Abstract

A sealing structure to seal housings includes a sealing member disposed between housings to be bonded to allow penetration of at least one signal line; and an adhesive material disposed between the signal lines penetrating the sealing member to bond the signal lines to be overlapped.

Claims (31)

1. A sealing structure to seal housings comprising:

a sealing member disposed between housings to be bonded to allow penetration of signal lines; and

an adhesive material disposed between the signal lines penetrating the sealing member to bond the signal lines to be overlapped, the adhesive material is disposed at a position where the signal lines and the sealing member are overlapped.

2. The sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein

the adhesive material has a width same as or different from a width of the signal lines.

3. The sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein

the signal line is arranged in a direction crossing the sealing member.

4. The sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein

the signal line has a plate shape with a width greater than a thickness thereof and is arranged with plate surfaces thereof facing a compression direction of the sealing member.

5. The sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein

the signal line is a flat cable.

6. The sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein

the adhesive material is a sticky material or a double-faced adhesive seat.

7. The sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein

the sealing member is provided at one end or both ends of the signal line.

8. A gasket comprising the sealing structure of claim 1 .

9. An electronic device comprising the gasket of claim 8 .

10. An electronic device comprising the sealing structure of claim 1 .

11. An electronic device comprising:

a housing unit to include a first housing and a second housing bonded with the first housing;

a circuit unit disposed in the housing unit;

a first cable and a second cable connected to the circuit unit and drawn out of the housing unit;

a sealing member provided between the first housing and the second housing and penetrated by the first cable and the second cable; and

an adhesive material provided between the first cable and the second cable to bond the first cable and the second cable at a position where the first cable, the second cable and the sealing member are overlapped.

12. A sealing method to seal housings comprising:

overlapping signal lines to be disposed between housings to bond the signal lines with an adhesive material; and

allowing of the bonded signal lines to penetrate a sealing member to dispose in the sealing member a portion where the signal lines are bonded with the adhesive material, and dispose the sealing member between the housings.

13. A manufacturing method of a gasket to seal housings comprising:

disposing an adhesive material between signal lines in an overlapped manner to bond the signal lines; and

forming a sealing member allowing penetration of the bonded signal lines,

wherein a portion where the signal lines are bonded with the adhesive material is disposed in the sealing member.
