COMPLIANT MAGNETIC LOCKING MECHANISM
The presently disclosed compliant magnetic locking mechanisms provide mechanism(s) and method(s) for latching a cover (e.g., a rear cover) to a device body that is quick assembling, low cost, easily recyclable, secure, and/or leaves no exposed fasteners. A bi-stable (or mono-stable) compliant mechanism inside the cover actuates a set of latches in and out. This action serves to lock and unlock the cover or other removable portion of the computing device. The compliant magnetic locking mechanisms may contain an array of magnets, which can be used in conjunction with a magnetic key to actuate the compliant mechanism from the exterior.
