Remote control with one-piece casing and chassis

A remote control device, comprising:

• (a) a single-piece casing having formed therein a first opening disposed at one end, a second opening disposed at another end, and an inner cavity disposed between the first opening and the second opening;
• (b) a chassis having a body configured to be inserted into the inner cavity though the first opening and having an end part configured to be disposed outside of the casing, and edge of the end part being configured to abut against the one end of the casing;
• and
• (c) an end insert having a body configured to be inserted into the inner cavity though the second opening and having an end part configured to be disposed at the another end of the casing;
• (d) wherein
• (1) the body of the chassis includes at least one threaded opening disposed at an end opposite to the end part of the chassis,
• (2) the end part of the end insert includes at least one opening aligned with the at least one threaded opening of the chassis, whereby
• (3) upon the body of the chassis and the end insert being inserted into the inner cavity of the casing, a threaded screw inserted into the at least one opening of the end insert and turned into the at least one threaded opening of the chassis secures both the chassis and the end insert against the casing.

A remote control device, comprising:

• (a) a single-piece casing having formed therein a first opening disposed at one end, a second opening disposed at another end, an inner cavity disposed between the first opening and the second opening, a front opening disposed in a front surface of the casing, and a plurality of key openings disposed in the front surface;
• (b) a keypad configured to be disposed within the inner cavity, and having a plurality of keys arranged on a surface of the keypad, the plurality of keys being configured to extend through the plurality of key openings;
• (c) a chassis having a body configured to be inserted into the inner cavity though the first opening and disposed in the inner cavity below the keypad, the chassis having an end part configured to be disposed outside of the casing, an edge of the end part being configured to abut against the one end of the casing, wherein
• (1) the body of the chassis includes a pair of legs extending below from the body of the chassis, the pair of legs being configured to support the body of the chassis within the inner cavity and providing a spacing between at least a portion of the body of the chassis and a bottom surface of the inner cavity of the casing,
• (2) each leg of the pair of legs includes a surface that conforms to a shape of, and contacts with, at least a portion of a sidewall of the inner cavity of the casing, and
• (3) the body of the chassis includes at least one threaded opening disposed at an end opposite to the end part of the chassis,
• (d) an end insert having a body configured to be inserted into the inner cavity though the second opening and disposed in the inner cavity in the spacing below the body of the chassis, the end insert having an end part configured to be located at the another end of the casing, wherein
• (1) the end part of the end insert includes at least one opening aligned with the at least one threaded opening of the chassis,
• (2) whereby upon the body of the chassis and the end insert being inserted into the inner cavity of the casing, a threaded screw inserted into the at least one opening of the end insert and turned into the at least one threaded opening of the chassis secures both the chassis and the end insert against the casing;
• and
• (e) a display configured to be inserted into the front opening of the casing, wherein the remote control device further includes
• (1) at least one electrical contact configured to electrically connect circuitry disposed within the body of the chassis to the display, and
• (2) at least one mounting clamp disposed on a front surface of the body of the chassis and configured to secure the display to the chassis upon insertion of the display into the front opening of the casing.
