Abstract: Disclosed is an invention in the field of automated assembly. The present invention particularly relates to a system and method to attach items such as decorative materials to desired objects. The present invention automatically picks up and places decorative materials such as crystals or rhinestones on a three-dimensional (3-D) surface of an object utilizing a multi-axis robot. A digital file of the object is created that would represent the surfaces of the object, and decorative materials are then placed on the digital object in a design or pattern. Upon loading the physical object in the machine, a computer program designed to process the designs calculates the position, color, and size, for each decorative element or rhinestone. The user then loads the required decorative materials into the system and runs the system.

Abstract: A laptop computer includes a base member and a lid member pivotally attached to the base member. A latch member is mounted in the lid member. The latch member includes a top, a bottom, and opposite sides. A hook member protrudes from the top of the latch member. A spring retaining member is positioned adjacent the bottom of the latch member. A pair of flexible snap-in members are positioned on the opposite sides. A first one of the flexible snap-in members is positioned on a first one of the sides and a second one of the flexible snap-in members is positioned on a second one of the sides. The spring retaining member is positioned between the flexible snap-in members. The base member includes a receiver for receiving the hook member.
