Abstract
Implementations of a mounting wedge for a flexible material are described. According to various embodiments, a flexible material such as a fabric is laminated to a surface of a device, such as a portable computing device. At least some embodiments utilize a mounting wedge to secure an edge of the flexible material to the device, as well as for a mounting surface for a component of the device.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a chassis;
- a flexible material laminated to at least a portion of a surface of the chassis;
- a mounting wedge attached to the chassis adjacent to the portion of the surface and positioned such that an edge of the mounting wedge pinches an edge of the flexible material against an edge of the portion of the surface of the chassis;
- an adhesive layer at least partially attached to a top surface of the mounting wedge;
- and
- a display surface that is mounted on the adhesive layer, the outer edge of the display surface contacting the inner edge of the flexible material.
