Patent ID: 8830664

Claim:
A personal electronic device, comprising: a grounding member, comprising: a base, a first deflection arm formed of a portion of the base and bent along a first bend line such that a cutout portion of the base is exposed and the first deflection extends from a single side of the cutout portion, and a second deflection arm extending from the base and bent along a second bend line; and a support member comprising a protrusion extending from and integrally formed with an interior surface of a housing of the personal electronic device, the support member being disposed through the cutout portion of the base, wherein a distal end of the first deflection arm is embedded within a lateral surface of the protrusion, thereby preventing the grounding member from being disengaged from the support member, and wherein the second defection arm is in direct contact with an electrical component disposed within the housing, thereby creating an electrically conductive pathway between the electrical component and the housing.
