ROTATIONAL ASSEMBLY METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

The described embodiments relate generally to methods of assembly of electronic devices. In particular, a rotationally induced pressure is used to activate a securing mechanism positioned between a component and an enclosure. The component and the securing mechanism may be located in an inaccessible region of the enclosure such that traditional, direct, assembly processes may not be feasible. The securing mechanism may take the form of a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive or a fastener between the component and an interior surface of the enclosure.

主权项

1. A method of rotational assembly, comprising:
providing an enclosure, a component, and a securing mechanism; positioning the component within the enclosure and positioning the securing mechanism between the component and the enclosure to define a product in a partially assembled configuration; and rotating the product in the partially assembled configuration about an axis to activate the securing mechanism.
