FIGS. 1 through 3 , a first embodiment of adevice housing 30 is integrally formed by aplastic frame 31, aglass plate 33, and anadhesive member 35. In the illustrated embodiment, thedevice housing 30 is used for an electronic device (not shown). - The
plastic frame 31 includes aside frame 311 and anannular positioning portion 312 formed on an inner surface of theside frame 311. Theplastic frame 31 can be formed by molding (not shown). In the illustrated embodiment, theside frame 311 is substantially rectangular. Theplastic frame 31 is comprised of nylon and fiberglass. - The
glass plate 33 includes afirst surface 331, asecond surface 332 opposite to thefirst surface 331, and aside surface 333 connecting thefirst surface 331 with thesecond surface 332. A periphery of thefirst surface 331 is coated with printing ink to form alight shielding portion 335 and alight guiding portion 336 surrounded by thelight shielding portion 335. An end of theglass plate 33 defines threeassembly holes 337 arranged side by side. Achamfer angle 338 is formed on an edge of thefirst surface 331 and thesecond surface 332 to enhance structural integrity of theglass plate 33. In the illustrated embodiment, theglass 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, theadhesive member 35 can be used repeatedly. In the illustrated embodiment, theadhesive member 35 is substantially a rectangular ring corresponding to thepositioning portion 312 of theplastic frame 31. - The
device housing 30 can be integrally formed by molding as follows: printing theadhesive member 35 on the edge of theglass plate 33 and drying theadhesive member 35; positioning theglass plate 33 in the injection mold; injecting melted plastic material to theside surface 333 of theglass plate 33 to form theplastic frame 31, and theadhesive member 35 generating adhesion in damp and high temperature conditions; cooling the device housing 30 and theplastic frame 31 contacting theglass plate 33 with no gap, with theadhesive member 35 sandwiched between theplastic frame 31 and theglass plate 33 to enhance connection strength therebetween. - Since the
plastic frame 31 and theglass plate 33 are integrally formed via the injection mold, no gap is formed therebetween and a top surface of theglass plate 33 can align with a top surface of theplastic frame 31. Thus, the device housing 30 presents an unspoiled appearance. In addition, theadhesive member 35 is printed on theglass plate 33 and thedevice housing 30 is integrally formed, thus manufacturing efficiency is greatly improved. - It should be pointed out that the
plastic frame 31 and theglass plate 33 may be other shapes, for example, theglass plate 33 may be an ellipse, and theplastic frame 31 an ellipsular ring. In addition, thechamfer angle 338 may be formed on an edge of thefirst surface 331 or thesecond surface 332. - Referring to
FIGS. 4 through 6 , a second embodiment of adevice housing 50 is integrally formed by aplastic frame 51, aglass plate 53, anadhesive member 55, and a plurality of fasteningmembers 57. Theplastic frame 51, theglass plate 53, and theadhesive member 55 have a similar structure to the first embodiment of theplastic frame 31, theglass plate 33, and theadhesive member 35 of the device housing 30 respectively. - Each fastening
member 57 includes amain body 571 and ahook portion 573 extending from an end of themain body 571. Each fasteningmember 57 defines one or more connectingholes 575. The one or more connectingholes 575 is configured for allowing molten plastic material therethrough in an injection process. The connectingholes 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 theadhesive member 55 on the edge of theglass plate 53 and drying theadhesive member 55; positioning theglass plate 53 and thefastening members 57 in the injection mold, thefastening members 57 corresponding to the edge of theglass plate 53, and thehook portion 573 attached to theadhesive member 55; injecting melted plastic material to theside surface 533 of theglass plate 53 and thefastening members 57 to form theplastic frame 51, and theadhesive member 55 generating adhesion in damp and high temperature conditions; cooling thedevice housing 30, with theplastic frame 31 connecting theglass plate 33 and thefastening members 57 with no gap, and theadhesive member 35 sandwiched between theplastic frame 31, theglass plate 33, and thefastening members 57 to enhance a connecting strength therebetween. Thedevice housing 50 also presents an unspoiled appearance, and is easily manufactured. Thefastening 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 theadhesive member 55 and thefastening members 57. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , a third embodiment of adevice housing 70 is integrally formed by aplastic frame 71, aglass plate 73, anadhesive member 75, and a plurality offastening members 77. Thedevice housing 70 differs from thedevice housing 50 of the second embodiment only in that theglass plate 73 defines anannular receiving groove 735 on an edge of asecond surface 732. Theadhesive member 75 is received in the receivinggroove 735. A thickness of thedevice housing 70 can be less than that of thedevice housing 50 because theadhesive member 75 is received in the receivinggroove 735. Alternatively, theglass plate 73 can define the receivinggroove 735 in the side surface. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , a fourth embodiment of adevice housing 90 is integrally formed by aplastic frame 91, aglass plate 93, an adhesive member 975, and a plurality offastening members 97. Thedevice housing 90 differs from thedevice housing 50 of the second embodiment only in that theglass plate 93 forms a connectingsurface 935 on an edge of afirst surface 931. Theplastic frame 91 forms a connectingportion 919 on the connectingsurface 935. In the illustrated embodiment, the connectingsurface 935 is angled. Structural integrity of thedevice housing 90 is better than that ofhousing 50 of the second embodiment because theplastic frame 91 has a connectingportion 919 positioned on the connectingsurface 935 of theglass 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.
