It is possible to effectively absorb impact by the shell 1, as described below while ensuring ease of use with such a configuration.

The central point O can also be considered as the central point O of the rear surface 100b. The rear surface protrusion 17 may be disposed along a substantially straight line (this may be considered as the center line) passing through the central point 0 and for example, the rear surface projection 17 may be disposed along the a diagonal line (passing through the center point 0) of the rear surface 100b which is a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view.

As illustrated in FIG. 6A, the upper aperture portion 20 corresponding to the optical interface unit 111 of the portable electronic apparatus 100 stored in the body 10 and exposing the optical interface unit 111, a pusher 21 covering the thrust type actuator 112 are provided in the upper side surface portion (planar member) 10c1 of the body 10.

The lateral opening portions 23 exposing each of the actuators 130 and 140 which are the pushable physical keys of the stored portable electronic apparatus 100 are provided in the right and left side surface portions (planar elements) 10c3 of the body 10 (see Figures 7A-7C).

As illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the lateral surface projection (protrusion) 25 projecting from the side surface portions 10c defining the storage space of the body 10 to the outside, is provided around the opening portion of front surface 11 of the body 10. In a state in which the portable electronic apparatus 100 is stored in the body 10, the side surface protrusion 25 projects out of the portable electronic apparatus 100 relative to the center in the display surface 107 of the screen 102 of the portable electronic apparatus 100. The display surface 107 is substantially quadrilateral in plan view and the side surface protrusion 25 is disposed along at least one side of the quadrilateral, but may be disposed along a first arbitrary side of the quadrilateral and a second side facing the first side. In the embodiment, the side surface protrusion 25 is disposed along four sides of the quadrilateral.

In the embodiment, at least the projection region 26 protrudes from an arrangement position of the cover member 30 outside in a direction along the front surface portion 10a during the closed state is provided in the side surface projection 25 (see Fig. 9).

In the embodiment, the rear surface protrusion 17 and the side surface protrusion 25 are described separately, but both the rear surface protrusion 17 and the side surface protrusion 25 may be simply specified as a protrusion .

In the embodiment, a plurality of opening portions are formed. The opening portions are the front surface opening portion 11, the upper opening portion 12, the upper opening portion 20, the side opening portions 23 and the like and can be respectively specified as parts. of openings.

The reinforcing members will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 10 and Figs. 17A to 17C. A basic arrangement of the reinforcing members will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 13A and 13B.

The outermost layer 1 is formed with a conductive member 40 having a conductivity formed with leather such as cowhide, conductive resin and the like (see Fig. 13B). The conductive member 40 is configured with a portion that is formed with a layer and a portion that is formed by layer-depositing the reinforcing member 50 to take the reinforcing member 50 sandwiched in an intermediate portion. The reinforcing member 50 is configured with a portion that is formed with a layer and a portion that is formed by being layered. The reinforcing member 50 is formed for example with paper such as impregnated paper made by compressing a plurality of fine papers and impregnated papers superimposed in a predetermined impregnating liquid, a metal plate and the like.

In a case where the reinforcing member 50 is sandwiched in the conductive member 40, the conductive member 40 is specified by being divided into a first layer 41 having a first conductivity and a second layer 42 having a second conductivity. The reinforcing member 50 may be specified as a third layer having a third conductivity in which the predetermined stiffness is guaranteed. The first conductivity and the second conductivity may be equal. In the case where the first layer 41 and the second layer 42 are formed of the same material, the first conductivity and the second conductivity are equal and their manufacture is facilitated. The first layer 41 and the second layer 42 sandwiching the reinforcing member 50 and thus the shell 1 can obtain the predetermined stiffness.

