Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a mechanism for kinetic energy dissipation which allows the bulk of the mass (e.g., a portable terminal) to be decelerated over some working distance such that the deceleration force is below the damage point. The present invention provides a molded 'rubberlike' structure that serves as a carrier or cushion for internal structure (e.g., internal components of a portable terminal). The carrier structure has molded features including an outer frame that serves as a gasket, bumper and support and an inner structure which is molded to conform to the shape of the fragile electronic components that make up, for example, the terminal.
