Display window securing system
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a housing; and
a component mounted in said housing;
wherein;
said component has a first depending tab at a first end thereof and a second depending tab at a second end thereof;
said first depending tab has a hook thereon;
said housing has an aperture therein; and
said hook engages said aperture;
said device further comprising;
a fastener extending into said housing through a fastener opening in said housing and through said second depending tab; and
an adjustment element that interacts with said fastener;
wherein;
adjustment of said fastener in a first adjustment direction moves said component in a first direction of motion relative to said housing; and
adjustment of said fastener in a second adjustment direction moves said component in a second direction of motion relative to said housing opposite to said first direction of motion relative to said housing.

Abstract
A display window assembly is mounted in the opening of a bezel of a housing, and a force is exerted against the assembly by a suitable resilient element urging it outward through the opening. The assembly may be mounted on a support or frame, from which depends one or more tabs extending inwardly of the housing. At least one of the tabs is fastened with a fastener that extends from the exterior of the housing, through a portion other than the bezel and through a surface not generally facing the user when the user is viewing the display. The advancement/withdrawal direction of the fastener is not substantially normal to the display window. However, advancement/withdrawal of the fastener causes movement of the tab, and therefore of the assembly, in an adjustment direction substantially normal to the display window to adjust the position of the display window relative to the bezel.

8. A device comprising:
-
a functional module; and a housing at most partially surrounding said functional module;
wherein;said functional module has an integral first fastener portion; said housing has an integral second fastener portion; and said integral first fastener portion and said integral second fastener portion engage one another to partially retain said functional module in said housing;
said device further comprising;a removable fastener inserted from outside said housing into said functional module to adjustably retain said electronic module in said housing; and an adjustment element that interacts with said removable fastener;
wherein;adjustment of said removable fastener in a first adjustment direction causes said adjustment element to move said functional module in a first direction of motion relative to said housing; and adjustment of said removable fastener in a second adjustment direction causes said adjustment element to move said functional module in a second direction of motion relative to said housing. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
