CUSHION ASSEMBLY FOR WEARABLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240100811 titled 'CUSHION ASSEMBLY FOR WEARABLE DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The cushion assembly for a wearable electronic device described in the patent application includes a polymer structure with a laminar portion defining apertures and tube structures, as well as foam disposed between the tube structures.

  • The cushion assembly includes a polymer structure with a laminar portion defining a first aperture and a second aperture.
  • The polymer structure also includes a first tube structure extending from the peripheral edge of the first aperture, and a second tube structure extending from the peripheral edge of the second aperture.
  • Foam is placed between the first and second tube structures to provide cushioning for the wearable electronic device.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in wearable electronic devices such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, or other devices that are worn on the body.

Problems Solved

The cushion assembly helps to protect the wearable electronic device from impact and provides comfort for the wearer.

Benefits

- Improved comfort for the wearer of the electronic device - Enhanced protection for the device from impact and damage

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhanced Cushion Assembly for Wearable Electronic Devices" could be used in the manufacturing of various wearable electronic devices to improve user experience and device durability.

Possible Prior Art
