John Ashmore Lumbard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10079923
    Abstract: A mobile communication device which comprises a first member with first surface having a first curvature and a second surface having a second curvature; a second member having first surface with a third curvature and a second surface with a fourth curvature. A hinge pivotally connects the first and second members with one another such that they are movable between opened and closed configurations. The first and the second curvatures of the first member combine with one another and form a combined average curvature for the first member and the third and the fourth curvatures of the second member combine combine with one another and form a combined average curvature for the second member. The combined average curvature for the first member and the combined average curvature for the second member combine with one another to form a combined average curvature for the communication device which is 8 feet or less.

  • Publication number: 20150011262
    Abstract: A folding, handheld wireless communication device that is designed to be carried in a hip pocket like a wallet. The advent of curved touch-sensitive glass will facilitate the design of wireless devices that conform to the user's body. Wallets have much greater interior volume and surface area than today's smartphones, which are plagued by design compromises that result from the need to tightly pack components into small spaces. The advantages of this novel design include ruggedness, better antennae, a full QWERTY keyboard with a complete set of symbols, a large and removable/replaceable battery, a larger and more-functional display, better speakers and sound, and space to accommodate extra features such as earbuds and their wires.
