Embodiment Construction

[0037] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a connector adapter that provides an electrical connection and a flexible mount between two electronic devices. In particular, the present invention includes a connector adapter having a first end connector and a second end connector coupled with a flexible base, wherein the flexible base is configured to accommodate bending in response to a force applied through the first or second end connector and twisting motions.

[0038] In one aspect, the first end connector is of a different size or type than the second end connector such that a portable device having a first type connector can be connected to and mounted to another electronic device having a second type connector. In some embodiments, the first end connector has a reduced size or dimensions as compared to the second end connector such that the flexible mount is configured to distribute bending and / or twisting forces applied by the first end connector so t...

Abstract

A compliant mount for use in a connector or connection adapter is disclosed. The compliant mount may be used in a connection between a portable electronic device and another electronic device, such as a docking station. A compliant mount connector adapter may include a first end connector engageable with a portable device and a second end connector engageable with another device, the first and second end connectors coupled with a compliant mount allowing movement of the first end connector engaged with the portable device relative to the second end connector when engaged within the other electronic device. The compliant mount may include any or all of: elastomers, springs, torsion bars, elastomers, rigid members or housing, ball and socket joints, resilient bendable members, and dongles to allow for controlled resistance to bending or torsional forces applied to the portable device when connected to the other electronic device with the connector adapter.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates generally to compliant mounts for use with connectors for portable electronic devices and other electronic devices, and more particularly to compliant mounts for use with connector adapters that allow portable electronic devices to pass through the adapter Supportably mounts to another electronic device. Background technique [0002] The handheld consumer electronics market is filled with a wide variety of portable electronic devices such as cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), video game consoles and portable media players. Such portable electronic devices typically include connectors for connecting and mounting the device to another electronic device (eg, docking station, printer, audio system, desktop computer, etc.). However, as new handheld devices are developed, such devices may use different types of connectors than those used in other electronic devices, so that some devices may not be easily connected to...
