US 7,733,642 B2 · Waterproof casing for a flat panel display

Abstract

A waterproof casing includes a first casing having a first base wall and a first surrounding wall, and a second casing having a second base wall and a second surrounding wall. The first surrounding wall surrounds a periphery of the first base wall to cooperatively define a first receiving recess therewith, and has a first wall surface confronting the first receiving recess, and a first groove provided in the first wall surface. The second surrounding wall is connected to the second base wall proximate to the first surrounding wall to cooperatively define a second receiving recess therewith, and has a second wall surface outwardly of the second receiving recess, and a second groove provided in the second wall surface and corresponding to the first groove. A resilient member is fitted between and closes the first and second grooves. The first and second receiving recesses cooperatively receive a flat panel display.

Dependent claims

A waterproof casing for a flat panel display, comprising:

a first casing including
a first base wall, and
a first surrounding wall surrounding a peripheral edge of said first base wall and cooperating with said first base wall to define a first receiving recess, said first surrounding wall having a first wall surface confronting said first receiving recess and a first groove provided in said first wall surface;
a second casing including
a second base wall spaced apart from said first base wall, and
a second surrounding wall extending along a peripheral edge of said second base wall and toward said first surrounding wall, and cooperating with said second base wall to define a second receiving recess, said second surrounding wall having a second wall surface outwardly of said second receiving recess, and a second groove provided in said second wall surface and corresponding to said first groove;
and
a surrounding resilient member fitted between and closing said first and second grooves such that said first and second receiving recesses are adapted to cooperatively receive the flat panel display.
