Abstract
In some examples, a device can include a display coupled to a locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism applies a first force in a first direction, an enclosure coupled to the display with the locking mechanism, and a spring mechanism coupled to the enclosure and the locking mechanism to prevent a tension level between the display and the enclosure from exceeding a tension threshold, wherein the spring mechanism applies a second force in a second direction.
Claims15
A device, comprising:
- a locking mechanism that includes a threaded portion;
- a display including a corresponding threaded portion to receive the threaded portion of the locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism applies a first force in a first direction;
- an enclosure coupled to the display with the locking mechanism;
- and
- a spring mechanism coupled to the enclosure and the locking mechanism to prevent a tension level between the display and the enclosure from exceeding a tension threshold, wherein the spring mechanism applies a second force in a second direction.

An attachment device, comprising:
- a spring mechanism that includes a first end coupled to an enclosure and a second end that includes an aperture;
- a locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism includes a threaded portion to pass through the aperture and thread on to a corresponding threaded portion of the display to couple the enclosure to the display;
- and
- a tab coupled to the enclosure to interact with the locking mechanism to prevent the locking mechanism from exceeding a tension threshold between the enclosure and the display.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- an enclosure to receive a display from a plurality of displays with varying thicknesses;
- a spring mechanism that includes a first portion that is covered by the enclosure and a second portion that is exposed by the enclosure, wherein the second portion includes an aperture;
- a locking mechanism that includes a threaded portion to pass through the aperture of the spring mechanism to be threaded on to a corresponding threaded portion of the display to couple the enclosure to the display;
- and
- a washer coupled to the locking mechanism to apply pressure on the spring mechanism and physically interact with a portion of the enclosure such that the spring mechanism applies a tension that corresponds to the thickness of the display when the washer is in physical contact with the enclosure.
