Patent ID: 8007290

Claim:
A mounting device for mounting a connector to an opening of an electronic device, the mounting device comprising: a lower sheet formed to enclose a lower part of the connector, the lower sheet comprising a first locking mechanism at a first edge of the lower sheet and a second locking mechanism at a second edge of the lower sheet opposite to the first edge, and an upper sheet formed to enclose an upper part of the connector, the upper sheet comprising a third locking mechanism at a first edge of the upper sheet and a fourth locking mechanism at a second edge of the upper sheet opposite to the first edge, wherein the lower sheet and the upper sheet are formed to enclose the connector at least partly when the first locking mechanism engages the third locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism engages the fourth locking mechanism, wherein the first locking mechanism and the third locking mechanism are adapted to engage a first edge of the opening when the first locking mechanism engages the third locking mechanism, wherein the second locking mechanism and the fourth locking mechanism are adapted to engage a second edge of the opening opposite to the first edge of the opening when the second locking mechanism engages the fourth locking mechanism, and wherein at least one of either i) the first locking mechanism and the third locking mechanism compose a cooperating snap-in locking mechanism or ii) the second locking mechanism and the fourth locking mechanism compose a cooperating snap-in locking mechanism.
