First Claim
Patent Images
1. An input component of a computing device, comprising:
- a magnet located along an internal chassis of the input component;
a biasing mechanism located between the magnet and a ledge of the internal chassis; and
a fastening mechanism configured to attach the biasing mechanism to the ledge of the internal chassis such that the magnet is non-permanently attached to the internal chassis, wherein the biasing mechanism is a spring bracket made of a metal stripe comprising a center section along a surface of the magnet, and two side flanges, each of the two side flanges including fastening holes to attach the spring bracket to the chassis.
