Telescoping illuminated-ring prop mechanism.

Abstract

An arm wearable apparatus includes a telescoping arrangement having a plurality of sections, a user interface system that removably attaches the telescoping arrangement with an arm of a wearer, and a plurality of illuminable rings. Each ring of the plurality of illuminable rings is attached with a respective section of the plurality of sections and has an inner diameter such that the plurality of illuminable rings form an opening to receive the arm when the telescoping arrangement is in a retracted configuration. At least some of the plurality of illuminable rings are arranged beyond an extent of the arm when the telescoping arrangement is in an extended configuration.

Background

BACKGROUND (1) The present disclosure relates to interactive consumer devices, and more specifically to body-worn or hand-held devices having a telescoping arrangement with illuminable rings. SUMMARY (2) In some embodiments, an arm-wearable apparatus comprises a telescoping arrangement comprising a plurality of sections, a user interface system configured to removably attach the telescoping arrangement with an arm of a wearer, and a plurality of illuminable rings. Each ring of the plurality of illuminable rings is attached with a respective section of the plurality of sections and has an inner diameter such that the plurality of illuminable rings form an opening to receive the arm when the telescoping arrangement is in a retracted configuration. At least some of the plurality of illuminable rings are arranged beyond an extent of the arm when the telescoping arrangement in an extended configuration. (3) In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises a telescoping arrangement comprising a plurality of sections, and a plurality of rings. Each ring of the plurality of rings is attached with a respective section of the plurality of sections. The apparatus further comprises a user interface system attached with the telescoping arrangement and configured to be arm-worn or hand-held by a user. The user interface system when arm-worn or hand-held causes the plurality of rings to form an opening to receive an arm of the user. The apparatus further comprises an active extension system coup

Claims

1. An arm-wearable apparatus comprising: a telescoping arrangement comprising a plurality of sections; a user interface system configured to removably attach the telescoping arrangement with an arm of a wearer; and a plurality of illuminable rings, wherein each ring of the plurality of illuminable rings is attached with a respective section of the plurality of sections and has an inner diameter such that the plurality of illuminable rings form an opening to receive the arm when the telescoping arrangement is in a retracted configuration, and wherein at least some of the plurality of illuminable rings are arranged beyond an extent of the arm when the telescoping arrangement in an extended configuration. || 13. An apparatus comprising: a telescoping arrangement comprising a plurality of sections; a plurality of rings, wherein each ring of the plurality of rings is attached with a respective section of the plurality of sections; a user interface system attached with the telescoping arrangement and configured to be arm-worn or hand-held by a user, wherein the user interface system when arm-worn or hand-held causes the plurality of rings to form an opening to receive an arm of the user; and an active extension system coupled with the telescoping arrangement, wherein the telescoping arrangement is configured to extend from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration responsive to each of: force applied through movement of the arm within a sagittal plane; and an input to the active extension system. || 19. A method comprising: arranging a plurality of rings around an arm of a user, wherein each ring of the plurality of rings is attached with a respective section of a telescoping arrangement, wherein arranging the plurality of rings around the arm of the user occurs when a user interface system, attached with the telescoping arrangement, is arm-worn or hand-held by the user; and responsive to receiving an input from the user, extending the telescoping arrangement from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration, wherein receiving the input from the user is one of: applying force applied through movement of the arm within a sagittal plane, and receiving an input to an active extension system.
