Description

1 / 5 DISPOSITION APPLIED TO A SUPPORT FOR CELL PHONES AND OTHER OBJECTS

[001] This utility model refers to a support for cell phones and a multifunctional accessory aimed at the fitness market, integrating: a 360° rotating telescopic support for cell phones, with an attached universal bottle holder, equipped with a Bluetooth remote control for camera operation; a carrying handle and a headphone holder incorporated into the assembly. Application Area: Fitness environments and studios (use in gyms and training sessions).

[002] Currently there is a growing need to capture photos and videos in gyms without assistance, covering various angles. Furthermore, there is the need for the student to carry a water bottle for hydration during workouts and to carry their headphones; all of this together can lead to significant inconveniences, such as losing headphones and even the cell phone, in addition to not being able to get perfect angles for their photo or video.

[003] In order to solve these issues, the inventor developed a device, a kind of “kit”, that combines all these objects into a single piece, allowing the student / user to take their photo or make their video from any angle, carrying their water bottle and headphones, all at once. State of the Art

[004] The prior art search was carried out to identify patent documents that may present the state of the art related to APPLIED ARRANGEMENT IN CELL PHONE SUPPORT AND OTHER OBJECTS with a focus on selfie sticks, telescopic supports and locking mechanisms.

[005] US10718466B2 - Selfie Stick and Stand with Retractable Locking System. This is a selfie stick and stand with a support related to the field of selfie stick technology. The stand includes a seat body in which a receiving slot is provided, a support foot provided in the seat body and rotating relative to the seat body to extend and support the seat body or to fold to be stored in the receiving slot, and a locking structure provided in the seat body to lock the support foot to support the seat body after the support foot is extended, or to unlock the support foot to allow the support foot to be stored when the support foot is folded. The stand allows the support foot in the stand to be stored in the receiving slot after being folded, so that good structural fusion characteristics are provided between the support foot and the seat body.

[006] US10012342B2 - Integrated Selfie Stick with Internal Storage Handle. The utility model relates to an integrated selfie stick. The selfie stick comprises a long cylinder handle structure, an extendable stick fixed to the handle structure, a fastening device that can be folded relative to the extendable stick, and a fastening device for connecting an active end of the extendable stick and the fastening device, wherein a cavity to accommodate the fastening device is left between an inner wall of the handle structure and an outer wall of the extendable stick; and when the selfie stick is in a packed state, the fastening device is folded into the handle structure, the active end of the extendable stick is retracted back into the handle structure, and the fastening device is placed in the cavity.

[007] New:

[008] Both documents consulted deal with selfie sticks with integrated locking and storage mechanisms. Petition 870250070465, dated 11 / 08 / 2025, page 7 / 12 4 / 5 However, none combine support for a cell phone, bottle, and headphones in a single accessory with a specific fixed lock to integrate the components, as proposed by the model in question. Inventive Activity:

[009] The technical difference lies in the integrated solution and improved fastening (fixed lock) between the most common accessories in gyms: cell phone, water bottle and headphones. The documents found do not propose such a combination, indicating inventive activity according to Art. 13 of the LPI (Law No. 9.279 / 96).

[010] Industrial Application: The proposed product can be manufactured on a large scale using common industrial processes (plastic injection, mechanical assembly), meeting the industrial application criterion as per Art. 8 of the LPI. Advantages and Unique Features • Functional: Integrates the main accessories used in gyms (water bottle, cell phone, and headphones). • Convenience: Easy to carry with the integrated handle. • Economical: Reduces the need for multiple accessories. • Practical: Remote control makes recording workouts easy. Possible Construction Variants • Fixed or telescopic selfie stick. • Adjustable bottle holder for different sizes. • Options with or without tripod.

[011] According to recent INPI administrative decisions on Utility Models (2nd Instance Decisions in Patents 2023): • Case TBR356 / 22: Reaffirmed that utility models that represent functional improvements are preferable even when composed of a combination of known elements. Petition 870250070465, dated 11 / 08 / 2025, page 8 / 12 5 / 5 • Case TBR1271 / 22: Reinforced that the novelty lies in the functional combination of pre-existing parts, provided that it generates a new utility.

[012] The arrangement applied to support for cell phones and other objects”, as analyzed, has strong potential to be registered as a Utility Model, aligning with industrial property legislation and the consolidated understanding of INPI in its second instance decisions.
