ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING A HYBRID HOUSING ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18516839 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING A HYBRID HOUSING ASSEMBLY

The abstract describes an electronic device enclosure with a housing assembly that includes a composite housing component, combining metal and composite materials.

  • The housing assembly features a housing component made partially from metal, connected to a composite housing component through a metal joining element.
  • The innovation allows for the creation of electronic devices with durable and lightweight enclosures.
  • The use of composite materials enhances the strength and impact resistance of the housing assembly.
  • Metal joining elements ensure a secure connection between the metal and composite components.
  • This design provides a balance of structural integrity and weight reduction in electronic device enclosures.

Potential Applications: - Consumer electronics - Industrial equipment - Automotive components

Problems Solved: - Enhancing durability and impact resistance of electronic device enclosures - Reducing the weight of electronic devices without compromising strength

Benefits: - Improved durability and impact resistance - Lightweight design for portable electronic devices - Enhanced structural integrity for various applications

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Electronic Device Enclosures for Enhanced Durability This technology can be utilized in the manufacturing of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices where lightweight and durable enclosures are essential. The market implications include increased product lifespan and customer satisfaction due to the improved quality of the enclosures.

Questions about Electronic Device Enclosures: 1. How does the use of composite materials benefit the durability of electronic device enclosures? Composite materials enhance the strength and impact resistance of the enclosures, making them more durable and long-lasting. 2. What role do metal joining elements play in connecting the metal and composite components of the housing assembly? Metal joining elements ensure a secure and reliable connection between the different materials, maintaining the structural integrity of the enclosure.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device enclosure including a housing assembly is described. The housing assembly may include a composite housing component. For example, the housing assembly may include a housing component formed at least in part from a metal and coupled to a composite housing component at least in part by a metal joining element included in the composite housing component. Electronic devices including these enclosures are also described.
