Benefits of technology

"The invention is an ornamental panel for electronic devices that can be easily attached and removed without being damaged. The panel has magnetic members on one side that attach to the operation area of the device, and anchor struts on the side that secure the panel to the operation area. The panel can be easily removed and installed without any additional tools or elements. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and easy way to customize the appearance of electronic devices."

Problems solved by technology

However, it is not desirable in the situation in which removal frequently occurs, since the attachment pins are easily damaged.
Once damaged, the ornamental panel cannot be fastened to the electronic device, which is a big disadvantage.

Embodiment Construction

[0013] Refer to FIG. 1 for an exploded view of the invention. The ornamental panel 100 for electronic devices according to the invention has one or more magnetic members 110 on one side that is fastened to the ornamental panel 100 through screw bolts 120, or by bonding through adhesive. The ornamental panel 100 also has anchor struts 130 on the side which where the magnetic member 110 is located. In this embodiment, four anchor struts are provided.

[0014] Referring to FIG. 2, the ornamental panel 100 is adopted for use on an electronic device 300 to enhance its appeal. Hence the other side opposite to where the magnetic member 110 is located is formed with a desired profile to give the electronic device 300 a more attractive appearance. The electronic device 300 has an operation area 310. The ornamental panel 100 through the magnetic member 100 attracts precisely the operation area 310. The operation area 310 has four anchor holes 320 to couple with the anchor struts 130. Thereby th...

Abstract

An ornamental panel for an electronic device to cover an operation area of the electronic device. It includes one or more magnetic member on one side corresponding to the operation area such that the ornamental panel is attracted to the operation area. The ornamental panel can be easily installed on the electronic device and removed quickly whenever desired.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional application No. 60 / 684,995 filed May 27, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of Invention [0003] The invention relates to an ornamental panel, and particularly to an ornamental panel that can be attached to an electronic device through magnetic attraction. [0004] 2. Related Art [0005] The typical electronic device is covered by ornamental elements to prevent exposure of too many mechanical or electronic elements that might detract from its appearance. The ornamental elements are mostly formed in ornamental panels to be fastened to the electronic device. They usually are fastened to the electronic device through screw bolts. Another fastening approach is latching. The ornamental panel has attachment pins on one side facing the electronic device to be directly latched on the electronic device. Such an approach makes installation and fastening faster. However, it is not de...
