Appl. No.:

13/684493

Inventors:

Douglas Evan Stern - Providence RI, US
David Scott Medeiros - Barrington RI, US

International Classification:

H04R 1/10

US Classification:

381332

Abstract:

A case that supports integrated personal audio speakers for easy and secure access for connection to an electronic device is provided. The case includes an extension and retraction mechanism to allow for extension of the personal audio speakers from within the case, and retraction of the same into the case in a manner that avoids tangling of the cord of the personal audio speakers. In one embodiment, the case is configured to store and protect the electronic device as well, and includes an extendable and retractable popper mechanism to electronically connect an audio plug supported by the case with an audio jack of the electronic device. The popper mechanism moves the plug between a retracted position supported within the case and out of engagement with the electronic device, an extended position where the plug extends from within the case, and an engaged position where the plug is operatively engaged with the jack of the electronic device.
