Patent attributes
A portable information device includes a hinge device rotatably connecting one edge portions of a first chassis and a second chassis, a display, and a cover member covering a side of the hinge device. The hinge device connects the first chassis and the second chassis so as to be foldable from a usage form in which a top surface of the first chassis and a top surface of the second chassis are on substantially the same plane to a storage form in which the top surfaces of the first chassis and the second chassis face each other. The cover member is contained inside the first chassis and the second chassis in the usage form and covers a side of a gap formed by separation of the one edge portions of the first chassis and the second chassis in the storage form.
