Abstract
A device case includes a resin case body having an opening which is disposed on a viewing face of the case body and a step which is disposed on an interior of the opening and protruding further to the interior than an inner face of the opening. The device case further includes a windproof member having an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the opening of the case body and larger than an inner diameter of the step; and an adhesive section bonding and fixing the windproof member at a position to seal the opening of the case body. The adhesive section has higher flexibility than the case body.
Claims6
A device case comprising:
- a resin case body comprising:
- an inner face defining an opening, the opening being disposed on a viewing face of the case body;
- and
- a step disposed on an interior of the opening, the step protruding from the inner face in a direction away from the inner face and further towards the interior of the opening;
- a windproof member having an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the opening of the case body and larger than an inner diameter of the step;
- and
- one or more adhesives for bonding and fixing the windproof member at a position to seal the opening of the case body,
- wherein a flexibility of the one or more adhesives is higher than a flexibility of the case body;
- wherein the one or more adhesives comprises:
- a lateral adhesive for bonding the inner face of the case body to an outer face of the windproof member to fix the windproof member to the case body;
- and
- a lower adhesive for bonding at least a portion of an upper face of the step to a corresponding portion of a lower face of the windproof member;
- one of an upper face depression or an upper face groove is disposed on at least the portion of the upper face of the step, and
- the lower adhesive is disposed in the one of the upper face depression or the upper face groove.
