US 11,444,419 B2 · Systems for providing access to adapters

Abstract

An adapter system is provided that facilitates convenient access to one or more adapters, e.g., DVI-D to HDMI adapter(s), Micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter(s), Mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter(s), Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter(s), DisplayPort to HDMI adapter(s), VGA to HDMI adapter(s), MHL to HDMI adapter(s), and/or USB to HDMI adapter(s). The adapter system includes an elongated wire that features a plurality of adapters connected/secured with respect thereto. The wire defines an attachment mechanism at a first end thereof. The attachment mechanism allows the wire to be movably secured with respect to a cable, e.g., an HDMI cable. In exemplary embodiments, movement of the wire relative to the cable is limited by stop(s) positioned on or defined by the cable. In use, the disclosed adapter system permits a user to readily access and individually utilize each of the adapter(s) connected/secured with respect to the wire on an as-needed basis.

Dependent claims

A system for providing access to one or more adapters, comprising:

a. an elongated wire defining a loop that is configured and dimensionally controlled to encircle a cable, wherein the loop of the elongated wire is movably mounted to the cable such that the loop is capable of translating along the cable;
b. one or more adapters movably mounted or secured to the elongated wire;
and
c. a coupler/stop configured to be removably secured to the cable, the coupler/stop limiting translation of the loop of the elongated wire along the cable;
wherein the loop of the elongated wire is fixed by a coupler that is applied to an overlapping region of the elongated wire.
