Abstract: An electronic device having multiple housing components interlocked together by a molded material is disclosed. In order to provide interlocking surfaces for the molded material, the housing components can include various geometries designed to receive and retain the molded material such that the housing components are secured with one another. For example, a first housing part can undergo several material removal operations to form multiple ribs, each with through holes. When the molded material extends along the ribs and into the through holes, the molded material cures and interlocks with the first housing part. A second housing part can include several stepped indentions that receive the molded material. Also, a third housing part can include a dovetail indention to receive the molded material such that the first and second housing parts interlock with the third housing part. The indentions can provide retention in three dimensions to protect against decoupling.

Abstract: Eine elektronische Vorrichtung kann eine drahtlose Schaltung mit Antennen aufweisen. Ein Antennenresonanzelementarm für eine Antenne kann aus leitenden Peripheriestrukturen ausgebildet sein, die entlang der Kanten eines Vorrichtungsgehäuses verlaufen. Die leitenden Peripheriestrukturen können Gehäuseseitenwände bilden. Ein Schlitz kann in einem Metallgehäuse hergestellt sein, der die Gehäuseseitenwände von einem ebenen Gehäuserückwandabschnitt trennt, der eine Masse für eine Antenne bildet. Der Schlitz kann mit Kunststofffüllmaterial gefüllt sein. Ein parasitärer Antennenresonanzelementarm, der eine Antennenresonanz bei hohen Bandfrequenzen unterstützt, kann in dem Kunststofffüllmaterial eingebettet sein. Das parasitäre Antennenresonanzelement kann aus einem Abschnitt des ebenen Gehäuserückwandabschnitts ausgebildet sein.

Abstract: An enclosure or housing for a portable electronic device includes a first portion with a first interlocking micro-feature and second portion comprising a second interlocking micro-feature. A dielectric element fills a channel formed by the portions and/or the first and second interlocking micro-features to interlock the first portion with the second portion.
