Patent ID: 8866798

Claim:
A stylus assembly for a capacitive touch screen, the stylus assembly comprising: a stylus component connected to a disc component, wherein the disc component comprises a capacitive material layer embedded therein of sufficiently capacitive material to provide capacitance between a proximal face thereof and the touch screen; the proximal face of the disc component maintains proximity with a surface of the touch screen, providing capacitance therewith; the stylus component is connected to the disc component by a received portion on the stylus component received in a receiving portion formed on the disc component opposite to the proximal face; the receiving portion, while securing the received portion of the stylus component therein, allows free rotation thereof through multiple angles with the touch screen surface, while capacitive proximity is maintained between the touch screen surface and the proximal face of the disc component; and wherein the receiving portion, while securing the received portion of the stylus component therein and allowing free rotation thereof through multiple angles with the touch screen surface while capacitive proximity is maintained between the touch screen surface and the proximal face of the disc component, allows disengagement therefrom and re-engagement therewith of the received portion of the stylus component.
