  • Patent number: 9354724
    Abstract: A stylus used in a computing device includes an elongated shaft, a tip, and a fixing device attached to the elongated shaft. The fixing device is designed to interact with a protrusion on the interior surface of a storage hole of a computing device where the stylus is to be stored. The fixing device can be formed of a deformable elastic material such as a memory foam. As the stylus is inserted into the storage hole of the computing device, the material of the fixing device deforms as it passes the fixing protrusion on the interior surface of the storage hole. Once the fixing device has been inserted past the protrusion, the elastic material of the fixing device resumes its original shape so that it will interfere with the protrusion to prevent the stylus from being accidentally removed from the storage hole.
