  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, a first embodiment of a device housing 30 is integrally formed by a plastic frame 31, a glass plate 33, and an adhesive member 35. In the illustrated embodiment, the device housing 30 is used for an electronic device (not shown).
  • The plastic frame 31 includes a side frame 311 and an annular positioning portion 312 formed on an inner surface of the side frame 311. The plastic frame 31 can be formed by molding (not shown). In the illustrated embodiment, the side frame 311 is substantially rectangular. The plastic frame 31 is comprised of nylon and fiberglass.
  • The glass plate 33 includes a first surface 331, a second surface 332 opposite to the first surface 331, and a side surface 333 connecting the first surface 331 with the second surface 332. A periphery of the first surface 331 is coated with printing ink to form a light shielding portion 335 and a light guiding portion 336 surrounded by the light shielding portion 335. An end of the glass plate 33 defines three assembly holes 337 arranged side by side. A chamfer angle 338 is formed on an edge of the first surface 331 and the second surface 332 to enhance structural integrity of the glass plate 33. In the illustrated embodiment, the glass plate 33 is substantially rectangular.
  • The adhesive member 35 is polyurethane glue in this embodiment. The polyurethane glue can be liquefied to provide adhesion in damp and high temperature conditions (exceeding about 60 degrees Celcius), and solidified to provide adhesion in dry and normal temperature conditions. Thus, the adhesive member 35 can be used repeatedly. In the illustrated embodiment, the adhesive member 35 is substantially a rectangular ring corresponding to the positioning portion 312 of the plastic frame 31.
  • The device housing 30 can be integrally formed by molding as follows: printing the adhesive member 35 on the edge of the glass plate 33 and drying the adhesive member 35; positioning the glass plate 33 in the injection mold; injecting melted plastic material to the side surface 333 of the glass plate 33 to form the plastic frame 31, and the adhesive member 35 generating adhesion in damp and high temperature conditions; cooling the device housing 30 and the plastic frame 31 contacting the glass plate 33 with no gap, with the adhesive member 35 sandwiched between the plastic frame 31 and the glass plate 33 to enhance connection strength therebetween.
  • Since the plastic frame 31 and the glass plate 33 are integrally formed via the injection mold, no gap is formed therebetween and a top surface of the glass plate 33 can align with a top surface of the plastic frame 31. Thus, the device housing 30 presents an unspoiled appearance. In addition, the adhesive member 35 is printed on the glass plate 33 and the device housing 30 is integrally formed, thus manufacturing efficiency is greatly improved.
  • It should be pointed out that the plastic frame 31 and the glass plate 33 may be other shapes, for example, the glass plate 33 may be an ellipse, and the plastic frame 31 an ellipsular ring. In addition, the chamfer angle 338 may be formed on an edge of the first surface 331 or the second surface 332.
  • Referring to FIGS. 4 through 6, a second embodiment of a device housing 50 is integrally formed by a plastic frame 51, a glass plate 53, an adhesive member 55, and a plurality of fastening members 57. The plastic frame 51, the glass plate 53, and the adhesive member 55 have a similar structure to the first embodiment of the plastic frame 31, the glass plate 33, and the adhesive member 35 of the device housing 30 respectively.
  • Each fastening member 57 includes a main body 571 and a hook portion 573 extending from an end of the main body 571. Each fastening member 57 defines one or more connecting holes 575. The one or more connecting holes 575 is configured for allowing molten plastic material therethrough in an injection process. The connecting holes 575 are filled with plastic material after the melted plastic material cools.
  • The device housing 50 can be integrally formed by molding as follows: printing the adhesive member 55 on the edge of the glass plate 53 and drying the adhesive member 55; positioning the glass plate 53 and the fastening members 57 in the injection mold, the fastening members 57 corresponding to the edge of the glass plate 53, and the hook portion 573 attached to the adhesive member 55; injecting melted plastic material to the side surface 533 of the glass plate 53 and the fastening members 57 to form the plastic frame 51, and the adhesive member 55 generating adhesion in damp and high temperature conditions; cooling the device housing 30, with the plastic frame 31 connecting the glass plate 33 and the fastening members 57 with no gap, and the adhesive member 35 sandwiched between the plastic frame 31, the glass plate 33, and the fastening members 57 to enhance a connecting strength therebetween. The device housing 50 also presents an unspoiled appearance, and is easily manufactured. The fastening members 57 can engage other components of the electronic device.
  • In an alternative embodiment, the fastening members 57 can be positioned in the injection mold with a certain distance between the adhesive member 55 and the fastening members 57.
  • Referring to FIG. 7, a third embodiment of a device housing 70 is integrally formed by a plastic frame 71, a glass plate 73, an adhesive member 75, and a plurality of fastening members 77. The device housing 70 differs from the device housing 50 of the second embodiment only in that the glass plate 73 defines an annular receiving groove 735 on an edge of a second surface 732. The adhesive member 75 is received in the receiving groove 735. A thickness of the device housing 70 can be less than that of the device housing 50 because the adhesive member 75 is received in the receiving groove 735. Alternatively, the glass plate 73 can define the receiving groove 735 in the side surface.
  • Referring to FIG. 8, a fourth embodiment of a device housing 90 is integrally formed by a plastic frame 91, a glass plate 93, an adhesive member 975, and a plurality of fastening members 97. The device housing 90 differs from the device housing 50 of the second embodiment only in that the glass plate 93 forms a connecting surface 935 on an edge of a first surface 931. The plastic frame 91 forms a connecting portion 919 on the connecting surface 935. In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting surface 935 is angled. Structural integrity of the device housing 90 is better than that of housing 50 of the second embodiment because the plastic frame 91 has a connecting portion 919 positioned on the connecting surface 935 of the glass plate 93.
  • It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure or sacrificing all of its material advantages.
