Patent attributes
A dock includes a first section and a second section joined with a spring hinge assembly. An applied force opens the dock and a device may be placed within the dock. The first section includes a first concavity which approximately conforms to a top surface of the device. Within the first concavity is a ridge which comes into contact with part of the top surface of the device. The second section includes a second concavity within which a bottom surface of the device fits. Electrical contacts such as pogo pins within the second section come into contact with electrical contacts on the bottom surface of the device. Annular elastomeric features around at least some of the pogo pins have a top edge which may come into contact with the bottom surface of the device. The spring hinge applies a force that closes the dock, retaining the device therein.
