Abstract

Provided is an electronic apparatus that includes an apparatus body, a first window portion, a second window member, and a support member. The apparatus body includes a first image-capturing section, a second image-capturing section, and a housing that includes an attachment hole through which the first image-capturing section and the second image-capturing section are exposed. The first window portion covers the first image-capturing section, and the second window member includes a second window portion that covers the second image-capturing section. The support member includes a first support that includes a first support base that supports a peripheral edge portion of the first window portion; and a second support that is formed integrally with the first support base. The first support includes an annular portion that is provided to a peripheral edge of the first support base and arranged between the first support base and the second support.

Claims (42)

1 . An electronic apparatus, comprising:

an apparatus body that includes:

a first image-capturing section,

a second image-capturing section, and

a housing that includes an attachment hole through which the first image-capturing section and the second image-capturing section are exposed;

a first window portion configured to cover the first image-capturing section;

a first window member that includes a second window portion, wherein the second window portion is configured to cover the second image-capturing section; and

a support member that includes:

a first support that includes a first support base, wherein

the first support base is configured to support a peripheral edge portion of the first window portion, and

the first support is configured to close the attachment hole, and

a second support that is integral with the first support base, wherein

the second support is configured to support a peripheral edge portion of the first window member,

the second support is configured to close the attachment hole, and

the first support includes an annular portion, wherein

the annular portion is on a peripheral edge of the first support base, and

the annular portion is between the first support base and the second support.

2 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a first height at which the first support is situated from the housing is greater than a second height at which the second support is situated from the housing.

3 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a base member obtained based on integration of the first support base and the second support, wherein

the first support base and the annular portion are different components, and

the annular portion is an annular component that is assembled to the base member.

4 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the annular portion further includes an inclination portion, and

the inclination portion is in contact with the second support, as viewed from a direction of an optical axis of the first image-capturing section.

5 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the attachment hole further includes;

a first hole, wherein the first hole is circular,

a second hole that protrudes from the first hole toward a first diameter direction of the first hole, and

a third hole that protrudes from the first hole toward a second diameter direction of the first hole that is opposite to the first diameter direction, wherein

each of the second hole and the third hole has a width smaller than a length of a diameter of the first hole.

6 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

the apparatus body including

a third image-capturing section, and

the housing including the attachment hole through which the third image-capturing section is exposed;

a second window member that includes a third window portion, wherein the third window portion is configured to cover the third image-capturing section; and

the support member including a third support, wherein

the third support is integral with the first support base,

the third support is configured to support a peripheral edge portion of the second window member,

the third support is configured to close the attachment hole, the first support includes the annular portion,

the annular portion is on the peripheral edge of the first support base, and

the annular portion is between the first support base and the third support.
