Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic apparatus comprises a casing having an electronic component inside thereof, a cover panel including a first side and a second side which corresponds to a longitudinal side when the first side is defined as a lateral side, an attaching part located near the first side between the casing and the cover panel, a first adhesive part located near the second side between the casing and the cover panel, and a second adhesive part located to be surrounded by the attaching part between the casing and the cover panel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a casing having an electronic component inside thereof; a cover panel including a first side and a second side which corresponds to a longitudinal side when the first side is defined as a lateral side; an attaching part located near the first side between the casing and the cover panel; a first adhesive part located near the second side between the casing and the cover panel; and a second adhesive part located to be surrounded by the attaching part between the casing and the cover panel, wherein both the second adhesive part and the attaching part are completely covered by the cover panel, and the second adhesive part extends away from the second side and afterwards, bending toward the first side, terminates in an end that is proximal to the first side. 2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive part is continuous with the second adhesive part. 3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising a piezoelectric vibration element located on the cover panel. 4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the attaching part comprises a double-sided tape. 5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the attaching part comprises a foam. 6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the cover panel comprises a sapphire panel. 7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the cover panel and the casing overlap with each other in an area, and the second adhesive part and the attaching part are coplanar in the area where the cover panel and the casing overlap with each other. 8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive part terminates in segment that is parallel with the second side which corresponds to a longitudinal side. 9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive part terminates in an end. 10. An electronic apparatus comprising: a casing having an electronic component inside thereof; a cover panel including a first side and a second side which corresponds to a longitudinal side when the first side is defined as a lateral side; an attaching part located near the first side between the casing and the cover panel; a first adhesive part located near the second side between the casing and the cover panel; and a second adhesive part located to be surrounded by the attaching part between the casing and the cover panel, wherein both the second adhesive part and the attaching part are completely covered by the cover panel, and the second adhesive part extends substantially in an arc, and includes a center of curvature located outside of the casing.
