HOUSING AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538029 titled 'HOUSING AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

The housing for a circuit board consists of a box component with an opening and a lid component that closes the opening.

The box component has a box-side frame portion, while the lid component has a lid-side frame portion.
When the lid component is attached to the box component, the frame portions combine to form a loop shape that matches the outer shape of an exposed component on the circuit board.
This design allows for the secure housing of the circuit board while accommodating any exposed components.

Potential Applications:

Electronics manufacturing
IoT devices
Automotive industry

Problems Solved:

Protecting circuit boards and exposed components
Ensuring a secure housing for delicate electronics

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this housing design compare to traditional enclosures for circuit boards? 2. What materials are commonly used in manufacturing these specialized housings?

Original Abstract Submitted

A housing that is to house a circuit board includes: a box component that includes an opening on a side facing the circuit board that is housed; and a lid component that closes the opening of the box component. The box component includes a box-side frame portion, the lid component includes a lid-side frame portion, and when the lid component is attached to the box component, the box-side frame portion and the lid-side frame portion combine into a loop shape to configure a frame portion that corresponds to an outer peripheral shape of an exposed component that is attached to the circuit board and exposed from the housing.
