Problems solved by technology

Screws are the strongest method, but undesirably often use many small parts that are individually assembled into a device, and visually damage the surface they are applied across
The lugs and snaps are typically visually hidden, but are undesirably less secure and offer limited shear strength against torsional movement, giving the product a flimsy, low-quality feel

Embodiment Construction

[0012] As noted in the Background section, many electronic and other products include housings that are assembled during manufacture to form housings for the various components of the product. Such products can include laptop and desktop computers, cell phones, and many other examples. These products typically include at least one generally box-shaped housing that encloses the internal components of the product. A desktop computer or a bar cell phone may have one such case. A laptop or clamshell phone may include two or more of these cases; for example, one for the display and another for the base that houses the keyboard.

[0013] It is desirable to have the ability to quickly assemble the enclosure during manufacture. In many cases it is also desirable to have the ability to quickly and easily disassemble the housing during service and repair by separating the housing and then easily reassemble when the job is complete, again forming a robust mechanical structure resistant...

Abstract

A casing has a first shell and a second shell. The housing is slidably engaged along a first axis to form the housing. In one example, a compressed resilient member pushes the housing together.

Description

technical field Background technique [0001] Screws, tabs, or snaps are typically used to secure the housings of electronic devices, such as laptops, tablets, cell phones, and many other devices. Screws are the strongest method, but undesirably often use many small parts that are individually assembled into the device, and visually damage the surfaces they are applied across. The lugs and snaps are typically visually hidden, but are undesirably less secure and provide limited shear strength against torsional movement, giving the product a flimsy, low quality feel. Contents of the invention Description of drawings [0002] Figures 1A-1C is a schematic illustration of a drop and slide assembly method for an enclosure according to an example of the present disclosure. [0003] Figure 2A-2B is a schematic cut-away side view of a first set of two shells of a housing according to an example of the present disclosure, before and after sliding engagement of the shells, respec...
