Abstract

A holding structure for holding a microphone includes a chassis configured to be separated into at least a first chassis and a second chassis; an elastic member formed of an elastic material, the elastic member including a holding unit configured to hold the microphone and an attachment portion provided in a periphery of the holding unit; and a retention member configured to retain the attachment portion at a predetermined position of the first chassis. The retention member is fixed to the first chassis by the second chassis in a state where the second chassis is attached to the first chassis.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A holding structure for holding a microphone, comprising:
a chassis configured to be separated into at least a first chassis and a second chassis;
an elastic member formed of an elastic material, the elastic member including a holding unit configured to hold the microphone and an attachment portion provided in a periphery of the holding unit; and
a retention member configured to retain the attachment portion at a predetermined position on the first chassis, the retention member being fixed to the first chassis by the second chassis in a state where the second chassis is attached to the first chassis,
wherein the first chassis includes a first rib portion configured to attach the retention member, and a projection portion, and
wherein the retention member includes a claw portion corresponding to the first rib portion and a notch portion corresponding to the projection portion.

2. The holding structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein a gap is provided between the holding unit and the chassis, and between the holding unit and the retention member.

3. The holding structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second chassis includes a second rib portion that contacts the claw portion of the retention member when the second chassis is attached to the first chassis.

4. The holding structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the retention member includes a shaft portion; and
wherein the first chassis includes a bearing portion configured to support the shaft portion.

5. The holding structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first chassis includes a boss portion configured to retain the attachment portion, the boss portion being opposed to the retention member.

6. An electronic device including the holding structure for holding a microphone according to claim 1 .

7. A holding structure for holding a microphone, comprising:
a chassis configured to be separated into at least a first chassis and a second chassis;
an elastic member formed of an elastic material, the elastic member including a holding unit configured to hold the microphone and an attachment portion provided in a periphery of the holding unit; and
a retention member configured to retain the attachment portion at a predetermined position on the first chassis, the retention member being fixed to the first chassis by the second chassis in a state where the second chassis is attached to the first chassis,
wherein the retention member includes a shaft portion; and
wherein the first chassis includes a bearing portion configured to support the shaft portion.

8. An electronic device including the holding structure for holding a microphone according to claim 7 .
