Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a stand for mobile devices. Background Technology

[0002] Device holding devices are commonly known and are typically used to securely and reliably hold mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, GPS receivers (Global Positioning System), and PDAs (Personal Digital Accessories).

[0003] Because of the wide range of variations in device size and button positions, when a clamping mechanism must accommodate multiple devices, it must be adjustable and offer high flexibility. For example, US 7,418,097 describes a clamping member for an electronic device comprising two spring-loaded edge clamps (or arms) and a spring-loaded trigger element. The distance between the clamps is variable, and a mobile device is clamped by inserting it between the clamps, and the preload springs of the clamps are compressed by moving the clamps toward each other. To release the mobile device, the clamps are released by pressing the trigger, and the clamps separate due to their preload springs.

[0004] However, the mounting of multiple devices complicates the bracket, as shown in US 7 418 097, which is expensive to manufacture and prone to failure due to the large number of parts. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved stand for mobile devices, which has a simple structure and is therefore robust, easy to operate, and easy to manufacture without complexity.

[0006] In the conception of this invention, according to claim 1, a bracket for a mobile device is provided. By providing a region having a separate, non-linear resistance against the first and second edge clips, a smaller rate of increase in separation resistance is achieved at a larger separation distance compared to using a linear element, such as a coil spring.

[0007] This bracket for a mobile device includes a first edge clamp and a second edge clamp, which extend along a first axis and are configured and arranged such that the first edge clamp and the second edge clamp work together along a second axis to rigidly clamp opposite edges of the mobile device, wherein the second axis intersects the first axis.

[0008] Additionally, this bracket for mobile devices includes one or more tensile resistance elements configured and arranged such that the tensile resistance elements generate resistance to the separation of the first edge clamp and the second edge clamp along a second axis.

[0009] Additionally, this support for a mobile device includes a first edge release portion mechanically connected to a first edge clamp and configured and arranged such that when a predetermined first release force is applied to the first edge release portion, the first edge clamp rotates about a first axis to release the proximal edge of the mobile device.

[0010] The one or more tensile resistance elements include one or more serrated or serrated forming elements, the forming elements being constructed and configured such that the forming elements provide regions with separate nonlinear resistance against a first edge clamp and a second edge clamp.

[0011] Another embodiment of the bracket includes a first edge clamp and a second edge clamp, which are constructed and configured such that the first edge clamp and the second edge clamp rigidly secure and clamp substantially parallel edges of the mobile device.

[0012] An embodiment of the support includes one or more tensile resistance elements configured and arranged such that the tensile resistance elements generate resistance to the separation of the first edge clamp and the second edge clamp in a plane including the first axis and the second axis.

[0013] An embodiment of the support includes one or more tensile resistance elements, the tensile resistance elements including one or more hinges between the tensile resistance element and a first and / or second edge clamp, the hinges being constructed and configured such that the hinges provide a region with non-linear resistance.

[0014] An embodiment of the support includes one or more tensile resistance elements, each including one or more hinges arranged along one tensile resistance element or along two tensile resistance elements or between one tensile resistance element and a first edge clamp and / or a second edge clamp or between two tensile resistance elements and a first edge clamp and / or a second edge clamp, the hinges being configured and arranged such that the one or more tensile resistance elements provide a region with non-linear resistance.

[0015] The implementation of the bracket includes one or more such hinge portions having one or more recesses, one or more notches, one or more grooves, one or more protrusions, one or more raised portions, one or more ribs, one or more sections with reduced cross-sections, one or more tapered sections, one or more barrel-shaped profiles, one or more hourglass-shaped profiles, one or more spherical profiles, one or more hemispherical profiles, one or more cylindrical profiles, or any combination thereof.

[0016] The embodiment of the support includes first and second edge clamps or multiple edge clamps, one or more tensile resistance elements, one or more hinges or any combination thereof, wherein the edge clamps, tensile resistance elements, hinges or any combination thereof are composed of one or more elastomers or combinations of elastomers, wherein the embodiment of the support is preferably constructed as a whole.

