ABSTRACT:
A housing includes a structural frame. The frame has several corner posts. At least two of the corner posts have a recess therein. A resilient sheet is dimensioned to fit between the two corner posts. The resilient sheet includes a first edge and a second edge. Each edge includes a feature shaped so that it engages the recess in the corner post. The engagement of the feature provides a fastenerless attachment of the resilient sheet to the frame. In addition, the resilient sheet includes a curved surface between the first edge and the second edge. When the resilient sheet is positioned between the two posts the curved surface is compressed and acts like a spring which provides another force to hold the resilient sheet in place between the two corner posts.
During manufacture, the resilient sheet can be inserted between the corner posts easily and quickly. The resilient sheet is bent slightly and pushed into place so that the features on the resilient sheet fit the recesses in the frame. The compression force from the curve in the resilient sheet provides a holding force so that the features are not providing the only holding force for the resilient sheet.
