Abstract
A protective casing structure of an electronic apparatus capable of keeping the apparatus compact and light is provided. A display-side block includes a display module and a display casing. The display casing is provided with frame edges at a periphery thereof, with projections formed on the frame edges. Grooves engaging with the projections are formed in a system casing. When the display-side block is closed, the projections engage with the grooves to increase rigidity against pressing from the outside in the closed state. The casing structure thereby increases the protective capability of the display module while keeping the apparatus compact and light.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a display casing having an attachment surface, bent edges extended from said from said attachment surface, said bent edges including a support surface and at least one integral projection formed on said bent edges of the display casing;
- and
- a system casing having at least one integral groove therein that engages with the at least one integral projection of the display casing upon said display casing being placed in a closed position.
An apparatus comprising:
- a system casing having at least one integral projection formed on an edge of the system casing;
- and
- a display casing having an attachment surface, bent edges extended from said from said attachment surface, said bent edges including a support surface and at least one integral groove therein formed in said bent edges that engages with the at least one integral projection of the system casing upon said display casing being placed in a closed position.
An apparatus comprising:
- a display casing comprising a continuous structure protecting a display panel and defining a first space between said display panel and said display casing, the display casing having an attachment surface, bent edges extended from said from said attachment surface, said bent edges including a support surface and comprising one or more of:
- one or more projections integrally formed on said bent edges of said display casing;
- and
- one or more integral grooves formed in bent edges of said display casing;
- and
- a system casing housing one or more system components and comprising one or more of:
- one or more projections formed on said system casing;
- and
- one or more grooves formed in said system casing;
- wherein said display casing defines a second space between said display panel and said system casing in a closed position.
