  • Patent number: 12068625
    Abstract: A charging and storage system provides a support on which the electronic device, such as a tablet is stored and charged within a housing. The support angles downward such that the support is not level. The tablet is stored on the support not level to allow for any liquids to drain away from the tablet. The charger and support are secured within a removable charging unit that secures to the housing. Removal of the charging unit removes the support, the charger, and a lock that secures the tablet within the charging unit.

  • Patent number: 11591159
    Abstract: A charging and storage system provides a conveyor system within a housing that conveys electronic devices through the housing to charging devices located withing the housing. Charging contacts on an adjustment arm adjust between a charging position that charges the electronic devices and a transport position that allows movement of the electronic devices through the housing without contacting the charging contacts. A charging device located at each charging location charges the device while the device is stored within the housing. The conveyor system moves the electronic devices to these fixed charging locations to charge the devices while storing the devices. The conveyor system releases the electronic devices to an exit ramp that guides the electronic devices to a release aperture for removal from the housing.

  • Patent number: 10838464
    Abstract: The housing provides layers of rigid material and cushioning around the components of a mobile electronic device, such as a tablet. The rigid material includes a positioning frame that positions the display, the battery, and the circuit board within the housing. Cushioning positioned exterior of the frame provides additional cushion around the components of the mobile electronic device. The housing partially encloses the components of the mobile electronic device and provides a viewing window for viewing the display. A support rib abuts a rear wall of the housing to increase the rigidity of the housing. Antimicrobial agents and/or fire-retardant agents added to the housing provide additional features to the housing.
