Filed:

Sep 14, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/559462

Inventors:

Gad Amit - San Mateo CA, US
Inbal Etgar - San Francisco CA, US
Chadwick John Harber - San Francisco CA, US
Mike Massucco - Oakland CA, US

Assignee:

Better Place GmbH - Zug

International Classification:

H01R 13/58

US Classification:

439456

Abstract:

The flexible electrical connector is designed to facilitate electrical connections between a power receiving device, such as an at least partially electric vehicle, and a power supplying device, such as an electric vehicle charging station. The flexible electrical connector has a blade shaped housing attached to a power cord that extends to the power supplying device. The blade shaped housing has a substantially rigid end portion with an electrical interface configured to detachably mate with a corresponding electrical interface on the power receiving device. The blade shaped housing also has a handle portion made of a substantially flexible material such which is configured to flex about the rigid end portion along an arc in a single plane. As such, the flexible handle can absorb impacts it receives rather than transferring them to the rigid and breakable electrical interface components.

International Classification:

H04M 1/03

US Classification:

4555753

Abstract:

A mobile device comprising a first casing portion, a second casing portion comprising circuitry, first and second separated pivotable hinge portions connecting the first and second casing portions to allow the first casing portion to be hingedly openable and closable with respect to the second casing portion, and a fixed hinge portion interposed between the first and second pivotable hinge portions. The fixed hinge portion is formed with a cavity in which is mounted a mating connection suitably configured such that a hardware accessory adapted to increase mobile device functionality is coupleable therewith. The hardware accessory preferably has an independent processor which is automatically recognizable and configurable by a mobile device main processor when the hardware accessory is coupled with the fixed hinge portion. The mobile device is therefore operable when the hardware accessory is not coupled therewith.
