Problems solved by technology

The problem is, some designs require as many as 7 antennas, which means extra wires have to be used to connect the antennas to the board, and extra fixtures or antenna brackets have to be installed in the device to support the antennas
In addition, not only do antennas involve additional handling of the work product in the factory thus putting other components at risk and increasing manufacturing costs, but these antennas are prone to electrostatic discharge during use

Embodiment Construction

[0048] figure 1 A perspective view of a vertically oriented electronic device 200 housing antenna bracket 601 and antenna 602 is shown. The device may include a top 210, a front wall 208, a rear wall 206, side walls 204 and a base 205.

[0049] figure 2 Three main components of the vertically oriented electronic device 200 are shown. These three components are the case bottom piece 213 , the case top front piece 211 and the case top rear piece 212 . The case top front 211 and the case top rear 212 are the upper part of the device 200 .

[0050] image 3 is a perspective view of a retaining clip 214 , optionally constructed of metal, for engaging and securing the case bottom piece 213 to the case top front piece 211 and / or the case top rear piece 212 . The holding clip 214 is arranged toward the bottom of the electronic device, and is a key component of a locking mechanism applied on the electronic device. By arranging the holding clip 214 at the bottom, the antenna brac...

Abstract

A method for manufacturing an electronic device is provided, the method comprising: configuring one or more printed circuit boards with a plurality of antennas, the antennas being connected to at least one printed circuit board having a wire securing slot. The electronic device may have a vertical orientation and have a housing including a housing bottom piece, a housing top front piece and a housing top rear piece. The features may include providing a rest slot in the case top back for holding the board at an angle relative to the inner surface of the case top back to allow connection to a printed circuit board which may include connecting the antenna leads Connects to an antenna connector on a printed circuit board in which the antenna wires are secured in wire retaining slots before being connected to the antenna connector. The printed circuit board may be attached to only one side wall of one of the case top front or case top rear part.

Description

[0001] References to related applications [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 62 / 150,062, filed April 20, 2015, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present principles relate generally to electronics, and more particularly to electronic equipment and antenna mounting arrangements within electronic equipment. Background technique [0004] Typically, an electronic device such as a set-top box is an assembled device having multiple walls and other components. These other components may include printed circuit boards, heat sinks or fins, wires, hard drives, smart card components, and antennas. In a high-volume manufacturing environment, multiple walls and components make assembly of these devices quite challenging. Therefore, there is a need to ensure that these components are shelved, mounted and installed in a quick and safe manner. In addition, there...
