Abstract
Abstract A fixation device (1) for an electronic display (2) which includes a pair of holding members (5a, 5b) provided at the opposite transverse edges of a plate-like rest (3) for holding the electronic display (2) at the predetermined position on the rest (3). The holding members (5a, 5b) include holding plates (21a, 21b) having triangle-like portions (21a', 21b') at the end near hinges (4a, 4b) respectively. Thereby, the swinging angle of the holding members (5a, 5b) can be slight when retaining and releasing of the electronic display (2).