[0017] Particularly suitable elastomers are polybutadiene, synthetic rubber, silicone rubber or natural rubber, and other vulcanizable thermoplastic materials.

[0018] The bracket implementation includes a first edge release portion, which is configured and arranged such that when a predetermined first release force is applied to the first edge release portion, the first edge clamp moves away from the second edge clamp to release the proximal edge of the mobile device.

[0019] The embodiment of the bracket further includes a first release protrusion mechanically connected to a first edge withdrawal portion and configured and arranged such that when a predetermined first release force is applied to the first edge withdrawal portion, the first edge clamp rotates about a first axis, thereby the first release protrusion applying a predetermined second release force along a third axis to the movable device, wherein the third axis intersects the first axis and the second axis.

[0020] Furthermore, the embodiment of the bracket includes a second edge release portion, which is mechanically connected to a second edge clamp and is configured and arranged such that when a predetermined third release force is applied to the second edge release portion, the second edge clamp rotates about a first axis and / or moves away from the first edge clamp to release the proximal edge of the mobile device.

[0021] Furthermore, the implementation of the bracket includes one or more fixing devices that are constructed and configured such that the bracket can be rigidly fixed to the support surface.

[0023] In an embodiment of the bracket, the one or more fixing devices are mechanically fixed at the first extended protrusion.

[0024] In the implementation of the support, the first axis and the second axis intersect substantially perpendicularly.

[0025] In the implementation of the support, the second axis and the third axis intersect substantially perpendicularly.

[0026] In the implementation of the stent, the predetermined first release force is suitable for manual application by a single person.

[0027] In the implementation of the stent, the predetermined first release force is suitable for manual application by one person's one hand.

[0028] In the implementation of the stent, the predetermined first release force is in the range of 6 to 10 Newtons.

[0029] In one embodiment of the bracket, a second release protrusion is provided, which is mechanically connected to a second edge withdrawal portion and is constructed and configured such that when a predetermined third release force is applied to the second edge withdrawal portion, the first edge clamp rotates about a first axis, thereby the second release protrusion applies a predetermined fourth release force to the mobile device along the third axis.

[0030] Advantageously, the predetermined second release force and the predetermined fourth release force are substantially different, similar, or substantially the same.

[0031] It is also advantageous that the predetermined first release force and the predetermined third release force are substantially different, similar, or substantially the same.

[0032] Equally advantageous is that the predetermined first and third release forces are applicable to manual application by two parts of one person's hand.

[0033] Another advantage is that the predetermined third release force is applicable when applied manually by one person.

[0034] Another advantage is that the predetermined third release force is applicable to manual application by one person's one hand. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Figure 4C It is a proportionally scaled illustration of a serpentine, curved tension resistance element; and

[0041] Figure 5 The tensile characteristic curve is shown, which includes a region with nonlinear resistance. Detailed Implementation

[0042] Figure 1 shows the bracket 100 for the mobile device 200. More precisely, Figure 1A A top view of the bracket 100 is shown from the side where the mobile device 200 is inserted and / or removed. Figure 1B It shows along in Figure 1A The line BC-BC shown in the figure passes through the cross section of the edge clamp. Figure 1C The same cross-section along line BC-BC through the edge clamp is also shown, but one of the edge clamps is shown during the removal of the device.

[0043] The bracket 100 includes a first edge clip 110 extending along a first axis 170 and a second edge clip 115 also extending along the first axis 170.

[0044] The outline of the mobile device 200 is represented by dashed lines.

[0045] Optionally, the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 can be constructed and configured such that the substantially parallel edges of the mobile device 200 are rigidly clamped by making the two edge clamps substantially parallel to each other. In embodiments where the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 extend over the main portion of the edge of the mobile device 200, the uniformity of clamping can be improved by the fact that the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 are substantially parallel, so as to correspond to the parallelism of the edges of the mobile device 200 in general.

