ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING IMPACT RESISTANCE-REINFORCING STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18449342 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING IMPACT RESISTANCE-REINFORCING STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes an electronic device with an impact resistance-reinforcing structure. The device includes two plates facing opposite directions and a housing that surrounds the space between the plates. The housing consists of a first metal material part, a second metal material part spaced apart from the first part, a first reinforcing structure formed in the first metal material part adjacent to the housing's edge portion, and a non-metal material part injection-molded between the first and second metal material parts, covering the first reinforcing structure and adhered to it.
- The electronic device has at least one impact resistance-reinforcing structure.
- It includes two plates facing opposite directions.
- The housing surrounds the space between the plates.
- The housing consists of a first metal material part and a second metal material part.
- A first reinforcing structure is formed in the first metal material part, adjacent to the housing's edge portion.
- A non-metal material part is injection-molded between the first and second metal material parts.
- The non-metal material part covers the first reinforcing structure and is adhered to it.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile phones and smartphones
- Tablets and laptops
- Wearable devices (smartwatches, fitness trackers)
- Portable gaming devices
- Electronic accessories (headphones, speakers)
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhanced impact resistance and durability of electronic devices
- Protection against accidental drops and impacts
- Reduction of damage to internal components
- Increased lifespan of electronic devices
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and longevity of electronic devices
- Enhanced user experience by reducing the risk of damage
- Cost savings for consumers by minimizing repair or replacement needs
- Increased market competitiveness for electronic device manufacturers
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device including at least one impact resistance-reinforcing structure may be disclosed herein. The disclosed electronic device includes: a first plate disposed to face in a first direction; a second plate disposed to face in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and a housing including a side member disposed so as to surround at least a portion of the space between the first and second plates, wherein the housing may include: a first metal material part; a second metal material part spaced apart from the first metal material part; a first reinforcing structure which is formed in the first metal material part and disposed adjacent to an edge portion of the housing; and a non-metal material part which is a structure integrally injection-molded between the first and second metal material parts and connecting the first and second metal material parts, is large enough to cover the first reinforcing structure, and is adhered to the first reinforcing structure. Various other embodiments are possible.
