Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to a device including a frame with a transparent panel. In examples, the device includes a frame defining an opening of a scanner sub-assembly, the frame including a first side and a second side in contact with the first side; and a transparent panel coupled to the frame to cover the opening, a first side of the transparent panel disposed to be substantially planar with a first side of the frame, and a second side of the transparent panel disposed to be substantially planar with the second side of the frame.
Claims16
A device comprising:
- a frame defining an opening of a scanner sub-assembly, the frame including a first side, a second side adjacent to the first side, a third side adjacent to the second side, and a fourth side adjacent to the third side and the first side;
- and
- a transparent panel coupled to the frame to cover the opening, the transparent panel including a first side, a second side adjacent to the first side, a third side adjacent to the second side, and a fourth side adjacent to the third side and the first side,
- wherein the first, second, third, and fourth sides of the transparent panel are respectively affixed to the first, second, third, and fourth sides of the frame, and
- wherein the first side and the second side of the transparent panel are not respectively covered by the first side and the second side of the frame, and the third side and the fourth side of the transparent panel are respectively covered by a portion of the third side and a portion of the fourth side of the frame.
A process for installing a transparent panel in a frame, wherein the frame includes an opening defined by a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, the process comprising:
- depositing adhesive on the first side and the second side of the frame;
- inserting two diagonally opposite corners of the transparent panel in a first gap and a second gap formed in two diagonally opposite corners of the opening of the frame;
- and
- rotating the transparent panel to affix, by the adhesive, a first side of the transparent panel to the first side of the frame and a second side of the transparent panel to the second side of the frame, wherein the first side and the second side of the transparent panel are respectively covered by a portion of the first side and a portion of the second side of the frame, and a third side and a fourth side of the transparent panel are not covered by the third side and the fourth side of the frame, and wherein the third side of the transparent panel is adjacent to the fourth side of the transparent panel.
An imaging device, comprising:
- a frame including an opening defined by a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side;
- a transparent panel including a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side respectively affixed to the first, second, third, and fourth sides of the frame to cover the opening, wherein the first side and the second side of the transparent panel are not respectively covered by the first side and the second side of the frame, and the third side and the fourth side of the transparent panel are respectively covered by a portion of the third side and a portion of the fourth side of the frame, and wherein the third side of the transparent panel is adjacent to the fourth side of the transparent panel;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed between the third side of the frame and the third side of the transparent panel, and between the fourth side of the frame and the fourth side of the transparent panel.
