  • Patent number: 9601286
    Abstract: Several mechanical features of an electronic device are provided. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a bezel coupled to a housing. The bezel may include one or more snaps extending into the electronic device which may be operative to engage a cantilever spring extending from the inner surface of the housing. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a window that is formed by coupling an outer layer to an inner layer that is larger than the outer layer. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a chassis for supporting the window. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a grounding clip for simultaneously grounding the bezel, the housing and a circuit board. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a switch that includes a button molded into a base using a double shot process. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a switch supporting bracket that includes a slot operative to receive a pin of the bezel.

  • Publication number: 20060022107
    Abstract: Described is a ceiling mount (e.g., for a wireless communication device) which may include a first channel member, a second channel member and a ramp. The first channel member may include a first side surface extending upward a first predetermined distance from a top surface of a housing of the device and a first horizontal surface extending away from the first side surface in a first direction substantially parallel to the top surface for a second predetermined distance to define a first ceiling member receiving channel between the first horizontal surface and the top surface.
