Abstract

A device housing includes a glass plate and a plastic frame. The glass plate is received in the plastic frame. The glass plate forms a positioning surface in an edge. The plastic frame and the glass plate are integrally formed, thus the plastic frame connects the glass plate with no gap, and the plastic frame forms a connecting portion combined with the positioning surface.

Claims (15)

1. A device housing, comprising:

a glass plate; and

a plastic frame for receiving the glass plate, the glass plate forming at least one positioning surface in an edge, wherein the glass plate comprises a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a side surface between the first surface and the second surface, the at least one positioning surface being defined at the edge of the first surface and connects the side surface;

wherein the plastic frame and the glass plate are integrally formed, the plastic frame forms a connecting portion combined with the at least one positioning surface, and the at least one positioning surface comprises a first positioning surface and a second positioning surface obliquely connecting with the first positioning surface.

2. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface is roughened.

3. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface defines a plurality of connecting holes engaging with the connecting portion.

4. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the plastic frame comprises a side frame on an inner surface of which the connecting portion is formed.

5. The device housing of claim 4 , wherein the side frame forms a positioning portion on the inner surface, and the positioning portion, the side frame, and the connecting portion cooperatively define a receiving groove to receive the glass plate.

6. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein a chamber chamfer angle is formed at the edge of the glass plate, and connects the second surface with the side surface.

7. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein a periphery of the first surface is coated with printing ink to form a light shielding portion and a light guiding portion surrounded by the light shielding portion.

8. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the plastic frame comprises nylon and fiberglass.

9. The device housing of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of metal members integrally formed with the plastic frame.

10. The device housing of claim 9 , wherein each metal member comprises a main body and a hook portion extending from an end of the main body, the hook portion engaging with the plastic frame.

11. The device housing of claim 9 , wherein each metal member defines at least one connecting hole for partly receiving the plastic frame.

12. The device housing of claim 9 , wherein the metal member is stainless steel.
