Housing having electromagnetic wave shielding and waterproof structure
First Claim
1. A housing comprising:
- a first housing component made of magnetic metal and having a first surface;
a second housing component made of magnetic metal and having a second surface confronting said first surface, said second housing component being cooperated with said first housing component to define a space; and
a sealing structure providing an electromagnetic wave shielding function and a waterproof function between said first and second housing components, said sealing structure comprising;
a groove portion formed on said first surface and extending around said space;
a first seal member formed by being directly applied into said groove portion, said first seal member having relatively low hardness to be compressible;
a second seal member formed by being applied onto said first seal member, said second seal member having relatively high hardness, flexibility, and conductivity; and
a pressing portion formed on said second surface to correspond to said groove portion, said pressing portion pressingly deform said second seal member so as to be brought into surface contact with said second seal member.

Abstract
In a housing having a sealing structure providing an electromagnetic wave shielding function and a waterproof function between first and second housing components (1, 2) which define a space therebetween, the sealing structure includes a groove portion (12) made in the first housing component to extend around the space, a first seal member (13) formed by being directly applied into the groove portion, a second seal member (14) formed by being applied onto the first seal member, and a pressing portion (16) formed on the second housing component to correspond to the groove portion. The first seal member has relatively low hardness to be compressible. The second seal member has relatively high hardness, flexibility, and conductivity. When the first and second housing component are combined to each other, the pressing portion pressingly deforms the second seal member so as to be brought into surface contact with the second seal member. The first and second housing component are made of magnetic metal.
