Extruded Housing for Hand-Held Device with a cap for covering two or more adjacent sides
First Claim
1. A housing for a hand-held electronic device comprising:
- an extruded element having a length and a profile, the length corresponding to a distance that the extruded element extends in the direction of extrusion, and the profile corresponding to a cross-section of the element, which is perpendicular to the direction of extrusion;
wherein the profile of the extruded element has a major axis which extends a distance in a first direction and a minor axis which extends a distance in a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and wherein the amount of the distance that the profile extends in the direction of the major axis is greater than the amount of the distance that the profile extends in the direction of the minor axiswherein the length of the extruded element in the direction of extrusion is less than the amount of the distance that the profile extends in the direction of the major axis.

Abstract
A housing for a hand-held electronic device is provided. The housing includes an extruded element having a length and a profile, the length corresponding to a distance that the extruded element extends in the direction of extrusion, and the profile corresponding to a cross-section of the element, which is perpendicular to the direction of extrusion. The profile of the extruded element has a major axis which extends a distance in a first direction and a minor axis which extends a distance in a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The amount of the distance that the profile extends in the direction of the major axis is greater than the amount of the distance that the profile extends in the direction of the minor axis. The length of the extruded element in the direction of extrusion is less than the amount of the distance that the profile extends in the direction of the major axis.
