Abstract:
A waterproof structure for a portable terminal including a flexible printed circuit (FPC) extending outside of a first housing of a pair of housings from inside the first housing and arranged inside of a second housing of the pair of housings. A wiring hole is formed in each housing to provide a path allowing passage of the FPC therethrough. A waterproof member provided in the wiring hole substantially contacts at least inner walls of the housings and an outer circumferential surface of the FPC to prevent movement of the FPC. An outer circumferential surface of the waterproof member substantially contacts a circumference of an inlet of the wiring hole or an inner wall of the wiring hole. The waterproof member is provided between the housing of the portable terminal and the FPC improving a waterproof function and preventing moisture or water from being introduced into the housing of the terminal.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a mainboard, a housing, and a sealing member. The mainboard surface-mounts a socket connector thereon. The housing receives the mainboard and forms a through hole. The sealing member defines a space for receiving the socket connector via coupling with the mainboard and allows the space and the through hole of the housing to communicate with each other.
Abstract:
A portable terminal including a body, a front deco positioned along a periphery of the body, a main battery cover positioned on a rear surface of the body to cover a battery, and a waterproofing cover interchangeable with the front deco and the main battery cover so that when substituted for the main battery cover and front deco all water intrusion paths on the portable terminal are sealed.
Abstract:
A coupling member that is attachable to/detachable from a housing of an electronic device while making the housing wearable on a user's body, and an electronic device including the coupling member is provided. The electronic device includes a band member that is configured to come in contact with a user's body portion, a slide member that is mounted on the band member, and is bound to a portion of the housing in a state where the coupling member is mounted on the housing, an opening that is formed in the slide member, a locking member that is disposed on the band member, and a locking protrusion that is formed on a locking member. The locking protrusion appears to the outside of the slide member through the opening according to the reciprocating of the locking member, and the coupling member is bound to the housing.
Abstract:
An apparatus for waterproofing a battery cover in a portable terminal is provided, in which a rear case includes an opening for accommodating a battery, a battery cover covers the rear case, and a waterproofing module is disposed between the rear case and the battery cover. The waterproofing module is disposed along an inner periphery of the opening, thus sealing a water infiltration path between the battery cover and the rear case.
Abstract:
A waterproof case for a portable terminal is provided. The waterproof case includes a waterproof member assembled to the portable terminal to wrap an outer perimeter of the portable terminal, the waterproof member being formed with an opening for partially exposing the portable terminal, a protective member configured to wrap an outer perimeter of the waterproof member, the protective member being integrally formed with the waterproof member through dual injection molding, and a waterproof rib formed from an elastic material around the opening on an inner surface of the waterproof member, the waterproof rib being configured to come into close contact with the outer perimeter of the portable terminal
