ELECTRONIC DEVICE HOUSING AND ASSEMBLY METHOD
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a first housing of a single piece of material, the first housing including first and second spaced apart major walls that extend in lateral directions and at least three side walls extending perpendicular to the lateral directions between the major walls, the major walls and the side walls defining an internal cavity, the first housing defining an opening to the internal cavity opposite one of the side walls;
at least one support member within the internal cavity of the first housing adjacent at least one of the major walls or one of the side walls thereof;
at least one electronic component contained within the internal cavity of the first housing; and
a first cover removably affixed over the opening of the first housing;
wherein at least one of the support member and the first cover contributes to a retention force applied on the at least one electronic component within the internal cavity of the first housing.

Abstract
An electronic device includes a first housing of a single piece of material that has first and second spaced apart major walls that extend in lateral directions and at least three side walls extending perpendicular to the lateral directions between the major walls. The major walls and the side walls define an internal cavity, and the first housing defines an opening to the internal cavity opposite one of the side walls. At least one support member is within the internal cavity of the first housing adjacent a major walls a side wall thereof. At least one electronic component is contained within the internal cavity, and a first cover is removably affixed over the opening. At least one of the support member and the first cover contributes to a retention force applied on the at least one electronic component within the internal cavity of the first housing.
