Abstract: A charging case assembly for a vaporizer device includes a lower housing pivotably coupled to an upper housing. The lower housing can include a rechargeable power supply and a coupling mechanism configured to receive and position the vaporizer device within the lower housing. The coupling mechanism can include a cradle portion positioned along the lower housing and further include an elongated base that is recessed along an inner surface of the lower housing. The cradle portion can be configured to receive the vaporizer device such that a first elongated side of the vaporizer device is positioned against the base of the cradle portion. The coupling mechanism can further include a pair of case contacts positioned adjacent a first end of the base.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include connection mechanisms for a peripheral computing device to connect with a mobile computing device. The peripheral computing device may include a device interface component that defines part of the connection mechanisms, and an electrical connection protrusion extending from the device interface component and configured to insert in a corresponding electrical receptacle of a computing device. The device interface component may also include a magnetically connectable docking member configured to magnetically attract or to be magnetically attracted to a corresponding docking component on the computing device. The device interface component may further include a support rail configured to support the electrical connection protrusion and the magnetically connectable docking member. The support rail may comprise a shoulder configured to define a pivot point to guide connecting the peripheral computing device with the computing device.

Abstract: A docking mechanism is described. The docking mechanism may include a locking protrusion and a locking receptacle configured to receive the locking protrusion and having an inclined surface. The docking mechanism may include a wedging member abutting the inclined surface. The docking mechanism may include a locking detent. The locking detent may have a spring configured to bias the locking detent towards the locking protrusion. Computing devices that include docking mechanisms are also described. Methods of use of the docking mechanisms are also described.
