Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally relates to covers for electronic devices, and more particularly to covers for electronic devices that can also act as a stand or easel for hands-free viewing of the device.
- With the advent of “electronic paper” and new liquid crystal display (LCD) technology that allows easy reading of electronic documents in varying light conditions with limited power, electronic book or tablet devices such as the Barnes & Noble Nook® have hit the mainstream. The technology has quickly evolved to very thin, portable devices that have long battery life and built in communication such as cellular and wireless. Many people are beginning to use these devices like they would ordinary books, magazines, or newspapers, carrying them in briefcases or beach bags like they would an ordinary paper periodical or book.
- There are many types of book or device covers that offer different levels of flexibility or levels of convenience in providing functionality as a cover for the device as well as acting as a stand or easel for hands-free viewing of the device. These existing apparatuses tend to be cumbersome, complex, or have a linear usage. The prior art attempts to address such functionality in many ways. Past devices include bookstands that have pocket or pouches on either side of the stand to receive articles. Others fold along middle portions with stand supports formed thereon. However, the prior art fails to provide folding supports with multiple sections that fold and align in reverse positions so as to convert between an open position in which the device stand can be positioned in multiple viewing positions, and a closed position in which the support panels are closed in such a way as to allow the now reversed folded stand to be used as a device cover.
- The combination cover and easel of the present invention incorporates specific design elements that make it different from any other protective cover. The cover includes four rigid panels connected by flexible portions that allow folding front or back. The electronic device is secured to a first of the rigid panels by one of any number of securing devices. The first rigid panel is slightly larger than the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the electronic device. The first panel is connected to a second of the rigid panels by a first of the flexible portions. The first flexible portion has a width that is slightly larger than the thickness of the electronic device in order to accommodate the electronic device when the cover is in a closed position. The second rigid panel is approximately the same size as the first rigid panel to provide protection to the electronic device when the cover is closed and to provide rigid support to the cover when it is functioning as a stand or easel. A third rigid panel is connected to the second rigid panel by a second flexible portion. The third rigid portion has the same vertical dimension, but half of the horizontal dimension as the first and second rigid panels. The second flexible portion has a width that is less than the width of the first flexible portion. Finally, a fourth rigid portion is connected to the third rigid portion by a third flexible portion. The fourth rigid portion is approximately the same size as the third rigid portion. The third flexible portion is approximately the same size as the second flexible portion.
- In a preferred embodiment, a durable elastic band is provided on an interior side of the second rigid panel, in proximity to the first flexible portion. The elastic band is provided to help secure the third and fourth rigid panels when not in use in the easel configuration. The elastic band also secures the first and second rigid panels, in the area of the first flexible portion, when the cover is being used as easel.
- In a further preferred embodiment, magnets are embedded in the first and fourth rigid portions to securely couple these two portions when the cover is folded in the easel configuration.
- For the purposes of illustrating the present invention, there is shown in the drawings a form which is presently preferred, it being understood however, that the invention is not limited to the precise form shown by the drawing in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a plan view of an interior of the cover in a completely unfolded configuration; -
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the cover in a partially folded configuration; -
FIG. 3 is a side view of the cover folded in a first easel configuration; -
FIG. 4 is a cross section of the side view of the cover folded in the first easel configuration, illustrating the imbedded magnets; -

FIG. 6 is a side view of the cover folded in a second easel configuration; -
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the cover folded in the second easel configuration with the electronic device mounted thereon; and -
FIG. 8 is a top view of the cover in a completely folded position with the electronic device contained therein. -
FIG. 1 illustrates the interior of thecover 10 of the present invention in a completely unfolded configuration. Thecover 10 includes fourrigid panels panels Panel 20 is the main panel to which the electronic device can be mounted (as illustrated inFIG. 5 ). The mounting of the electronic device to thepanel 20 can be accomplished by many different securing devices, such as the one shown inFIG. 5 . In a preferred embodiment,panel 20 is more rigid than any of the other panels as it must stably support the device. This additional rigidity can be provided by the securing device. In a preferred embodiment,panel 20 has a width of approximately 14 cm and a height of approximately 21 cm, slightly larger than the dimensions of the electronic device that is to be held in thecover 10. - The
interior surface 20 a ofpanel 20, as well as all of theother interior surfaces cover 10 is covered by an exterior cover material as leather or vinyl, or other suitably durable material.

