Abstract

A portable terminal housing includes a first housing body, a second housing body engaged with the first housing body, a middle frame, and a ring cushion coiled around the middle frame. The first housing body and second housing body can cooperatively form a receiving cavity. The middle frame and ring cushion are positioned in the receiving cavity. The middle frame resists against the inner surface of the first housing body and second housing body by the ring cushion. The middle frame covers a joint of the first housing body and second housing body.

Claims (41)
