A case including a case main body, a first exterior case which is arranged around an outer circumferential portion of the case main body, and a second exterior case which includes an impact receiving portion that is opposed to an inner circumferential portion of at least one of an upper part and a lower part of the first exterior case, and is attached to at least one of the upper part and the lower part of the first exterior case.

COMPRESSIBLE SEAL FOR ROTATABLE AND TRANSLATABLE INPUT MECHANISMS
20240264568 · 2024-08-08 ·

An electronic device has a housing and a rotatable and translatable input mechanism. The housing has an aperture and the rotatable and translatable input mechanism has a shaft positioned at least partially within the aperture and a manipulation structure coupled to the shaft. The manipulation structure may be manipulated to rotationally and translationally move the shaft to provide rotational and translational input to the electronic device. A compressible seal is positioned in a gap between the housing and the rotatable and translatable input mechanism. The compressible seal may resist and/or prevent passage of contaminants into the aperture and/or obscure one or more internal components. The compressible seal may be configured to collapse or bend when the rotatable and translatable member translates.

SENSOR ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE AND WRISTWATCH

A sensor is accommodated in an accommodation portion provided in a housing. An attachment surface portion of the housing is provided on the outside surface of a case of an information device. A sensor cover is provided which fixes a sensor accommodated in the accommodation portion of the housing between the housing and the sensor cover. The housing accommodating the sensor can be attached to an attachment surface portion provided in the case together with the sensor cover.

Timepiece

A timepiece is equipped with a movement, a timepiece case accommodating the movement, and a hollow tubular structure portion having a connection proximal portion directly or indirectly in contact with the movement. The hollow tubular structure portion is formed such that a space defined between itself and the timepiece case is hermetically sealed. The inner space of the hollow tubular structure portion communicates with the exterior of the timepiece case via an external opening of the timepiece case. The timepiece can secure a sufficient waterproof performance and can transmit sound from a sound source efficiently to the exterior.
