1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a first chassis member that has a first edge portion;
a second chassis member that has a second edge portion adjacent to the first edge portion, and is adjacent to the first chassis member;
a hinge device that connects the first chassis member and the second chassis member so as to be relatively rotatable between a first posture in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are stacked so as to overlap each other in a surface normal direction and a second posture in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the surface normal direction;
a cover component that is disposed so as to straddle the first edge portion and the second edge portion, and disposed so as to fill a gap formed between front surfaces of the first chassis member and the second chassis member in a case of the second posture;
a first gap cover that is interposed in a first gap formed between the cover component and the first chassis member; and
a second gap cover that is interposed in a second gap formed between the cover component and the second chassis member, wherein
the first gap cover is a plastic sheet that is fixed to the first chassis member and protrudes from the first chassis member toward the cover component,
the second gap cover is a plastic sheet that is fixed to the second chassis member and protrudes from the second chassis member toward the cover component,
the first edge portion is provided with a first standing wall that stands upright toward a front surface of the first chassis member and a first bottom plate that protrudes from a bottom portion of the first standing wall toward a side of the second edge portion,
the second edge portion is provided with a second standing wall that stands upright toward a front surface of the second chassis member and a second bottom plate that protrudes from a bottom portion of the second standing wall toward a side of the first edge portion,
the first gap cover is fixed to the first chassis member at an upper portion of the first standing wall and protrudes in a direction gradually inclined to a side of the first bottom plate in a direction separated from the first standing wall, and
the second gap cover is fixed to the second chassis member at an upper portion of the second standing wall and protrudes in a direction gradually inclined to a side of the second bottom plate in a direction separated from the second standing wall.
