20160066454 | HOUSING FEATURES INCLUDING LOGO FEATURES OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An enclosure having an indicium (e.g., logo) and a method for securing an indicium to an enclosure is disclosed. The enclosure includes an aperture extending through an interior portion and an exterior portion of the enclosure. The aperture may include concentric portions. For example, the aperture may include a first opening formed on an interior portion and a second opening smaller than the first opening formed on the exterior portion. The indicium may include a flange member such that the indicium may extend through the first opening but not the second opening. Also, in some embodiments, a plate is adhesively secured to the indicium and the enclosure; however, the indicium is not directly adhesively secured to the enclosure. This may prevent adhesively from protruding from an interface region between the indicium and the enclosure. | 03-03-2016 |
20160116948 | HOUSING, ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME - A housing includes a metal base and a non-conductive member. The metal base has an internal surface and at least one gap. The non-conductive member covers at least a portion of the internal surface of the metal base, and the non-conductive member is formed on the bottom of the at least one gap. | 04-28-2016 |
20160147258 | METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic device is provided. The device may include a plate placed behind a screen formed from a window and a display module to provide the screen with additional stiffness (e.g., to resist dropping events). The window may be maintained in the electronic device by trapping the window between a bezel and the display module. In some embodiments, the window may include a chamfered edge operative to be received by a recessed edge in the bezel. In some embodiments, the input mechanism of the electronic device may be metallic and need to be grounded, but may be surrounded by components or other non-grounding components. The device may include screws operative to pass through a circuit board to reach a frame, which may serve as a ground, where the screws are located in proximity of the button. In some embodiments, the circuit board may include an additional component for grounding the button | 05-26-2016 |