For the explosion-proof measurements, in particular, the conducting element 40 having the conductivity is used in the outermost layer of the shell 1, the reinforcing element 50 is also formed with paper and the like having a conductivity , and thus it is possible to guarantee a superior explosion-proof property. If the conductive member 40 is formed with leather (especially cowhide), the conductivity is good and the feel is also good, and so the leather is suitable for the shell 1. In this case, one of the first layer 41 and the second layer 42 is formed from leather and the other layer may be formed from another material. The paper is used for the reinforcing element 50 as the third layer and thus the balance of reinforcement (rigidity) and lightness is improved. In a case where the paper has a third conductivity of a predetermined size, it is possible to guarantee a high explosion-proof property.

An example of a specific arrangement of the reinforcing member 50 is described (see Figure 13B).

In the embodiment, four types of paper having different thicknesses are used for the reinforcing member 50. The first reinforcing member 50a is the thickest and has, for example, a thickness of 2.0 mm and the second reinforcing member 50b is the second thicker and has, for example, a thickness of 1.25 mm. The third reinforcing member 50c is thinner and has, for example, a thickness of 1.0 mm and the fourth reinforcing member 50d is the thinnest and has, for example, a thickness of 0.6 mm. In order to improve the strength by approximately combining each of the first to the fourth reinforcing members 50a, 50b, 50c and 50d, the first to the fourth reinforcing members 50a, 50b, 50c and 50d may be used independently layered.

In Figs. 10 to 12A-12C, the first reinforcing member 50a is illustrated by oblique lines having small inclinations, the second reinforcing member 50b is illustrated by oblique lines on the left side, the third reinforcing member. 50c is illustrated by transverse oblique lines and the fourth reinforcing member 50d is illustrated by oblique lines on the right side.

The first reinforcing member 50a is disposed in the edge portion 33 provided along a front side side surface 30a of the cover member 30 in the longitudinal direction and a periphery of the top opening portion 20 provided in the upper side surface portion 10c1. The second reinforcing member 50b is disposed throughout the front surface portion 10a of the body 10 including the protrusion region 26 of the side surface protrusion 25, the entire back side 30b of the cover member 30, the surface portion back 10b of the body 10 and a periphery of the side opening portion 23 provided in the right and left side surface portions 10c3 of the body 10.

The third reinforcing member 50c is disposed in the pusher 21 provided in the upper side surface portion 10c of the body 10. The fourth reinforcing member 50d is disposed substantially throughout the cover member 30.

The strength of the entire shell 1 is increased and the shock and the like against the portable electronic apparatus 100 is prevented by designing the structure of each portion and arranging the reinforcing members 50 having different thicknesses. An example of a specific embodiment is further described with reference to Figs. 13A and 13B in Figs. 17A-17C.

As shown in FIG. 13B, in the closed state, by storing the portable electronic apparatus 100 within the body 10 and disposing the cover member 30 in the front surface portion 10a of the body 10, the second reinforcing member 50b disposed in the rear side 30b of the cover member 30 is disposed on the side of the body 10. The fourth reinforcing member 50d disposed in the front side 30a of the cover member 30 is disposed on the front side in the hull 1 in the closed state. That is, the third layer 51 of the reinforcing member 50 sandwiched by the first layer 41 and the second layer 42 of the conductive member 40 is configured with a fourth layer which is the fourth element of 50d reinforcement and a fifth layer which is the second reinforcement member 50b. As described above, the impact is unlikely to be transmitted between the layers and it is possible to effectively absorb the impact by configuring the reinforcing member 50 with at least two layers (the fourth element of reinforcement 50d and the second reinforcing element 50b). The arrangement is in a state in which the fourth end reinforcing member 50d (fourth layer) is disposed on the upper side and the second reinforcing member 50b (fifth layer) is disposed on the lower side. That is, the second thick reinforcement member 50b (fifth layer) is disposed in a position closer to the screen 102 of the portable electronic apparatus 100 than the fourth thin reinforcement member 50d (fourth layer). . Depending on the configuration, the impact applied from the front side of the cover member 30 is considerably absorbed by the thin layer and then the impact is dispersed by the thick layer whose rigidity is high and which is difficult to bend. Therefore, it is possible to effectively absorb the impact and protect the screen 102, a portion of which is configured with glass and the like, while increasing the entire thickness (including the fourth reinforcing member 50d and the second reinforcing element 50b).

