Abstract
Example implementations relate to movable pen caps. In an example, an active electrostatic stylus (AES) includes a housing, a pen tip coupled to a sensor, and an integrated pen cap coupled to the housing. The pen cap is movable between a first locked position and a second distal position to enclose the pen tip in an internal volume of the integrated pen cap when the pen cap is located at the second distal position.
Claims15
An active electrostatic stylus (AES), comprising:
- a housing;
- a pen tip coupled to a sensor;
- and
- an integrated pen cap coupled to the housing, wherein the pen cap is movable between a first locked position and a second distal position to enclose the pen tip in an internal volume of the integrated pen cap when the pen cap is located at the second distal position.
1 more element
An active electrostatic stylus (AES) system, comprising:
- a housing;
- a pen tip coupled to a sensor;
- an internal power source to supply power to the sensor;
- and
- an integrated pen cap coupled to the housing and movable between a first locked position and a second distal position that are relative to the housing, wherein the pen cap is moved to the second distal position to enclose the pen tip in an internal volume of the integrated pen cap.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- moving the pen cap from the second distal position to the first locked position to expose the pen tip and use the AES as a writing tool;
- and
- moving a pen cap that is non-removably integrated to an active electrostatic stylus (AES) from a first locked position to a second distal position such that the pen tip is enclosed in an internal volume of the integrated pen cap.
