Abstract:
A waterproof apparatus includes a case having a communication hole that allows an inside and an outside of the case to communicate with each other, and a waterproof cap that closes the communication hole, wherein a first contact surface and a second contact surface extend in the communication hole and at different levels, wherein the waterproof cap includes a plate-like first elastic member that is longer than the communication hole in a long-side direction of the communication hole, and a second elastic member attached to a surface of the first elastic member, the surface facing the communication hole, and wherein when the first elastic member that is in a bent state is brought into contact with the first contact surface, the waterproof cap is retained on an inner wall of the communication hole with a restoring force exerted by the first elastic member.

Claim (Index 9):
A waterproof apparatus comprising:\n a case having a communication hole that allows an inside and an outside of the case to communicate with each other; and a waterproof cap that closes the communication hole, wherein a contact surface extends in the communication hole, wherein the waterproof cap includes a plate-like first elastic member that is longer than the communication hole in a long-side direction of the communication hole; a peripheral wall standing from a surface of the first elastic member, the surface facing the communication hole, and at a position that faces the contact surface, the peripheral wall having a tip that is to be brought into contact with the contact surface; and a second elastic member held on the peripheral wall, and wherein when the tip of the peripheral wall is brought into contact with the contact surface while the first elastic member is in a bent state, the waterproof cap is retained on an inner wall of the communication hole with a restoring force exerted by the first elastic member while the second elastic member is brought into contact with the contact surface such that water entry is stopped.
