Single piece structural members for security bezels
Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, a data processing system may include various hardware components. To secure the various hardware components, the data processing system may include a security bezel. The security bezel may have a structure that includes structural members that form a partial covering for a two-dimensional surface. A structural member of the structural members may be adapted to span a distance between two points of the surface and resist deformation due to force applied to the structural member. The structural member may also include a portion of a sheet of material that is folded so that two sub-portions of the portion of the sheet of material are in different planes that intersect along a line.
