An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a housing including a keyboard mounting portion, the housing including at least one slot provided in the keyboard mounting portion, the at least one slot being sized for a portion of a keyboard to be inserted into the at least one slot;
- and
- a waterproof portion placed along a lower portion of the slot of the housing so as to prevent liquid that enters into the slot from leaking in a downward direction, both the waterproof portion and the housing, including a wall of the keyboard mounting portion, form a liquid storage portion for storing the liquid entering into the slot.
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a housing including a keyboard mounting portion and an upper housing extending into an area occupied by the keyboard mounting portion to create at least one slot formed by the upper housing and a bottom wall of the keyboard mounting portion;
- a circuit board positioned inside the housing and under the keyboard mounting portion;
- and
- a liquid impermeable sheet positioned under the bottom wall and extending partially under the upper housing, the sheet configured to insulate the circuit board from the keyboard mounting portion and to provide a liquid storage portion within the at least one slot thereby preventing liquid entering through the at least one slot from leaking in a downward direction.
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a housing including a keyboard mounting portion, the keyboard mounting portion including a bottom wall that is forwardly inclined so as to be downward sloping and at least one slot;
- a keyboard including keys and at least one convex portion protruding from a front end of the keyboard for insertion into the at least one slot of the keyboard mounting portion;
- and
- a waterproof sheet placed below the keyboard mounting portion and forming a lower surface of the slot so as to prevent liquid that enters into the slot via the keyboard from leaking in a downward direction, the waterproof sheet and the bottom wall of the keyboard mounting portion partially forming a liquid storage portion for storing the liquid entering into the slot.
