Smartphone stand {Samartphone stand}

The present invention is a compact device that does not significantly affect the volume of the smartphone because an opening and closing plate that can be moved by a hinge is attached to the back of a smartphone with various functions such as a portable multimedia device and an electronic notebook in a state that matches the inner side of the main body. This is about a smartphone holder that provides convenience to users by keeping the smartphone in one position and then fixing it at a certain angle when the user needs to view the smartphone's LCD screen for a long time.

Recently, computer support functions have been added to mobile phones, and as the need for smartphones, which can be said to be mobile devices that integrate various functions such as PDA functions, Internet functions, and remote control functions, has emerged for a long time, smartphones have become stable without using the user's hands. Currently, users are preferring smartphone stands that can hold the LCD screen at a good angle for viewing.

In addition, rather than being made of a separate component, there is a demand for a smartphone holder to be able to be used as a holder without significantly changing the configuration of the currently used decoration or the case with the card compartment, but there is no product that can satisfy that request. The situation is not.

The inventor of the present invention has proposed a "cell phone case" in Korean Patent No. 10-1999915 (announced on July 12, 2019), which forms an opening on the back of the cell phone case that is smaller than the overall height of the card. At the top of the opening, an extension of a width that allows insertion of a card is formed, and a rail for receiving both edges of the card is formed at the bottom of the extension, and the top of the card inserted into the rail is tilted at an angle at the top of the extension. When a card is inserted into the rail through the expansion portion by forming an inclined surface to be placed on, the upper part of the card is placed diagonally on the inclined surface and the card is accommodated in the opening and the inclined surface to completely close the opening.

According to the above configuration, the withdrawal side of the card is placed on the lower protrusion formed on the inclined surface of the expansion part, and the upper end of the card is connected to the bottom of the upper protrusion, so that the card is worn in the rail, etc. due to repeated withdrawal and storage of the card, and is stored in the pocket, etc. Even if friction occurs on the upper surface of the card withdrawal side when taking out the cell phone, the top of the card is caught on the upper protrusion, preventing the card from falling out of the rail. This prevents the card from being randomly withdrawn from the case, making it very popular with consumers. is getting

In addition, Domestic Utility Model Registration No. 20-0330219 (announced on October 17, 2003) "Mobile phone holder" has the upper part bound to the stair groove to mount the cell phone body, and can be stored by changing the angle in response to the stair groove. It is known that the cell phone holder can be freely rotated and its angle can be adjusted by configuring it as possible, making it possible to easily view the LCD screen of the cell phone while it is mounted.

Prior to explaining the present invention for achieving the above object by way of examples, the present applicant proposed a "card case for attachment to a mobile phone" with Design Registration No. 30-1133218 (registered on October 19, 2021), and MagSafe is installed. It is receiving a good response from general consumers as it allows 1-2 credit cards, etc. to be pushed into the upper part of the back of the card case attached by a magnetic material to the back of the smartphone and stored together with the smartphone.

However, when consumers need to look at their smartphone for a long time, they have to mount the smartphone in a stable state, which causes the hassle of preparing a separate holder, the expense of purchasing it, and the need to install a separate holder if the holder is not used. The inconvenience of having to store it in a location was raised.

Therefore, the present applicant will first explain the first embodiment using the configuration of the card case for attachment to the mobile phone described above and applied to the smartphone with MagSafe installed and shown in Figures 2 to 8, and the smart phone without MagSafe installed. The second embodiment applied to the phone will be described later.

The opening and closing plate 120 coupled to the hinge 110 on which the moving plate 111 is formed at the upper end of the main body 100 is movable so that it can be opened or closed at a certain angle, and the outer portion of the opening and closing plate 120 An attachment port 131 made of a magnetic material is attached to the top, and the upper part of the attachment port 131 covers the moving plate 111 of the hinge 110 from being seen from the outside.

