MECHANICAL LATCH INCLUDING RF ANTENNA

摘要

A portable electronic device, including a base (100) mechanically coupled to a display enclosure (102) with a hinge (110), is built including latches (112) on the display enclosure (102) configured to mechanically lock the display enclosure (102) to the base (100) when the display is closed. The latches (112) are permanently coupled to the display enclosure (102) and are electrically coupled to a wireless network circuit (116) in such a manner as to act as an RF antenna for the wireless network (116).
