Abstract
In one example, a base cover for a lower housing of a convertible device is described, which may include a metal body and an antenna window attached to the metal body. The antenna window may include a non-metallic structure and a metallic structure disposed within the non-metallic structure such that the metallic structure corresponds to an antenna slot defined in an upper housing of the convertible device.
Claims14
A base cover for a lower housing of a convertible device, comprising:
- a metal body;
- and
- an antenna window attached to the metal body, wherein the antenna window comprises:
- a non-metallic structure;
- and
- a metallic structure disposed within the non-metallic structure such that the metallic structure corresponds to an antenna slot defined in an upper housing of the convertible device, wherein the metallic structure is a protrusion that protrudes from the metal body, and wherein the non-metallic structure is attached to the protrusion to form the antenna window.

An electronic device comprising:
- a lower housing;
- and
- an upper housing pivotally coupled to the lower housing for movement between a tablet mode and a laptop mode, wherein, in the tablet mode, the lower housing is substantially parallel and adjacent to the upper housing, wherein the lower housing comprises:
- a base cover;
- and
- an antenna window disposed in the base cover, wherein the antenna window comprises:
- a non-metallic structure;
- and
- a metallic structure disposed in the non-metallic structure such that the metallic structure is formed substantially below an antenna slot defined in the upper housing when the electronic device is operating in the tablet mode, wherein the metallic structure is a protrusion that protrudes from the metal body, and wherein the non-metallic structure is attached to the protrusion to form the antenna window.
6 more elements
A convertible device comprising:
- an upper housing comprising:
- a screen carried on a first side;
- a screen cover carried on a second side having an antenna slot;
- and
- an antenna corresponding to the antenna slot;
- and
- a lower housing to couple with the upper housing, wherein the lower housing comprises:
- a base cover defining an antenna window, and wherein the antenna window comprises a non-metallic structure and a metallic structure corresponding to the antenna slot, wherein the metallic structure is formed substantially below and with an offset from the antenna slot when the convertible device is in closed position or when the upper housing is opened through an angle of substantially 360° with the upper housing remaining parallel to the lower housing.
