Antenna pattern frame, method and mold for manufacturing the same, electronic device case having antenna pattern frame embedded therein, and method for manufacturing the same

A mold for manufacturing an antenna pattern frame, the mold comprising:

• an upper or lower mold receiving an antenna radiator including an antenna pattern portion receiving an external signal and a connection terminal portion transmitting the external signal to an electronic device, the antenna pattern portion and the connection terminal portion being arranged in different planes;
• a resin material injection portion provided through the upper mold, the lower mold, or the upper and lower molds, the resin material injection portion through which a resin material is injected into an inner space created between the upper and lower molds so that the resin material filling the inner space therebetween forms a radiator frame having the antenna radiator on a surface thereof when the upper and lower molds are joined;
• and
• a guide boss forming portion formed in the upper or lower mold, the guide boss forming portion in which a guide boss protruding from the radiator frame is formed while the radiator frame is formed in the inner space.

A method of manufacturing an electronic device case, the method comprising:

• placing an antenna pattern frame in an inner space of a mold for manufacturing an electronic device case, the antenna pattern frame including an antenna radiator including an antenna pattern portion receiving an external signal and a connection terminal portion transmitting the external signal to an electronic device, the antenna pattern portion and the connection terminal portion being arranged in different planes;
• placing a guide boss formed on the antenna pattern frame to make contact with or form a fine gap with one inner side of the mold for manufacturing an electronic device case, so that the antenna pattern frame is prevented from moving vertically in the mold for manufacturing an electronic device case;
• and
• injecting a resin material in the inner space of the mold for manufacturing an electronic device to form an electronic device case having the antenna pattern portion embedded therein, wherein the resin material is injected at a temperature at which an end portion of the guide boss contacting the mold is melted.

An electronic device case comprising:

• an antenna radiator including an antenna pattern portion receiving an external signal and a connection terminal portion transmitting the external signal to an electronic device, the antenna pattern portion and the connection terminal portion being arranged in different planes;
• a radiator a frame supporting the antenna radiator and including a guide boss protruding from the radiator frame;
• and
• an exterior portion covering the radiator frame and having a boundary with the guide boss underneath a surface of the exterior portion.
