Patent number: 7652729Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a cover, a rib, an elastic member, and a mask. A non-display surface of a display device is covered with the cover. The cover has a bottom wall and an side wall. The rib is disposed between a side portion of the display device and the side wall of the cover so as to be located in a position separate from the side wall. The rib rise out of the bottom wall of the cover. The elastic members is attached to at least one of an inner surface of the bottom wall and an inner surface of the rib facing the side portion of the display device. The elastic members retain the display device. The mask is fixed to the cover while exposing a display surface of the display device.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2005Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hiroyuki Minaguchi, Yasuyuki Horii, Masanori Sato, Tomohiro Hamada, Hidemi Itakura, Noriyasu Kawamura, Toshio Ooe, Hiroyuki Takahashi

Patent number: 7651345Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a conductive layer provided on an outer surface of a housing, a conductive member provided inside the housing, and a connecting component attached to the housing. The housing is provided with a through hole which causes the inside of the housing to communicate with the outside. The connecting component has conductivity, and is provided with a major diameter section and a minor diameter section. The major diameter section is formed larger than the through hole, is opposed to the conductive layer from outside the housing, and is electrically connected to the conductive layer. The minor diameter section is formed smaller than the through hole, is inserted in the through hole to reach the inside of the housing, and is electrically connected to the conductive member.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kentaro Tomioka, Tomomi Murayama, Noriyasu Kawamura, Toshiyuki Hirota, Hironori Motoe

Publication number: 20080316120Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing, an inner conductor member provided inside the housing, a conductor part with which the housing is provided, and which restrains undesired electromagnetic radiation from leaking from inside the housing to the outside, and an antenna including an antenna element that is provided on an outer surface of the housing, the antenna using the conductor part as an antenna ground. The housing includes a non-conductor part that is out of the conductor part at least at a part of a region in which the antenna element is provided. When the antenna is viewed from a direction in which the antenna element and the housing overlap each other, a size of a part of the antenna element overlapping the non-conductor part is larger than a part of the antenna element overlapping the conductor part.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2008Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Toshiyuki Hirota, Hironori Motoe, Noriyasu Kawamura, Tomomi Murayama, Kentaro Tomioka

Patent number: 7106580Abstract: A mobile electronic appliance comprises a substantially box-shaped first casing having a display section housed therein and a substantially box-shaped second casing having an electronic unit housed therein. The first casing is folded such that the folded first casing is disposed to cover the upper surface of the second casing. The electronic appliance is carried under the state that the display section is closed. Swollen portions each having a void space included therein are formed in the four corner portions of the second casing. The swollen portions expanded outward are formed contiguous to side portions with sloped portions interposed therebetween. The distance between the swollen portion and the side portion is determined not to be smaller than the braking distance that is determined from a prescribed dropping height.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2004Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Tetsuya Kugimiya, Noriyasu Kawamura, Minoru Mukai
