Definitions
- the invention relates generally to fashion accessories and to electronic charger cables for charging portable electronic devices. Particular embodiments relate to electronic charger cables that are usable as fashion accessories.
- Battery-powered portable electronic devices such as cellular phones, have become ubiquitous. Also ubiquitous is a problem that the battery of a portable electronic device can run out of battery charge (i.e., become depleted) during use of the device, or while the device is being carried around. Once depleted, the battery needs to be recharged which requires the electronic device to be connected to a power source.
- devices come with charger cables, but often, the user does not keep the charger cable with the device as it may take up too much storage space, for example in a pocket or a bag. Nonetheless, it is desirable to keep a charger cable handy and close by—where a user carries a charger cable, then a depleted portable electronic device can be used while charging. However, where the user does not carry a charger cable with the device, then a depleted portable electronic device becomes unusable until a charger cable is acquired and the device is recharged.
- users of portable electronic devices do not carry charger cables because the cables are bulky and would take up space in the users' handbags, backpacks, or the like.
- users of portable electronic devices misplace their charger cables because the cables can be removed easily from the portable electronic devices (which the user will carry with them) but not so easily from wall power outlets or the like, or for other reasons the cables may simply be misplaced.
- standard charger cables are unsightly and users typically want to have them hidden or out of sight, or just left at home.
- a charger cable usable with commonly available portable electronic devices that is easy to transport and keep close by for situations where such a cable is needed (e.g., to recharge a portable electronic device) but which will not take up extra space or be likely to be misplaced.
- a charger cable that is aesthetically pleasing so a fashion-conscious user will not be deterred from carrying it in public. Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide a decorative charger cable apparatus that improves upon conventional charger cables on the market and overcomes the problems and drawbacks associated with such prior art charger cables.
- Embodiments of the invention provide a charger cable apparatus, which comprises a charger cable having a first end and a second end, each end including a connector interface adapted for engagement with a complementary connection port or plug.
- the cable apparatus also includes decorative tassels provided on each end of the cable that are adapted to slide over the ends of the cables to conceal or to reveal the male connector interfaces.
- the tassels can be incorporated into a sleeve that entirely covers the cable.
- the tassels provide a decorative and aesthetic feature that hides the connector interfaces, so that the cable as a whole can be used as a fashion accessory that happens to help charge electronic devices on-the-go.
- the tassels can be slid along the cable to expose the connector interfaces.
- the tassels can be slid to cover the connector interfaces.
- the tassels may be fixed at ends of the cable and can be spread apart to reveal the connector interfaces.
- the cable can be shrouded by a single tassel having a clip for attachment to a bag or an article of clothing.
- the connection interfaces can be pulled from under the tassel for connecting a portable electronic device to a power source.
- the cable apparatus can be connected to any purse, wristlet, wallet, bag or luggage. Similarly, the cable apparatus can attach to the user's clothing. Further, the cable apparatus can be worn around a user's wrist. Any of these modes of attachment obviates the problem of a user forgetting or misplacing the cable.
- a clip or magnets may be provided on the cable at a position intermediate the first and second ends to define a loop in the cable. As so connected, the cable apparatus can be attached around a strap of a bag, a zipper on an article of clothing, a belt loop, or a user's wrist.
- the cable apparatus can be used as a stand-alone accessory.
- the cable apparatus can be detached from the bag or clothing for use, for example by disengaging the clip or magnet means on the cable.
- the first end of the cable comprises a standard USB connector interface while the second end comprises an Apple Lightning connector interface, however, any known male connector interface, including but not limited to micro-USB, mini-USB, or 34 pin connector, may be used without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. Additionally or alternatively, one or both ends can be adapted to interact with modular and interchangeable adapter tips so that the connection interface can be changed or adapted to work with connection ports of varying design so as to be usable with many types of portable electronic devices.
- the cable apparatus may include a coating made out of any material, including leather, fabric, plastic, polyurethane, metal or the like, which allows the apparatus to become its own fashion accessory.
- the cable apparatus can be used to charge portable electronic devices, namely, to provide a means whereby a portable electronic device can be connected to a power source, either a standard external power source, such as a computer, power wall socket, car charging socket, or the like, or a portable power charger.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/978,128, filed Dec. 22, 2015, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/112,930, filed Feb. 6, 2015, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The invention relates generally to fashion accessories and to electronic charger cables for charging portable electronic devices. Particular embodiments relate to electronic charger cables that are usable as fashion accessories.
