Mobile telephone
First Claim
1. A mobile telephone of a box shape having a front wall, a rear wall, a top wall partly continuous with a side face, and a side wall, the mobile telephone comprising:
- a vibration-absorbing member between the top wall and each of the rear wall and the side wall; and
a cartilage conduction vibration source on an inner side of the top wall, wherein opposite box-corner parts of the top wall partly continuous with the side face each serve as a cartilage conduction unit,wherein the cartilage conduction vibration source is supported so as not to make contact with the front wall,wherein the mobile telephone further comprises a switching unit for switching whether or not to conduct vibration of the cartilage conduction vibration source to the front wall, andwherein the rear wall, the top wall, and the side wall constitute an integral box-shaped casing, which, when combined with the front wall, permits vibration to conduct from the top wall to the front wall.

Abstract
A mobile telephone has a front wall, a rear wall, a top wall partly continuous with a side face, and a side wall, and includes a vibration-absorbing member between the top wall and each of the rear wall and the side wall, and a cartilage conduction vibration source on the inner side of the top wall. Opposite corner parts of the top wall partly continuous with the side face each serve as a cartilage conduction unit. Or a mobile telephone has a front wall, a rear wall, a top wall, and a side wall, and includes a cartilage conduction vibration source that has a thin shape, that vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the thin shape, and that is affixed to the middle, in the left/right direction, of the inner side of the top wall in a direction parallel to the thin shape.
