Abstract

A terminal device includes: a first support member that supports a first component; a second support member that is separately provided from the first support member and that holds a second component having shock resistance lower than shock resistance of the first component; and a protection portion that is provided on the first support member and that extends more outward in a first direction than the second support member, wherein a part of the protection portion, which extends more outward than the second support member, extends in a region that does not overlap the second support member when viewed from the first direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A terminal device comprising:
a first support member that supports a first component;
a second support member that is separately provided from the first support member and that holds a second component; and
a protection portion that is provided on the first support member and that extends more outward in a first direction than the second support member, wherein a part of the protection portion, which extends more outward than the second support member, extends in a region that does not overlap the second support member when viewed from the first direction,
wherein the protection portion faces the first support member in the first direction with a gap of a first distance,
wherein the second support member includes a female screw portion that is engaged with a screw, and
wherein the protection portion has a through hole through which the screw passes, and a gap is formed such that the gap between an axis portion of the screw and an edge of the through hole in the first direction has a third distance that is greater than the first distance.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the second support member is a front cover of a casing that forms an inner space, and wherein the first support member is provided within the inner space.

3. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the second support member includes a side surface frame having a notch, and wherein the protection portion extends outward in the first direction from behind the side surface frame through the notch.

4. The terminal device according to claim 3 , wherein the side surface frame has the notch at a position that corresponds to a corner portion of the terminal device.

5. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the protection portion is integrally formed with the first support member.

6. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the protection portion and the first support member has a curved surface that faces each other in the first direction with the gap of the first distance.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the protection portion extends more outward by a second distance in the first direction than the second support member, the second distance being greater than the first distance.

8. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the first direction is parallel with a display surface of the terminal device.

9. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the first direction is a direction vertical to a side surface of a corner portion of the terminal device.

10. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the protection portion is made from resin material.

11. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the first component includes a substrate and a battery.

12. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is at least any one of a display device and a touch panel.
