Abstract

A mobile device includes a pair of cabinet half-bodies 10, 6 configuring a cabinet 1; a metal coupling member 2 for coupling the cabinet half-bodies 10, 6; and a synthetic resin cover body 3 opened with at least two pass holes 30, 30 through which a strap 4 is passed, and arranged with a strap receiving piece 31 between the pass holes 30, 30. The strap receiving piece 31 has a lower surface reinforced by contacting at least one part of the coupling member 2, and a space through which the strap 4 from one pass hole to the other pass hole passes is formed below the coupling member 2.

Claims

1. A mobile device comprising:

a pair of cabinet half-bodies configuring a cabinet;

a metal coupling member for coupling the cabinet half-bodies; and

a synthetic resin cover body opened with at least two pass holes through which a strap is passed, and arranged with a strap receiving piece between the pass holes;

wherein

the strap receiving piece has an inner surface reinforced by at least one part of the coupling member, and a space through which the strap from one pass hole to the other pass hole passes is formed below the coupling member.

2. The mobile device according to claim 1, wherein the coupling member is integrally formed with a convex part which upper surface is positioned at a lower surface of the strap receiving piece, a width of the convex part being formed narrower than a width of the strap receiving piece.

3. The mobile device according to claim 2, wherein a protective piece is projected from both sides of the strap receiving piece, and the convex part is at a position depressed more than the protective piece between the protective pieces.
