Abstract
A tether for electronic devices employing a plug having a first end adapted for engagement to a tether and a second end formed on non-conductive material having an exterior surface with an exterior circumference adapted for frictional engagement with the interior circumference of an electrical socket. The second end can be formed of compressible material having an exterior circumference slightly larger than the socket for a biased engagement. An axial void can also be provided to accommodate projections in the socket or to engage an antenna.
Claims20
A tether for electronic devices comprising:
- a plug having a first end and a second end;
- said first end adapted for engagement to a tether;
- said second end having an exterior surface having exterior circumference adapted for frictional engagement with the interior circumference of an electrical socket communicating with the exterior surface of an electrical device;
- and
- said second end being formed of non-conducive material, whereby said second end of said plug is frictionally engageable with said electrical socket and said first end is engageable to a tether to restrain said electrical device.
A tether adapted for engagement with for electronic devices comprising:
- a plug having a first end and a second end;
- said first end adapted for engagement to a tether;
- said second end having an exterior surface and having an axial cavity communicating with a distal end of said second end;
- said second end formed of elastic non conductive material;
- said axial cavity having a cavity circumference;
- and
- said cavity circumference being substantially equal to or less than the outside circumference of an antenna protruding from said electronic device, whereby said axial cavity will engage thereover.
A tether adapted for engagement with for electronic devices comprising:
- a plug having a first end adapted for engagement with a tether and having a second end removably engageable with said first end;
- and
- said second end of said plug formed of non conductive material and adapted for frictional engagement with one of a protruding antenna of an electrical device or an internal socket of an electrical device communicating with the exterior of said electrical device.
