Принадлежит: Individual

The present invention is a stand for supporting a portable device at an inclined angle relative to a flat surface. The stand includes a frame that is securable to the device and a support secured to the frame. The support is movable in an aperture in the frame between a collapsed position and an erected position. A first portion of the support extends outwardly beyond an exterior surface of the frame, when in the erected position, and engages the flat surface. A second portion of the support remains parallel to the interior surface of the frame when in both the collapsed and erected positions. A tether is connectable to the frame to suspend the device from a vertical flat surface.

A support stand suitable for a hand-held device is provided. The support stand has a first support member and a second support member. The second support member slidably fits the first support member and could be temporarily fixed at different positions on the first support member to adjust the length of the support stand. The hand-held device has a display screen and an antenna. Because the length of the support stand is variable, the hand-held device could be laid on the table by various inclination angles. Besides, the projections of the support stand and the antenna on the display screen are not overlapped, and the influence of the support stand made of metal on the signal of the antenna would be lowered.

A mobile phone holder is disclosed for mounting a mobile phone to the dashboard of a car. This mobile phone holder is integrated into the back of a mobile phone or is attached to the back surface of the mobile phone through adhesive pads, or suction cups, or is incorporated into accessories of mobile phones such as attachable card holding wallets, and etc. One embodiment of this mobile phone holder creates a closed loop around the air vent bars. Hence, shakes of the car will not cause sudden detachment and falling of the phone. In Addition, this mobile phone holder is portable and is carried by the mobile phone. Hence, the user can readily have it upon using a temporary car. Moreover, since this mobile phone holder is not permanently stayed in the car, it is not exposed to extreme temperatures and thus its wear and tear is lower than conventional phone holders. The loop that is formed by this apparatus can also be used for mounting a mobile phone to the handlebar of a shopping cart, the handlebar of a bike, safety belt of a car, a belt loop, belt of a user, strap of a bag, or other accessories of a user. This apparatus can also be used as a general purpose fastener for fastening two or more objects together, hanging objects from a bar. Such general purpose fastener can be used as a toy, strap of a watch, or bracelet as well. 1. A general-purpose fastener comprising:(a) a bistable spring having two free ends and a middle portion between the two ends, wherein the spring is made in one piece or formed by several pieces connected through one patch or a plurality of patches;(b) a fastening means for fastening the two free ends of said bistable spring to one another for creating a loop; and(c) whereby said bistable spring has a first open stable state in which the bistable spring is straight, a second half closed stable state in which the two free ends of the spring are biased toward the opposite free end, and a third locked stable state whereby said fastening means ...

In a method for dust removal in a rollable display device, a control module activates rolling mechanisms and a dust removal mechanism of the rollable display device. The control module determines a first amount of dust particles on a display surface of the rollable display device using data from a dust detection mechanisms. When the first amount of dust particles is determined to exceed a threshold, the control module engages magnetic locks to lock the rolling mechanisms, and the dust removal mechanism continues to remove the dust from the display surface. The control module determines a second amount of dust particles on the display surface. When the second amount of dust particles is determined to fall below the threshold, the control module disengages the magnetic locks to release the rolling mechanisms. Dust removal mechanism may include piezoelectric strips or an ultrasound haptic effect generation module.
