Abstract
Example implementations relate to ferromagnetic covers. For instance, in an example housing can include a bezel including first opening extending through a recess included in the bezel, a first magnet and a second magnet in an internal volume of the housing, and a ferromagnetic cover disposed in the recess and magnetically coupled to the first magnet and the second magnet, where the ferromagnetic cover includes a second opening to obscure a viewing portion of the first opening with the continuous portion when the ferromagnetic cover is positioned adjacent to a first side surface of the recess.
Claims15
A housing comprising:
- a bezel including first opening extending through a recess included in the bezel;
- a first magnet and a second magnet in an internal volume of the housing;
- and
- a ferromagnetic cover disposed in the recess and magnetically coupled to the first magnet and the second magnet, wherein the ferromagnetic cover includes a second opening to expose a viewing portion of the first opening when the ferromagnetic cover is positioned adjacent to a first side surface of the recess.
An electronic device comprising:
- a camera including a lens;
- and
- a housing including:
- a bezel including defining a portion of an internal volume of the housing and including a first opening extending through a recess included in the bezel;
- a first magnet and a second magnet in the internal volume of the housing;
- and
- a ferromagnetic cover including:
- a second opening to expose the lens when the ferromagnetic cover is positioned adjacent to a first side surface of the recess;
- and
- a continuous portion to obscure the lens when the ferromagnetic cover is positioned adjacent to a second side surface of the recess.
A method of manufacture of a housing, the method comprising:
- providing a bezel including a recess and a first opening extending through the bezel;
- providing a magnet;
- and
- disposing a ferromagnetic cover in the recess via magnetic coupling with the magnet to form a housing.
