Abstract

A cover adapted to an electronic device is provided. An outer side of the electronic device has a connection port. The cover includes a first covering structure and a second covering structure. The first covering structure is disposed on the outer side and has a plurality of first openings. The second covering structure is connected to the first covering structure and has a second opening. The second opening is aligned to the connection port, and the second opening is separated from the first openings. A connector is adapted to be inserted into the connection port through the second opening.

Claims (24)

1. A cover adapted to an electronic device, an outer side of the electronic device having at least one connection port, the cover comprising:

a first covering structure, disposed on the outer side and having a plurality of first openings, and

at least one second covering structure, connected to the first covering structure and having a second opening, wherein the second opening is aligned to the at least one connection port, the second opening is separated from the first openings, the second opening is axially symmetrical to a first axis, two second axes tilt and are axially symmetrical to the first axis, a part of the first openings are arranged along the first axis, another part of the first openings are arranged along the two second axes, and a connector is adapted to be inserted into the connection port through the second opening.

2. The cover according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the at least one second covering structure comprises an elastic material, and the connector passes through the second opening through elastic deformation of the at least one second covering structure.

3. The cover according to claim 1 , wherein the first covering structure and the at least one second covering structure are integrated.

4. The cover according to claim 1 , wherein the first covering structure surrounds the second covering structure.

5. The cover according to claim 1 , wherein a part of the first openings extend to the second covering structure.

6. The cover according to claim 1 , wherein the first covering structure has a greater hardness than the second covering structure.

7. The cover according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first openings and the second opening is oval.

8. The cover according to claim 1 , wherein a smallest distance between a peripheral of the second opening and a fringe of the second covering structure along a first direction is longer than twice of a smallest distance between the peripheral of the second opening and the fringe of the second covering structure along a second direction.

9. The cover according to claim 1 , wherein the cover has an arc section at the connection port, and the arc section extends a distance of greater than 2.5 millimeters in an insertion direction of the connection port.

10. An electronic device, comprising:

a main body having an outer side, wherein the outer side has at least one connection port; and

a cover, comprising:

a first covering structure, disposed on the outer side and having a plurality of first openings; and

at least one second covering structure, connected to the first covering structure and having a second opening, wherein the second opening is aligned to the at least one connection port, the second opening is separated from the first openings, the second opening is axially symmetrical to a first axis, two second axes tilt and are axially symmetrical to the first axis, a part of the first openings are arranged along the first axis, another part of the first openings are arranged along the two second axes, and a connector is adapted to be inserted to the connection port through the second opening.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein a material of the at least one second covering structure comprises an elastic material, and the connector passes through the second opening through elastic deformation of the at least one second covering structure.

12. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the first covering structure and the at least one second covering structure are integrated.

13. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the first covering structure surrounds the second covering structure.

14. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein a part of the first openings extend to the second covering structure.

15. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the first covering structure has a greater hardness than the second covering structure.

16. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein each of the first openings and the second opening is oval.

17. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein a smallest distance between a peripheral of the second opening and a fringe of the second covering structure along a first direction is longer than twice of a smallest distance between the peripheral of the second opening and the fringe of the second covering structure along a second direction.

18. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the cover has an arc section at the connection port, and the arc section extends a distance of greater than 2.5 millimeters along an insertion direction of the connection port.
