SYSTEMS AND METHODS RETAINING COMPONENTS IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17918075 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS RETAINING COMPONENTS IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a fastener for holding multiple components in an electronic device. The fastener has a body with a bottom end and a top end, and includes a mechanical interlocking feature at the bottom end and a head at the top end. The body also has a shoulder between the head and the mechanical interlocking feature, and a neck between the shoulder and the head.

  • The fastener is designed to retain multiple components in an electronic device.
  • It has a mechanical interlocking feature at the bottom end for secure attachment.
  • The top end has a head for easy handling and manipulation.
  • The body includes a shoulder between the head and the mechanical interlocking feature.
  • A neck is positioned between the shoulder and the head, with a smaller diameter than the head and shoulder.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electronic devices assembly and manufacturing.
  • Automotive industry for securing components.
  • Aerospace industry for fastening parts in aircraft.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a secure and reliable method for retaining multiple components.
  • Simplifies the assembly process of electronic devices.
  • Prevents components from becoming loose or detached during operation.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency in assembly and manufacturing processes.
  • Enhanced reliability and durability of electronic devices.
  • Reduces the risk of component failure or damage.
  • Easy handling and manipulation of the fastener during installation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A fastener () for retaining a plurality of components () in an electronic device includes a body () with a bottom end and a top end, where the bottom end includes a mechanical interlocking feature () integrally formed with the bottom end and the top end includes a head () integrally formed with the top end. Between the head () and the mechanical interlocking feature (), the body includes an integrally formed shoulder (). A neck () is positioned between the shoulder () and the head () with a neck outer diameter that is less than a head outer diameter and a shoulder outer diameter.
