ABSTRACT:
An electronic component, such as a speaker, is supported on the chassis of an electronic device, such as a small radio pager, by a resilient annular member which is latched to the chassis. The annular member has an inner surface for receiving a part of the component, such as the speaker pot, and a plurality of fingers extending from the member and inserted through an opening in the chassis with outwardly extending hook-like ends which engage the opposite side of the chassis. The member and fingers are flexible for mounting on the chassis, and are rendered more rigid when the component is inserted therein so that the fingers hold the member on the chassis. The annular member may include portions which are flexed when the component is placed therein to store energy which tends to move the component out of the member. When used for supporting a speaker, the member tends to move the speaker pot to hold the speaker edge against a grill which may be formed in the housing of the device. The component support is self-aligning and self-centering and facilitates assembly of the component on the chassis.
