    Abstract: The described embodiment relates generally to the field of press-fit technology. Press-fit technology results in deformation of one component to lock another component in place. This deformation commonly causes surface strain to occur on the deforming component. When a component is anodized surface strain can result in anodization cracking; this ruins the finished appearance of cosmetic surfaces, generally resulting in ghosting lines and splotches appearing on the surface of a component. The described embodiment achieves a careful balance between component deformation and surface strain. By utilizing specific press-fit geometries and assembly methods, surface strain can be sufficiently limited to eliminate anodization cracking while also achieving a durable press-fit joint.

    Abstract translation: 所描述的实施例一般涉及压配技术领域。 压配技术导致一个部件的变形,以将另一个部件锁定到位。 这种变形通常导致在变形部件上发生表面应变。 当组分阳极氧化时,表面应变会导致阳极氧化开裂; 这会破坏化妆品表面的完成外观,通常会导致在组件表面出现重影线和斑点。 所描述的实施例在部件变形和表面应变之间实现了谨慎的平衡。 通过利用特定的压配合几何形状和组装方法,可以充分限制表面应变以消除阳极氧化裂纹,同时还实现耐用的压配合接头。

    Abstract: An accessory unit includes a front flap and a rear cover. The rear cover includes a recessed portion that defines a chamber and a frame that extends about an opening of the chamber. The chamber is configured to receive a consumer electronic device, and the frame is configured to hold the consumer electronic device therein. For example, the frame may define a multi-sided cross-section with an inner edge thereof configured to engage a chamfered edge of the consumer electronic device. The front flap may include segments formed from panels with folding regions therebetween, which allow the front flap to fold. Further, an end region of the front flap hingedly couples the front flap to the rear cover, such that the front flap may be moved between open and closed configurations.
