Abstract

First and second housings of a metal sheet are superposed over each other and fixed to each other by bolts to form an element receiving space. An antenna is fixed to the second housing by a bolt so as to be adjacent to the first housing. A hook section is fixed to the first housing. The hook section is inserted in a hole of the antenna, a step-shaped forward lower step section of the hook section is engaged with the peripheral edge of the hole in the antenna, and thus the first housing and the antenna are fixed to each other. The antenna is embedded in resin and covered by the resin.

Claims (18)

1. A portable apparatus comprising:

a first housing made of a metal sheet,

a second housing being mounted with and fixed to the first housing, whereby an inside device storage space is provided therebetween; and

a resin part having at least an external surface coated with resin and being fixed to the second housing at a position adjacent to the first housing,

wherein the resin part has an antenna, and

a difference in level exists so that the external surface of the resin part is situated more inside than an external surface of the first housing.

2. The portable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the external surface of the first housing and the external surface of the resin part constitute an external surface of the portable apparatus.

3. The portable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first housing and the resin part are fixed to the second housing, and the resin part is fixed to the first housing.

4. The portable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second housing comprises a metal sheet.

5. The portable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna is coated with resin.

6. A portable apparatus comprising:

a first housing made of a metal sheet;

a second housing being mounted with and fixed to the first housing whereby an inside device storage space is provided therebetween; and

a resin part having at least an external surface coated with resin and being fixed to the second housing at a position adjacent to the first housing,

wherein the resin part has an antenna,

a first protrusion provided at a resin-part-side edge part of the first housing is situated between a first-housing-side edge part of the resin part and the second housing, wherein the resin-part-side edge part is situated closely to the resin part in the first housing, and the first-housing-side edge part is situated closely to the first housing in the resin part, and

a second protrusion provided at the resin-part-side edge part of the resin part is situated between a resin-part-side edge part of the first housing and the second housing.

7. The portable apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the second protrusion has a hole part into which the first protrusion is inserted.
