The waterproof sheet is formed with a curved shaped or step-like cross-section in consideration of characteristic of internal component or a battery arranged on the first body portion of the mobile terminal, the curved shaped or step-like cross-section is configured to encase, in part or in whole, the internal component or the battery.
1. A terminal, comprising:
a first body portion;
a waterproof member connected to the first body portion;
a first component arranged on the first body portion;
a second component arranged on the first body portion; and
a bonding member interposed directly between the first body portion and the waterproof member,
wherein a first portion of the waterproof member covers the first component and a second portion of the waterproof member covers the second component, and
wherein the first portion of the waterproof member is configured to be protruding or depressed with respect to the second portion of the waterproof member.
2. The terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second body portion connected to the first body portion with the waterproof member interposed therebetween.
3. The terminal of claim 2 , further comprising:
a third body portion connected to the first body portion or the second body portion.
4. The terminal of claim 3 , further comprising:
a battery arranged in a space between the second body portion and the third body portion.
5. The terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:
a battery arranged in a space between the waterproof member and the first body portion.
6. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof member comprises a fastening member hole, and the bonding member comprises a hole bonding portion configured to surround the fastening member hole.
7. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof member has a substantially step-like cross-section.
8. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof member has a substantially curved cross-section.
9. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first component and the second component are arranged to protrude from the first body portion.
10. The terminal of claim 2 , wherein the waterproof member is arranged between the second body portion and the components.
11. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first portion or the second portion of the waterproof member is configured to be protruding or depressed over the first component or the second component according to at least one of a height, a shape, a function, a material, and an exothermic characteristic of the first component or second component, respectively.
12. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof member is configured to have a dimension according to at least one of a height, a shape, a function, a material, and an exothermic characteristic of the first component and the second component.
13. A method for manufacturing a terminal, comprising:
disposing a first component and a second component on a first body portion;
connecting a waterproof member to the first body portion;
connecting a second body portion to the first body portion with the waterproof member interposed therebetween;
connecting a first surface of a bonding member to the waterproof member; and
connecting a second surface of the bonding member to the first body potion,
wherein a first portion of the waterproof member covers the first component and a second portion of the waterproof member covers the second component, and
wherein the first portion of the waterproof member is configured to be protruding or depressed with respect to the second portion of the waterproof member.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the waterproof member comprises a fastening member hole, and the bonding member comprises a hole bonding portion configured to surround the fastening member hole.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first portion or the second portion of the waterproof member is configured to be protruding or depressed over the first component or the second component according to at least one of a height, a shape, a function, a material, and an exothermic characteristic of the first component or second component, respectively.
16. A terminal, comprising:
a first body portion;
a waterproof member connected to the first body portion;
a component disposed between the first body portion and the waterproof member; and
a bonding member interposed directly between the first body portion and the waterproof member,
wherein a portion of the waterproof member is configured to be protruding or depressed over the component, and
wherein a battery of the terminal is arranged in a space between the waterproof member and the first body portion.
17. The terminal of claim 16 , wherein a surface portion of the waterproof member is configured to have a dimension according to at least one of a height, a shape, a function, a material, and an exothermic characteristic of the component.
18. The terminal of claim 16 , wherein the portion of the waterproof member is configured to be protruding or depressed over the component according to at least one of a height, a shape, a function, a material, and an exothermic characteristic of the component.
