摘要:
A device includes a housing constructed from a conductive material, a first circuit coupleable to the housing and a second circuit coupleable to the housing. The housing is operable in a first configuration and a second configuration. The first and second configurations are associated with use of the housing for conduction. A control circuit is disposed between the first circuit and the second circuit. The control circuit is configured to operate the housing in the first configuration by conductively coupling the first circuit to the housing and by conductively isolating the second circuit from the housing. The control circuit is also configured to operate the housing in the second configuration by conductively coupling the second circuit to the housing and by conductively isolating the first circuit from the housing.

Apparatuses for associating a portable electronic device with a cup holder are provided. The apparatuses may be formed from wire and/or make use of a leaf spring design and retain association with the portable electronic device through clamping and retain association with a cup holder through the use of a resiliently deformable element that can be deformed to a size smaller than the cup holder and when released, can push up against the walls of the cup holder with sufficient force to retain association therewith. In some embodiments, when the apparatus is used in a cup holder, the cup holder remains available to receive cups or other objects.

A self-centering and adjustable removable mount having a circular base and opposing outer sloping edges on the outer periphery of the circular base. A notch is formed between the bottoms of the opposing outer sloping edges. A cylindrical shell surrounds the outer sloping edges of the circular base, and the cylindrical shell includes a tab on a lower inner wall of the cylindrical shell sized to fit into the notch of the circular base, wherein the outer sloping edges of the circular base guide the tab into the notch when the cylindrical shell is placed around the circular base, thereby positioning the cylindrical shell in a predetermined orientation. A magnetized lid is connected to the back of a device to be mounted, and the magnetized lid is attracted to a base magnet when the lid is positioned on top of the cylindrical shell.

A hinge mechanism with multiple preset positions is described. According to various embodiments, the hinge mechanism enables a support component to be adjustably attached to an apparatus, such as a computing device. In at least some embodiments, the hinge mechanism utilizes preset hinge positions that enable the support component to be placed at different preset positions. For instance, the hinge mechanism is configured such that an attached support component tends to "snap" into various preset positions. In at least some embodiments, the hinge mechanism includes an emergency escape position that enables the support component to be rotated beyond normal operating positions without damaging the support component.

The invention relates to a receiving apparatus (4) for the removable attachment of a mobile communication device (6) in an interior furnishing part of a motor vehicle, composed of a receiving region for the device (6), which can be placed with its rear side against a support surface (12, 14) and is fixed in the intended position by way of a receiving element (8), wherein the receiving element (8) is in the form of a flap element mounted pivotably on the interior furnishing part, which flap element can assume an open position and a closed position, and wherein the receiving region is designed for receiving devices of different shapes and/or size.
摘要:
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Halterung für mobile Kommunikationsgeräte, die einen optischen Sensor aufweisen, z. B. Smartphones, Tablet-PC's u. ä. Die Halterung besteht aus - einer auf einer Arbeitsfläche positionierbaren Grundplatte (1), - einem oberhalb dieser angeordneten Aufnahmeteil (6, 10) für das Kommunikationsgerät (8) und - einem das Aufnahmeteil (6, 10) und die Grundplatte (1) in variablem Abstand und/oder Winkel zueinander haltenden Abstandsteil, wobei das Abstandsteil jeweils im Bereich der übereinander parallel zueinander verlaufenden Außenkanten von Grundplatte (1) und Aufnahmeteil (6, 10) schwenkbar mit der Grundplatte (1) und dem Aufnahmeteil (6, 10) verbundenen ist. Erfindungsgemäß besteht das Abstandsteil aus zwei Stützen (4), die im Bereich der übereinander parallel zueinander verlaufenden Außenkanten jeweils von außen an die rechtwinklig zu diesen Außenkanten verlaufenden Stirnseiten von Grundplatte (1) und Aufnahmeteil (6, 10) schwenkbar angelenkt sind. Die Länge der Stützen (4) ist so gewählt, dass bei ihrer senkrechten Stellung die lichte Weite zwischen Grundplatte (1) und Aufnahmeteil (6, 10) im Bereich der Schwenkachsen (3, 5) größer ist als die sich rechtwinklig von der Schwenkachse (5) des Aufnahmeteils (6, 10) über Alles erstreckende Abmessung des Aufnahmeteils (6, 10).
摘要:
A mobile device stand, comprising a holding portion (104) for holding a mobile device, a first support arm (12) extending at its proximal end from a base portion, wherein a socket (114) is provided at the distal end of the first support arm, said socket being configured to receive a spherical bearing (112) provided on said holding portion such that said socket and bearing together form a ball joint to permit pivoting about at least two axes of said holding portion relative to said support arm, the device further comprising means for releasing said bearing from said socket so as to remove said holding portion from said first support arm.
