ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING WATERPROOF STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598579 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING WATERPROOF STRUCTURE
The abstract describes an electronic device with a flexible circuit board passing through two separate housings, each with a support bracket and waterproof members to protect the circuit board.
- The electronic device includes a flexible circuit board passing through a first and second housing.
- A first support bracket supports the circuit board while covering the first through-hole, and a second support bracket does the same for the second through-hole.
- Waterproof members are inserted into the through-holes to protect the circuit board from water damage.
- The design ensures the circuit board remains secure and protected within the device.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in electronic devices that require protection from water damage, such as smartphones, tablets, or wearable devices. - It could also be applied in industrial settings where electronic components need to be safeguarded against environmental factors.
Problems Solved: - The technology addresses the issue of water damage to electronic devices, ensuring their longevity and reliability. - It also solves the problem of securing and supporting flexible circuit boards within a device.
Benefits: - Increased durability and reliability of electronic devices. - Enhanced protection against water damage. - Secure and stable positioning of flexible circuit boards.
Commercial Applications: Title: Waterproof Flexible Circuit Board Support System This technology could be valuable for manufacturers of electronic devices looking to enhance the durability and water resistance of their products. It could also be attractive to industries where electronic components are exposed to harsh environments.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the waterproofing system in this electronic device work? - The waterproofing system includes waterproof members inserted into through-holes to protect the flexible circuit board from water damage. 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this technology? - The technology could be used in various electronic devices and industrial settings to enhance water resistance and durability.
