Methods and apparatus for a low-profile coupler
A coupler for removable coupling an object to a support. The coupler includes a cover, a ring, and a base. The cover couples to the support. The ring includes a first arm, a second arm, a third arm, a fourth arm, a first stop, and a second stop. Each arm of the ring is formed of a resilient material. The ring is positioned in a cavity of the cover. The base couples to the accessory. The base cooperates with the cover and the ring to couple to the cover and to rotate from a decoupled position to an intermediate position and further to a clocked position.
FLAME AND HEAT RESISTANT, RELEASABLY CONNECTABLE WRAP FOR A PORTABLE RADIO, REMOTE SPEAKER MICROPHONE, AND THE CORD THEREBETWEEN
Flaps and wraps that provide heat and flame resistant properties to a remote speaker microphone (RSM) and its cord and firefighter turnout coats having the same are disclosed. The flaps have an elongate body of flame and heat resistant fabric having a head, a tail, opposing first and second major surfaces, an elongate edge encompassing the head and the tail that is sewn to the firefighter turnout coat to form a flap seam to a first of the two front sections proximate the neck section, and a first fastener positioned on the second major surface of the head and the tail at an edge opposite the flap seam. A second fastener, which is mateable to the first fastener, is fixedly attached to the firefighter turnout coat at a position under the flap when the flap is in an attached 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.
ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY FOR A DEVICE
The present disclosure provides an attachment assembly for a device. The attachment assembly comprises a first attachment member and a second attachment member. The first attachment member is slidable along a first axis of the device at a first location. The second attachment member is at a second location. The first attachment member and the second attachment member are configured to be coupled to a strap. A tension in the strap is configurable based on a sliding movement of the first attachment member.
Devices and accessories employing a living hinge
A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING BELT ATTACHMENT AND SYSTEM
The present invention is directed to a device, system and method of attaching an electronic device to a belt, and to a belt having an attached electronic device, that will sit away from the user's body when in use and will be held close to the user's body when not in use. The various embodiments of the present invention also enable the easy transition of the electronic device from the in-use position to the stored position and vice versa. One embodiment of the present invention utilizes two belt clips and a gooseneck electronic device holder to achieve these goals.
Mobile Device Finger Support Apparatus
A finger support apparatus for supporting a pinky finger during use of a smart phone includes a mounting portion configured to plug into a port of a smart phone case, the port being positioned along a bottom edge of the case. The finger support apparatus includes a body portion rotatably coupled to the mounting portion and rotatably movable to a desired orientation, i.e., to be optimally positioned depending on a user's preference in how the smart phone is held. The body portion may include an ergonomic configuration to enhance grip of a user's finger and has a tactile surface. A low-capacity battery may be positioned in the body portion for transferring electrical power to the smart phone when plugged into the smart phone port. A charging cap situated atop the mounting portion includes electrical storage media for storing electrical current from an electric source for transfer to the auxiliary battery.
Universal armband assembly with resilient device-retainer
A universal armband assembly retains a cuboidal, electronic device in adjacency to a user's arm, and includes an armband and a resilient device-retainer formation. The armband includes a band-to-retainer interface portion and a strap portion. The band-to-retainer interface portion includes a strap-letting aperture and an outer interface portion end. The strap portion extends from the band-to-retainer interface portion in a direction opposite the outer interface portion end. The device-retainer formation is formed from a resilient unibody material construction, is attached to the band-to-retainer interface portion, and is configured to define a relaxed interior volume when in a relaxed state. The device-retainer formation is actuable to define an actuated interior volume, which interior volume receives the electronic device. Restorative forces of the resilient unibody material retain the electronic device within the actuated interior volume. Together the armband and device-retainer formation retain the electronic device in adjacency to the user's arm.
CASE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES
An improved case for electronic devices including a detachable and rotatable hand strap. The improved case is structured and arranged to secure electronic devices therein and to the hand of a user. The detachable and rotatable hand strap offers a full 360° of rotation and thus a more comfortable and reliable grasp to thereby reduce the risk of dropping and damaging the electronic devices.
HOLDING DEVICE FOR PORTABLE EQUIPMENT ITEMS
Holding device (100) for portable equipment, in particular cameras, comprising a housing (1) in which a roller element (2) and a return element (7) are arranged, wherein the roller element (2) is arranged on the housing (1) and is rotatably mounted in relation to the housing (1), a tie (9) for fastening equipment items, wherein the tie (9) is completely rolled up on the roller element (2) in an initial state and only one end of the tie (9) protrudes from the housing (1), wherein the return element (7) is arranged between the housing (1) and the roller element (2) in such a way that the return element (7) exerts a tensile force on the roller element (2) so that the tie (9) can be rolled up on the roller element (2), wherein the tie (9) can be unrolled and can be pulled out of the housing (1) in relation thereto when a tensile force facing away from the housing (1) is exerted on the tie (9), a force which is greater than the force exerted by the return element (7) on the roller element (2), up to an end position in which the tie (9) is completely unrolled from the roller element (2), and wherein the tie (9) can be rolled up to the initial state and can be pulled out of the housing (1) in relation thereto when a tensile force facing away from the housing (1) is exerted on the tie (9), a force which is smaller than the force exerted by the return element (7) on the roller element (2),
where
the holding device (100) comprises a bistable locking mechanism (20) with two switching positions, namely a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein in the locked position the rotation of the roller element (2) in relation to the housing (1) is blocked and the tie (9) is rolled off by at least 80%, in particular by 80 to 99%, preferably by 95 to 99%, wherein in the unlocked position the roller element (2) is rotatable in relation to the housing (1) and wherein the locking mechanism (20) can be changed between the locked position and the unlocked position by placing the tie (9) in the end position.
