First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- selectively applying at least one layer of a protective material over one or more of a plurality of elements coupled with a framework for a wearable device configured to be worn by a user, the plurality of elements including at least a sensor;
selectively forming a first inner molding that covers all or substantially all of the at least one layer of the protective material, the plurality of elements, and the framework;
selectively forming a second inner molding that covers all or substantially all of the first inner molding; and
selectively forming an outer molding of the wearable device, the outer molding covering all or substantially all of the second inner molding, the outer molding configured to be positioned in contact with the user.

Abstract
Techniques for component protective overmolding using protective external coatings include selectively applying a protective material substantially over one or more elements coupled to a framework configured to be worn, the elements including at least a sensor, and forming one or more moldings substantially over a subset or all of the framework, the protective material and the elements, after the protective material has been selectively applied, at least one of the one or more moldings having a protective property.
