  • Publication number: 20070032116
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a circuit board (10), a connector (20) disposed on the circuit board, an electronic component (30) electrically connected to the connector, and a retaining member (40). The circuit board defines a hole (12). The retaining member includes a positioning portion (44), and a pressing portion (42) connecting with the positioning portion. The pressing portion includes a pair of resilient pressing arms (426) pressing against the electronic component and holding it in position. The positioning portion comprises a locating post (444) engagingly received in the hole of the circuit board. The locating post includes a resilient hook (446). The hook is retractable, so that the locating post can be easily passed through the hole of the circuit board. Thus, the retaining member can be easily attached to or removed from the assembly.

  • Patent number: 7170014
    Abstract: An EMI shield apparatus includes an EMI shield (10) and a heat sink (20). The EMI shield comprises a pair of first sidewalls (14), a pair of second sidewalls (16), and an interconnecting top wall (12). The top wall and the first and second sidewalls cooperatively surround a receiving space (18). An electronic component (64) is received in the receiving space to be shielded. The heat sink is mounted between the top wall and the electronic component. A pair of receiving grooves (22) is defined in opposite sides of the heat sink. At least one projection (142) is stamped into an inner face of each of the first sidewalls, the projections received in the corresponding receiving groove. The EMI shield apparatus can not only protect the electronic component from EMI, but also can effectively dissipate heat generated by the electronic component.

  • Publication number: 20060284771
    Abstract: A communication device includes a housing (20) and an antenna (10). The housing comprises a retaining portion (22). The retaining portion defines a hole (24) surrounded by an inner wall (21). The inner wall includes a plurality of rib portions (28) parallel to a center axis (220) of the hole. A length of each of the rib portions is shorter than an overall length of the inner wall. Ends of the rib portions cooperatively form a step (27), and a pair of stop walls (29) is formed at opposite ends of the step respectively. The rib portions define a plurality of slots (26) therebetween. The antenna is rotatably attached to the retaining portion. The antenna includes a protrusion (166), and a width of each of the slot is slightly smaller than that of the protrusion. The stop wall and the protrusion cooperatively prevent the antenna from rotating excessively.

  • Patent number: 7091910
    Abstract: An antenna assembly includes an electrical device (20) and an antenna coating (10). The electrical device includes a circuit board(22), an insulative cover (11) and a connection portion (24) pivotally interconnecting the circuit board and the insulative cover. The antenna coating is formed on the insulative cover and substantially covers the connection portion, thereby establishing electrical connection with the circuit board via the connection portion. By pivotally rotating the insulative cover on the electrical device, the antenna performance can be improved. Because the antenna coating is directly formed on the insulative cover of the electrical device, the antenna assembly has a simple structure.
