Abstract: An electronic terminal of the type employing a card reading device mounted within the interior thereof accessible through an input port formed in a wall of the terminal. A shield formed of an elastomeric material is mounted adjacent the input port of the card reader to prevent the entrance of debris into the interior of the terminal. The shield provides at least two opposing movable overlapping flaps extending over the card reader input port. The flaps are readily flexible to allow a card to slide therebetween, and automatically flex back to an overlapping closed position when the card is withdrawn. Locator pins and mating holes are provided in said flaps to assure a consistent return to the closed and sealed position. In one embodiment, the shield is made from two half sections which may be either separated or connected via a flexible bridge. In another embodiment, end inserts are provided between said half sections which may also be separate members or attached to said half sections via corresponding flexible bridges.

Abstract: A device (10) adding keyboard input to a handheld computer (12) lacking such input (such as pen computers and personal digital assistants) includes a bracket (30) having a plurality of clips (33) removably carrying the handheld computer (12), and a joint (40) secured to the keyboard (11) and the bracket (30) for positioning the keyboard (11) in a plurality of orientations relative to the handheld computer (12). These orientations include a first orientation in which the keyboard (11) is operable and at a preselected viewing angle from a display (14) that is pan of the handheld computer (12), a second orientation adjacent the display (14) in which the keyboard (11) substantially covers the display (14), and a third orientation proximate the handheld computer (12) in which the display (14) is unobstructed, thereby facilitating pen-based input through the display (14). A locking slide (51) carried in a recess (52) is selectively extended by the user to pass through a plurality of slots (53, 54 and 55) in joint (40) to secure the keyboard (11) and handheld computer (12) in the first and operational orientation.

Abstract translation: 将缺少这样的输入（例如笔式计算机和个人数字助理）的键盘输入添加到键盘输入的装置（10）包括具有可移除地携带手持计算机（12）的多个夹子（33）的托架（30） ，以及固定到键盘（11）和支架（30）的接头（40），用于将键盘（11）相对于手持式计算机（12）定位成多个取向。 这些方向包括第一方向，其中键盘11可操作并且以与手持式计算机（12）的平底锅的显示器（14）成预定的视角相邻的显示器（14）的第二定向，其中， 键盘（11）基本上覆盖显示器（14），以及靠近手持式计算机（12）的第三方向，其中显示器（14）不被阻挡，从而便于通过显示器（14）进行基于笔的输入。 携带在凹部（52）中的锁定滑块（51）由使用者选择性地延伸以穿过接头（40）中的多个狭槽（53,54和55），以固定键盘（11）和手持式计算机（12） ）在第一和操作方向。

Abstract: A protective case for housing a portable computer having a keyboard and a display, which protective case includes a keyboard case for receiving the keyboard and a display case for receiving the display. The display case is pivotally attached to the keyboard case and is movable between an open position and a closed position relative to the keyboard case. The axis of rotation of the display case relative to the keyboard case is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the display relative to the keyboard of the portable computer. An articulating handle is provided which attaches to both the keyboard case and the display case, and articulates about a pivot pin as the display case moves relative to the keyboard case. Additionally, the handle may be moved between an unlatched position whereby the display case pivots freely relative to the keyboard case, and a latched position whereby the display case is retained against movement relative to the keyboard case. In the unlatched position, the handle articulates about a pivot pin which is parallel to the axis of rotation of the portable computer. In the latched position, the pivot pin is substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the portable computer thereby preventing movement of the display relative to the keyboard.
