Abstract
An novel enclosure for a device featuring an encoder and an electronic display in which the cutouts, and dimensions of the surfaces and their relative angles provide a device that is compact, durable, and easy to see and operate.
Claims8
An enclosure for a device featuring an encoder and an electronic display comprising:
- a) a top part of said enclosure having a vertical front wall panel, then bending upward from the top of said front wall panel at an optimal viewing angle of between 5 and 25 degrees {relative to the horizontal plane} to a display panel which includes an opening for viewing an electronic display, then bending downward ninety degrees (90°) from said display panel to a third panel, which angle accommodates an electronic display assembly within said enclosure beneath said display panel, then bending outward at an angle which mirrors the angle of said display panel to an encoder panel, then bending vertically down to a back wall panel which is parallel to said front wall panel;
- b) a front wall panel height such that the bottom of said front wall panel reaches the same horizontal plane as the bottom of said back wall panel;
- c) a hole or cutout on said encoder panel for attaching said encoder at sufficient distance from said third panel so said encoder with attached knob will not contact said third panel;
- d) the third panel tall enough so that the tallest point of said enclosure is above the height of the top of said encoder with attached knob;
- e) the encoder panel sufficiently long so that no part of said encoder with attached knob extends beyond said back wall panel;
- f) a corresponding bottom part having a bottom panel which creates the footprint for said enclosure, and two parallel side panels bent 90 degrees upward from said bottom panel and which follow the contours of the profile of said top part allowing the sides of said bottom part to nest inside said top part, thereby completing said enclosure.
