20090140983 | ERGONOMIC COMPUTER MOUSE - A computer mouse for use with a computing device is provided. The computer mouse may include a mouse body with an ulnar side digit support structure having a front concave region and a rear convex region formed proximate and behind the front concave region. The front concave region may include an overhang portion on a top side and an outwardly flared region on a bottom side. The front concave region may be sized to receive a distal end of a digit of a user, and the rear convex region may be sized to support a proximate end of a digit of a user. The mouse body may additionally include a radial side digit support structure that has a concave region with an outwardly flared region on a bottom side of the concavity. | 06-04-2009 |
20090321490 | LAPTOP COMPUTER CARRIER - Various embodiments of laptop computer carriers with simple, low cost constructions are disclosed herein. One disclosed embodiment comprises a shoulder strap, a hinge pocket that forms a closed loop with the shoulder strap and that is configured to hold a hinged spine of the laptop computer, and a retainer coupled with the strap and configured to retain a side edge of the base portion of the laptop computer. | 12-31-2009 |
20100053084 | COLLAPSIBLE MOUSE WITH PINCH-RISK SOLUTION - Architecture for a collapsible mouse having a hinge with an anti-pinch component. For example, the anti-pinch component can be a sheath that covers the hinge area between a main body portion and a tail portion of the collapsible mouse. The anti-pinch component can also include a hinge having hinge portions respectively connected to the main body portion and the tail portion where each hinge portion has a surface continuous with surfaces of the main body portion and the tail portion, to not permit a gap into which pinching can occur. The anti-pinch component can also include a slot formed between the surfaces of the main body portion and the tail portion. The slot cooperates with a recessed hinge so that the surfaces of the main body portion do not come into contact at any time, thus precluding pinching. | 03-04-2010 |
