연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus and/or system for housing a device. The apparatus includes a housing that is configured such that a device may be fitted within the housing and thereby be protected, such as from shocks and/or liquid. The housing may include top and bottom members that may be removably coupled together so as to form the housing. Each top and bottom member optionally includes front and back surfaces surrounded by a perimeter. The perimeter is defined by proximal and distal ends as well as opposing sides. The top and bottom members may include respective clasping mechanisms that extend along the perimeter of the top and bottom members. The clasping mechanisms are configured for coupling the top and bottom members with one another thereby sealing the housing, for instance, in a shock-proof and/or water tight seal.

1. A housing for an electronic device, the housing comprising: a top member having a front surface and a back surface, the back surface surrounded by a perimeter portion defined by a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and opposing side portions, the top member further comprising a rigid frame that defines a cavity into which the electronic device may be fitted;a bottom member configured for being removably coupled with the top member, the bottom member having a front surface and a back surface surrounded by a perimeter portion defined by a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and opposing side portions, the perimeter portion of the bottom member corresponding to a shape of the perimeter portion of the top member;a membrane defining the front surface and back surface of the top member and being mated on a top ridge of the rigid frame, the membrane extending from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion and across the opposing side portions of the top member;a channel in a top surface of the perimeter portion of the bottom member to receive a bottom ridge of the rigid frame, the channel including a gasket to compress against the bottom ridge of the rigid frame when the top member and the bottom member are coupled together to seal the housing; andeach of the top and bottom members having a respective clasping mechanism that extends along a respective perimeter portion of its respective top or bottom member, each clasping mechanism interfacing with the other clasping mechanism to maintain the top member and the bottom member coupled together, the clasping mechanism of the bottom member having a groove in a side of the channel, and the clasping mechanism of the top member having a lip extending from the bottom ridge of the rigid frame, the lip engaging the groove when the top member and bottom member are coupled together. 2. The housing in accordance with claim 1, wherein the rigid frame has a side wall that includes at least one aperture. 3. The housing in accordance with claim 2, further comprising a door pivotally connected to the bottom member, the door for closing and sealing the at least one aperture in the side wall of the rigid frame. 4. The housing in accordance with claim 3, wherein the door includes a rigid surface defining a gasket seat, and a gasket positioned in the gasket seat for sealing the at least one aperture in the side wall of the rigid frame. 5. The housing in accordance with claim 2, wherein the rigid frame includes a second aperture configured for being removably connected to a sealing member. 6. The housing in accordance with claim 5, wherein the second aperture is removably connected to the sealing member, and wherein the second aperture and the sealing member each have corresponding thread elements. 7. The housing in accordance with claim 1, wherein a portion of the membrane is transparent, which transparent portion is sized and adapted to overlay a screen of the electronic device. 8. The housing in accordance with claim 7, wherein a portion of the membrane is non-transparent and the non-transparent portion of the membrane includes at least one transparent lens. 9. The housing in accordance with claim 8, wherein the at least one transparent lens includes: a first transparent lens positioned to be overlaid a camera lens portion of the electronic device; anda second transparent lens positioned to be overlaid a proximity sensor portion of the electronic device. 10. The housing in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a camera lens defined in the bottom member and extending through the front surface and back surface of the bottom member. 11. An apparatus comprising: a top member comprising: a rigid frame that defines a perimeter portion having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and opposing side portions of the top member, the rigid frame having a top ridge and a bottom ridge, the bottom ridge including a first clasping mechanism;a membrane defining a front surface and a back surface of the top member and being mated on the top ridge of the rigid frame, the membrane spanning from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion and across the opposing side portions of the perimeter portion of the top member; anda bottom member, which when coupled to the top member, forms a housing to enclose an electronic device to allow touch-sensitive user inputs to the electronic device via the membrane of the top member, the bottom member comprising: a channel in a top surface of the perimeter portion of the bottom member to receive the bottom ridge of the rigid frame, the channel including a gasket positioned therein to compress against the bottom ridge of the rigid frame to seal the housing when the top member and the bottom member are coupled together, the channel further including a second clasping mechanism to interface with the first clasping mechanism to maintain the top member and the bottom member coupled together. 12.
