  • Patent number: 10296057
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first housing component including a first surface and a second surface and including a first through hole which connects the first surface and the second surface to each other, a second housing component removably attached to the first housing component, and an acoustic component located on a first side of the first through hole. The first housing component and the second housing component as being combined with each other define a passage which communicates with the outside. The first housing component includes a third surface. The second housing component includes a fourth surface. On one of the third surface and the fourth surface, a rib which protrudes to abut on the other is located. The rib is located to separate a region including the first through hole from other portions.

  • Patent number: 9661410
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first housing component including a first surface facing a first side and a second surface facing a second side, the first housing component including a first through-hole connecting the first surface and the second surface, a waterproof film located to cover the first through-hole, an audio component located on the first side of the waterproof film, and a second housing component attached removably to the second side of the first housing component. The first through-hole has such a shape that the waterproof film is directly visible when the first side is seen from the second side without the second housing component attached to the first housing component. The first housing component and the second housing component are combined together to form a passage leading from an end of the first through-hole on the second surface side to a first opening.
