    Abstract: An internal fastening feature that also acts as a means of separating a housing body from a protective cover is disclosed. The internal fastening feature includes two arms that meet at a central hub that is pivotally coupled to a bracket. The bracket is coupled to an interior-facing surface of the protective cover. A first arm defines a threaded opening that receives a fastener that keeps the protective cover coupled with the housing body. A second arm, extending in a different direction than the first arm, is positioned above a protrusion of the housing body. When the fastener is disengaged from the first arm, a disengaging tool can apply a force to the first arm that rotates the second arm until it presses against the protrusion. The force applied to the protrusion is then transmitted to the protective cover, which is consequently pushed away from the housing body.

    Abstract: An electronic device having a semi-rigid battery pack is disclosed. The semi-rigid battery pack offers an internal power supply with relatively high energy density (energy per volume) with a stiff cover covering the battery pack to shield other internal components from the battery pack. The cover may also be formed with a larger dimension than that of the battery pack such that when the battery pack undergoes a swelling event, the battery pack increases its volume while still be contained by the cover. In this manner, other internal components may be positioned proximate to the cover without being affected by the battery pack. In another embodiment, a mold member covers an outer peripheral portion and supports the battery pack while allowing the battery pack to undergo a swelling event.

    Abstract: This application relates to securing and positioning internal components within a housing of a portable computing device. In one embodiment, a number of insert molded retaining members are utilized to inhibit outward deformation of a sidewall of the housing during a drop event. In another embodiment, a cowling is utilized to retain a number of board-to-board connectors within communication slots on a printed circuit board (PCB). In another embodiment, a C-shaped washer having diametrically opposed protrusions is utilized to adjust an alignment of an internal component.

    Abstract: A housing for a personal electronic device is described herein. The housing may include at least structural member configured to be arranged within an internal cavity of the housing. The at least structural member is aligned with a feature external to the housing. The at least one structural member is affixed to an interior surface of the internal cavity. Furthermore, the at least structural member and housing are co-machined to define a coaxial aperture for accepting the feature.
