Support structures for computing devices

摘要

Embodiments of the subject technology provides novel approaches to providing structural components for mobile computing devices to meet structural and physical form factor requirements for such devices. More specifically, the subject technology describes examples of novel mid-frame structural components, opposing snap features, camera support housing with an integrated lens, and a flexible printed circuit design with a self aligning dome FPC to button configuration.

主权项

1. A mobile device comprising:
a mid-frame support structure having a rectangular shape, the mid-frame support structure including a first interlocking feature disposed along a first side of the mid-frame support structure and extending substantially parallel from the mid-frame support structure, the mid-frame support structure being within the mobile device and behind a display of the mobile device; a speaker support structure including a first speaker, a second speaker, and a second interlocking feature disposed along a first side of the speaker support structure, the second interlocking feature configured to mechanically couple with the first interlocking feature to form a mid-frame structure; a rear cover of the mobile device including a surface, the mid-frame support structure abutting the surface; and a camera support housing configured to hold a camera, the camera support housing being aligned with a first inner edge of the rear cover and a second inner edge of the rear cover, wherein the speaker support structure is disposed substantially parallel to the mid-frame support structure.
