Publication number: 20230337384Abstract: An electronic device having an enclosure formed from at least one glass cover and a peripheral structure formed adjacent the periphery of the glass cover is disclosed. The peripheral structure can be secured adjacent to the glass cover with an adhesive. The peripheral structure can be molded adjacent the glass cover so that a gapless interface is formed between the peripheral structure and the periphery of the glass cover. In one embodiment, the peripheral structure includes at least an inner peripheral structure and an outer peripheral structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: David Pakula, Stephen Brian Lynch, Richard Hung Minh Dinh, Tang Yew Tan, Lee Hua Tan

Patent number: 9844898Abstract: Various processes for creating mirrored features are discussed herein as well as devices that include the mirrored features. One embodiment includes a button having a transparent layer and an opaque layer coupled to the transparent layer. A portion of the transparent layer extends through the opaque layer so that the portion of the transparent layer is flush with a back surface of the opaque layer and generally has a shape of a desired feature. The button also includes a reflective object positioned so that it may be seen through the transparent layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Matthew D. Hill, Wayne Wei-Cheng Huang, Lee Hua Tan, Nicholas Isaac Reid, Reid Collins, Richard Hung Minh Dinh, Ian A. Spraggs

Patent number: 9182789Abstract: An electronic device may have components such as button members, display cover glass layers, structures associated with connector ports, and other components. The components may have transparent and opaque structures. The transparent structures may be formed on top of the opaque structures. The transparent structures may have peripheral edges through which light may pass. To help prevent the appearance of the components from becoming degraded by the presence of dirt, at least some of the edge portions of the transparent structures may be covered with an opaque covering material. The opaque covering material may be formed from paint or sidewall structures that are formed as an integral part of the opaque structures.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Matthew Hill, Richard Hung Minh Dinh, Lucy E. Browning, Lee Hua Tan, Tang Yew Tan
