Abstract
An input apparatus for holding and cooperating with electrical devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) having different sizes includes a housing, an input interface, and a cap. The housing includes a front plate, a bottom plate, and two side portions, and the cap is disposed between the two side portions. The cap and housing together form a first space to contain an electrical device with a smaller size when cap is positioned in a top position. Also, the cap may be moved to a bottom position to form a second space for containing an electrical device with a larger size.
Claims13
An input apparatus for selectively holding a first electrical device of a first size or a second electrical device of a second size larger than the first size, said input apparatus comprising:
- a housing having a front plate, two side portions, and a bottom plate;
- an input interface disposed on said front plate and selectively electrically connecting to one of said first electrical device and said second electrical device;
- and
- a cap slidably disposed between said two side portions, said cap being selectively positioned in a bottom position or a top position due to relative movement between said cap and said two side portions;
- wherein said front plate and said cap define a first space for holding said first electrical device when said cap is positioned in said top position, said front plate and said two side portions define a second space larger than said first space for holding said second electrical device when said cap is positioned in said bottom position.
