Abstract

A device housing includes a glass plate, a plastic frame, a metal member and an adhesive member. The glass plate is received in the plastic frame. The metal member is connected to the plastic frame. The adhesive member connects the glass plate to the plastic frame. The glass plate, the plastic frame, the metal member and the adhesive member are integrally formed, and the adhesive member is sandwiched between the glass plate and the plastic frame.

Claims (18)

1. A device housing, comprising:

a glass plate;

a plastic frame for receiving the glass plate;

an adhesive member attaching to an edge of a bottom surface of the glass plate and connecting the glass plate to the plastic frame; and

a metal member connected to the plastic frame, wherein the metal member comprises a main body and a hook portion extending from an end of the main body, the hook portion engaging with the plastic frame and attached to the adhesive member;

wherein the glass plate, the plastic frame, the metal member and the adhesive member are integrally formed by molding, and the adhesive member is sandwiched between the glass plate and the plastic frame, such that there is no gap between a side surface of the glass plate and the plastic frame.

2. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member is polyurethane glue.

3. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the metal member is glued to the adhesive member.

4. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the metal member is stainless steel.

5. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the metal member defines at least one connecting hole penetrating through the metal member for partly receiving the plastic frame.

6. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the plastic frame comprises a side frame and an annular positioning portion formed on an inner surface of the side frame, and the glass plate is located on the positioning portion and surrounded by the side frame.

7. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive member is glued to the positioning portion of the plastic frame.

8. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the glass plate defines a receiving groove on an edge thereof for receiving the adhesive member.

9. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the glass plate forms a connecting surface on an edge thereof, and the plastic frame forms a connecting portion on the connecting surface of the glass plate.

10. The device housing of claim 9 , wherein the connecting surface is slanted to the side surface of the glass plate.

11. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the plastic frame is comprised of nylon and fiberglass.

12. The device housing of claim 1 , wherein the glass plate comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and at least one of the first surface and the second surface forms a chamfer angle at an edge of the glass plate.

13. The device housing of claim 12 , wherein a periphery of the first surface is coated with printing ink to form a light shielding portion and a light guiding portion surrounded by the light shielding portion.
