Integrated frame assembly for mobile devices

Abstract:

An integrated frame assembly can include an inner mounting frame having first, second, third sidewall, and fourth sidewalls, a first corner proximate the first and fourth sidewalls, a second corner proximate the first and second sidewalls, a third corner proximate the second and third sidewalls, and a fourth corner proximate the third and fourth sidewalls. Corner components can be connected to the inner mounting frame and include a first corner component proximate the first corner, a second corner component proximate the second corner, a third corner component proximate the third corner, and a fourth corner component proximate the fourth corner. An outer frame can surround the first, third sidewall, and fourth sidewalls. Housing(s) can be proximate to the first, second, third, or fourth sidewall to enhance structural rigidity of the integrated frame assembly. The housing(s) can include antenna(s) and speaker(s).
