Abstract

An adhesive member is disclosed. The adhesive member includes a first release element, a second release element and a body. The body includes a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface. The body also includes a first end face and a second end face. The first end face forms an acute angle with the first release element located on the body. The second end face faces the first end face and forms an obtuse angle with the second release element of the body.

Claims

1. An adhesive member comprising:

a first release element;

a second release element; and

a body having a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface, wherein said body includes

a first end face that forms an acute angle with said first release element; and

a second end face that forms an obtuse angle with said second release element.

2. The adhesive member of claim 1, wherein said first release element is removably attached to said first adhesive surface.

3. The adhesive member of claim 2, wherein said second release element is removably attached to said second adhesive surface.

4. The adhesive member of claim 1, wherein a length along which said first release element projects from the side that said acute angle has been formed relative to said first end face of said body is different from a length along which said second release element projects from the side that said obtuse angle has been formed relative to said second end face of said body.

5. The adhesive member of claim 1, wherein said body is made of thermal rubber for heat dissipation.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein said adhesive body is made of thermal rubber for heat dissipation.

6. An electronic device comprising:

a first chassis having a keyboard; and

a second chassis connected to said first chassis, wherein said second chassis includes a display and an antenna, wherein said antenna is attached to said chassis via an adhesive body having a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface, wherein said adhesive body includes

a first end face that forms an acute angle with said first adhesive surface; and

a second end face that forms an obtuse angle with said second adhesive surface.
