Abstract: An electronic device may have an electrical component with a moving portion. The moving portion of the electrical component may include a moving mass and may include coils or other circuitry coupled to the moving mass. The moving mass may be supported within a support structure such as a housing structure. Springs may be coupled between walls in the housing structure and end portions of the moving mass. The coils or other circuitry on the moving mass may be coupled to flexible printed circuit cables. The flexible printed circuit cables may be coupled to the coils at the ends of the moving mass adjacent to the springs. The flexible printed circuit cables may have localized stiffeners that help prevent damage to metal traces in the cables during cable bending. The cables may have U-shapes or other suitable shapes.

Abstract: This application relates to various button related embodiments for use with a portable electronic device. In some embodiments, a snap clip can be integrated with a button bracket to save space where two separate brackets would take up too much space in the portable electronic device. In other embodiments, a tactile switch can be waterproofed by welding a polymeric layer atop a tactile switch assembly. In this way water can be prevented from contacting moisture sensitive components of the tactile switch assembly. The weld joining the polymeric layer to the tactile switch can include at least one gap to trapped gas surrounding the tactile switch assembly to enter and exit during heat excursions caused by various operating and/or assembly operations.
Abstract translation: 本申请涉及与便携式电子设备一起使用的各种按钮相关实施例。 在一些实施例中,卡扣夹可以与按钮支架集成,以节省空间,其中两个单独的支架将占据便携式电子装置中太多的空间。 在其他实施例中,触觉开关可以通过在触觉开关组件顶部焊接聚合物层来防水。 以这种方式,可以防止水与触觉开关组件的湿气敏感部件接触。 将聚合物层连接到触觉开关的焊接可以包括围绕触觉开关组件的被捕获的气体的至少一个间隙,以在由各种操作和/或组装操作引起的热偏移期间进入和离开。

Abstract: The embodiments discussed herein relate to electrical switches. Specifically, the embodiments include a pivoting switch that translates a rotational movement of a portion of the pivoting switch into a linear movement for toggling a button. The pivoting switch can include a pin that extends into a bracket in order to define and limit a rotational movement of the pivoting switch. The pivoting switch can further include a switch cavity that can force a knob of the button to move with the pivoting switch. The embodiments can further include an electrical switch having a welded cover plate. The welded cover plate can include arms that extend across and are welded to one or more surfaces of the electrical switch. The welded cover plate provides a more secure retaining mechanism for the electrical switch in order to reduce bending of certain portions of the electrical switch when the electrical switch is toggled.
Abstract translation: 这里讨论的实施例涉及电气开关。 具体地,实施例包括将枢转开关的一部分的旋转运动转换成用于切换按钮的线性运动的枢转开关。 枢转开关可以包括延伸到支架中的销,以便限定和限制枢转开关的旋转运动。 枢转开关还可以包括可以迫使按钮的旋钮随着枢转开关移动的开关腔。 实施例还可以包括具有焊接盖板的电开关。 焊接的盖板可以包括横跨并焊接到电气开关的一个或多个表面的臂。 焊接盖板为电气开关提供了更安全的保持机构,以便在电开关切换时减小电气开关的某些部分的弯曲。

Abstract: This disclosure describes features and methods of formation of a data port for a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a device housing having a wall defining a data port opening. An anchoring feature is formed along a portion of the wall defining the data port opening. A structural support member is positioned within the data port opening and reinforces the data port opening. A polymer material fills a gap between the structural support member and a portion of the wall defining the data port opening. The polymer material engages the anchoring feature to retain the structural support member within the data port opening.

Abstract: An electronic device having openings covered by a vent assembly is disclosed. The vent assembly may include multiple adhesive layers surrounding an air-permeable, liquid resistant membrane that allow air to flow into and/or out of the electronic device, while also preventing liquid ingress into the electronic device. The membrane may be supported by several structural elements. For example, the vent assembly includes an adhesive layer secured with the membrane, with the adhesive layer including a web region having multiple ribs that engage the membrane. Also, the vent assembly includes a mesh material that includes a porous region that receives a portion of the adhesive layer. Also, an additional vent assembly may cover an additional opening of the electronic device and provide protection for an operational component in the electronic device. The additional vent assembly may allow air into the additional opening for the operational component.
