Patent number: 11606866Abstract: An electronic device with a storage function is provided. The electronic device includes a main connection bolt and a housing. The housing includes a first housing member and a second housing member. The first housing member includes two hooks and a fastening portion. The second housing member includes two wedging portions and a fastening base. The hooks are wedged into the wedging portions to restrict the freedom of the first housing member to move relative to the second housing member in a first direction. The main connection bolt connects the fastening portion to the fastening base in a second direction to restrict the freedom of the first housing member to move relative to the second housing member in the first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: SHANNON SYSTEMS LTD.Inventor: Jiangshan Li

Patent number: 11594379Abstract: An electronic device includes a plurality of chip components and an insulating case. The chip components are arranged in a first direction. The case includes a plate portion, a first protrusion portion, and a second protrusion portion. The plate portion faces first side surfaces of the chip components. The first protrusion portion is formed along a plate-portion first side of the plate portion and protrudes from the plate portion toward a downside perpendicular to the first direction. The second protrusion portion is formed to the first protrusion portion in a second direction and protrudes from the plate portion toward the downside. A protrusion length of the first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion from the plate portion toward the downside is smaller than a protrusion length of the chip component included in the chip components from the plate portion toward the downside.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: TDK CORPORATIONInventors: Akihiro Masuda, Shinya Ito, Norihisa Ando, Tomoyuki Sasaki, Shinya Onodera
