SUPPORT BOARD STRUCTURE
A support board structure includes a base plate, a folding plate, and an elastic binding belt. The base plate has a top edge, a bottom edge, and a backside therebetween. The folding plate includes an abutting portion pivotally connected to the bottom edge, a connecting portion and a supporting portion pivotally connected between the abutting portion and the connecting portion. The supporting portion is formed with a strip-shaped hole. An end of the elastic binding belt is fixed to the base plate, and another end thereof is fixed to the base plate and passing the connecting portion. The folding plate flatly abuts against the backside when collapsed, and the connecting portion is reversely folded to flatly abut against the backside to form a three-dimensional structure and define an elevation angle between the abutting portion and the base plate when expanded.
User-Serviceable Device
The description relates to devices, such as user-serviceable devices. One example can include a chassis defining a cavity accessible through a rear side and a rear cover positioned against the chassis over the rear side. The device can be configured to allow movement between the rear cover and the chassis substantially parallel to the rear side to lock the rear cover against the chassis and to allow movement in an opposite direction to unlock the rear cover and further configured to impart a biasing force on the rear cover substantially perpendicular to the rear side. The device can also include a release that can be engaged through the chassis to cause the movement of the rear cover in the opposite direction to unlock the rear cover and allow the biasing force to move the rear cover substantially perpendicularly to the rear side away from the chassis.
Protective Card Case and Grading System
Improved protective cases for protecting collectibles may be provided with integral stands. These and/or other cases may accept one of a plurality of inserts with card trays when receiving collectible cards to address the different thicknesses of collectible cards in the marketplace.
Mobile device grip and stand
An extendable grip for a mobile device includes a base configured to couple with a mobile device or a case of the mobile device. The plurality of elastic elements are coupled with the base at a first end. The plurality of elastic elements are coupled with a top at a second end. The plurality of elastic elements are configured to provide an expansion force that biases the top away from the base towards a neutral position when in the collapsed position. The base and the top are configured to produce a magnetic force that biases the top and the base towards one another. The extendable grip has the neutral position and a collapsed position. A distance between the top and the base is greater in the neutral position than in the collapsed position. The magnetic force is stronger than the expansion force in the retracted position.
Portable mobile device holder
A portable mobile device holder that includes a plurality of concentrically-connected frames. The intermediate protective frame, is selectively moveable by a user between a stowed position and a deployed position in which the intermediate protective frame is pivoted outwardly relative to the outer protective frame to orient the mobile device at an approximately 90 degree position relative to the outer protective frame and facilitate hands-free use of the mobile device by a user. The mobile device is mounted on the inner protective frame defining, which is selectively moveable by the user between a stowed position and a deployed position in which the inner protective frame is selectively rotated by the user between approximately 0 to 360 degrees about its longitudinal axis relative to the intermediate protective frame.
HEADSET CASE WITH SMARTPHONE HOLDER
A headset case includes a base providing a cavity for stowing a headset, the base including a bottom region configured to rest on a surface; a lid; and a hinge pivotably connecting the lid to the base. When the headset case is in a closed configuration, the lid covers the cavity. When the headset case is in an open configuration, a first section of the lid at least partially rests on the surface, and a second section of the lid, extending from the first section of the lid, is configured to prop up a smartphone by mechanically supporting the smartphone leaning against the second section of the lid while resting on the base.
Methods and Apparatus for a Wearable Command Center
Embodiments of the disclosed is a system comprising a wearable command center. One such embodiment comprises a case clip top portion; a chest mount bottom portion; a hinge member assembly; a connector cartridge assembly; a case; and at least one structural guide rail.
COMPACTING GRIP FOR HANDHELD DEVICES
An apparatus for gripping a handheld device is provided. The apparatus includes a base for affixing the apparatus to a first surface of the handheld device; at least one extension extending from the base at a first end of the extension; and a grip extending from the at least one extension at a second end of the extension, wherein the grip is oriented substantially parallel to the first surface of the handheld device, wherein the apparatus is adapted to receive a portion of at least one finger inserted between the grip and the handheld device, wherein the apparatus is adapted to receive a portion of each of two fingers inserted between the grip and the handheld device at opposite sides of the at least one extension, and wherein the grip is movable into at least one angled position where one end of the grip is pointed towards the base while an opposite end of the grip is pointed away from the base.
CONVERTIBLE CASE FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
In some aspects, a convertible case (10) for a portable electronic device includes a bottom surface (18) having a first panel. A top surface (14) is moveably coupled to the bottom surface (18). The top surface (14) has a second panel. The bottom surface (18) and the top surface (14) at least partially define a cavity (34) having an opening. The bottom surface (18) and top surface (14) are moveable with respect to one another between a storage configuration and a working configuration. In the storage configuration the opening has a first size, and the cavity (34) and the opening are sized to receive a portable electronic device. In the working configuration the opening has a second size larger than the first size, and the bottom and top surface (18,14) are positioned to support the portable electronic device.
ACCESSORIES FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Accessory devices for portable electronic devices are described. An exemplary accessory device can include a first segment coupled to a second segment via a first hinge assembly. The accessory can include a third segment coupled to the second segment via a second hinge assembly such that the second segment is positioned between the first and third segments. The accessory device can be arranged between a closed configuration and a configuration of a stand that supports the portable electronic device at a viewing angle. At the support configuration, the second segment can be at an acute angle relative to the first segment to shift the center of gravity of the system towards the middle. The third segment can be suspended above the first segment and be inclined outwards. The hinge assemblies of the system can be sufficiently stiff to withstand the weight of the electronic device.