When the hull 1 storing the portable electronic device 100 is dropped, the projection 25 is struck first, the impact received by the projection 25 is transmitted to the second reinforcing member 50b disposed along the display surface. 107 and the impact is transmitted from the entire body 10 to the portable electronic apparatus 100 by providing the side surface protrusion 25 projecting out of the side surface portion 10c defining the storage space of the body 10 and having thick thickness and strength. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the impact with respect to the portable electronic device 100. Since the outermost layer of the shell 1 is the conductive element 40, for example, the shell 1 has the explosion-proof structure even if the shell 1 is dropped on a metal floor and the like and it is possible to use the portable electronic apparatus 100 safely without causing an electric spark and the like.

As illustrated in Fig. 14C, the second reinforcing members 50b are arranged to interpose the first reinforcing member 50a and the fourth reinforcing member 50d on both sides and the four layer laminate structure which is thicker than the other portions. , is provided in the central part of the projection region 26.

The protrusion region 26 of the side surface protrusion 25 projects from the position of arrangement of the cover member 30 to the outside, in the closed state in which the front surface opening portion 11 is covered. by the cover member 30 also serving to protect the front surface opening portion 11 of the body 10 and thus the impact resistance of the shell 1 is increased. Since the protrusion region 26 is formed with the four-layer laminate structure of the reinforcing member 50 and has a thicker thickness than the other regions of the side surface protrusion 25, the impact resistance is further increased.

In the embodiment, an example in which the side surface protrusion 25 projects from the side surface portion 10c throughout the body 10 to further increase the impact property is described, but the locations and number of the projections do not are not limited and the side surface protrusion 25 may project from at least a side surface portion 10c. Of course, the side surface projections 25 may protrude from the two side surface portions 10c facing each other.

As illustrated in FIG. 15C, the actuator cover portion 13 covering the thrust actuator 103 of the portable electronic apparatus 100 provided in the front surface portion 10a of the body 10 has an actuator region 13a, the region 13b peripheral and the adjacent region 13c adjacent to the outside relative to the actuator region 13a. The two second reinforcing members 50b which are the third layer sandwiched between the first layer 41 and the second layer 42 are disposed in the actuator region 13a. The third layer is rigid, has a higher strength than the first layer and the second layer and facilitates the operation of the thrust actuator 103.

In order to facilitate the pushing operation of the thrust actuator 103, the second reinforcing element 50b which is the third layer is not disposed in the peripheral region 13b. The third layer is disposed in the adjacent region 13c and the third layer is configured with a second reinforcing member 50b. That is, in order to reliably perform the pushing operation of the thrust actuator 103, a thickness (thickness of the two second reinforcing members 50b) of the third layer of the actuator region 13a is thicker than a thickness (a second reinforcing member 50b) of the third layer of the adjacent region 13c.

As illustrated in FIG. 16B, the upper aperture portion 20 that can utilize the transparent member 110 and the optical interface unit 111 provided in the upper side surface 100c of the portable electronic apparatus 100 is provided in the portion of upper side surface 10c1 of the body 10. The thick portion 20a having a predetermined thickness is provided in at least a portion of a periphery of the upper opening portion 20. At least a portion of the thick portion 20a is disposed to overlap with the housing 101 of the periphery of the transparent element 110 of the portable electronic device 100.

The thick portion 20a comprises the thick portion 20al and the thick portion 20a2 disposed on both sides of the upper opening portion 20, and is formed to be thicker than the upper side surface portion 10c1 different from the thick portion 20a.