[0046] The first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 are constructed and configured such that they act together along the second axis 175 to rigidly clamp the opposing edges of the mobile device 200. Typically, a force up to 15 Newtons (N) can be applied. The applied force can be related to the degree of movement expected during use. For example, a smaller clamping force can be used in a desktop holder compared to a holder that would be mounted on a bicycle.

[0047] The second axis 175 intersects the first axis 170. The angle between the first axis 170 and the second axis 175 can be predetermined based on the desired shape of the mobile device 200 to be held. Currently, most mobile devices are substantially rectangular, thus it is advantageous for the first axis 170 and the second axis 175 to intersect substantially perpendicularly.

[0048] Within the scope of this specification, the term "predetermined" refers to one or more of the following feasible methods for determining the value:

[0049] • The value has been determined during the design of the relevant components, using simulation data and / or through measurement.

[0050] • The value is determined during use through measurement and / or through experience (“trial and error”) (therefore, the value is predetermined for subsequent use);

[0051] The value is determined during use, which enables dynamic determination and, optionally, dynamic adjustment of the relevant parameters or configuration.

[0052] Furthermore, the bracket 100 includes one or more tensile resistance elements 120, which are configured and arranged such that they form regions with separate nonlinear resistances against the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 along the second axis 175. If the bracket 100 is configured for use with a substantially planar mobile device 200, it may be advantageous to provide the tensile resistance elements in a plane including the first axis 170 and the second axis 175.

[0053] At least one tensile resistance element 120 is required, having a base composed of serrated or sawtooth-shaped molded elements. Compared to a coil spring, the serrated or sawtooth (and hereinafter simply referred to as serrated) tensile resistance element 120 can be configured such that it has a suitable tensile resistance characteristic curve by selecting and changing parameters, such as the shape and size of the bend, the physical properties of the material used, the cross-sectional shape and size of the bend, and the use of one or more hinges. In some configurations, additional connections can be used between the bends to further modify the tensile resistance characteristics. However, this is more akin to a tab than a bend.

[0054] The serpentine or sawtooth-shaped tensile resistance element 120 achieves a high degree of adaptability in tensile resistance characteristics.

[0055] For example, there is initial resistance when the separation distance is only slightly larger than the desired device size. Once this initial resistance is exceeded, relatively little resistance can be provided outside this initial range of separation distance. For the user, this makes it easier to move the mobile device 200.

[0056] Thus, a bracket 100 with substantially constant separation resistance over a wide range of separation distances can more easily hold a variety of mobile devices 200 of different sizes.

[0057] Therefore, the bracket 100, which has a smaller rate of increase in separation resistance at larger separation distances compared to using linear elements, such as coil springs, can more easily hold mobile devices 200 of various sizes. A common problem with known brackets is that the force applied by the linear spring is too large for practical applications when the known bracket is to hold a very large (very wide) mobile device 200.

[0058] Furthermore, the tensile resistance characteristics can be further affected by adding appropriately constructed components, such as spring elements, spring wires, metal reinforcements, magnet pairs constructed to attract or repel each other, elastic elements, additional elastic elements, or elastomeric elements.

[0059] Furthermore, the tensile resistance characteristics can be further influenced by one or more tensile resistance members 120 having one or more hinges (not shown in FIG. 1), wherein the one or more hinges may be arranged along the tensile resistance member 120 itself or between the tensile resistance member 120 and the first edge clamp 110 and / or the second edge clamp 115. Each suitable hinge configuration can be used as such a hinge, for example, having one or more gaps, one or more notches, one or more slots, one or more protrusions, one or more raised portions, one or more tabs, one or more ribs, or any combination thereof.

[0060] Additionally or alternatively, one or more narrowed portions (recessed portions) of the cross-sectional extension of the material may be used as hinge portions. Such one or more narrowed portions of the cross-sectional extension may, for example, be substantially constant in length, tapering, tapering side by side and relatively, forming a barrel-shaped profile, an hourglass-shaped profile, a substantially spherical profile, a substantially hemispherical profile, a cylindrical profile, or any combination thereof.

