Patent number: 7980892Abstract: In one embodiment, an electronic accessory configured to couple with an electronic device can comprise a housing and a spacer. The housing can comprise a body comprising a width, a length, and a thickness; and a neck extending from the body, the neck comprising a length less than the length of the body. The spacer can comprise an opening configured to be removably coupled around the neck. When the electronic accessory is fully electrically coupled to the electronic device through a docking end of the electronic device, the neck can be located between the body and the electronic device and the electronic device remains uncradled by the electronic accessory. Other embodiments and related methods are also disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Belkin International, Inc.Inventors: Thorben Neu, Vincent Razo, David A.

Publication number: 20100317224Abstract: A connectivity system capable of use with a desk having a surface containing an aperture includes a grommet and a connection hub. The grommet has an interior surface. The connection hub includes a connection port and a perimeter. The surface of the desk defines a first plane that forms a division between a first side of the first plane and a second side of the first plane. A portion of the perimeter of the connection hub is spaced apart from the interior surface of the grommet such that the perimeter and the interior surface define a passageway therebetween through which a cable may be passed from the first side to the second side of the surface of the desk.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2010Publication date: December 16, 2010Applicant: Belkin International, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Mori, Barry Sween, Vincent Razo
