Description
- Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. section 119(e)(1), this application for patent claims priority to the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/343,277 filed 26 Apr. 2010, which is herein incorporated by reference.
- In recent years, cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other portable electronic devices have gained world-wide popularity. These devices continue to evolve as display, processing, memory and communication technologies improve. For example, mobile phones have evolved to include internet access, forming handheld PDAs that have broad feature sets. Further evolution has led to a new class of thin, lightweight “tablet” devices, such as an iPAD provided by APPLE, Inc. of Cupertino, Calif., which may include a large display/interface screen, feature sets of a PDA, and processing capabilities that rival those of a powerful laptop computer. While these tablet devices, or “tablets” have large display/interface screens, the viewing area of the screens is typically reduced or obstructed when a user holds or otherwise supports the tablet. To maintain a full viewing area, a user may cradle, or otherwise support a backside of the tablet with an open palm of one hand, while operating the display/interface screen with the other hand. This cradling technique does not secure the tablet in the user's hand and may lead the user to drop the tablet, which could damage the tablet.
- Alternatively, a user may “pinch” an edge of the tablet to maintain a full viewing area during use. While this typically prevents the user from dropping the tablet, this pinching may cause hand fatigue or even injury to a user who operates the tablet for an extended period of time. Injuries from use of these portable electronic devices are likely to increase, because as capabilities and features of the devices continue to expand, users of the devices tend to spend correspondingly more time operating the devices.
- The display/interface screens of modern portable electronic devices typically have a “landscape” mode, or alternatively, a “portrait” mode of operation that may be designated by changing the physical orientation of the portable electronic device relative to the direction of the Earth's gravity. However, this may require an awkward re-positioning of the device by a user, which may interrupt the user's operation of the device or increase the likelihood that the device may be dropped by the user.
- In view of the above, there is a need for a system for securing the tablet during use that reduces the likelihood that the tablet will be dropped and that reduces fatigue or long-term injuries that may occur from pinching an edge of the tablet for an extended period of time. In addition, there is a preference for the system to provide for convenient transitioning between landscape and portrait modes of operation for the portable electronic device.
- A case for a portable electronic device according to embodiments of the present invention includes a shell having an interface aperture and a circular channel within a rear surface. The case further includes a disc captured within the circular channel, wherein the disc has a strap exposed on a surface proximate to the rear surface. The case optionally includes ridges that protrude from the rear planar surfaces and optionally includes one or more retractable legs that enable support of the case in at least one of a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation.

FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the case according to alternative embodiments of the present invention. -
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of acase 100 for a portable electronic device including afirst sleeve portion 1 a and asecond sleeve portion 1 b according to embodiments of the present invention. The portable electronic device (not shown) typically includes a personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet device, electronic book, or any other type of device, element, or system that has a display/interface screen. The display/interface screen is typically an LED screen or other type of flat screen that provides for viewing and/or touch-screen entry of keystrokes or other inputs or manipulations. - In
FIG. 1 , arrows A1, A2 indicate displacement directions for joining thesleeve portions sleeve portions FIG. 4A ) for thecase 100 that is suitable for accommodating the portable electronic device. Thesleeve portions - The
first sleeve portion 1 a and thesecond sleeve portion 1 b haveapertures first sleeve portion 1 a and thesecond sleeve portion 1 b mate at the connection interface C. The rail R typically wraps around the edges of the portable electronic device, securing the portable electronic device within the shell 1 and establishing an unobstructed viewing area or interface area for the display/interface screen of the portable electronic device. While the examples show the rail R as a continuous element that forms the perimeter of the shell 1, the rail R is alternatively discontinuous about the perimeter of the shell 1, and may be formed from a series of one or more rail sections, or one or more tabs that are suitable to secure the portable electronic device in the shell 1. - The first and
second sleeve portions semicircular channels planar surfaces sleeve portions semicircular channels circular channel 5, as shown in the rear views of thecase 100 inFIGS. 5A-5B . The connection interface C is typically formed from an interlocking portion Ca that couples or connects with a complementary interlocking portion Cb. The interlocking portions Ca, Cb may include a male tab and a female receptacle that interlock in a male-female configuration. Alternatively, the interlocking portions Ca, Cb may mate in a sexless configuration wherein the interlocking portion Ca and complementary interlocking portion Cb include overlapping ridge portions that interlock or otherwise capture each other to form the connection interface C. - A disc 6 (shown in the detailed views of
FIGS. 2A-2B ) is positioned within thesemicircular channels circular channel 5 when the interlocking portions Ca, Cb of thesleeve portions FIG. 4A . Thedisc 6 has astrap 7 exposed on a surface proximate to the first and second rearplanar surfaces strap 7 to be accessed from the rearplanar surface 4 of thecase 100 that is formed, for example, by the first and second rearplanar surfaces FIGS. 2A-2B , thedisc 6 includes twoopposing disc plates strap 7 when thedisc plates disc plates disc plates disc 6 that enables the access to thestrap 7 from the rearplanar surface 4. In another example, thedisc 6 is formed from a single element and thestrap 7 is secured to thedisc 6 using fasteners (not shown). Alternatively, thedisc 6 andstrap 7 are integrated into a single element. During typical operation of a portable electronic device, a user may slide one hand through thestrap 7, securely attaching thedisc 6 and shell 1 of thecase 100 to the hand. -
