Benefits of technology

"The invention is a cleaning pad for small devices like smart phones or minicomputers with touch screens. The pad has a rigid carrier element with a soft pad for cleaning the screen. The pad has an operating tip for touching the screen to operate the device. The advantage of this invention is that it simplifies the operation of the device as there is no need to remove and re-insert the operating stick. The cleaning pad is attached to the device via a cord, making it easier to grasp than the small operating stick. The shape of the pad is not important, and the operating tip is located at the end of the pad opposite the connection to the device."

Problems solved by technology

Since the operating stick is a loose part however, it is easily lost for example, in that it may drop to the ground or it is left somewhere after use.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a cleaning pad for display screens of small electronic devices combined with a tip for operating small devices such as smart phones, minicomputers, so-called PDA's and similar apparatus for the interactive communication of the user with the apparatus by way of the display screens.[0002]Smart phones, PDA's and similar apparatus are operated by the user by touching switching areas of the display screen wherein, because of the small size of the apparatus and its display screen and, consequently, of the switching area, a thin pointed operating stick is used. Generally, the operating stick can be inserted on the side of the apparatus and again retrieved for use. Since the operating stick is a loose part however, it is easily lost for example, in that it may drop to the ground or it is left somewhere after use.[0003]On the other hand, a more-or-less needed accessory of such an apparatus is a cleaning pad for cleaning the display sc...
