20180212640 · 2018-07-26 ·

A floatable cell phone case floats, with a cell phone or other electronic device housed therein, on a liquid through use of enclosed polygonal units that define a polygonal air volume. The polygonal units form a seal with the cell phone to create buoyancy. The cell phone case comprises case body having a rear wall and enclosed sidewalls having a flange. The rear wall and sidewalls define a device placement zone. The device placement zone is sized to house the cell phone. The flange retains the cell phone within the device placement zone. The phone case further comprises enclosed polygonal units spanning upwardly from an inner surface of the rear wall into the device placement zone. Each of the polygonal units define a polygonal air volume.

UNDERWATER COMMUNICATION INTERFACE APPARATUS

An underwater communication interface apparatus includes a first waterproof enclosure having an interior configured to house an electronic device with a touchscreen in such a way that the touchscreen of the electronic device is adjacent to a first side of the first waterproof enclosure. The first side of the first waterproof enclosure has a non-rigid transparent membrane and the non-rigid transparent membrane is configured to allow a user to interact with the touchscreen of the electronic device. The apparatus also includes a second waterproof enclosure that houses a control module. The control module is configured to be operatively coupled to the electronic device and an external auxiliary device. The apparatus further includes a pressure balancing module coupled to the first waterproof enclosure. The pressure balancing module is configured to balance pressure within the first waterproof enclosure relative to external ambient conditions. The first and second waterproof enclosures are physically coupled together. An internal pressure of the first waterproof enclosure enables the non-rigid transparent membrane of the first waterproof enclosure to remain within a predetermined distance to the touchscreen of the electronic device. The predetermined distance is one that allows the touchscreen of the electronic device to receive inputs from the user via the non-rigid transparent membrane.
