Sound output apparatus and hub for communication network
First Claim
1. A hub comprising:
- a main body including a communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate with another device;
a cover housing coupled to a top of the main body, the cover housing including a tubular sidewall that extends in a vertical direction and a partition extending from an inner surface of the sidewall to divide an inside of the sidewall into upper and lower regions;
a display Printed Circuit Board (PCB) positioned on an upper surface of the partition, the display PCB having at least one contact switch;
a display panel positioned above the display PCB and configured to output a screen;
a window support positioned over the display panel and having an opening exposing at least a section of the screen; and
a window formed of a transparent material, the window positioned over the window support,wherein the window support includes;
a window support plate defining the opening, the window being positioned on an upper surface of the window support plate;
at least one manipulation protrusion extending downward from the window support plate at a position corresponding to the contact switch, the manipulation protrusion operating the contact switch in response to pressure applied to the support plate through the window; and
a plurality of support bosses extending downward from the window support plate and coupled to the partition to space the window support plate apart from the display PCB.

Abstract
A hub has a display Printed Circuit Board (PCB) having a contact switch; a display panel positioned above the display PCB and controlled by the display PSB to output content. A window support is positioned over the display panel and has an opening exposing at least a section of display panel. A window formed of a transparent material is positioned over the window support. The window support includes a window support plate defining the opening, the window being positioned on an upper surface of the window support plate; at least one manipulation protrusion extending downward from the window support plate at a position corresponding to the contact switch, the manipulation protrusion operating the contact switch in response to pressure applied to the support plate through the window; and support bosses extending downward from the window support plate and coupled to the partition.

17. A hub comprising:
-
a main body including a communication circuitry to wirelessly communicate with another device; a cover housing coupled to a top area of the main body, the cover housing including a tubular sidewall that extends in a vertical direction and a partition extending from an inner surface of the sidewall for dividing an inside of the sidewall into upper and lower regions; a display PCB positioned over an upper surface of the partition, the display PCB having at least one contact switch; a display panel positioned over an upper surface of the display PCB, the display panel being configured to output a screen, the screen having a long side in a left-to-right direction and a short side in a front-to-rear direction; a window support positioned over the display panel in the cover housing, the window support having an opening exposing at least a portion of the screen, the opening having a longer left-to-right length than a front-to-rear length; and a window positioned over opening, wherein the window support includes; a circular window support plate defining the opening, the window being positioned over the window support plate; a plurality of support bosses extending downward from the window support plate and coupled to the partition to space the window support plate from the display PCB; and at least one manipulation protrusion extending downward from the window support plate at a position corresponding to the contact switch, the manipulation protrusion selecting activating the contact switch when the window support plate is deformed by pressure applied to the support plate through the window, wherein the support bosses are formed in at least one of an area located at a rear side of the opening in the window support plate and an area located at a front side of the opening. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A hub comprising:
-
a main body including communication circuitry to wirelessly communicate with a surrounding device; a cover housing coupled to a top of the main body, the cover housing including a tubular sidewall that extends in a vertical direction and a partition extending from an inner surface of the sidewall to divide an inside of the sidewall into upper and lower regions; a display printed circuit board (PCB) positioned over an upper surface of the partition, the display PCB having at least one contact switch; a display panel positioned over an upper surface of the display PCB, the display panel, the display panel having a long side and a short side; a window support positioned over the display panel in the cover housing, the window support having an opening to expose at least a portion of the display panel; and a window formed of a transparent material and covering the opening, wherein the window support includes; a window support plate defining the opening, the window being positioned on an upper surface of the window support plate; a plurality of support bosses extending downward from the window support plate and coupled to the partition to separate the window support plate from the display PCB; and at least one manipulation protrusion extending downward from the window support plate at a position corresponding to the contact switch, the manipulation protrusion selectively activating the contact switch when the window support plate is deformed by pressure applied to the support plate through the window, and wherein at least one of the support bosses passes through an area at a front side of the display panel and at least another one of the support bosses passes through an area at a rear side of the display panel. - View Dependent Claims (20)
