Abstract
A removable input/output module for a touch-screen device is described. The input/output module comprises a front plate, a rear plate and an edge plate. When attached to the touch-screen device, the front plate contacts with the front face of the touch-screen device, the rear plate contacts with the rear face of the touch-screen device and the edge plate contacts at least an upper part of an edge face of the touch-screen device. The input/output module further comprises a mechanism which provides a force to clamp the front and rear plates onto the touch-screen device and an adjustment mechanism which allows the relative position of the front plate and the edge plate to be adjusted.
