Abstract
Retractable wire systems for mobile devices include a wire and a winding mechanism within a housing for the mobile device. The wire is configured to provide electrical communication between the mobile device and an accessory for the mobile device. The winding mechanism is configured to releasably wind the wire, the wire being selectively moveable between a wound position and an unwound position. In some examples, the housing is integral to a rear wall of the mobile device. In some further examples, the housing is a mobile device cover releasably attachable to an outer surface of the mobile device.
Claims20
A retractable wire system for a mobile device, comprising:
- a wire, the wire configured to provide electrical communication between the mobile device and an accessory for the mobile device;
- and
- a winding mechanism within a housing for the mobile device configured to releasably wind the wire, the wire being selectively moveable between a wound position and an unwound position.
A retractable wire system for a mobile device cover, the mobile device cover being releasably attachable to an outer surface of a mobile device, the retractable wire system comprising:
- a body of the mobile device cover having an external wall, an internal wall, and a perimeter wall with an overhanging lip, the mobile device configured to be retained between the internal wall and the overhanging lip;
- a wire, the wire configured to provide electrical communication between the mobile device and an accessory for the mobile device;
- and
- a retractable winding mechanism within a retaining space between the external wall and the internal wall of mobile device cover, the retractable winding mechanism being configured to releasably wind the wire, the wire being moveable between a wound position and an unwound position.
A retractable wire system for a mobile device, the retractable wire system being integral to a body of the mobile device, the retractable wire system comprising:
- an external wall of the mobile device, the external wall being on an opposing side of the mobile device relative to a display of the mobile device;
- a wire, the wire configured to provide electrical communication between the mobile device and an accessory for the mobile device;
- and
- a retractable winding mechanism integral to the external wall, the retractable winding mechanism being configured to releasably wind the wire, the wire being moveable between a wound position and an unwound position.
