Patent Application
20160212518
The present disclosure relates to housings, and more particularly, to a housing for an electronic device.
Currently, electronic devices, such as mobile phones and tablet computers are often equipped with microphone holes. Users can transfer sound information through the microphone hole to receivers. The microphone hole is usually accommodated in an electronic device housing, and a dust-proof net is usually attached to the inside of the electronic device housing to cover the microphone hole. In attaching the dust-proof net, a part of the dust-proof net can be attached with double sided adhesive, and then the part of the dust-proof net with the double sided adhesive can be attached to the electronic housing, and the other part of the dust-proof net without the double sided adhesive can cover the microphone hole. As sizes of the microphone hole and the dust-proof net are small, the dust-proof net is difficult to accurately position and the double sided adhesive may cover the microphone hole.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to an electronic device housing for an electronic device. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or other electronic devices.
Referring now to
The electronic device housing 100 can include two dust-proof nets 200 corresponding to the first recess 52 and the second recess 54.
In at least one embodiment, both of a shape of the first adhesive portion 5232 and a shape of the first non-adhesive portion 5234 can be non-symmetrical. When attaching the dust-proof net 200 to the recess 523, one surface of the dust-proof net 200 can be attached with the double sided adhesive 300. The dust-proof net 200 can be deposited into the recess 523 and 543 in only one direction, preventing the surface of the dust-proof net 200 with the double sided adhesive 300 from depositing away from the bottom of the recess 523. In other embodiments, only one of the first adhesive portion 5232 and the first non-adhesive portion 5234 can be non-symmetrical.
The recess 543 of the second microphone hole 54 can be the same with the recess 523 of the first microphone hole 52.
In at least one embodiment, the holes 525 and 545 can be long holes. The holes 525 and 545 can be defined through the bottom of the first non-adhesive portions 5234 and 5434, and arranged at the same side of the first adhesive portions 5232 and 5432.
The first adhesive portion 5232 and the first non-adhesive portion 5234 have different shapes, and the dust-proof net 200 and the mounting holes 523 and 543 have the same shape. Therefore, the second adhesive portion 202 which is attached with the double sided adhesive 300 can be only deposited to the first adhesive portion 5232; it cannot be deposited to the first non-adhesive portion 5234. The electronic device housing 100 can prevent the double sided adhesive 300 from enclosing the hole 525. As the shape of the first adhesive portion 5232 or the shape of the first non-adhesive portion 5234 is non-symmetrical, the dust-proof net 200 can be deposited into the recess 523 and 543 in only one direction, preventing the surface of the dust-proof net 200 with the double sided adhesive 300 from depositing away from the bottom of the recess 523 when attaching the dust-proof net 200. Furthermore, the two holes 525 and 545 are defined at the same side of the adhesive portion 5232 and 5432, thus the time of mounting the dust-proof nets 200 can be saved.
In other embodiments, the shapes of the first adhesive portion 5232 and first non-adhesive portion 5234 can be other shapes, as long as the first adhesive portion 5232 and the first non-adhesive portion 5234 have different shapes.
In other embodiments, the microphone hole 50 can be positioned at other portion of the electronic device housing 100. For example, the microphone hole 50 can be positioned at two sides of the electronic device housing 100.
In other embodiments, the number of the microphone hole 50 can be one or more.
In other embodiments, both of the first microphone hole 52 and the second microphone hole 54 can be defined at the bottom wall 32 or the side wall 34.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of an electronic device housing. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, especially in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including, the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