[0061] One or more hinges may be constructed and configured such that the hinges allow for additional rotation as needed. Additionally or alternatively, the hinges, such as rotary hinges, may provide a target tensile force. Such hinges can be used to further coordinate the degree of tension resistance 120 when the distances between the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 are different.

[0062] The one or more tensile resistance members 120 are constructed and configured such that they provide relatively high resistance to the separation of each clamp within a separation distance provided for the support 100. This reduces the risk of the mobile device 200 falling out during use.

[0063] In addition, device size tables are available, for example, from www.dimensions.com / subcategories / digital-types as of 06.08.2020. Typically, mobile phones can vary in width from 55mm to 80mm. Tablets typically vary in width from 70mm to 225mm.

[0064] Therefore, it is advantageous to provide multiple types of stands 100, each optimized to offer relatively higher tensile resistance for a range of mobile device widths. For example, for mobile phones, small stands correspond to a range of 50mm to 60mm, medium stands to a range of 60mm to 70mm, and large stands to a range of 70mm to 80mm. Similarly, to accommodate tablets of different sizes, different optimized stands 100 can be provided.

[0065] Additionally or alternatively, the support 100 may be constructed and configured such that a user can select or change the range of available widths. For example, the tension resistance element 120 may be configured such that it can be replaced by the user.

[0066] Alternatively or additionally, the separation distance between the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 can be adjusted, for example by means of a thread adjuster.

[0067] Additionally or alternatively, the bracket 100 may be constructed and configured such that the bracket allows for a large bandwidth beyond a minimum usable width. For example, for mobile phones, a minimum distance of approximately 35 mm to 40 mm between the edge clips enables holding a simple phone, while a minimum distance of approximately 52 mm enables holding a more complex phone, such as a smartphone. In the case of this distance, the tension resistance member 120 is preferably constructed and configured such that a minimum elongation value of the tension resistance member is achieved.

[0068] The serpentine tensile resistance element 120 has the additional advantage of being relatively flat, allowing for the manufacture of a more compact equipment carrier 100. The tensile resistance element can also be readily manufactured using techniques such as extrusion, casting, bonding, or 3D printing.

[0069] Figure 1B It shows along in Figure 1A The line BC-BC shown in the diagram passes through the cross-section of the edge clamp. The outline of the cross-section of the mobile device 200 is shown by the dashed line. Figure 1B The situation is shown after the mobile device 200 is inserted, and the tension resistance member 120 generates resistance for the edge clamps that are separated along the second axis 175.

[0070] The edge clip is constructed and configured such that it clamps the edge of the mobile device 200 in such a way that it forms two opposing walls facing each other and extending along a third axis 177. When the device is in use, these walls face the edge of the mobile device 200. The extension along the third axis 177 can be determined based on the thickness range of the mobile device to be received. That is, typically, a mobile phone can vary in depth (thickness) from 6.5 mm to 10 mm. Similarly, a tablet computer can typically vary in depth (thickness) from 5.5 mm to 15 mm. The third axis 177 intersects with the first axis 170 and the second axis 175.

[0071] Therefore, it is advantageous to provide multiple supports 100, which are respectively, preferably cascaded, and preferably optimized in vertical height for clamping the mobile device at a range of depths (thicknesses). For example, small corresponds to a range of 6mm to 9mm, medium corresponds to a range of 8mm to 12mm, and large corresponds to a range of 11mm to 16mm.

[0072] Alternatively or additionally, the bracket 100 may be constructed and configured such that a user can select or change the range of available depths. For example, the edge clip may be constructed such that it is replaceable by the user. Alternatively or additionally, the elongation of the edge clip along the third axis 177 may be adjusted, for example, by using an adjusting helical thread.

[0073] Additionally or alternatively, the support 100 may be constructed and configured such that the support allows for a large selection of available depths up to the maximum value. For example, the wall of the edge clamp may extend, for example, 10.6 mm along the third axis 177.

[0074] Optionally, the walls of the edge clamp may have profiled sections to improve gripping of the relative edges of the mobile device 200.

