ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND FIXING MECHANISM |
(57) An electronic apparatus (3) comprises: a rotating body (71) having an outer thread
(72) formed on the outer circumferential face thereof; and a cylindrical part (70)
having an inner thread (78) formed on the inner circumferential face thereof, wherein
the inner thread (78) screws to the outer thread (72) of the rotating body (71). An
opening (73) is formed in an outer circumferential face of the rotating body (71).
The rotating body (71) also comprises a rotating member (B4) that is exposed to the
outside in the diameter direction from the opening (73), and that rotatably contacts
the inner circumferential face of the cylindrical part (70). A first recess (75),
that inhibits the rotation of the rotating member (B4), is also formed on the inner
circumferential face of the cylindrical part (70). A fixing mechanism (2) comprises
the electronic apparatus.