FIGS. 3A-3B show detailed sectional views of a representative one of thesemicircular channels sleeve portions semicircular channel 5 a is shown. Thesemicircular channels disc 6 when thesleeve portions disc 6 to rotate about an axis A (shown inFIGS. 4A-4B ) that is perpendicular to the rearplanar surface 4. Thestrap 7 and rotatable arrangement of thedisc 6 within thecircular channel 5 enable a user of the portable electronic device to conveniently change between landscape and portrait operating modes of the portable electronic device, while the portable electronic device is secured within the shell 1 and to the user's hand via thestrap 7. Thus, transitioning between these two operating modes may be achieved without awkward repositioning of the user's hand and without un-securing the portable electronic device from the user's hand. This provides the user with uninterrupted operation of the portable electronic device and reduces the likelihood that the user will drop the portable electronic device, merely because the user chooses to change between landscape and portrait operating modes.FIGS. 3A-3B also show detailed views of the rail R that defines theinterface aperture 2 to accommodate the display/interface screen of the portable electronic device, and that leaves the display/interface screen of the portable electronic device open and accessible for use and viewing. -
FIG. 4A shows an example of a side view ofcase 100 wherein thecircular channel 5 protrudes from an outer side of the rearplanar surfaces inner side 4 x (shown inFIG. 3B ) of the rearplanar surface 4 to provide a flat interface to the typically flat backside surface of the portable electronic device. Alternatively, theinner side 4 x of the rearplanar surface 4 has any other type of contoured interface suitable to accommodate a backside surface of the portable electronic device when the portable electronic device has other than a flat backside surface. In another example, thesemicircular channels inner side 4 x of the rearplanar surface 4, rather than from the outer side of the rearplanar surface 4. Alternatively, thesemicircular channels planar surface 4, which reduces protrusion of thecircular channel 5 from either the inner side or outer side of the rear planar surface. - In the example shown in
FIG. 4B , acase 102 includes the shell 1 formed as a single element, rather than from thefirst sleeve portion 1 a and thesecond sleeve portion 1 b that are joined at the connection interface C as in thecase 100. In this example,circular channel 5 is formed as a continuous element, rather than with thesemicircular channels disc 6 is either formed within the continuouscircular channel 5, or thedisc 6 is inserted into the continuouscircular channel 5, for example, by temporarily deforming thecircular channel 5 to accommodate the insertion of thedisc 6. After the temporary deformation of thecircular channel 5, thedisc 6 remains captured within thecircular channel 5 in a similar fashion to that of thecase 100. Alternatively, thedisc 6 and thecircular channel 5 are formed, integrated or configured in any suitable manner that provides for relative rotation between thedisc 6 and thecircular channel 5 about the axis A. - The protrusion of the
semicircular channels planar surface 4 as shown inFIGS. 4A-4B enables the user's hand (not shown) to have a more natural or comfortable position once the hand is inserted through thestrap 7. The palm of the user's hand typically rests on the surface of thedisc 6 proximate to thestrap 7 and on the portions of thesemicircular channels planar surface 4. - In one example shown in
FIGS. 5A-5B , each of thesleeve portions ridge planar surfaces ridges planar surface 4 than thesemicircular channels ridges case 100 is placed on the external surface. Theridges disc 6, from the rearplanar surface 4 so that the contact region between the shell 1 and the external surface defines a plane. In the example shown inFIGS. 5A-5B , theridges disc 6. Alternatively, the shell 1 includes only one of theridges ridges - The shell 1 typically includes
access ports 9 that enable external connections to be made through the rail R between the portable electronic device and external devices or systems (not shown). -
FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of thecase 100 according to alternative embodiments of the present invention. In this example, theridges retractable legs legs ridges hinges legs optional recesses ridges recesses legs ridges disc 6 from the rear planar surface of the shell 1. In an open position (shown inFIG. 6 ), thelegs case 100, which enables for an optional “hands-free” viewing or operation of the portable electronic device. In the example shown inFIG. 6 , thecase 100 is supported in the landscape orientation, which accommodates the landscape operating mode of the portable electronic device. - In an alternative example, the
case 100 includes ridges and legs (not shown) that are oriented in a direction perpendicular to that of theridges legs FIG. 6 , to enable “hands-free” viewing and operation of the portable electronic device while thecase 100 is supported in the portrait orientation, which accommodates the portrait operating mode of the portable electronic device. These perpendicularly oriented ridges and legs may be included in addition to, or in place of theridges legs FIG. 6 . While the ridges are shown in a parallel arrangement, theridges legs disc 6 from the rearplanar surface 4. - In another example shown in
FIGS. 4C and 5C , acase 102 includes thedisc 6 pivotally mounted to the rearplanar surface 4 with a pin, rivet or other type of fastener P. The pivotal mounting of thedisc 6 provided by the fastener P enables thedisc 6 to rotate about the axis A that is perpendicular to the rearplanar surface 4. The pivotal mounting in one example, enables thedisc 6 to rotate freely about the axis A. In another example shown inFIG. 5C , the pivotal mounting is inhibited, controlled or limited with a series of one or more rotation stops S that establish a series of rotation positions, typically at ninety degree increments (as shown) or smaller or larger degree increments. The rotation stops S are typically bumps that protrude slightly from the rearplanar surface 4, so as to enable thedisc 6 to rotate about the axis A of the fastener P when sufficient rotating force is applied between the shell 1 and thedisc 6, but to otherwise enable thedisc 6 to rest in alternative positions POS1, POS2 relative to the shell 1 of thecase planar surface 4. In this example, thedisc 6 is shown having a rectangular shape. Alternatively, thedisc 6 has any other suitable shape that accommodates thestrap 7 and the pivotal mounting of thedisc 6 to the rearplanar surface 4. - While the embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated in detail, it should be apparent that modifications and adaptations to these embodiments may occur to one skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention as set forth in the following claims.
