<p>Multiple layers of electronic components are secured within a wireless communication device, such as a cellular telephone, by gripping the component layers between two different portions of the device's enclosure (10), thereby preventing substantial vertical movement of the component layers within the combined housing. A first housing section (20), typically the front portion of the device's shell housing, includes both a first set of holding surfaces (34), and a second set of holding surfaces (36) which are preferably, but not necessarily, lying in two different planes. Preferably, these holding surfaces are portions of fingers (30) that extend downwardly away from the first housing section (20). When the two housing sections are joined, the first set of holding surfaces (34) directly contacts the lower component layer (80) and presses the same against the second housing section (50). Likewise, the second set of holding surfaces (36) directly contacts the second component layer (90) and presses the same against the second housing section (50). In this manner, the first and second component layers (80, 90) are vertically trapped between the first and second housing sections (20, 50).</p> |
