Abstract

According to an embodiment of the invention, an electronic apparatus comprises a casing, a circuit board contained in the casing, and a shock absorbing member interposed between the casing and the circuit board.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a casing;

a circuit board contained in the casing; and

a shock absorbing member interposed between the casing and the circuit board.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the casing includes a curved surface at least a part thereof.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a fixing member for fixing the circuit board to the casing;

wherein the shock absorbing member is interposed between the circuit board and the fixing member.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the casing has a hole which opens to an outside of the casing at a position corresponding to the shock absorbing member;

and

the fixing member is engaged with the shock absorbing member through the hole from the outside of the casing.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuit board has a face opposed to the casing;

and

the shock absorbing member is disposed between the face of the circuit board and the casing to form a gap.

11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the shock absorbing member has a conductive layer for grounding the circuit board to the casing.

3. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a casing having flexibility; and

a circuit board contained in the case.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the shock absorbing member is interposed between the casing and the circuit board.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

a fixing member for fixing the circuit board to the casing;

wherein the shock absorbing member is interposed between the circuit board and the fixing member.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the casing has a hole which opens to an outside of the casing at a position corresponding to the shock absorbing member;

and

the fixing member is engaged with the shock absorbing member through the hole from the outside of the casing.

10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the circuit board has a face opposed to the casing;

and

the shock absorbing member is disposed between the face of the circuit board and the casing to form a gap.

12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the shock absorbing member has a conductive layer for grounding the circuit board to the casing.
