Cases or holders for cell phones, personal digital assistants, portable video/music players, electronic books, electronic tablets and other handheld and/or free-standing display devices, as well as the devices themselves are disclosed. In different embodiments, a versatile protective holder that can allow placement on any surface for hands-free viewing, with full adjustment of viewing angle in landscape and/or portrait orientations; directional sound reflecting and baffling; easier cleaning and viewing of the device's screen; easier grasping by the user; wearing of the device using a belt clip or arm or waist band; as well as attachment to an automobile, bicycle, or other vehicle are disclosed.

Holder for electronic device with support

A compact electronic apparatus comprises a main unit having at least a power supplying section and a display, at least one of several processing units having a key input section and a memory adapted to be removably attached to the main unit and a connecting section for connecting one of said processing units to the main unit Each one of said processing units to the main unit Each of the processing units has a different function

Compact electronic apparatus with removable processing units

A transparent plastic case for encapsulation of a remote control unit having pushbuttons on its upper face, such that spilled liquid beverages cannot reach the pushbuttons to adversely affect operation of the control unit. The plastic case is openable to permit easy insertion of the control unit into the case.

Cover for remote control unit

A cellular telephone casing, for enclosing and protecting a cellular telephone without interfering with the normal functionality of the cellular telephone, the casing having walls made of vinyl covered foam which define an interior volume for fully enclosing the cellular telephone in a substantially waterproof protective covering. The casing has speaker wells and microphone wells which allow uninhibited communication with the telephone through the casing, but are selectively filled with a speaker plug and microphone plug when the telephone is not in use to maintain waterproofing of the casing. At least one transparent window is provided to allow buttons of the telephone to be operated and displays to be visualized. A top split and side splits allow the cellular telephone to be inserted into the casing, and an overhead strap and side straps selectively maintain the top split and side splits closed to maintain waterproofing of the case.

Cellular telephone case

A protective cover (20) for a communication device (10) comprises a protective layer having a shape closely resembling the shape of said communication device (10) to closely contour to said communication device (10).

Environmental radio guard

This invention relates to protection cases for such portable sonance instruments as tape recorders, radio receiving sets, etc. These cases are made with waterproof sheet material such as vinyl chloride, so as to cover tightly to protect those instruments from water, spray, dust or the like.

Protection case for tape-recorder or radio-set

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus capable of recording video, audio and other information on a magnetic tape by, for example, the helical scanning method. A rotary head is rotated at an m-fold speed to record intermittent tracks on the magnetic tape so that real-time simultaneous monitoring is performed. By high-speed dubbing due to high-density intermittent recording and by increasing the number of repetition of track scanning, the information is recorded and reproduced simultaneously with a plurality of channels. Any tracking error is detected to form a continuous and uniform track pattern. With this intermittent comb-shaped recording, reciprocating recording and reproducing can be realized.

Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus

Fast forwarding and rewinding mechanism in tape recorder of magazine type

A sound-reflector, for instance a tilted plate, is set over a microphone on the top face of a chest-pocket size small tape-recorder, so that voice of a person who is talking to the person who carries the tape-recorder is reflected to effectively reach the microphone provided on the top face. By means of the sound-reflector, both the voice of the tape-recorder carrying person and the voice of his companion are recorded with more even levels in comparison with recordings by conventional chest-pocket type tape-recorders without such a sound-reflector.

Portable tape-recorder

A magazine-type tape recorder wherein there are relative pivotal and linear movements between a movable body having a tape drive system and a magazine load system, comprising means for pivotally and linearly movably supporting one end of the movable body, a locking means for holding the movable body in an operative position, arcuate guide slots on the sides of a casing for guiding other ends of the movable body in the operative position or an inoperative position, means disposed on said casing and slidable along slots thereon by being engaged by said inserted magazine, first resilient means disposed between the movable body and said casing for urging the body towards the inoperative position, and second resilient means disposed between said slidable means and said casing for urging said slidable means towards said magnetic insertion opening, whereby the tape magazine can be ejected sufficiently out of the magazine insertion opening in response to an unlocking operation for the withdrawal of the tape magazine from the tape recorder.
