Publication number: 20240001829Abstract: A storage system for an electronic device includes a base coupled to a structural portion and a support portion coupled to the base. A platform is coupled to the support portion, is configured to hold the electronic device, and is movable relative to the support portion between a stored configuration and a deployed configuration. The platform can be selectively adjusted to maintain a non-zero angular orientation relative to the support portion when in the deployed configuration, and the platform forms an outer surface of the support portion when in the stored configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Trent Storm, Derrick T. Jue, Luke T. Ottaway, Jesse T. Buehler, Qi Zhang

Patent number: 11699558Abstract: An illuminated glass keycap having a glyph diffuser layer that may diffuse light through a glyph window opened in a background layer. The background layer may be opaque and the glyph window may be transparent. The keycap is adhered to a scissor mechanism positioned above electrical switch circuitry. Included within, below, or adjacent to the scissor mechanism may be one or more light sources positioned to emit light through the keycap, around the perimeter of the keycap, and/or through the background layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Craig C. Leong, Derrick T. Jue, Hilbert T. Kwan, Keith J. Hendren
