Housing, double-sided adhesive tape, and electronic apparatus
A housing includes a first case and a second case configured to be joined together to make a housing space; and a double-sided adhesive member having a first surface and a second surface, the double-sided adhesive member including an impermeable, elastic base material, and a plurality of binder layers formed on either surface of the base material, the binder layers on the first and second surfaces being bonded to the first and second cases, respectively, wherein an adhesive force between the first case and the first surface of the double-sided adhesive member is greater on an outer side of the first case than on an inner side of the first case, and wherein an adhesive force between the second case and the second surface of the double-sided adhesive member is greater on an inner side of the second case than on an outer side of the second case.
1. A housing comprising:
a first case and a second case configured to be joined together to make a housing space; and
a double-sided adhesive member having a first surface and a second surface, the double-sided adhesive member including an impermeable, elastic base material, and a plurality of binder layers formed on either surface of the base material, the binder layers on the first and second surfaces being bonded to the first and second cases, respectively,
wherein an adhesive force between the first case and the first surface of the double-sided adhesive member is greater on an outer side of the first case than on an inner side of the first case, and
wherein an adhesive force between the second case and the second surface of the double-sided adhesive member is greater on an inner side of the second case than on an outer side of the second case.
2. The housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the double-sided adhesive member, an area on the first surface which has a smaller adhesive force overlaps an area on the second surface which has a smaller adhesive force.
3. The housing according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a projection piece provided in one of the first and second cases, and
a latch portion provided in the other of the first and second cases, the latch portion being configured to latch onto the projection piece,
wherein as a set value of a clearance between the projection piece and the latch portion in a predetermined initial state is increased, an amount of the overlap of the areas having a lower adhesive force is set to be larger.
4. The housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein on a surface of the first case which opposes the double-sided adhesive member, an area that corresponds to an outer side of the first case has a surface roughness smaller than an area that corresponds to an inner side of the first case, and
wherein on a surface of the second case which opposes the double-sided adhesive member, an area that corresponds to an outer side of the second case has a surface roughness greater than an area that corresponds to an inner side of the second case.
5. The housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein the base material of the double-sided adhesive member is formed in a shape of a closed loop,
wherein on one of the binder layers which is formed on the first surface, an area which corresponds to an outer circumferential portion of the closed loop has an adhesive force greater than an area which corresponds to an inner circumferential portion thereof, and
wherein on one of the binder layers which is formed on the second surface, an area which corresponds to an inner circumferential portion of the closed loop has an adhesive force greater than an area which corresponds to an outer circumferential portion thereof.
6. The housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein on a surface of the first case which opposes the double-sided adhesive member, an area which corresponds to an inner side of the first case has been subjected to a coating process of reducing an adhesive force of the double-sided adhesive member, and
wherein on a surface of the second case which opposes the double-sided adhesive member, an area which corresponds to an outer side of the first case has been subjected to a coating process of reducing an adhesive force of the double-sided adhesive member.
7. An electronic apparatus comprising a housing,
wherein the housing includes:
a first case and a second case configured to be joined together to make a housing space; and
a double-sided adhesive member having a first surface and a second surface, the double-sided adhesive member including an impermeable, elastic base material, and a plurality of binder layers formed on either surface of the base material, the binder layers on the first and second surfaces being bonded to the first and second cases, respectively,
wherein an adhesive force between the first case and the first surface of the double-sided adhesive member is greater on an outer side of the first case than on an inner side of the first case,
wherein an adhesive force between the second case and the second surface of the double-sided adhesive member is greater on an inner side of the second case than on an outer side of the second case,
wherein an electronic component is contained in a housing space defined by the housing.
