Multipurpose ultra-portable electronics cable
First Claim
1. A configurable cable comprising:
- a main body having a first electrical connector on a terminal end thereof;
a trunk extending from an opposing terminal end of the main body;
a second electrical connector formed on a terminal end of the trunk, wherein the second electrical connector is electrically coupled to said first electrical connector via wires running through a core of the trunk; and
left and right legs extending from the opposing terminal end of the main body and on either side and substantially parallel to said trunk such that said body, trunk, and legs are disposed substantially in a plane in a first position of the configurable cable,wherein said trunk and said left and right legs are bendable from the first position into at least one of a plurality of retained positions out of the plane, and wherein each of the left and right legs includes a malleable core formed of a bendable wire running along a length of each of the legs such that when the legs are bent into the at least one of the plurality of retained positions out of the plane, the legs are retained in that position without elastically returning to the first position.

Abstract
A configurable cable for supporting an/or coupling a portable media device includes a main body with a first electrical connector on a terminal end thereof, a trunk extending from an opposing terminal end of the main body, and a second electrical connector formed on a terminal end of the trunk, wherein the second electrical connector is electrically coupled to the first electrical connector via wires running through a core of the trunk. Left and right legs extend from the opposing terminal end of the main body and on either side and substantially parallel to the trunk such that the body, trunk, and legs are disposed substantially in a plane in a first position of the configurable cable. The trunk and left and right legs are bendable from the first position into at least one of a plurality retained positions out of the plane.
