Abstract: A cold worked stainless steel bezel (310) for a portable electronic device is provided. The bezel is secured flush to a housing to form part of the case of the portable electronic device. A brace (210) that includes a slot for receiving a wall extending from the bezel is fixed to the housing. 5 When the bezel engages the housing, the wall of the bezel is inserted in the slot of the brace and releasably held by a spring (410) that engages both the brace and the wall. The bezel can be released by disengaging the spring, (e.g., using a special tool or a magnetic field). Because the bezel is manufactured from cold worked stainless steel, it is hard and resistant to impacts. Cold worked steel also facilitates manufacturing within design constraints and tolerances, and requires 0 very little machining after manufacturing to comply with those constraints. The portable electronic device may include a personal media device, a mobile telephone, or any other suitable device or combination thereof.

Abstract: A cold worked stainless steel bezel (310) for a portable elctronic device is provided. The bezel is secured flush to a housing to form part of the case of the portable electronic device.

When the bezel engages the housing, the wall of the bezel is inserted in the slot of the brace and releasably held by a spring (410) that engages both the brace and the wall.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于便携式电子装置的冷加工不锈钢表圈（310）。 表圈与外壳齐平地固定，形成便携式电子设备的外壳的一部分。 包括用于接收从边框延伸的壁的槽的支架（210）固定到壳体。 当挡板接合壳体时，挡板的壁被插入支架的槽中并且可由与支架和壁两者接合的弹簧（410）可释放地保持。 可以通过松开弹簧（例如使用专用工具或磁场）来释放挡板。 由于表圈由冷加工的不锈钢​​制成，因此耐冲击性强。 冷加工钢还有助于在设计限制和公差范围内的制造，并且在制造后需要很少的加工以符合这些限制。 便携式电子设备可以包括个人媒体设备，移动电话或任何其它合适的设备或其组合。
