Set top box having light pipe bracket

摘要

A light pipe bracket (6) for an electronic device is provided that comprises a planar main body, light pipes (13) each having a proximal end and a distal end in which the light pipe extends from the distal end at the planar main body toward the distal end, and circuit board holding means (7) that support at least a portion of a circuit in the electronic device.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a base frame; a first printed circuit board over the base frame, the first printed circuited having a front edge; two opposing frame side walls extending perpendicularly from the base frame; a rear frame wall extending perpendicularly from the base frame; a light source positioned between the two opposing frame side walls; a light pipe bracket comprising:
a planar main body being perpendicular to the base frame and opposing the rear frame wall said planar main body having at least one aperture;a light pipe having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is positioned in the at least one aperture, the light pipe extending from the planar main body toward the distal end, the light source positioned at the distal end; a plurality of support bars extending from an edge of the at least one aperture to a periphery of the proximal end in the same plane as the planar main body, thereby supporting the light pipe; and holding means on the planar main body, the holding means engaging the front edge of the first printed circuit board, thereby supporting the first printed circuit board.
