Abstract

There is provided an electronic device includes a casing; a substrate which is arranged inside the casing, and provided with a fixation hole; a fixation member which is integrally formed with the casing, and inserted into the fixation hole of the casing, and positioned therein so that an outer periphery thereof is apart from an inner periphery of the fixation hole; and a first elastic body which is disposed in a surrounding area of the fixation hole, and sandwiched between the casing and a front surface of the substrate.

Claims (16)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a casing;

a substrate which is arranged inside the casing, and provided with a fixation hole;

a fixation member which is integrally formed with the casing, and inserted into the fixation hole of the substrate, and positioned therein so that an outer periphery thereof is apart from an inner periphery of the fixation hole, the inner periphery of the fixation hole surrounding the outer periphery of the fixation member while having a space therebetween; and a first elastic body which is disposed in a surrounding area of the fixation hole, and sandwiched between the casing and a front surface of the substrate, wherein a top surface of the fixation member is coplanar with a front surface of the first elastic body.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second elastic body which is disposed in a surrounding area of the fixation hole, and sandwiched between the casing and a back surface of the substrate.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fixation member comprises a first fixation member and a second fixation member;

wherein a tip of the first fixation member protrudes from the substrate in a state where the first fixation member is inserted into the fixation hole; and

wherein a part of the second fixation member faces to the first fixation member, and the first or the second elastic body is disposed between the part of the second fixation member and the substrate.

4. The electronic device according to claim 2 ,

wherein a part of the fixation member is a stepped boss integrally formed with the casing, and

wherein the first or the second elastic body is disposed between a step surface of the stepped boss and the substrate.

5. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein a notch oriented to a predetermined direction is formed in at least one of the first and the second elastic bodies.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixation member is a protection member configured to cover and protect at least a part of the front surface of the substrate.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes three fixation holes which are not in alignment with each other in a plane view, at least a major portion of a Central Processing Unit is arranged within a triangular region formed by the three fixation holes.
