Abstract
A device including a housing (12) sealingly enclosing an interior space (14), the housing including (12) a screen (20) having an internal surface (11) subject to air pressure in the interior space (14). Electronic components (22) disposed in the interior space and connected to the screen (20) to operate the device. A power cord (13) having one end terminating within the internal space (14) and another end connectable to an external power source. The power cord (13) has metallic conductors, and at least one air path to vent the interior space (14) to ambient air pressure.
Claims18
A device including:
- a housing sealingly enclosing an interior space, the housing including a screen having an internal surface subject to air pressure in the interior space;
- electronic components connected to the screen to operate the device, the electronic components being disposed in the interior space;
- and
- a power cord having one end terminating within the internal space and another end connectable to an external power source;
- wherein,
- the power cord has metallic conductors, and at least one air path to vent the interior space to ambient air pressure,
- wherein the metallic conductors are each within a polymer coating and the at least one air path is between the metallic conductor and the respective polymer coating.
A method of producing a device with a housing that sealingly encloses an interior space, the housing having a screen with an internal surface exposed to air pressure within the interior space, the method comprising:
- installing electronic components within the interior space;
- connecting the electronic components to the screen for operation of the device;
- and,
- a power cord extending into the interior space for powering the device from an external power source;
- wherein,
- the power cord is formed with metallic conductors, and at least one air path to vent the interior space to ambient air pressure,
- wherein a polymer coating is extruded about each of the metallic conductors such that the at least one air path is formed between the metallic conductor and the respective polymer coating.
