  • Patent number: 10459317
    Abstract: A structure includes a sheet metal antenna as a first member, a rear-surface-side housing as a second member including a through hole, and a sealing portion which seals the through hole while the sealing portion fixes relative positional relation between the first and second members. The second member includes a space. The sheet metal antenna includes a second portion along a second surface and an intermediate portion which passes through the through hole and the like. The space includes a first region covered with the second portion and the like, a second region located opposite to the first region with the intermediate portion being interposed, and a third region which lies from one main surface of the intermediate portion to the other main surface thereof while it is in contact with both of the first region and the second region. The second portion includes an injection hole.

  • Publication number: 20190096610
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing having an opening, a key member including one or more pushers projecting inwardly of the housing, having one or more through-holes or one or more cutaway parts, and disposed to allow the one or more pushers to pass through the opening, one or more switches each disposed to face a corresponding one of the one or more pushers inside the housing, a first waterproof member disposed between each of the one or more pushers and each of the one or more switches, and one or more shaft members fixed to the housing. Each of the one or more shaft members enters the one or more through-holes or the one or more cutaway parts so as to limit part of a displacement of the key member relative to the housing.

  • Patent number: 9942665
    Abstract: A cover member is made of a crystalline material, and includes a first main surface that faces a display surface of a display, and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface. A vibration element produces flexural vibrations, and is disposed on the first main surface of the cover member. The cover member is bent in a second direction more easily than in a first direction from the viewpoint of anisotropy of a crystalline structure of the crystalline material. The first direction is parallel to the first and second main surfaces, and the second direction is parallel to the first and second main surfaces and vertical to the first direction. The vibration element produces flexural vibrations along the second direction.

  • Patent number: 9756749
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic apparatus comprises a display, a cover member, a piezoelectric vibrating element, a controller, a housing, a bonding material, and an intervening member. The bonding material between the housing and a peripheral end of an inner surface of the cover member is configured to bond the housing and the cover member. The inner surface of the cover member includes a partial region in which the bonding material is absent. The partial region includes a region in which the piezoelectric vibrating element is located and extends to one part of a periphery of the inner surface. The intervening member is located between the housing and a region of the partial region close to the one part of the periphery relative to the piezoelectric vibrating element and is less likely to interfere with a vibration of the cover member than the bonding material.
