Abstract
A front case at a display section side of frame shape is formed of metal material having strength and a bathtub-shaped draw frame formed by drawing metal plate is fixed at the external side of the front case at the display section side by heat adhesive to be integral with the front case at the display section side. Two L-shaped frames formed by bending metal plate materials are fixed at the internal side of the front case at the display section side by two heat adhesives to be integral with the front case at the display section side. The front case at the display section side, the two L-shaped frames, and the bathtub-shaped draw frame are integral with each other to have sandwich structure.

A portable terminal equipment comprising:
- a plurality of housing parts including a particular housing part;
- an L-shaped frame made of a metal plate adhered to and fixed on an internal surface of said particular housing part such that said metal plate is integral with said particular housing part;
- a bathtub-shaped draw frame made of a metal plate adhered to and fixed on an external surface of said particular housing part such that said metal plate is integral with said particular housing part,
- wherein said particular housing part has a sandwich structure due to said metal plate of which said L-shaped frame is made and said metal plate of which said bathtub-shaped draw frame is made being integral with said particular housing part,
- said bathtub-shaped draw frame comprises a central portion which forms a bathtub section having a U-shaped cross section, and an end portion which is protruded from an opening side edge portion of a side face of said bathtub section to form a L-shaped cross section together with the side face of the bathtub section, and
- said L-shaped frame is adhered and fixed along with an angle portion of an internal surface of said housing part, and the end portion of said bathtub-shaped draw frame is adhered and fixed along with an angle portion of an external surface of said housing part,
- wherein
- said housing part is located at both end portions of said portable terminal equipment, and
- one said L-shaped frame is adhered and fixed along with an angle portion of an internal surface of said housing part at one end portion, and
- the other said L-shaped frame is adhered and fixed along with an angle portion of an internal surface of said housing part at the other end portion, and
- one end portion of said bathtub-shaped draw frame is adhered and fixed alone with an angle portion of an internal surface of said housing part at one end portion, and
- the other end portion of said bathtub-shaped draw frame is adhered and fixed along with an angle portion of an internal surface of said housing part at the other end portion.
