Abstract

An electronic device cleaning case and method for construction thereof is provided. A cleaning component includes a backing and a cleaning cloth affixed to a top surface of the backing. A housing is formed as a polygon shape and includes three or more walls, wherein each wall has a semi-cylindrical shape. Four corners are each affixed to two of the walls to form the polygon shape of the housing. The cleaning component is affixed to a bottom surface of the housing and the housing is capable of inversion such that the cleaning component is moved from a bottom of the housing to a top of the housing.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic device cleaning case, comprising:

a cleaning component comprising:

a backing; and

a cleaning cloth affixed to a top surface of the backing; and

a housing formed as a polygon shape and comprising:

three or more walls, wherein each wall comprises a semi-cylindrical shape;

four corners each affixed to two of the walls to form the polygon shape of the housing, wherein the cleaning component is affixed to a bottom surface of the housing and the housing is capable of inversion such that the cleaning component is moved from a bottom of the housing to a top of the housing; and

a support frame to which the corners are affixed.

2. The electronic device case according to claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises an X-shape with the corners affixed to each of the ends of the X-shape.

3. The electronic device case according to claim 1 , wherein the support frame comprises a stem with two ends extending from each end of the stem at different angles and the corners are each affixed to one of the ends.

4. The electronic device case according to claim 1 , wherein a handheld electronic device is placed in the housing.

5. The electronic device case according to claim 4 , wherein the housing is inverted by pushing one corner of the housing outward and away from the handheld electronic device.

6. The electronic device case according to claim 1 , wherein the walls and the corners are made from the same material.

7. The electronic device case according to claim 1 , wherein the corners of the housing are less flexible than the walls of the housing.

8. The electronic device case according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a watchband affixed to two sides of the housing.

9. The electronic device case according to claim 1 , further comprising:

one or more cutouts in the housing.

10. A method for constructing an electronic device cleaning case, comprising:

constructing a cleaning component by affixing a cleaning cloth to a top surface of a backing;

forming a housing as a polygonal shape by affixing each of four corners to two or more walls, each wall comprising a semi-cylindrical shape;

affixing the corners to a support frame; and

affixing the cleaning component to a bottom surface of the housing,

wherein the housing is capable of inversion such that the cleaning component is moved from a bottom of the housing to a top of the housing.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the frame comprises an X-shape with the corners affixed to each of the ends of the X-shape.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the support frame comprises a stem with two ends extending from each end of the stem at different angles and the corners are each affixed to one of the ends.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein a handheld electronic device is placed in the housing.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the housing is inverted by pushing one corner of the housing outward and away from the handheld electronic device.

15. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the walls and the corners are made from the same material.

16. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the corners of the housing are less flexible than the walls of the housing.

17. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

affixing a watchband to two sides of the housing.

18. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

forming one or more cutouts in the housing.
