AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing waterproof cases for electronic devices lack stability in maintaining the device's position, particularly when devices with protrusions like cameras are used, leading to reduced screen visibility and potential interference with the case walls.

Method used

The waterproof case features contact ribs on the case bottom to maintain the device's orientation, housing area indicator ribs for proper placement, and grounding protrusions for stability, along with a magnet for attachment and a latching mechanism for easy removal.

🎯Benefits of technology

Ensures proper device orientation for clear screen visibility, stable placement, and secure attachment, preventing interference and enhancing usability in various environments.

Abstract

To provide a waterproof case for an electronic apparatus that, regardless of the shape of a rear face side of an electronic apparatus such as the presence or absence of a projection, can hold a normal attitude of the electronic apparatus in a storage chamber, and thereby can ensure good visibility of a screen.SOLUTION: A frame body 3 including a transparent sheet 5 is overlapped on a front face side of a case body 2 to define a storage chamber S, and an electronic apparatus D is stored in the storage chamber. The electronic apparatus D is held by the tensile force of the transparent sheet 5, and the storage chamber S is held fluid tight by a sealant 5b integrally formed around the transparent sheet 5. A storage area display rib 19 is formed along the periphery of the case body 2, and an inner peripheral side of the rib is defined as a bottom wall 2a where the electronic apparatus D is disposed. A plurality of contact ribs 20 extending in the transverse and vertical directions are formed on the bottom wall 2a, the electronic apparatus is disposed on the contact ribs 20 and a camera part Da of the electronic apparatus is arranged while avoiding the contact ribs 20, and the electronic apparatus D is sandwiched by the transparent sheet 5.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