The thick portion 20a has a three-layer structure of the first layer 41 and the second layer 42 of the conductive member 40 and the first reinforcing member 50a sandwiched between the first layer 41 and the second layer 42. C ' that is, since the upper side surface portion 10c1 basically has a conductive member layer structure 40, the thick portion 20a having the three layer structure is thicker than the upper side surface portion LOCL. A layering direction of the three-layer structure is a vertical direction away from the upper side surface portion 10c1 and the upper side surface 100c of the portable electronic apparatus 100. On the other hand, the thick portion 20a2 is the protrusion region 26 (see Figs. 14B and 14C) described above and a thicker lamination direction 20a2 is disposed along the upper side surface portion 10c1 and the upper side surface 100c of the electronic apparatus As illustrated in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the thick portion 20a2 comes into contact with the housing 101 of the periphery of the transparent element 110 of the portable electronic apparatus 100 without the upper side surface portion 10c1. The transparent element 110 and the optical interface unit 111 are anti-explosion and in particular, the transparent element 110 whose resistance is lower than that of the housing 101 is protected against shock and the like by providing the thick part 20a in the periphery of the upper opening portion 20. That is, it is possible to prevent the entry of flammable gas into the optical interface unit 111 due to the break of the transparent element 110 made from resin and the like. It is conceivable that the conductors of an electrical circuit are exposed to the atmosphere by shock and the like in the optical interface unit. The transparent element 110 is not broken and thus it is possible to remove the flammable gas which comes into contact with the conductors and suppress the ignition of the flammable gas due to the supplied conductors. Since the thick portion 20a has a structure engaging the housing 101 directly or via the side surface portion 10c1, the shock received by the thick portion 20a is not directly applied to the transparent member 110.

The upper opening portion 20 is open so as not to overlap with the transparent member 110, but may partially overlap with the transparent member 110.

As illustrated in FIGS. 16A and 16C, the pusher 21 covering the thrust type actuator 112 of the portable electronic apparatus 100 is provided adjacent to the upper opening portion 20. In particular, the pusher 21 is disposed between the upper opening portion 20 and the thick portion 20al. The third reinforcing member 50c is sandwiched between the first layer 41 and the second layer 42 in the pusher 21. The entire thickness of the thick portion 20a is defined as the first thickness and the entire thickness of the pusher 21 is defined as the second thickness. As a relation between the first thickness and the second thickness, it is possible to select one of the cases of which the first thickness and the second thickness are equal, the first thickness is thicker than the second thickness and the first thickness is thinner than the second thickness. If the first thickness and the second thickness are equal, manufacturing is facilitated, if the first thickness is thicker than the second thickness, the protective resistance of the actuator 112 is improved, and if the first thickness is thinner than the second thickness, the actuator 112 is easily actuated.

As illustrated in Figs. 12B, 12C and the like, the side opening portions 23 exposing the actuators 130 and 140 respectively which are the pushable physical keys of the portable electronic apparatus 100 are provided in the right side surface portions. and left 10c3 of the body 10 and have the same configuration. Thus, the left side surface portion 10c3 and the actuator 130 will be described in Figs. 17A-17C.

Similar to the upper opening portion 20, the thick portion 23a is provided in the periphery of the side opening portion 23. The first thick portion (thick portion) 23al disposed along the longitudinal direction of the side surface portion left 10c3 has a three-layer structure in which the second reinforcing member 50b is sandwiched between the conductive members 40 (the first layer 41 and the second layer 42). The first thick portion 23al is thicker than the thickness of the side surface portion 10c. On the other hand, the second thick portion (thick portion) 23a2 disposed along the lateral direction of the left side surface portion 10c3 is configured with the conductive member 40. A first thickness of the first thick portion 23a is formed to be greater than a second thickness of the second thick portion 23a2 and reduce the impact from the outside. The actuators 130 and 140 are explosion-proof by providing a conductive element 40 having conductivity in the periphery of the operators 130 and 140. That is, even in a case in which a charged human body (for example: the finger) tries to come into contact with the actuators 130 and 140 and the like, the human body comes into contact with the conductive element 40 of the periphery so that the charged electric charge escapes from the conductive element 40 having a predetermined conductivity and then the human body comes into contact with the operators 130 and 140. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the loading of the actuators 130 and 140. Thus, it is possible to suppress the ignition of the gas and the like due to the loading of the actuators 130 and 140. The second thick portion 23a2 is likely to come into contact with the finger of the user who is trying to gain access to the lateral opening portion 23, but is form It is finer than the first thick part 23al and thus has little chance of interfering with access.

