Abstract

An electronic device includes: a first housing 1 ; a cover 11 capable of covering a portion of the first housing 1 to be covered; and a waterproofing member 12 placed around the portion to be covered. The cover 11 is displaceable between a closed position at which the cover covers the portion to be covered and an open position at which the cover opens the portion to be covered. The cover 11 is in contact with the waterproofing member 12 when it is at the closed position. Even if the number of terminals increases, since the waterproofing member 12 is provided on the first housing 1 , the single waterproofing member can render all of the terminals waterproof. Thus, it is possible to reduce the number of components and to reduce the number of assembling steps.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An electronic device comprising:
 a housing;   a cover capable of covering a portion of the housing to be covered; and   a waterproofing member placed around the portion to be covered,   wherein the cover is displaceable between a closed position at which the cover covers the portion to be covered and an open position at which the cover opens the portion to be covered, and   the cover is in contact with the waterproofing member when the cover is at the closed position.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the waterproofing member has elasticity, and   when the cover is at the closed position, the cover is in contact with the waterproofing member and deforms the waterproofing member.   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein a protection member is provided on the waterproofing member at a part with which the cover can come into contact. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the portion to be covered includes a main portion and a subportion to be covered, and   the waterproofing member is placed around the main portion and the subportion to be covered.
