Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface includes a protrusion. The second surface includes a first recess opposite the protrusion and a second recess adjacent to the first recess. The second recess has substantially the same shape as the first recess.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising a housing comprising a wall,
the wall comprising:
an inner surface exposed in the housing, the inner surface comprising a protrusion toward an inside of the housing, the protrusion comprising a hole, a first side, a second side back of the first side, a first portion between the hole and the first side, and a second portion between the hole and the second side, the hole configured to receive a fixing member; and
an outer surface back of the inner surface and exposed to an outside of the housing, the outer surface comprising a first groove, a second groove near the first groove, and a third groove near the second groove, the first groove located back of the first portion of the protrusion, the second groove located back of the second portion of the protrusion and not located back of the hole, the third groove located back of an area without the protrusion, the first groove, the second groove and the third groove at least partially having the same shape, the second groove having substantially the same width as the second portion of the protrusion.
2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the inner surface and the outer surface are integral with each other.
3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the first groove and the first portion of the protrusion have substantially the same width, and the first groove is not located back of the hole.
4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the protrusion is integral with the wall.
5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the first groove is recessed from the outer surface toward the protrusion.
6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the fixing member is a screw, and
the protrusion is a boss for attachment of the screw.
7. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the first, second, and third grooves are spaced at substantially equal distances and extend substantially parallel to each other.
8. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the inner surface comprises a flat portion, and
the third groove is back of the flat portion.
9. An electronic apparatus comprising a housing comprising a wall,
the wall comprising:
an inner surface exposed in the housing the inner surface comprising a protrusion protruding obliquely from the inner surface toward an inside of the housing, the protrusion comprising a hole a first side, a first portion between the hole and the first side, and a boundary area between the protrusion and the wall, the hole configured to receive a fixing member, the boundary area being an ellipse and extending in an inclined direction of the protrusion; and
an outer surface back of the inner surface and exposed to an outside of the housing, the outer surface comprising a first groove and a second groove near the first groove, the first groove located back of the first portion of the protrusion, the second groove located back of the protrusion, the first and second grooves located back of the boundary area and extending in a longitudinal direction of the ellipse of the boundary area, the first groove and the second groove at least partially having the same shape.
10. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein
the inner surface and the outer surface are integral with each other.
11. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein
the first groove and the first portion of the protrusion have substantially the same width, and
the first groove is not located back of the hole.
12. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein
the protrusion is integral with the wall.
13. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein
the first groove is recessed from the outer surface toward the protrusion.
14. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein
the fixing member is a screw, and
the protrusion is a boss for attachment of the screw.Cited by (0)