[0075] Currently, most mobile devices are essentially rectangular in cross-section, which allows for the advantageous arrangement of the second axis 175 and the third axis 177, which intersect substantially perpendicularly.

[0076] Therefore, the wall surface of the edge clamp can be substantially perpendicular to the second axis 175. Optionally, one or more walls can be C-shaped or L-shaped in cross-section to reduce the risk of the mobile device 200 being thrown out during normal use.

[0077] Within the scope of this specification, the term "exit" is used to describe removing a mobile device from the holder 100. This may include steps that occur depending on the construction and configuration of the holder 100. For example, if the edge clip 110 is C-shaped, then a corresponding rotation of the edge clip 110 also causes the edge of the mobile device 200 to be "lifted" (moved away from the holder 100). "Exit" may also include manual steps and / or manual support steps. For example, in some configurations, the edge clip 110 may be detached from the edge of the mobile device 200, allowing the user to manually lift the edge of the mobile device 200.

[0078] Optionally, one or both walls of the edge clamp can be slightly tilted relative to each other, so that on the side of the mobile device 200 away from the support 100 (the upper side, for example on the side of the support 100), the edge clamp is positioned slightly tilted relative to each other. Figure 1B and 1C The separation distance on the two edges (as shown in the diagram) is slightly smaller. In other words, when viewed in cross-section, one or both walls between the two edges can form an angle of less than 90 degrees (less than vertical), preferably about 75 degrees, with respect to the second axis 175.

[0079] Furthermore, the bracket 100 includes a first edge ejection portion 130, which is mechanically connected to and configured to allow the first edge clamp 110 to rotate about a first axis 170. The edge ejection portion 130 can be located at any position on the first edge clamp 110 that is easily accessible to the user when attempting to eject the mobile device 200. For example, as in... Figure 1A As shown, the edge exit portion can be a pressure plate, which is located on the side facing the user and away from the support 100 (upper side, for example, on the side facing away from the support 100). Figure 1B and 1C (As shown in the diagram) The tablet is rigidly fixed to the first edge clamp 110. The tablet can be positioned at any suitable location along the first axis 170, and preferably at the center of the first edge clamp 110 to allow rotation over a large section of the first edge clamp 110. More than one edge exit portion 130 can be provided at different locations along the edge clamp 110.

[0080] Figure 1C This shows the moment along line BC-BC (in) Figure 1A (As shown in the diagram) the cross-section through the edge clamp, at which moment the proximal edge of the mobile device 200 disengages from the first edge clamp 110.

[0081] As in Figure 1CAs shown, the first edge ejection portion 130 is constructed and configured such that when a predetermined first release force 300 is applied to the first edge ejection portion 130, the first edge ejection portion causes the first edge clamp 110 to rotate about the first axis 170. Since this is used to eject the mobile device 200, the rotation of the edge clamp should be sufficient to release the proximal edge of the mobile device 200.

[0082] In practice, it is possible that the user applies force to the first edge exit portion 130 at the optimized position, rather than in the optimized direction, to achieve optimized rotation. Therefore, it is constructed and configured such that a wide range of forces applied at multiple different angles are sufficient to exit the edge of the mobile device 200. Additionally, the wall shape of the edge clamp 110 and the effect of each angle are also taken into consideration.

[0083] In order to apply force fully to the first edge exit portion 130, the bracket 100 is similarly constructed and arranged.

[0084] The first edge withdrawal portion 130 is constructed and configured such that when a person applies a predetermined first release force 300, the proximal edge of the mobile device 200 is withdrawn:

[0085] • Preferably manually, using one or two hands;

[0086] • Preferably using one hand;

[0087] More preferably, use only one or two fingers of one hand. The finger can be the index finger or the thumb;

[0088] • It's best to use the fingers and thumb of one hand;

[0089] • Or a combination thereof.

[0090] In terms of ergonomics, the preferred range for the predetermined first release force 300 is 6 to 10 Newtons (N).

