Abstract:
1. A leash for an electronic device with a data port, comprising: a display; a connector including a broad face on a plane, an insertable member adjacent to the broad face and configured to engage the data port, wherein the insertable member further includes a latch configured to selectively lock the insertable member to the data port; a singular cord including a first end and a second end and defining a spring-loop junction there between, wherein the second end is arranged proximal to the spring-loop junction to form a loop; an elastomeric coating arranged over the cord between the first end and the spring-loop junction, the elastomeric coating defining a spring-section of a coil geometry there between, the elastomeric coating having the properties of color permanence, ozone-resistance, and cold-resistance, the spring-section being between 100 millimeters and 120 millimeters in length in a retracted state, and capable of between 800 millimeters and 900 millimeters maximum length in a fully-stretched state; a protective element arranged over the spring-loop junction and the second end of the cord; and a washer coupling the first end of the singular cord to the connector, the first end of the singular cord extending from the broad face of the connector and through the spring-section and spring-loop junction to the second end of the singular cord, wherein the first end of the singular cord extends from the broad face of the connector in a direction perpendicular to the plane that the broad face is on, and perpendicular to the intended direction of insertion of the insertable member into the data port.
