Patent ID: 7986983

Claim:
A method of a slider form factor device having an upper housing including a top face and a bottom face of the upper housing and defining a first end and a second end and a lower housing including a top face and a bottom face of the lower housing and defining a first end and a second end, the method comprising: sliding the bottom face of the upper housing with respect to the top face of the lower housing until a limit of travel is reached; pivoting the upper housing with respect to the lower housing so that the first end of the lower housing is in contact with the second end of the upper housing and the upper housing is tilted with respect to the lower housing by a predetermined angle so that an edge defined by the top face of the lower housing and the first end of the lower housing and an edge defined by the top face of the upper housing and the second end of the upper housing abut to form substantially contiguous surfaces of the top face of the lower housing and the top face of the upper housing; and tilting the lower housing with respect to the upper housing so that the top face of the upper housing becomes substantially parallel to the top face of the lower housing to initiate an autoclose operation of the slider device, the closing force for the autoclose operation exerted by a spring.