[0091] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that similar considerations apply when the mobile device 200 is placed in the bracket 100 for rigid clamping between the first edge clip 110 and the second edge clip 115. The main difference is that the user can achieve potentially more positions of the bracket 100 because these positions are not (at least initially) blocked by the mobile device 200 itself.

[0092] Advantageously, when inserting the mobile device 200, a similar method and the same edge exit section are used as when removing it. This makes the use of the bracket 100 particularly intuitive.

[0093] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that only one of the edge clips must be mechanically connected to the edge exit.

[0094] For example, one of the edge clamps can be constructed and configured such that it does not allow significant rotation and / or significant movement, wherein the edge clamp acts as a stop for the machinery of the mobile device 200, and insertion / removal must be performed at the other edge clamp.

[0095] It is also advantageous that the first edge withdrawal portion 130 is further constructed and configured such that when a predetermined first release force 300 is applied to the first edge withdrawal portion 130, the first edge clamp 110 moves away from the second edge clamp 115 to release the proximal edge of the mobile device 200.

[0096] Therefore, the rotation attached to the first axis 170 can be used to set additional motion to release the proximal edge of the mobile device 200 more easily, reliably, quickly, or with less force.

[0097] Additionally or alternatively, the bracket 100 may include a second edge release portion 135, which is mechanically connected to a second edge clamp 115 and configured and arranged such that when a predetermined third release force (the predetermined second release force is described below) is applied to the second edge release portion 135, the second edge release portion causes the second edge clamp 115 to rotate about a first axis 170 and / or moves the second edge clamp 115 away from the first edge clamp 110 to release the proximal edge of the mobile device 200.

[0098] Optionally, the bracket 100 can be constructed and configured to provide two edge ejection portions. These two edge ejection portions can be constructed and configured such that they can be used interchangeably, wherein each individual edge ejection portion can be used to eject the mobile device 200. For example, combined use can also be permitted by constructing and configuring a predetermined first release force 300 and a predetermined third release force such that the first release force and the third release force are substantially different, similar, or substantially the same.

[0099] Those skilled in the art will recognize that the explanations relating to the construction and setting of the predetermined first release force 300 in this disclosure can be applied to the construction and setting of the predetermined third release force.

[0100] It is also obvious to those skilled in the art that the construction and setting of the two forces must be substantially the same, while the structural design, arrangement and construction scheme of the edge exit and the corresponding edge clamp need not be substantially the same.

[0101] Advantageously, the structural design, arrangement, and structural scheme of the edge exit section and the corresponding edge clamp can be constructed and set up so that they are substantially identical. In this case, the bracket can be used in both directions.

[0102] With a suitable construction scheme of two edge exit parts and corresponding edge clips, the bracket 100 can be more conveniently constructed such that the predetermined first release force 300 and the predetermined third release force can be manually applied by two fingers of one hand.

[0103] Thus, the mobile device 200 can be moved by pressing with two fingers almost simultaneously, with pressure applied on both sides.

[0104] One of the parameters that can affect the use and can affect the construction and setting of one or more forces is the material used and the composition used for said material.

[0105] For example, the first edge clamp 110, the second edge clamp 115, one or more tensile resistance elements 120, one or more hinges 125, or any combination thereof may be composed of one or more elastomers or combinations of elastomers, and these components are preferably constructed together as a whole.

[0106] Of particular advantage is that one or more elastomers are polyurethane or rubber.

[0107] If one or more elastomers are included in one or more tensile resistance elements 120, the use is preferably limited to the deformation region of the associated elasticity. Of all the materials used in the tensile resistance elements 120, significant degrees of plastic deformation should preferably be avoided.

[0108] Using one or more elastomers in the edge clamp, especially on the wall surface, is preferred because it reduces the risk of damaging the mobile device 200 when rigidly clamped.

[0109] Although not shown in Figure 1, the bracket 100 may optionally include one or more fixing devices constructed and configured such that the bracket 100 can be rigidly fixed to a support surface (not shown). Examples of such support surfaces include writing desks, vehicle dashboards, vehicle sun visors, vehicle steering wheels, camera brackets, lighting equipment, and clothing.

