  • Patent number: 9930943
    Abstract: A device capable of retaining a portable electronic component includes a frame having a rear surface with a circular depressed region. A handle coupled to a handle retainer is movable between a retracted position and a plurality of extended positions. The device includes a circular plate residing within the depressed region of the frame, the circular plate having an opening and a recessed handle receiving well having a depth capable of housing at least a portion of the handle in its retracted position. A rotatable handle retainer is seated within the opening of the circular plate to be retained between the circular plate and the rear surface of the frame in a plurality of rotational positions. A locking ring engages with the frame in order to retain the circular plate within the depressed region of the frame in manner that permits the circular plate to rotate.

  • Patent number: 7506416
    Abstract: A closure assembly includes a slider for opening and/or closing an elongate closure mechanism including a pair of opposing closure members. The slider includes a first separator finger and a second separator finger, each of which is articulably connected to a hinge member. The first and second separator fingers extend between the closure members and may be articulated between a closing position, in which the separator fingers are adjacent each other, and an opening position, in which the separator fingers are laterally spaced from each other. In the opening position, the separator fingers urge the members apart. Closing bars and retention members may also be included to facilitate re-closing the closure members and retaining the slider in an operative position thereon.
