ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING WATERPROOF MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17862719 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING WATERPROOF MEMBER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a waterproof feature. Here are the key points:
- The device has a housing with two openings on one side.
- A tray can be inserted or extracted through the first opening.
- The second opening has a waterproof member that moves back and forth.
- The waterproof member includes a pin that moves within the second opening.
- The pin has waterproof rings that seal the space between the pin and the inner wall of the second opening.
- The second opening is inclined in relation to the direction of tray insertion/extraction.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile phones, tablets, or other electronic devices that need waterproofing.
- Outdoor equipment like cameras or GPS devices that require protection from water.
- Medical devices that need to be waterproof for use in wet environments.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Protects electronic devices from water damage.
- Ensures that the tray insertion/extraction mechanism remains waterproof.
- Prevents water from entering the device through the second opening.
Benefits of this technology:
- Provides a waterproof feature without compromising the functionality of the device.
- Allows for easy insertion and extraction of the tray.
- Reduces the risk of water damage to the electronic components.
- Enables the use of electronic devices in wet or outdoor environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a housing including a side wall having a first opening and a second opening provided at one side of the first opening; a tray configured to be inserted into or extracted from the housing through the first opening; and a waterproof member provided in the second opening and configured to reciprocate linearly, wherein the waterproof member includes: a pin member configured to linearly reciprocate within the second opening; and at least one waterproof ring protruding from an outer peripheral surface of the pin member and sealing a space between the outer peripheral surface of the pin member and an inner wall of the second opening, and wherein the second opening extends at an incline with respect to a direction in which the tray is inserted or extracted.
