Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a removable module (102) and a housing for an attachment system of a consumer product (104). The removable module includes a locking mechanism comprising a first portion having a substantially planar top surface and second portion that comprises a substantially non-planar bottom surface. The first portion and the second portion are coupled together. The locking mechanism also includes a first spring mechanism coupled between the first portion and the second portion. The first spring mechanism causes the first portion to be biased away from the second portion. The locking mechanism also includes a second spring mechanism. The second spring mechanism causes the substantially planar top surface of the first portion to be biased substantially flush with respect to the removable module and also causes the substantially non-planar bottom surface of the second portion to be biased proud with respect to the removable module.

Abstract: There is provided a wirelessly locatable device (500) configured to send a wireless signal to an electronic device to facilitate localization of the wirelessly locatable device by the electronic device. The wirelessly locatable device (500) comprises a first housing member (502) defining a first exterior surface of the wirelessly locatable device, a second housing member (516) removably coupled to the first housing member and defining a second exterior surface of the wirelessly locatable device, and an antenna assembly (508). The antenna assembly (508) comprises an antenna frame (802) defining a top surface, a peripheral side surface, and a hole through the top surface. The antenna assembly (508) further comprises a first antenna (806, 826) on the antenna frame along the peripheral side surface and configured to communicate with the electronic device using a first wireless protocol, a second antenna (808, 833) on the antenna frame along the peripheral side surface and configured to send a localization signal to the electronic device using a second wireless protocol different than the first wireless protocol, and a third antenna (804, 824) on the antenna frame along the top surface and configured to communicate with the electronic device via a third wireless protocol different than the first and second wireless protocols. The wirelessly locatable device (500) further comprises an audio system (404, 504, 506) positioned at least partially in the hole and configured to produce an audio output.
