Abstract: An apparatus includes a chassis with at least one chassis latching member and an outward facing, protruding portion. A cover of the apparatus includes an opening that encompasses the protruding portion of the chassis and at least one cover latching member that interfaces with the chassis latching member. The cover is slidably disengagable from the chassis by applying a first force on the protruding portion of the chassis in a first direction and applying a second force on the cover in a second direction.

Abstract: An apparatus (100) for a portable electronic device, the apparatus comprising first and second housings (1, 2) and a shield member (3), the first and second housings (1, 2) configured to be laterally slidable relative to one another between a first configuration and a second configuration, the second configuration providing a configuration in which the second housing (2) is moved laterally away from the first housing (1) compared to the first configuration, wherein the apparatus (100) is configured to be moveable from the second configuration to a third configuration in which the second housing (2) is tilted relative to the first housing (1) to reveal a defined spacing (S) between the tilted first and second housings (1, 2), and wherein the apparatus (100) is configured such that the shield member (3) is positioned to at least partially enclose the spacing (S) defined between the tilted first and second housings (1, 2) in the third configuration.

Abstract: The present application relates generally to joining two parts mechanically such that movement of the two parts relative to each other is enabled. In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a joint mechanism is configured to connect two apparatus portions. The joint mechanism comprises a main arm and a control arm configured to be connected to a first apparatus portion at their one pivot points, and configured to be connected to a second apparatus portion at their other pivot points. The pivot points are configured to enable movable connection between the two apparatus portions, and at least one of the pivot points comprises a movable pivot point.
