Abstract
A bezel assembly includes a bezel body having an opening formed thereon for receiving at least a part of a connecting piece. At least one opening shield is movably disposed on the bezel body and pressing against the connecting piece via an elastic element such that the connecting piece remains contact with the bezel assembly in the opening. The bezel assembly of the present disclosure can be adapted to connecting pieces of various types and standards, such as connectors or ports, so as to improve universality of the bezel assembly and expand the application range.
Claims16
A bezel assembly, comprising:
- a bezel body defining an opening that is configured to receive at least a part of a connecting piece;
- and
- a pair of first opening shields that;
- are movably coupled to the bezel body;
- resiliently engage the connecting piece such that the connecting piece remains in contact with the bezel assembly in the opening;
- are respectively disposed at two edges of the opening;
- are spaced apart along a first direction;
- and
- are connected with each other via a first elastic element.
An electrical connection apparatus, comprising:
- a connecting piece;
- and
- a bezel assembly including:
- a bezel body defining an opening;
- a pair of first opening shields that;
- are movably coupled to the bezel body,
- resiliently engage the connecting piece such that the connecting piece remains in contact with the bezel assembly in the opening;
- are respectively disposed at two edges of the opening;
- are spaced apart along a first direction;
- and
- are connected with each other via a first elastic element.
A method for providing a connecting piece in a bezel assembly, comprising:
- positioning, in an opening defined by a bezel body included in the bezel assembly, the connecting piece;
- moving a pair of first opening shields that are included in the bezel assembly and movably coupled to the bezel body relative to the bezel body, wherein the pair of first opening shields are;
- respectively disposed at two edges of the opening;
- spaced apart along a first direction;
- and
- connected with each other via a first elastic element;
- and wherein the moving the pair of first opening shields relative to the bezel assembly includes;
- moving the pair of first opening shields along the first direction and within a plane that is parallel with the bezel body;
- and
- resiliently engaging, in response to moving the pair of first opening shields relative to the bezel body, the connecting piece with the pair of first opening shields such that the connecting piece remains in contact with the pair of first opening shields in the opening.