FIG. 3 illustrates thecover 10 folded in a first easel configuration. As seen in this Figure, thelarge panels flexible portion 30,flexible portion 30 acting as a hinge.Panel 70 is folded frompanel 50 atflexible portion 60. In this easel configuration,panel 70 acts as the base for thecover 10. Interior surface 70 a ofpanel 70 is placed in contact with the surface on which thecover 10 is placed, e.g., a desk or tabletop.End panel 90 is folded frompanel 70 atflexible portion 80 at the same angle asmain panel 20.End panel 90 is cooperatively coupled tomain panel 20. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , in a preferred embodiment, the cooperative coupling betweenend panel 90 andmain panel 20 is accomplished withmagnets only magnet complimentary magnets panels Magnet 100 b (100 a) inpanel 90 is attracted bymagnet 110 b (110 a) inpanel 20, thus detachably securingpanel 90 topanel 20. Although in the preferred embodiment illustrated inFIGS. 4 and 1 , themagnets 100 a, b and 110 a, b are formed as rectangular strips imbedded in the edges ofpanels magnets 100 a, b and 110 a, b is within the scope of the present invention as long as the function of securely anddetachably coupling panel 90 topanel 20. Care must be taken to ensure that the placement and strength of the magnets does not interfere with the operation of the electronic device. - As further appreciated by those skilled in the art,
panel 90 can be secured topanel 20 by other mechanical mechanisms such as snaps or Velcro™. However, the embodiment of embedded magnets is preferred as it provides all of the functionality of securing thepanels cover 10. - As previously described,
flexible portion 30 has a width that is larger than the otherflexible portions FIG. 8 ). This enlarged width creates some instability betweenpanels elastic strap 40 can be stretched around theflexible portion 30 near the positions where theflexible portion 30 connects topanel 20.Flexible portion 30 thus serves to securely couple the ends ofpanels -
FIG. 5 illustrates thecover 10 folded in the first easel configuration with theelectronic device 200 mounted onpanel 20. As can be readily appreciated, the user can easily use and view theelectronic device 200 in a hands-free manner when thecover 200 is configured as an easel. This Figure further illustrates one mechanism for attaching theelectronic device 200 topanel 20 of thecover 10. The securing mechanism illustrated inFIG. 5 is a three point mechanism. Afirst clip 210 detachably attaches to a long side ofelectronic device 200, while twoother clips electronic device 200. In a preferred embodiment, the securing mechanism is embedded inpanel 20 such that only clips 210-230 protrude from theinterior surface 20 a ofpanel 20. In this preferred embodiment, the securing mechanism has a structure (not shown) connecting clips 210-230 that provides additional stability and rigidity topanel 20 for supportingelectronic device 200. As appreciated by those skilled in the art, other securing mechanisms can be used with the cover of the present invention such as a four point mechanism (at the four corners), snaps or Velcro™ -
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a second way in which thecover 10 that has been folded in the easel configuration can be employed by the user. In this use, the foldedcover 10 has been tipped on its side from the configuration illustrated inFIGS. 3-5 . In this use,larger panel 50 acts as the base foreasel cover 10. Interior surface 50 a ofpanel 50 is placed in contact with the supporting surface, e.g., a table top. As seen by comparing the use illustrated inFIGS. 3-5 , the use shown inFIGS. 6 and 7 provides shallower viewing angle of the screen onelectronic device 200. However, due to the larger surface area of panel 50 (in relation to panel 70), the use inFIGS. 6 and 7 provides a more stable configuration. This can be important if the user is required to operate theelectronic device 200 while the cover is in the easel configuration, e.g., press buttons or make swipes on the screen on theelectronic device 200. Although not shown in these Figures, it is understood that themagnets 100 a, b and 110 a, b inpanels cover 10. - As previously described,
FIG. 8 is a top view of thecover 10 in a completely folded position with theelectronic device 200 contained therein. In this configuration, theelectronic device 200 is protected by thecover 10 and can be safely carried or stowed, e.g., in a briefcase or purse. In this closed configuration,panels panel 50 byelastic strap 40. Althoughpanels flexible portion 80, there is sufficient rigidity in the combination ofpanel 90,flexible portion 80 andpanel 70 to enablestrap 40 to secure these panels topanel 50 in a parallel position without any hinging offlexible portion 80. - Although the present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments thereof, many other variations and other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art. It is preferred, therefore, that the present invention be limited not by the specific disclosure herein, but only by the gist and scope of the disclosure.
