<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely fix a stylus in a storage hole. <P>SOLUTION: A stylus used in a computing device includes an elongated shaft 62, a tip, and a fixing device 66 attached to the elongated shaft. The fixing device is designed to interact with a protrusion 72 on the interior surface of a storage hole of a computing device where the stylus is to be stored. The fixing device can be formed of a deformable elastic material such as a memory foam. As the stylus is inserted into the storage hole 30 of the computing device, the material of the fixing device deforms as it passes the fixing protrusion on the interior surface of the storage hole. Once the fixing device has been inserted past the protrusion, the elastic material of the fixing device resumes its original shape so that it will interfere with the protrusion to prevent the stylus from being accidentally removed from the storage hole. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
