Environmental enclosure for housing cellular RF equipment

A display system (100) includes a liquid crystal display (140) which incorporates annunciator areas (142). Each annunciator area (142) has an aperture (146,147,148), independently controlled, to allow the passage of light through the annunciator area (142). Independently controlled illumination (160,210,212,214) is positioned behind each annunciator area (142). The passage of light through each annunciator area (142) is controlled by opening and closing the aperture (146,147,148).

A self-retaining knob assembly (200) includes a housing (150) and a hub (120). The housing (150) has a cavity(157) for receiving a key (135) and a rotation track (160) about the cavity (157). The hub (120) has an integral key (135) and is rotatably mounted within the cavity (157) and within the rotation track (160). While being mounted, the key (135) is guided into the rotation track (160) by a guide member (266) integrally located on the housing (150). The housing (150) has retaining members (261,262) which cooperate with the key (135) to substantially restrict the removal of the key (135) from within the cavity (157) after the key (135) is mounted.

Knob assembly

A display system (100) includes a liquid crystal display (110), a lightpipe (130), and a support structure such as a printed circuit board (160). The lightpipe (130) has integrally formed retaining members (232) to secure the liquid crystal display (110), and integrally formed mounting members (346) to mount and secure the lightpipe (130) to the support structure (160). The liquid crystal display (110) mounts onto the lightpipe (130) and is secured by the retaining members (232). The lightpipe (130) mounts onto the support structure (160) and is secured by the mounting members (346).
