Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a floating section which has a speaker part and a first box part provided with a first cavity portion functioning as a back chamber of the speaker part and is fixed to a main body chassis in a floatable state inside the main body chassis, a rigid section which has a second box part provided with a second cavity portion and which is rigidly fixed to the main body chassis inside the main body chassis and formed with an antenna on at least a part of the second box part, and a connecting pipe which connects the first box part and the second box part through a vibration buffer part and communicates the first cavity portion and the second cavity portion with each other.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a chassis;

a floating section comprising:

a speaker part; and

a first box part comprising a first cavity portion as a back chamber of the speaker part and that is fixed to the chassis in a floatable state inside the chassis;

a rigid section comprising a second box part provided with a second cavity portion and that is rigidly fixed to the chassis inside the chassis and formed with an antenna on at least a part of the second box part; and

a connecting pipe that connects the first box part and the second box part through a vibration buffer part and communicates the first cavity portion and the second cavity portion with each other.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting pipe is formed of a material having rubber elasticity and includes a function of the vibration buffer part.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an outer wall of the chassis comprises a radio wave transmission part formed of a radio wave transmissive material, and a conductive part formed of a conductive material, and

wherein the antenna is disposed facing the radio wave transmission part and electrically connected to the conductive part.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the rigid section is disposed along the outer wall of the chassis, and

wherein the rigid section comprises, at a surface of the second box part where the antenna is not formed, a shield wall formed of an electromagnetic wave shielding material.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a shield member formed of an electromagnetic wave shielding material is disposed at a part of the surface of the second box part, and the shield member is in contact with an inner surface of the chassis.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a high-tone speaker disposed inside the chassis,

wherein the speaker part, the floating section, the rigid section, and the connecting pipe are configured to a low-tone speaker.
