A key structure in an electronic apparatus case includes a top portion that is exposed through a surface of the case, a shaft portion that extends from the top portion and includes a elastomer at a tip of the shaft portion, and a stopper portion that projects from a periphery of the top portion to engage and that is engaged so as to be in contact with the switch in the state where the elastomer is contracted.

Key structure and electronic apparatus

A water resistant structure includes a first member having a stepped portion at an opening thereof; a second member having a rib protruding from a back surface thereof; and a water-stop member having an elastically deformable water-stop portion at a tip of a second plate portion that extends upward from a first plate portion. The first plate portion is attached to a horizontal surface of the stepped portion by double-sided adhesive tape. The second plate portion faces a vertical surface of the stepped portion. The water-stop portion is spread along the vertical surface of the stepped portion. The rib is pressed into an inner side of the water-stop portion, and the water-stop portion is pushed against the vertical surface of the stepped portion and the rib.

Water resistant structure and electronic apparatus

An electronic device includes a case, a multi-directional input unit having an annular base and a flange that extends from an outer circumferential surface of the annular base and fits part of the case, the flange guiding light emitted from a light source and radiating the light; and a cover having a through-hole through which part of the multi-directional input unit passes, the cover abutting the flange and being secured to the case.

Electronic device with partially illuminated annular input unit

An electronic device includes a case including a fixing portion, a printed board fixed to the fixing portion, a key rubber provided with key tops and fixed to the printed board, and a flexible cable attached to the printed board and bent in a direction different from the surface of the fixing portion to which the printed board is fixed, wherein the key rubber includes a contact portion that is in contact with the folded portion of the flexible cable and subjected to reaction force of the flexible cable, and a locking portion pressed against the case by the reaction force.

Electronic device

A portable electronic apparatus includes a first casing, a second casing movably connected to the first casing, a first elastic member provided on a surface of the second casing facing the first casing and a second elastic member provided on a surface of the first casing facing the second casing. The second elastic member includes a convex portion that elastically contacts with the first elastic member in a closed state in which the first casing and the second casing are superposed.
