Patent number: 10807391Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improvements to printers including the use of engineered structures to limit bending, flexing, and/or twisting during impacts and the use of impact absorbing materials to prevent cracks and breaks. Design features and materials add to the rigidity of the printer design to prevent twisting and flexing during impacts and add to the strength of the printer design in typical breakage areas. For example, embodiments provide improvements that strengthen traditional break areas by the use of improved materials and design optimization to distribute impact forces. Embodiments allow the printer to maintain an operational status following a drop test and/or a tumble test.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: Robert A. Hutnak, James A. Lucas, Anthony R. Helberg, Matthew D. Corvese, Roy P. Lyman
