Apparatus for holding portable electronic device

Abstract

An apparatus for holding portable electronic device is provided, including an upper cover, a holding seat and at least a latch unit. The holding seat and the upper cover are coupled at one side so that the upper cover able to open or close using the coupling side as center. The latch unit is located at the coupling of the holding seat and the upper cover for locking position of the upper cover after opening; With the above structure, when the apparatus claps an electronic device, the bottom and top edges of the electronic device touch inner walls of the holding seat and the upper cover, respectively, and the latch unit locks the opening position of the upper cover. The open angle allows the electronic device to be held between the holding seat and the upper cover with a tilting angle inside the apparatus.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a holding apparatus, and more specifically to an apparatus for holding portable electronic device, with advantages of sun-shielding and convenient clapping.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The portable electronic device holders currently available in the market mostly clap on to both sides of the electronic device to hold temporarily. For the type of electronic device that the user does not need to view the display screen often when using, this type of clapping is not problematic. However, if the user needs to refers to the display screen, for example, when using GPS, the holder must also enable the user to adjust the viewing angle of the electronic device for convenient use. If the viewing angle is incorrect or the external light is too strong to interfere with the viewing, the user may find the setting to inconvenient.[0003]Hence, it is imperative to devise a holding apparatus to conveniently clap on to the ele...

Benefits of technology

[0004]The primary object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for holding portable electronic device, with high portability, sun-shielding function and ease of clapping clap. The holding apparatus claps on the top and bottom edge of the electronic device so that the electronic device is seated inside the holding apparatus with a tilting angle. The holding apparatus also provide sun-shielding function to enable convenient and comfortable viewing of the device display.

[0005]Another object of the present invention is to provide apparatus for holding portable electronic device, with simple structure, easy operation, suitable for holding GPS, and so on. When the electronic device is not in use, the electronic device can be stored inside the holding apparatus.

[0008]Furthermore, the inner wall of the upper cover includes at least a contact element and the holding seat includes at least a positioning element. The locations of the contact element and the positioning element are far away from the coupling between the holding seat and the upper cover. When clapping, the contact element and positioning element touch the top and bottom edges of the electronic device, respectively, to prevent or stop the electronic device from moving to guarantee a firm clapping. Besides, the bottom surface of the holding seat may include an anti-slip layer so that the apparatus can stay stationary while the vehicle travels.

Problems solved by technology

If the viewing angle is incorrect or the external light is too strong to interfere with the viewing, the user may find the setting to inconvenient.
