CARBON FIBER-BASED CHASSIS COMPONENTS FOR PORTABLE INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEMS

摘要

A chassis component of an information handling system may include a chassis main lid component constructed of carbon fiber composite material that supports a lid chassis antenna housing that includes an internal antenna cavity defined therein to create an antenna window for the system. The carbon fiber composite material may be attached to the chassis antenna housing by an interlocking rib that provides sufficient joint strength to allow for a substantially larger and extended chassis antenna housing with larger antenna window that may be spaced further away from the carbon fiber composite material of the chassis main lid component than would otherwise be possible for the same form factor size so as to minimize or substantially eliminate shielding or blocking of wireless signals by the carbon fiber composite material lid component that would result in reduced system wireless performance.

主权项

1. A portable information handling system, comprising:
a chassis antenna housing having an antenna cavity defined therein between a first end and a second end of the chassis antenna housing, the chassis antenna housing including a first elongated rib formed on the first end of the chassis antenna housing; and a separate main chassis component comprising carbon fiber composite material, the main chassis component including a second elongated rib formed on a first end of the main chassis component; where the first elongated rib and second elongated rib are coupled together in interlocking mated relationship to support the chassis antenna housing from the first end of the main chassis component in extended cantilevered relationship to the main chassis component.
