PROTECTIVE ENCLOSURE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A protective cover for an electronic device that has an interactive control panel and one or more electrical contacts includes a protective shell having first member and a second member. The second member is configured to join with the first case member to at least partially cover the electronic device. An aperture defined by the protective shell is aligned with the interactive control panel when the electronic device is at least partially enclosed by the protective shell. A securing mechanism secures the first member with the second member. An electrical connection attached to the protective shell is configured to connect an electrical source to at least one of the electrical contacts of the electronic device to provide an electrical connection to the electrical source when the electronic device is received by the first member.

主权项

1. A protective cover for an electronic device having a capacitive-sensing interactive control panel, an electrical interface, and at least one control button, the protective cover comprising:
a protective shell base that has an inner surface, an outer surface, and a plurality of side members defining a perimeter of the protective shell base, the perimeter at least partially covering a peripheral side of the electronic device and having one or more compliant portions formed to flexibly engage a portion of the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell base, the electronic device being a separate unit from the protective shell base; an opening defined by the perimeter of the protective shell base, the opening being aligned to expose at least the capacitive-sensing interactive control panel when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell base; a cushioning member coupled with the inner surface of the protective shell base; at least one hole in at least one of the plurality of side members, the at least one hole being positioned proximate the at least one control button of the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell base; a sealing member in the at least one hole, the sealing member being formed to engage the at least one control button of the electronic device; and an access port in at least one of the plurality of side members, the access port being positioned proximate the electrical interface of the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell base.
