First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a computing device including a first set of contact elements;
a charging device including a support structure and a second set of contact elements provided in the support structure;
wherein the computing device is shaped to be received in the support structure of the charging device to mate the first set of contact elements with the second set of contact elements; and
wherein each respective contact element of the first set of contact elements of the computing device comprises a receiving width that is greater than a relative width of a corresponding contact element of the second set of contact elements of the charging device, enabling the respective contact element of the first set of contact elements to make electrical contact with the corresponding contact element of the second set of contact elements across a tolerance width that is greater than the receiving width of the respective contact element of the computing device.
