Abstract: Various electronic device enclosures, methods for securing an enclosure and methods for unsecuring an enclosure are described. An enclosure includes a first panel assembly, a second panel assembly, a plurality of first fasteners, and a plurality of second fasteners. A first fastener is provided with one of the first panel assembly and the second panel assembly. A second fastener corresponds to and is couplable with the first fastener and is provided with another of the first panel assembly and the second panel assembly. An interior location for the first fastener and/or the second fastener is not readily apparent when the enclosure is in a secured configuration. Coupling the first fastener with the second fastener secures the enclosure. The enclosure may be a cover flex window enclosure, a cover flex clip enclosure, a cover slide & hook clip enclosure, or a hinged cover with flex clip enclosure.

Abstract: Disclosed are antenna devices, system, and method for packaging and configuring an antenna system into a first configuration and a second configuration. The antenna system may include one or more swivel plates coupling components of the antenna such that they are configured for rotation about one or more axis. Locking apparatuses for each swivel plate may be provided for locking the antenna system into a desired configuration or state. The antenna system may be configured into a first configuration and/or a first state for use and into a second configuration and/or second state for shipping, packaging and storage.

Abstract: A system for coupling a satellite antenna to a mounting structure is provided. The system may include a mounting structure and a satellite antenna. The mounting structure may include a plurality of tabs extending upward, and located at a first elevation. The mounting structure may also define a first plurality of apertures located at a second elevation, where the first elevation is higher than the second elevation. The satellite antenna may define a second plurality of apertures configured to accept the plurality of tabs. The satellite antenna may be supported by the mounting structure upon the plurality of tabs being accepted by the second plurality of apertures. The satellite antenna may also define a third plurality of apertures which may be aligned with the first plurality of apertures upon the plurality of tabs being accepted by the second plurality of apertures.
