  • Patent number: 10804719
    Abstract: An accessory device for an electronic device is disclosed. The accessory device may include a unitary body having a first region, a second region, and a hinge positioned between the first region and the second region. When a force is applied to the first region, the first region may bend or pivot at the hinge. When bent, the first region allows the electronic device to slide into or out of the accessory device. Further, the electronic device may slide into or out of the accessory device in a straight or linear manner. Also, the accessory device may further include a power supply designed to supply electrical current to a battery of the electronic device. The accessory device may further include a connector that electrically connects the power supply with the electronic device. The sliding motion of the electronic device prevents the connector from damage by bending.

  • Publication number: 20150122854
    Abstract: An apparatus and system for housing a device include a housing that is configured such that a device may be fitted within the housing and thereby be protected, such as from shocks and/or liquid. The housing may include top and bottom members that may be removably coupled together so as to form the housing. Each top and bottom member optionally includes front and back surfaces surrounded by a perimeter. The perimeter is defined by proximal and distal ends as well as opposing sides. The top and bottom members may include respective clasping mechanisms that extend along the perimeter of the top and bottom members. The clasping mechanisms are configured for coupling the top and bottom members with one another thereby sealing the housing, for instance, in a shock-proof and/or water tight seal.

  • Publication number: 20150090749
    Abstract: A drop-prevention pouch for a cordless power tool has a battery pack that defines a battery pack perimeter. The drop-prevention pouch includes a pouch floor and a pouch sidewall extending transversely from the pouch floor and having a sidewall rim portion defining a pouch opening. The pouch floor and the pouch sidewall define a chamber sized to receive the battery pack when the battery back is attached to the cordless power tool. A flexible conduit extends along the sidewall rim portion. A drawstring extends through the flexible conduit and is capable of restricting the pouch opening to be smaller than the battery pack perimeter, thereby preventing the drop-prevention pouch from being removed from the battery pack when the battery pack is attached to the cordless power tool.

  • Publication number: 20150076189
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus for housing electronic devices. It introduces a modular form factor for utilizing tablet computers as components within fixed computer terminals. The one-piece housing is surface mounted, and is flared toward one end, assisting sound emanation as an acoustic horn, with its viewing face angled. The tablet is affixed within, with its screen viewable through the housing's wide window aperture, and its manual controls remain accessible through the open bottom. The housing can completely surround a standard power outlet above counter tops, for protection and to minimize and conceal associated cabling. Components are largely fastened and assembled into the device using industrial mounting tape. The housing's voluminous interior can accommodate additional modular components such as a power distribution hub, speakers and other electronic devices.
