BUTTON DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18469018 titled 'BUTTON DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a housing that includes a key hole and a vent hole. It also includes a button member with a body part that covers the key hole and the vent hole, and a button protrusion inserted into the key hole. A substrate member is included with a switch that is actuated based on the button protrusion. A base is placed between the housing and the substrate member to cover the substrate member. A waterproof member with a sealing part is formed to protrude from the base and surround at least one of the key hole and the vent hole. A conduit connects the internal space and the outside of the electronic device through the vent hole, and a waterproof cover is placed on the conduit to block moisture from entering through the vent hole.
- The electronic device has a housing with a key hole and a vent hole.
- A button member covers the key hole and the vent hole, and a button protrusion is inserted into the key hole.
- A substrate member includes a switch that is activated by the button protrusion.
- A base is placed between the housing and the substrate member to cover the substrate member.
- A waterproof member with a sealing part protrudes from the base and surrounds at least one of the key hole and the vent hole.
- A conduit connects the internal space and the outside of the electronic device through the vent hole.
- A waterproof cover is placed on the conduit to prevent moisture from entering through the vent hole.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electronic devices that require protection from moisture or water damage.
- Outdoor electronic devices that are exposed to rain or other wet conditions.
- Electronic devices used in humid environments, such as bathrooms or swimming pools.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Protects the internal components of electronic devices from moisture or water damage.
- Prevents water or moisture from entering through the key hole or vent hole.
- Ensures the functionality and longevity of electronic devices in wet or humid conditions.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased durability and lifespan of electronic devices.
- Enhanced protection against water or moisture damage.
- Allows for the use of electronic devices in wet or humid environments without the risk of damage.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided that includes a housing including a key hole and a vent hole, a button member including a body part disposed to cover the key hole and the vent hole, and a button protrusion inserted into the key hole, a substrate member including a switch actuated based on the button protrusion, a base disposed between the housing and the substrate member to cover the substrate member, a waterproof member including a sealing part, formed to protrude from the base to surround a perimeter at least one of the key hole and the vent hole, which has at least a part in close contact with the outer wall, a conduit for connecting an internal space and outside of the electronic device through the vent hole, and a waterproof cover disposed on the conduit so as to block moisture flowing in through the vent hole.
