Mechanical fastening system for an electronic equipment housing.

摘要

A housing for miniature electronic equipment is disclosed. A mechanical fastening system is utilized in holding front (301) and rear (303) portions of the housing together without conventional fasteners. The front housing portion (301) has cantilever beam spring catches (213-218) which penetrate slots (223-228) in the rear housing (303) and captivate the rear housing and internal components. The spring catches are fixed in position by supporting rails (203-208) of a detachable battery (105).
