Abstract
A casing wall for an apparatus, the casing wall comprising including a chassis and casing wall elements integrated into the chassis, the casing wall elements each including a surface exposed to a user, the chassis defining a continuum between the integrated casing wall elements to provide structural rigidity to the casing wall.
Claims19
A casing wall for an apparatus, the casing wall comprising a chassis and casing wall elements at least partially embedded into the chassis to integrate them into the chassis, the casing wall elements each including a surface exposed to a user, wherein the casing wall elements include an integration region to facilitate integration into the chassis, and the integration region having a high porosity relative to the remainder of the casing wall elements, the chassis defining a continuum between the integrated casing wall elements at least partly enveloping the casing wall elements and comprising a resilient material, wherein the chassis retains the integrated casing wall elements flexibly in predetermined positions.
A method comprising at least partially embedding casing wall elements into a chassis to integrate the casing wall elements into the chassis such that a surface of each integrated wall element is exposed to a user to form a casing wall for an apparatus, wherein the casing wall elements include an integration region to facilitate integration into the chassis, and the integration region having a high porosity relative to the remainder of the casing wall elements, the chassis defining a continuum between the integrated casing wall elements at least partly enveloping the casing wall elements and comprising a resilient material, wherein the chassis retains the integrated casing wall elements flexibly in predetermined positions.
