Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a body having a passage, a physical button having a rod passing through the passage, an inner surface having a first convex surface and a second convex surface formed to be spaced apart from the first convex surface, a through-hole formed by the inner surface, an outer surface having a third convex surface and a protruding surface formed to be spaced apart from the third convex surface, a bottom surface formed between the inner surface and the outer surface, and a waterproof member having a fourth convex surface formed in the direction facing the bottom surface, wherein the waterproof member is arranged between the body and the rod.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a body having a passage;
- a physical button comprising a rod extending through the passage;
- and
- a waterproof member comprising:
- an inner surface which comprises a first convex surface, a second convex surface formed to have a gap with the first convex surface, and a first concave surface positioned between the first convex surface and the second convex surface,
- a penetration hole formed by the inner surface,
- an outer surface comprising a third convex surface, a protruding surface formed to have a gap with the third convex surface, and a second concave surface positioned between the third convex surface and the protruding surface,
- a lower surface formed between the inner surface and the outer surface, and
- a fourth convex surface formed in a direction opposite to the lower surface,
- wherein the waterproof member is disposed between the body and the rod,
- wherein the rod is inserted through the penetration hole,
- wherein the waterproof member is disposed such that the first convex surface and the second convex surface are in close contact with the rod,
- wherein the third convex surface and the protruding surface are in close contact with one surface of the body, and
- wherein the first concave surface overlaps the second concave surface in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the rod is inserted through the penetration hole.
A waterproof member comprising:
- an inner surface which comprises a first convex surface, a second convex surface formed to have a gap with the first convex surface, and a first concave surface positioned between the first convex surface and the second convex surface;
- a penetration hole formed by the inner surface;
- an outer surface comprising a third convex surface, a protruding surface formed to have a gap with the third convex surface, and a second concave surface positioned between the third convex surface and the protruding surface;
- a lower surface formed between the inner surface and the outer surface;
- and
- a fourth convex surface formed in a direction opposite to the lower surface,
- wherein the first concave surface overlaps the second concave surface in a direction from the inner surface to the outer surface.
