Abstract
A sensory device may include a bottom surface, a perimeter wall extending upward from the bottom surface to a perimeter height and a plurality of projections extending upward from the bottom surface to a projection height. The plurality of projections may include a first set, a second set, and a third set, where projections within a given set have a similar structure to each other but a distinct structure relative to projections in other sets. Projections may be (a) generally cylindrical in shape, (b) disposed in a linear manner, (c) disposed as a plurality of concentric circular segments, or (d) disposed as a plurality of coupled linear segments.
Claims17
A three-dimensional rest configured for use with a keyboard associated with a portable computing device, the three-dimensional rest comprising:
- a bottom surface;
- a perimeter wall protruding upward from the bottom surface to a perimeter height;
- a plurality of projections extending upward from the bottom surface to a projection height, the plurality of projections comprising a first set of first projections, a second set of second projections, and a third set of third projections;
- each of the first projections in the first set having a similar first structure, each of the second projections in the second set having a similar second structure, and each of the third projections in the third set having a similar third structure;
- the first structure, the second structure, and the third structure being distinct from each other in structure and each selected from a group comprising projections (a) being generally cylindrical in shape, (b) having a substantially uniform width and substantially uniform height and being disposed in a linear manner, (c) having a substantially uniform width and substantially uniform height and being disposed as a plurality of concentric circular segments, or (d) having a substantially uniform width and substantially uniform height and being disposed as a plurality of coupled linear segments, each linear segment in the plurality of coupled linear segments being disposed at a fixed angle relative to an adjacent linear segment in the plurality of coupled linear segments.