[0110] Depending on the type of support surface, the required fixing strength, and the desired appearance, the one or more fixing devices may be, for example, composed of magnets, electromagnets, magnetic coils, ferromagnetic metals, adhesives, rubber pads, hook and loop fasteners, ring locking elements, threaded fixing elements, threaded holes, clips, spring clips, locking elements, pins, slits, protrusions, slots, retainers, clip retainers, spiral retainers, bayonet retainers, friction retainers, smooth surfaces, fixing suction elements, adhesive pads, elastic cords, or any combination thereof.

[0111] Advantageously, it is possible to use a fixed device that achieves a certain fixed strength without requiring an energy source. Examples include one or more permanent magnets, or one or more bistable magnets, which the user can mechanically move. This prevents undesirable disengagement during current failure and / or during start-up / shutdown.

[0112] If an energy source is included in the support surface, this is advantageous for one or more electromagnets. For example, a bistable locking magnet is constructed and configured such that it maintains a fixed position in the absence of an energy source. In this case, an energy source is needed to reduce the fixing strength to some extent, which also prevents undesirable disengagement during current failure and / or during start-up / cut-off.

[0113] Optionally, the bracket 100 in FIG. 1 may additionally have a protrusion to enlarge the surface where the one or more fixing devices can be mechanically secured. Suitablely, such a protrusion may be mechanically connected to the first edge clamp 110 and / or the second edge clamp 115. However, indirect fixation of one or more fixing devices at the first edge clamp 110 and / or the second edge clamp 115 may increase the force that must be applied to release the mobile device 200 (first release force 300). In this case, it may be specified to use a less rigid material and / or to provide another protrusion comprising one or more fixing devices not connected to the first edge clamp 110 and / or the second edge clamp 115.

[0114] Figure 2A , 2B Figures 2C and 2C show a top view of a second embodiment of the bracket 101 for a mobile device and two cross-sections through the edge clamps.

[0115] With the exception of certain exceptions, the bracket 101 in FIG2 is identical to the first embodiment (bracket 100) described above with reference to FIG1. ​​The second edge withdrawal portion 135 is mechanically connected to the second edge clamp 115 in a similar manner, but instead of being located as a pressure plate at only one location, the second edge withdrawal portion extends substantially along the entire length of the second edge clamp 115 along the first axis 170. This is advantageous to the user because a predetermined third release force can be applied at any location. The first edge withdrawal portion 130 is mechanically connected to the first edge clamp 110 in a similar manner, but instead of being located as a pressure plate at only one location, the first edge withdrawal portion extends substantially along the entire length of the first edge clamp 110 along the first axis 170. This is advantageous to the user because a predetermined first release force 300 can be applied at any location. However, additional construction requirements arising from the additional release protrusion 140 are described below.

[0116] The support 101 includes a second tensile resistance element 120, which also includes one or more serrated or serrated molding elements configured and arranged such that the molding elements provide regions with separate nonlinear resistances against the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115.

[0117] For the support 101, the first and second tensile resistance members 120 are constructed and configured such that they generate resistance to the separation of the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 along the second axis 175, as similar to the function of a single tensile resistance member 120 contained in the support 100 as described above. This can be advantageous because a higher degree of tensile resistance can be provided and / or a smaller tensile resistance member 120 can be designed to provide a similar degree of tensile resistance.

[0118] The use of two tension resistance elements 120 results in a more symmetrical appearance, similar to a violin-like or Kodiat-like shape.

[0119] Furthermore, the support 101 includes a first release protrusion 140. The first release protrusion functions similarly to the C-shaped edge clamping wall surface described above. The first release protrusion is described in more detail below.

[0120] Figure 2A A top view of the bracket 101 is shown from the side where the mobile device 200 is inserted and / or removed.

