## Abstract

A housing device includes a first housing body. The first housing body includes a first housing seat and a first combination structure. The first housing seat has a first bottom surface, a first wall and an extension wall. The first wall and the extension wall are respectively extended from the first bottom surface in a direction away from the first bottom surface, and the extension wall is located at an inner side of the first wall and higher than the first wall. The first combination structure includes a hook, a base and a first bump provided as an energy director. The hook is disposed at a side of the extension wall facing the first wall. The base is protruded from the first wall and located below the hook correspondingly, and the first bump is disposed on the base.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A housing device with combination structures including a first housing body, the first housing body comprising:
a first housing seat having a first bottom surface, a first wall, an extension wall, and a groove located between the extension wall and the first wall, the first wall and the extension wall respectively extended from the first bottom surface in a direction away from the first bottom surface, and the extension wall located at an inner side of the first wall and being higher than the first wall;
a first combination structure including a hook, a base and a first bump provided as an energy director; the hook disposed at a side of the extension wall facing the first wall; the base protruded from the first wall and located below the hook correspondingly, and the first bump disposed on the base; and
a second housing body, the second housing body including:
a second housing seat having a second bottom surface and a second wall, the second wall extended from the second bottom surface in a direction away from the second bottom surface; a top surface of the second wall being provided with a second bump as an energy director, and the second bump embedded in the groove of the first housing body; and
a second combination structure including a slot disposed at the second wall and an abutting block located at a side of the slot.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The housing device with combination structures according to claim 1, wherein the base has an inclined surface, and the first bump is disposed on the inclined surface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The housing device with combination structures according to claim 1, wherein the first combination structure further includes a reinforcing rib positioned at a side of the extension wall away from the first wall and disposed at a location corresponding to the hook.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The housing device with combination structures according to claim 3,
wherein the second housing body engages the hook of the first housing body through the slot and abuts the base of the first housing body through the abutting block.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The housing device with combination structures according to claim 4, wherein the first housing body and the second housing body are held together by ultrasonic welding; the base and the abutting block are bonded through melting the first bump; the first wall and the second wall are bonded through melting the second bump.

### Claim 6

A housing device with combination structures including a first housing body, the first housing body comprising:
a first housing seat having a first bottom surface, a first wall, and a groove located at an outer side of the first wall, the first wall extended from the first bottom surface in a direction away from the first bottom surface;
a first combination structure including a hook, a base and a first bump provided as an energy director; the hook protruding from the first wall; the base protruded from the first wall and located below the hook correspondingly, and the first bump disposed on the base; and
a second housing body, the second housing body including:
a second housing seat having a second bottom surface and a second wall, the second wall extended from the second bottom surface in a direction away from the second bottom surface; a top surface of the second wall being provided with a second bump as an energy director, and the second bump embedded in the groove of the first housing body; and
a second combination structure including a slot disposed at the second wall and an abutting block located at a side of the slot.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)
