Assembly of a handheld electronic device

摘要

Several mechanical features of an electronic device are provided. In some embodiments, the device may include a bezel coupled to a housing. One or more snaps of the bezel may be operative to engage a cantilever spring of the housing. In some embodiments, the device may include a window that is formed by coupling an outer layer to an inner layer that is larger than the outer layer. In some embodiments, the device may include a chassis for supporting the window. In some embodiments, the device may include a grounding clip for simultaneously grounding the bezel, the housing and a circuit board. In some embodiments, the device may include a switch that includes a button molded into a base using a double shot process. In some embodiments, the device may include a switch supporting bracket that includes a slot operative to receive a pin of the bezel.

主权项

1. A chassis for supporting a window in an electronic device comprising a housing, the chassis comprising:
a plate operative to be placed against a back surface of the window, wherein the window rests against a top surface of the plate; at least two posts extending from a bottom surface of the plate, wherein each of the at least two posts has a first portion that is less stiff than a second portion and the first portion is operative to elastically absorb impacts on the window; and at least one compliant member placed between the at least two posts and the housing of the electronic device case, wherein the at least one compliant member is operative to deform in response to a force applied to the window.
