Protective cover for portable electronic devices with keyboard
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11924990B2) describes a unique keyboard designed to be compatible with various devices from different manufacturers or with different capabilities. The keyboard features a support element with a slot that can accommodate the peripheral edges of these devices, allowing them to be self-supported in working positions relative to the keyboard. The forward and rear surfaces of the slot enable the devices to be held at angles ranging from about 60° to 85° to the keyboard, providing flexibility in positioning.
Additionally, the patent includes details about a device retention element that prevents lateral sliding of the devices within the slot. This element, which can engage with an attachment element on the device, ensures a secure fit. The use of magnets as the device retention element is also mentioned in the patent. Furthermore, the patent extends to protective covers that incorporate similar features, such as a slot with forward and rear surfaces to hold devices in a working orientation relative to the base. These protective covers also include a device retention element, potentially using magnets, to prevent lateral movement of the devices within the slot. The protective covers may also have a keyboard integrated into the base, providing a comprehensive solution for users looking to protect and use their devices seamlessly.
