  • Patent number: 9793745
    Abstract: An inductive charging station that induces an electric current in an electronic device thereby charging the electronic device. The inductive charging station generally includes a base, a vertical portion, and a top member. The base includes a charging module in electrical communication with a transmitter part disposed in the top member such that when the electronic device's receiver is in communication with the transmitter part, the receiver is in electrical communication with the system's charging module, thereby charging the electronic device. The top member defines a first member in pivotal communication within a bore disposed in a second member. In application, the second member is configured to pivot through a 360-degree angle such that the electronic device can be rotatably positioned with the second member.

  • Patent number: 9673557
    Abstract: A cable management structure for application with an electronic apparatus, such as an Apple Watch device. The cable management structure having a housing and a main body portion. The main body portion includes an interior for receiving a prior art power adapter of a magnetic charging cable, the charging cable in communication with openings on a front plate of the main body portion. The openings sized to receive the plug arrangement to couple the main body portion having the power adapter with a mains power supply. The main body portion further defines a horizontal neck that extends perpendicular to the front plate, and a recess adjacent the neck and sized for receiving the connector of the charging cable. The neck for manually winding the cable of the charging cable.

  • Patent number: 9448588
    Abstract: A holder for an electronic device includes a head configured to removably receive and securely hold the electronic device. The head includes a first portion and a second portion that is slidably movable with respect to the first portion for adjustment to a size of the electronic device, wherein the first and second portions are biased toward each under a force of a spring. A damper is operatively positioned between the first portion and the second portion so as to dampen the movement of the second portion with respect to the first portion under the bias of the spring.
