Benefits of technology

[0006]Therefore it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a fixing member for handheld electronics that includes a slot disposed in a fixing seat and at least one one-way rolling member pivoted inside the fixing seat while part of the one-way rolling member exposes on inner surface of the slot. When the handheld electronic is mounted in the slot, a side wall of the handheld electronic leans against the one-way rolling member so that the handheld electronic is set in the slot firmly without falling off.
[0008]In order to achieve objects, the fixing member for handheld electronics according to the present invention consists of a fixing seat, a rotation axis and at least one-way rolling member. The fixing seat is disposed with a slot and the rotation axis is set on the fixing seat. The one-way rolling member is pivoted in the fixing seat by the rotation axis and part of the one-way rolling member exposes on inner surface of the slot. Thus the side wall of the handheld electronic leans against the one-way rolling member when the handheld electronic is set in the slot. Therefore, the handheld electronic is set in the slot more easily and firmly without falling off from the slot.
[0009]Moreover, the present invention further includes an elastic arm that is set on a side wall of the slot. The rotation axis is disposed on the elastic arm. Thus the side wall of the handheld electronic leans against the one-way rolling member when the handheld electronic is set in the slot. Therefore, the handheld electronic is set in the slot more easily and firmly without falling off from the slot.

Problems solved by technology

However, both have its disadvantages.
After being used for a period of time, the device may have wear and tear.
Therefore, the handheld electronic is unable to be fixed by the hook-and-lock.
Such design is not only complicated but also easy to get damages.
The device is inconvenient for use.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]Refer from FIG. 1A to FIG. 1C, a fixing member of handheld electronics 10 according to the present invention consists of a fixing seat 20, a rotation axis 32 and at least one one-way rolling member 40. The fixing seat 20 is mounted with a slot 22 and the rotation axis 32 is disposed on the fixing seat 20. A stopping member 322 is set on one side of the rotation axis 32 while the one-way rolling member 40 is pivoted in the fixing seat 20 by the rotation axis 32 and part of the one-way rolling member 40 exposes outside(out of) a slot 22. The stopping member 322 leans against a side wall of the one-way rolling member 40.

[0018]The one-way rolling member 40 includes a ratchet or a one-way bearing. In this embodiment, the ratchet is used. A plurality of serrated grooves 402 is set inside the one-way rolling member 40. When the one-way rolling member 40 is assembled on the rotation axis 32, the stopping member 322 leans against one of the serrated grooves 402. As shown in figure, the...

Abstract

A fixing member for handheld electronics is disclosed. The fixing member includes a fixing seat, a slot disposed in the fixing seat, a rotation axis set on the fixing seat, a one-way rolling member pivoted in the fixing seat and part of the one-way rolling member exposes on inner surface of the slot. The one-way rolling member is set on the rotation axis. Thus a side wall of the handheld electronic leans against the one-way rolling member when a handheld electronic is set inside the slot. Therefore, the handheld electronic is mounted inside the slot easily and stably without falling off.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This spplication is a Divisional application of patent application Ser. No. 12 / 176,473, filed 21 Jul. 2008, currently pending.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a fixing member, especially to a fixing member for handheld electronics.[0003]There are various types of handheld electronics such as PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), GPS (Global Position System) and mobile phones etc. For convenience of using handheld electronics in vehicles, a fixing member for handheld electronics is set inside the vehicles. There are various designs of fixing member for handheld electronics available on the market now. Most common one is hook-and-lock type or clip type. However, both have its disadvantages.[0004]The hook-and lock type fixing member requires precise location. After being used for a period of time, the device may have wear and tear. Thus the hook and the lock may slip from each other. Therefore, the handheld electronic ...
