  • Patent number: 8564950
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus for covering at least part of a mobile computing device having a touch screen display and a switch that is actuated by a motion that is at least in part lateral to a surface of a housing that houses the mobile computing device. The apparatus includes an encasement that enables operation of the touch screen display and covers at least part of the mobile computing device that includes the switch, the encasement having an outer surface and an inner surface. The apparatus further includes a switch mechanism including a switch actuator protruding from the outer surface of the encasement and covered by a flexible seal attached to the encasement. The switch mechanism includes a switch interface provided proximate the inner surface of the encasement to contact the switch, and is coupled with the switch actuator such that a movement of the switch actuator controls a movement of the switch interface to actuate the switch.

  • Patent number: 8548541
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus and/or system for covering at least part of a mobile computing device having a touch screen display and a proximity sensor, the proximity sensor having an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The apparatus includes an encasement that covers at least part of the mobile computing device and enables operation of the touch screen display, an optically transmissive member coupled with the encasement and positioned to overlay the proximity sensor; and a gasket having at least one transecting element to control an angle of light transmission through the optically transmissive member and to or from the proximity sensor, and to inhibit light from the infrared transmitter from being received by the infrared receiver prior to transmission through the optically transmissive member.

  • Patent number: 8531824
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus and/or system for housing a device. The apparatus includes 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.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus and/or system for housing a device. The apparatus includes a housing 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 includes a perimeter portion. 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 and may be configured for engaging a third clasping mechanism, such as a locking comb or wedge feature. The clasping mechanisms are configured for coupling the top and bottom members with one another thereby sealing the housing, for instance, in a shockproof and/or water tight seal.
