Mounting clip for set top box enclosures

摘要

Various embodiments provide a set top box enclosure having a chassis and a cover. The chassis also includes a mounting clip that facilitates the coupling of the cover to the chassis. The mounting clip includes an engagement structure on the cover that engages with a mating receiving structure located along an edge of the chassis. The mounting clip attaches a side of the cover with a side of the chassis of the set top box enclosure together and facilitates tool less engagement and disengagement of that side.

主权项

1. A set top box enclosure comprising:
a chassis including an interior defined by a base and a first sidewall extending from a perimeter of the base in a first direction; a cover having a perimeter and a first surface that faces the interior of the chassis; an engagement structure that extends from the first surface of the cover at the perimeter, the engagement structure including:
an engagement structure stud having a first end coupled to the first surface of the cover and a second end opposite to the first end; anda protrusion extending from the second end of the stud, the protrusion having a semicircular cross section; a receiving structure at a distal end of the first sidewall, the receiving structure including:
a ledge having a second surface extending in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction;a cavity configured to mate with the protrusion of the engagement structure to aid in securing the cover to the chassis; andan extension having a third surface extending in the first direction and a fourth surface extending in the second direction, the extension being spaced from the ledge by the cavity, the third surface and the fourth surface being in contact with the engagement structure stud and the first surface, respectively, when the cavity is mated with the protrusion; a cover stud extending from the first surface of the cover; and a chassis stud extending from the base of the chassis and configured to engage with the cover stud to aid in securing the cover to the chassis.
