A computer device with a display comprising a body, a display rotatably mounted on the body and a keyboard having input keys, wherein the keyboard is removably mounted on the display so as to cover an opening with the surface thereof turned toward the display, the keyboard having a size enough to cover the opening of the display and having a projection for attaching the keyboard to the display formed in an edge on the display side and a keyboard locking projection which can advance from and retreat into the surface of the keyboard formed in an edge on an operator's side, the display having a lower keyboard receiving face provided below the opening, an upper keyboard receiving face provided above the opening and a keyboard contact portion provided on a peripheral edge of the opening, and the lower keyboard receiving face having a hole into which the projection can be inserted and which can rotate the keyboard with the projection inserted thereinto and the upper keyboard receiving face having a hole which can be engaged with the advancing keyboard locking projection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a computer device with a display comprising a body, a display rotatably mounted on the body and a keyboard having input keys, wherein the keyboard is removably mounted on the display so as to cover an opening with the surface thereof turned toward the display, the keyboard having a size enough to cover the opening of the display and having a projection for attaching the keyboard to the display formed in an edge on the display side and a keyboard locking projection which can advance from and retreat into the surface of the keyboard formed in an edge on an operator's side, the display having a lower keyboard receiving face provided below the opening, an upper keyboard receiving face provided above the opening and a keyboard contact portion provided on a peripheral edge of the opening, and the lower keyboard receiving face having a hole into which the projection can be inserted and which can rotate the keyboard with the projection inserted thereinto and the upper keyboard receiving face having a hole which can be engaged with the advancing keyboard locking projection.
According to the above construction, even if the display has a display unit of which screen is large-sized, it is sufficient that the keyboard has a size enough to cover the opening of the display fully.
Consequently, it is not required to enlarge the keyboard.
In addition, there is no inconvenience that the keyboard is hard to use.
In a case in which the keyboard is attached to the display, the projection of the keyboard is inserted into the hole formed on the lower keyboard receiving face of the display so that the keyboard is rotated in the direction of the body with the surface of the keyboard turned toward the display.
Then, a tip portion of the keyboard locking projection advances from the surface of the keyboard with the keyboard coming into contact with the keyboard contact portion of the display.
Consequently, the tip portion of the keyboard locking projection is engaged with the hole formed on the upper keyboard receiving face of the display so that the keyboard is attached to the display
