    Abstract: Glue-free hinge assemblies including press-fit pins are disclosed. A press-fit pin of one material can mechanically attach to a workpiece of another material during a press fit operation. The press-fit pin can include a pin shaft having a chamfered first end, a notched portion, a grooved portion having axial grooves, a clinching feature, and a sealing feature. The chamfered first end can guide the press-fit pin into a counter-bored receiving hole in the workpiece. The axial grooves can etch the workpiece material to rotationally lock the press fit-pin into the receiving hole. The clinching feature can plastically deform workpiece material into the notched portion to axially lock the press-fit pin into receiving hole without causing substantial axial expansion of the workpiece. The sealing feature can form a stepped fit between an outer diameter of the press-fit pin and an outer diameter of the counter-bored receiving hole.

    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.
