Abstract: Input elements, handles, enclosures and alignment of such elements and handles within an electronic device. The elements, such as buttons or input devices, and handles discussed herein may be configured, assembled and/or installed within and/or on an electronic device to ensure proper alignment and positioning within the housing of the electronic device. By properly aligning and positioning the elements and handles within or on the housing of the electronic device, the elements and handles may provide accurate input to the electronic device and may be visually appealing to a user. Additionally, a two-piece enclosure including a hook and cutout portion may secure and/or protect the internal components of the electronic device, while also providing a visually “seamless” connection between the two-pieces for forming the enclosure of the electronic device.

Abstract translation: 电子设备内的输入元件，手柄，外壳和这些元件和把手的对齐。 可以在电子设备内部和/或电子设备上配置，组装和/或安装诸如按钮或输入设备的元件，以及在此处讨论的手柄，以确保在电子设备的壳体内的适当对准和定位。 通过在电子设备的壳体内或壳体上正确对准和定位元件和手柄，元件和手柄可以向电子设备提供准确的输入，并且可以视觉上吸引用户。 此外，包括钩和切口部分的两件式外壳可以固定和/或保护电子设备的内部部件，同时还提供用于形成电子设备的外壳的两件之间的视觉上“无缝”连接。