In the embodiment, the thick portion 20a and the thick portion 23a are configured by a laminated structure of the conductive member 40 and the reinforcing member 50, but the thick portions 20a and 23a can be configured by the first layer 41. and the second layer 42 of the conductive element 40.

As illustrated in Figs. 18A and 18B, the rear surface protrusion 17 having the strap 15 and the damping member 16 is provided in the rear surface portion 10b of the body 10. In Fig. 5, the rear surface protrusion 17 is described to be disposed along the center line XX of the portable electronic apparatus 100 and to protrude in the remote direction of the portable electronic apparatus 100 in a state in which the portable electronic apparatus 100 is stored in the body 10. The rear surface protrusions 17 comprise respectively predetermined widths in the lateral direction of the rear surface portion 10b and are arranged to be displaced by a predetermined width.

The projection in the remote direction is provided to provide elasticity, the strap 15 is separated from the rear surface portion 10b of the body 10 in a curved shape so that the user easily grasps the strap 15 and the clip element. damping 16 is configured with a belt-shaped element which is partially rounded.

The rear surface protrusion 17 is divided into webbing 15 and damping element 16 which are two independent elements and have elasticity in the remote direction relative to the portable electronic apparatus 100 while allowing different roles respectively. Therefore, even in a case where the foreign bodies fall on the shell 1 storing the portable electronic device 100 or the shell 1 falls, it is possible to effectively absorb the shock. The strap 15 is arranged on the lower side taking into account the ease of use of the user and shock absorption is guaranteed by the damping element 16 disposed on the upper side from the strap 15.

As shown in Fig. 18B, if the portable electronic apparatus 100 is stored in the body 10, the shell 1 is naturally inclined to the left or right side due to the weight of the portable electronic apparatus 100 and the shock due to the falling foreign bodies from the outside on the portable electronic device 100 is reduced. That is, the portable electronic apparatus 100 is supported and fixedly disposed on a portion of the rear surface portion 10b of the body 10 on one end side or the other end side relative to at the rear surface projection 17 and the rear surface of the rear surface protrusion 17 and the impact is reduced by an elastic force of the rear surface projection 17. In Fig. 18B, the damping element 16 is not illustrated, but the latter is simply concealed by the shadow and the body 10 also includes the damping element 16 in Figure 18B.

As described above, the strength of the entire shell 1 is increased and the stored portable electronic device 100 is shock-proof and the like by designing the structure of each part of the shell 1 and arranging reinforcing elements 50 having different thicknesses. In particular, the portable electronic apparatus 100 used on a construction site, a work site, a safety treatment site, a factory inspection site and the like is heavier than a normal mobile phone and a fall impact force is also important. The anti-blast property and impact resistance of the portable electronic apparatus 100 are improved by a combination of the lamination of the conductive member 40 and the reinforcing member 50. Thicknesses of the thick portions 20a and 23a are modified, and anti-blooming measures are performed in the actuators 112, 130 and 140 and the operability is improved.

The shell 1 and the portable electronic apparatus 100 are described above separately, but the portable electronic apparatus 100 may comprise the shell 1.

The description is not limited to the embodiment described above and modifications, improvements and the like can be made appropriately. In addition, a material, shape, dimensions, numerical values, shape, number, layout position and the like of each configuration element in the embodiment described above are arbitrary and are not limited as long as it can reach the description.

The anti-explosion property required at a chemical installation site and the like and the necessary impact resistance on a construction site, a work site, a safety treatment site and the like are met by using the hull and the portable electronic device of the description and it is possible to appropriately use the hull and the portable electronic device of the description.
