The first casing has a bottom wall. The bottom wall has swelling portion which swells outward and contains at least part of the speaker housing.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a speaker device including a speaker main body and a speaker housing which houses the speaker main body; and

a casing which houses the speaker device and has a bottom wall, the bottom wall having a swelling portion which protrudes outward and contains at least one part of the speaker housing,

wherein the speaker housing has a height which enables a clearance for receiving a component to be defined between a top wall of the casing and the speaker housing.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the component is a printed circuit board.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the top wall includes a boss portion extending toward a top side of the speaker housing.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 further comprising a cushioning material provided between the boss portion and the speaker housing.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 further comprising a first cushioning material provided between the boss portion and the top side of the speaker housing.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 further comprising a second cushioning material provided adjacent to a side wall of the speaker housing and interposed between an edge of the component and the speaker housing.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a second clearance area is formed between the edge of the component and the boss portion.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the component is a printed circuit board.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the swelling portion is formed by outwardly extending part of the bottom wall.

10. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a casing including a top wall and a bottom wall, a part of the bottom wall is extended outwardly to form a swelling portion; and

a speaker device housed within the casing, the speaker device including (i) a speaker main body and (ii) a speaker housing that is at least partially contained within the swelling portion of the casing and houses the speaker main body, the speaker housing having a height that provides a clearance between the top wall of the casing and the speaker housing for receiving a component.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the component is a printed circuit board.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the top wall includes a boss portion extending toward a top side of the speaker housing.

13. The electronic apparatus of claim 12 further comprising a cushioning material provided between the boss portion and the speaker housing.

14. The electronic apparatus of claim 12 further comprising a first cushioning material provided between the boss portion and the top side of the speaker housing.

15. The electronic apparatus of claim 14 further comprising a second cushioning material provided adjacent to a side wall of the speaker housing and interposed between an edge of the component and the speaker housing.

16. The electronic apparatus of claim 15 , wherein a second clearance area is formed between the edge of the component and the boss portion.

17. The electronic apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the component is a printed circuit board.

18. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a casing including a top wall and a bottom wall, the bottom wall including a swelling portion that is formed by outwardly extending a part of the bottom wall; and

a speaker device housed within the casing, the speaker device including (i) a speaker main body and (ii) a speaker housing that is at least partially contained within the swelling portion of the casing and houses the speaker main body, the speaker housing having a height that provides a clearance between the top wall of the casing and the speaker housing for receiving a component.

19. The electronic apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the component is a printed circuit board.
