Publication number: 20260239546Abstract: An electronic device (10) has a device body (20) having an upper surface (22a) and an exterior panel (51) covering the upper surface (22a). A partial panel (51L) constituting the exterior panel (51) has a back engaging part (53), a front engaging part (54), and a fitting part (55A). The device body (20) has a back engaged part (25a) configured to be engaged with the back engaging part (53), a front engaged part (26a) configured to be engaged with the front engaging part (54), and a fitted part (27A) configured to be fitted with the fitting part (55A). The back engaged part (25a) is positioned behind the back engaging part (53), and the front engaged part (26a) is positioned behind the front engaging part (54). The fitted part (27A) is fitted with the fitting part (55A) so as to restrain the partial panel (51L) from moving forward. Provided here is an electronic device of which the exterior panel is easy to detach from the device body.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2024Publication date: August 13, 2026Inventors: Satoshi Mito, Yuta Tamaki, Kazutaka Eto

Patent number: 11259441Abstract: Foreign matter is prevented from entering the inside of an electronic apparatus. An electronic apparatus (100) includes plural exhaust holes (E1, E2) formed in an armor member (20), an air flow path (S3) formed inside the armor member (20) and connected to the plural exhaust holes (E1, E2), a power source circuit (41) disposed in the air flow path (S3), and a foreign matter preventing member (70) located between the power source circuit (41) and the plural exhaust holes (E1, E2). The foreign matter preventing member (70) is formed with plural openings (Es). Each of the openings (Es) is smaller in size than each of the exhaust holes (E1, E2).Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Satoshi Mito, Yasuhiro Ootori, Keiichi Aoki
