the pivot shaft is positioned in the first or second shaft hole.
