An apparatus including a body part configured to receive a replaceable internal part, a first cover part configured to be movable between an open position and a closed position, a second cover part configured to be movable between an open position and a closed position, and when in said closed position, to cover the replaceable internal part. A locking mechanism is configured to lock the second cover part to the body part and the locking mechanism is configured to be releasable, when the first cover part is in said open position and the locking mechanism is configured to be unreleasable, when the first cover part is in said closed position.

Locking mechanism

A cover for an apparatus including a substrate defining the cover and having an exterior surface; a layer over the exterior surface of the substrate; a first portion of the substrate, underlying the layer, having a first composition and defining a first portion of the cover; a second portion of the substrate, underlying the layer, having a second composition and defining a second portion of the cover; wherein the first portion of the cover and the second portion of the cover are substantially opaque in exterior ambient lighting and the second portion of the cover is translucent to backlighting.

Cover translucent to backlighting and opaque in exterior ambient lighting

A user replaceable cover for a flip part of an apparatus, such as a mobile cellular telephone. The user replaceable cover may overlie a display on the exterior of the flip part of the phone. The display is not visible through the cover in ambient lighting. However, when the display is activated the content of the display is visible through the cover.

Cover for a display of an apparatus

A user replaceable cover for attachment to and detachment from an apparatus including a first lateral part extending in a first direction, a second lateral part disposed opposite the first lateral part and extending in the first direction, a posterior part extending substantially in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and joining the first lateral part and the second lateral part and an upper part having extremities and joining at the extremities the first lateral part, the second lateral part and the posterior part, wherein each of the first lateral part, the second lateral part, the posterior part and the upper part has an interior surface and an exterior surface, the user replaceable cover further including a plurality of sidewalls defined by the first lateral part, the second lateral part and the posterior part, wherein the sidewalls terminate at a lower edge for abutment with the apparatus; a face defined by the exterior surface of the upper part; an anterior edge defined at where the first lateral part, the second lateral part and the upper part terminate for abutment with the apparatus; a first posterior tenon extending from the interior surface of the posterior part; a second posterior tenon extending from the interior surface of the posterior part; and an anterior tenon extending from the anterior edge of the first lateral part.

Cover

The invention relates to the design of card readers for cards equipped with memory. Such cards, and also the data stored in the memory of such cards, are generally utilized to produce and/or maintain operating states of technical devices. It is also known that the user personally can store data in certain areas of the memory. However, as the memory design and usage has been standardized for the most part and the memory capacity reserved for use by the user is relatively small, the memory capacity reserved for the user can only be increased by providing the device with additional cards equipped with memory. However, as all cards used in a device to supply the full functionality must operate together in a prescribed manner, it is the task of the invention to specify a card reader that organizes this operation. To accomplish this, it is specified that a monitoring deviceor a closing deviceis present that prevents the insertion of a second cardwhen there is a first cardinserted in the first slot, or that ensures, when there are two cardsin the slotsthat the first cardis removed from its corresponding slotbefore second cardis removed.

Card reader

An input device for inputting at least two control commands into an electronic system, having a housing () accommodating a combined switching and encoding circuit device () with a switching control means () and an encoding control means (); and first and second manually accessible operating elements () for operating the switching control means () and the encoding control means (), respectively. To provide another input device that allows eyes-free operation of multiple functions and has an improved robustness, a separation means () is arranged between the first and the second operating element () so as to clearly separate the operations of the elements from each other.

Input device

A holder and reader for two or more data cards for a radio communication device, the holder including a body having formations for releasably carrying the two or more data cards and being adapted to be removably installed in the data card reader of the device.
