Apparatus with twistable electronics dock and rotatable connecting port having a plurality of heads
First Claim
1. An apparatus for use with an electronic device, said apparatus comprising:
- a body with a body plane; and
an electronics dock on said body, said electronics dock having a surface and a back with a back plane for supporting the electronic device, said back being in a fixed position with respect to said surface and is upstanding from said surface, wherein said electronics dock is rotatable along an electronics dock axis that is generally perpendicular to said body plane, whereby a viewing angle of the electronic device is adjustable about said electronics dock axis, wherein said surface has a connector opening there through, said electronics dock having a connecting port extending through said connector opening, wherein said connecting port has a first head and a second head, and wherein said connecting port is rotatable about a pivot axis that is parallel to said back plane, whereby either of said first head or said second head can extend above said surface.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus such as a clock with an electronics dock that is twistable relative to a body and with a rotatable connecting port having a plurality of heads. The body has a top generally lying in a plane, a first face with a display and a second face with a display. An electronics dock is secured relative to the body in a twistable manner relative to the body top. In this regard, an electronic device held within the electronics dock can be selectively rotated for viewing about an axis that is generally perpendicular to the body top. Further, a connecting port with multiple charging heads is provided, such as for Android or Apple type devices. The connecting port can be rotated about an axis to allow access to the desired head. A lock is provided to hold the desired head in position for use.
