A retainer for an electronic apparatus includes a housing member in the form of a frame, an antenna holding member, and rib elements for assuring a distance between a main printed board and a sub-printed board. The housing member, antenna holding member and rib elements are formed as one unit of a resin material. The housing member accommodates and holds a liquid crystal display unit, an EL lamp and so forth. The antenna holding member supports an inner side portion of a loop antenna. The rib elements hold the sub-printed board to assure the distance between the main printed board and the sub-printed board. By forming the retainer as one unit of a resin material, the number and cost of parts can be reduced, and moreover assembly and disassembly are facilitated and the number of working steps can be reduced.

Retainer for electronic apparatus

A structure for mounting a VIB motor and a button pedestal in a compact portable electronic equipment wherein a rear panel has a plurality of fitting pawls formed by partly bending the rear panel, and a button pedestal has recessed portions to fit with some fitting pawls of a plurality of fitting pawls, and wherein some fitting pawls so fit as to engage with the recessed portions formed in the button pedestal to mount the button pedestal, and the VIB motor is positioned and fixed between all or some other fitting pawls, of some fitting pawls that fix the button pedestal, of the plurality of fitting pawls formed on the rear panel, and fitting pawls, other than some fitting pawls that fix the button pedestal, of the plurality of fitting pawls, thereby mounting the VIB motor.