- Battery-powered portable electronic devices, such as cellular phones, have become ubiquitous. Also ubiquitous is a problem that the battery of a portable electronic device can run out of battery charge (i.e., become depleted) during use of the device, or while the device is being carried around. Once depleted, the battery needs to be recharged which requires the electronic device to be connected to a power source. Commonly, devices come with charger cables, but often, the user does not keep the charger cable with the device as it may take up too much storage space, for example in a pocket or a bag. Nonetheless, it is desirable to keep a charger cable handy and close by—where a user carries a charger cable, then a depleted portable electronic device can be used while charging. However, where the user does not carry a charger cable with the device, then a depleted portable electronic device becomes unusable until a charger cable is acquired and the device is recharged.
- Sometimes, users of portable electronic devices do not carry charger cables because the cables are bulky and would take up space in the users' handbags, backpacks, or the like. Sometimes, users of portable electronic devices misplace their charger cables because the cables can be removed easily from the portable electronic devices (which the user will carry with them) but not so easily from wall power outlets or the like, or for other reasons the cables may simply be misplaced. Still further, standard charger cables are unsightly and users typically want to have them hidden or out of sight, or just left at home.
- Accordingly, in view of the foregoing, there is a need for a charger cable usable with commonly available portable electronic devices that is easy to transport and keep close by for situations where such a cable is needed (e.g., to recharge a portable electronic device) but which will not take up extra space or be likely to be misplaced. There is further a need for a charger cable that is aesthetically pleasing so a fashion-conscious user will not be deterred from carrying it in public. Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide a decorative charger cable apparatus that improves upon conventional charger cables on the market and overcomes the problems and drawbacks associated with such prior art charger cables.
- Embodiments of the invention provide a charger cable apparatus, which comprises a charger cable having a first end and a second end, each end including a connector interface adapted for engagement with a complementary connection port or plug. The cable apparatus also includes decorative tassels provided on each end of the cable that are adapted to slide over the ends of the cables to conceal or to reveal the male connector interfaces. Optionally, the tassels can be incorporated into a sleeve that entirely covers the cable.
- The tassels provide a decorative and aesthetic feature that hides the connector interfaces, so that the cable as a whole can be used as a fashion accessory that happens to help charge electronic devices on-the-go. When the cable apparatus is needed to connect to an electronic device, the tassels can be slid along the cable to expose the connector interfaces. When the cable is not connected to anything, the tassels can be slid to cover the connector interfaces. Alternatively, the tassels may be fixed at ends of the cable and can be spread apart to reveal the connector interfaces.
- In another aspect of the present invention, the cable can be shrouded by a single tassel having a clip for attachment to a bag or an article of clothing. The connection interfaces can be pulled from under the tassel for connecting a portable electronic device to a power source.
- The cable apparatus can be connected to any purse, wristlet, wallet, bag or luggage. Similarly, the cable apparatus can attach to the user's clothing. Further, the cable apparatus can be worn around a user's wrist. Any of these modes of attachment obviates the problem of a user forgetting or misplacing the cable. For example, a clip or magnets may be provided on the cable at a position intermediate the first and second ends to define a loop in the cable. As so connected, the cable apparatus can be attached around a strap of a bag, a zipper on an article of clothing, a belt loop, or a user's wrist.
- Alternatively, the cable apparatus can be used as a stand-alone accessory. For example, when needed for use, the cable apparatus can be detached from the bag or clothing for use, for example by disengaging the clip or magnet means on the cable.
- In embodiments of the present invention, the first end of the cable comprises a standard USB connector interface while the second end comprises an Apple Lightning connector interface, however, any known male connector interface, including but not limited to micro-USB, mini-USB, or 34 pin connector, may be used without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. Additionally or alternatively, one or both ends can be adapted to interact with modular and interchangeable adapter tips so that the connection interface can be changed or adapted to work with connection ports of varying design so as to be usable with many types of portable electronic devices.
- The cable apparatus may include a coating made out of any material, including leather, fabric, plastic, polyurethane, metal or the like, which allows the apparatus to become its own fashion accessory.
- In operation, the cable apparatus can be used to charge portable electronic devices, namely, to provide a means whereby a portable electronic device can be connected to a power source, either a standard external power source, such as a computer, power wall socket, car charging socket, or the like, or a portable power charger. By pushing the tassel ends up along the cable, the hidden connector interfaces will appear for connection to an electronic device. The cable apparatus is designed for easy transport so that it is available whenever needed, and particularly suited to on-the-go recharging. Additionally, the cable apparatus can be used to connect devices for data exchange. In general, the cable apparatus can be used with a variety of devices, including but not limited to phones, tablet computing devices, portable computers, cameras, video cameras, Bluetooth devices, navigation systems, portable music players, speakers, and other portable electronics.
- These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in light of the accompanying drawings as described below.
