CASING FOR PORTABLE DEVICE, PORTABLE DEVICE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CASING FOR PORTABLE DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a casing for a portable device having a structure suitable for reducing the thickness and size by improving the structure of a casing for switches in a portable device, to provide a portable device, and to provide a method of manufacturing the casing for a portable device.;SOLUTION: A box-shaped metal structure is formed by press-working or the like, and a resin shell 200 is integrally molded to the periphery of the metal structure 100 by injection molding of a resin. A flexible board 300 for key switches is disposed on a switch-receiving surface 101 of the metal structure 100. The resin shell 200 and the box-shaped metal structure 100 are not bonded together, but the resin fills the connecting holes in the metal structure 100, whereby the shell and the metal structure are kept together after molding. A casing for a portable device having a structure suitable for reducing the thickness and size is thereby obtained.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
