Abstract

An electronic device including: a protrusion portion that projects towards a bottom face of a groove from the opposite side face of a second hook portion, that is inserted into the groove, and that makes close contact with a sealing material; and a cut-away portion that is formed to a side wall portion positioned further to the casing inside out of a pair of side wall portions forming the groove, the cut-away portion being formed at a position corresponding to a first hook portion.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a first case;

a second case that together with the first case forms a casing;

a groove that is formed in the first case and that extends along a peripheral part of the first case;

a viscous sealing material filled in the groove;

a first wall portion that is formed to the first case further to the casing outside than the groove and that extends along the peripheral part of the first case;

a second wall portion that is formed to the second case further to the casing inside than the groove and that extends along the first wall portion;

a plurality of first hook portions that are formed at intervals in a direction along the peripheral part of the first case and that project towards a side of the second wall portion from the first wall portion;

a second hook portion that projects towards a side of the first wall portion from the second wall portion, that fits together with the plurality of first hook portions from a side of the groove, and that makes close contact with the sealing material at an opposite side face to a fitting face with the plurality of first hook portions;

a protrusion portion that projects towards a bottom face of the groove from the opposite side face of the second hook portion, that is inserted into the groove, and that makes close contact with the sealing material; and

a plurality of cut-away portion portions that are formed to the side wall portion positioned further to the casing inside out of a pair of side wall portions forming the groove, that are formed at positions corresponding to each of the plurality of first hook portions in a direction along the peripheral part of the first case, and that penetrate in a projection direction of the plurality of first hook portions.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:

the groove is formed in a ring shape around a peripheral edge portion of the first case;

the sealing material is filled around the entire perimeter of the groove; and

a finishing point portion of the sealing material that bulges out from the groove through the cut-away portion towards the casing inside overlaps with a starting point portion of the sealing material positioned inside the groove.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion portion is inserted into a central portion inside the groove between the pair of side wall portions.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the protrusion portion projects straight towards the bottom face of the groove.

5. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein a leading end face of the protrusion portion is formed by a curved protruding face that forms a protrusion towards the bottom face side of the groove.
