Abstract: An electronic connector includes a rigid central region and at least one branch that extends away from the rigid central region. A flexible part is disposed at one end of the at least one branch and adjacent to the rigid central region. A conductor terminal is located at an opposing end of the at least one branch. A rigid part is disposed between the flexible part and the conductor terminal. At least one flexible element is disposed adjacent to one surface of the flexible part. The flexible part of the at least one branch and the at least one flexible element combine to permit the at least one branch to be both (i) sufficiently flexible to permit the at least one branch to be bent, and (ii) sufficiently rigid to permit the at least one branch to subsequently return to its original shape.

Abstract: An adjustable monitor stand that can hold a monitor includes a carrier, a base, and a low friction insert. First and second channel insertion portions extend from a curved lower surface of the low friction insert. Each has outer walls to be received by and fixedly engage with first and second base channels formed in a curved upper surface of the base, respectively, to prevent movement of the low friction insert with respect to the base. The first and second channel insertion portions each have inner walls to receive first and second protrusions extending from a curved lower surface of the carrier, respectively, and permit the carrier to be moved about a non-vertical axis as the first and second protrusions slide along the inner walls. The first and second protrusions of the carrier also form a frictional engagement with the inner walls of the first and second channel insertion portions.