In the above, any hinge 110 can be used as long as it has the function of moving the opening and closing plate 120, but it can be fixed at a certain angle desired by the user. For example, a hinge pin as shown in FIG. 4. (112) is embedded in the upper part of the main body 100, and the first and second hinge pipes 113 and 114 of the flow plate 111 are inserted so that they can rotate around the hinge pin 112, forming an opening and closing plate ( The flow plate 111 is structured so that it can flow only when force is artificially applied to 120) or the main body 100.

In the above, the smartphone 200 on which Magsafe is installed uses an attachment hole 131 formed on the outside of the opening and closing plate 120 made of a magnetic material, and the main body 100 can be attached to the smartphone 200 as needed. ) When the user pulls the main body 100 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the smartphone 200 is located, the attachment port 131 of the opening and closing plate 120 is attached to the smartphone 200. Since it is attached to the MagSafe part, only the main body 100 is opened as shown in Figures 3 and 5. This state is a mount that can be used when it is necessary to look at the smartphone 200 for a long time, so at this time, the main body 100 The lower part 170 and one end of the smartphone 200 function as a stand in a mounted state.

In addition, in the case of a smartphone in which MagSafe is not installed, as in the second embodiment of FIG. 9, when the attachment device 132 is made of double-sided tape instead of a magnetic material, the main body 100 attached to the smartphone is as described above. It will be easy to understand that artificial force can be applied to make something unfold.

That is, in the second embodiment of FIG. 9, the attachment tool 132 is a component that can fix the opening and closing plate 120 to the back of the smartphone 200, for example, double-sided tape, adhesive bond, or a separate fixing clip. This refers to the general term for the following, and hereinafter, the attachment tool 132 should be interpreted as including all of the above-described configurations.

On the other hand, if the opening and closing plate 120 is sized to maintain the minimum area on which the attachment holes 131 and 132 can be fixed, there is no problem in operating the opening and closing plate 120 by attaching it to the back of the smartphone 200. However, the shape and size of the opening and closing plate 120 can be varied according to the user's preference as shown in [FIGS. 8A] to [FIG. 8B].

At this time, the fixing plate 150 formed at the lower part of the opening and closing plate 120 is formed integrally with the main body 100, and a film is provided at the center of the fixing plate 150 as shown in [FIG. 8A] and [FIG. 8B] as needed. A large magnetic material 151 or a rod-shaped double-sided tape 152 can be formed, and there is no problem in its function even if it is formed in the lower center of the opening and closing plate 120 as shown in [FIG. 8C] and [FIG. 8D].

And as described above, the magnetic material 151 or the double-sided tape 152 fixed to the opening/closing plate 120 or the fixing plate 150 does not necessarily have to be in the shape of a bar, but of course can have various other shapes.

In addition, locking protrusions 121 are formed on both sides of the back of the opening and closing plate 120, and support protrusions 142 are formed on both sides of the opening 141 of the main body 100 corresponding to the locking protrusions 121. When the locking protrusion 121 of the opening and closing plate 120 and the supporting protrusion 142 of the opening 141 come into contact, the opening and closing plate 120 is fixed on the inside of the main body 100, and in this state, the opening and closing plate ( The front of the 120 should be substantially aligned with the inner outer surface of the main body 100 so that the opening and closing plate 120 does not protrude beyond the inner surface of the main body 100.

Meanwhile, a card insertion portion 160 is formed on the upper rear side of the main body 100, and rails 161 for receiving both edges 181 of the card 180 are formed on both lower sides of the card insertion portion 160. Thus, the card 180 can be inserted into the rear side of the main body 100 and stored.

In addition, an inclined surface is formed on the upper rear side of the main body 100 so that the upper surface of the card 180 inserted into the rail 161 is placed at an angle to facilitate the insertion and exit of the card 180, and the main body 100 If a finger entry part 162 is formed at the bottom of the back side of the card so that the user's finger can easily enter and push the card 180 to facilitate withdrawal, users will have much convenience in using the card.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that it can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical idea or essential features. .

Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and the scope of the present invention described in the detailed description is indicated by the claims described later, and the meaning and scope of the claims. The scope and all changes or modified forms derived from the equivalent concept should be construed as being included in the scope of the present invention.