[0121] Figure 2B It shows along in Figure 2A The line BC-BC shown in the diagram passes through the cross-section of the edge clamp. The outline of the cross-section of the mobile device 200 is shown by the dashed line. Figure 2BThe situation is shown after the mobile device 200 is inserted, and the tension resistance member 120 generates resistance to the edge clamps that are separated along the second axis 175.

[0122] The first release protrusion 140 is mechanically connected to the first edge withdrawal portion 130 and is constructed and configured such that when a predetermined first release force 300 is applied to the first edge withdrawal portion 130, the edge clamp 110 rotates about the first axis 170.

[0123] Figure 2C This shows the moment along line BC-BC (in) Figure 2A (As shown in the diagram) the cross-section through the edge clamp, at which moment, the proximal edge of the mobile device 200 disengages from the first edge clamp 110. (As shown in...) Figure 2C As shown, the first release protrusion 140 is further constructed and configured to apply a predetermined second release force 400 along the third axis 177 to the mobile device 200. This can be particularly advantageous because it significantly reduces the degree of manual lifting required to remove the mobile device 200 from the support 101, and in some embodiments, manual lifting is no longer necessary. Therefore, the predetermined first release force 300 can be reduced.

[0124] The third axis 177 intersects the first axis 170 and the second axis 175. Alternatively, the second axis 175 and the third axis 177 may intersect substantially perpendicularly.

[0125] Although not shown in Figure 2, alternatively, the bracket 101 may include one or more fixing devices constructed and configured such that the bracket 101 can be rigidly fixed to a support surface (not shown). This idea is similar to that already described above for the bracket 100 of Figure 1.

[0126] However, the bracket 101 of Figure 2 further includes a first release protrusion 140. The relatively large surface area makes the first release protrusion a useful component at which the one or more fixing devices can be mechanically secured. However, the securing of the one or more fixing devices at the first release protrusion 140 may significantly increase the force that must be applied to remove the mobile device 200, i.e., the first release force 300.

[0127] For example, if the first edge clamp 110, the first edge withdrawal portion 130, and the first release protrusion 140 are made of a rigid material and rigidly connected to each other, each retaining element contained in the first release protrusion 140 will resist rotation of the edge clamp 110 about the first axis 170 with high resistance. As a test, a permanent magnet with a diameter of approximately 19 mm is placed in the first release protrusion 140, and the supporting surface is made of a ferromagnetic metal that provides a high degree of fixation. Without retaining elements, the first release force 300 is typically in the range of 6 to 10 Newtons. With the permanent magnet, the first release force 300 is 12 to 15 Newtons.

[0128] If an increase in the first release force 300 is not acceptable in the determined implementation, it is preferable to use a material with lower rigidity and / or to provide another protrusion with one or more fixing devices that is not connected to the first edge clip 110 or the second edge clip 115.

[0129] Figure 3A and 3B A top view and a cross-section through the edge clamp are shown of a third embodiment of the bracket 102 for a mobile device.

[0130] With the exception of some features, the support 102 in FIG3 is the same as the second embodiment (support 101) described above with reference to FIG2. The support 102 further includes a second release protrusion 145. The second release protrusion functions in a similar manner to the first release protrusion 140 and will be described in more detail below.

[0131] Figure 3A A top view of the bracket 102 is shown from the side where the mobile device 200 is inserted and / or removed.

[0132] Figure 3B It shows along in Figure 3A The line BB shown passes through the cross-section of the edge clamp. The outline of the cross-section of the mobile device 200 is shown by the dashed line. Figure 3B The situation is shown after the mobile device 200 is inserted, and the tension resistance member 120 generates resistance to the edge clamps that are separated along the second axis 175.

[0133] Similar to the bracket 101 in FIG2, the first release protrusion 140 is mechanically connected to the first edge withdrawal portion 130 and is constructed and configured such that when a predetermined first release force 300 is applied to the first edge withdrawal portion 130, the first release protrusion causes the first edge clamp 110 to rotate about the first axis 170.

[0134] However, the bracket 102 of FIG3 further includes a second release protrusion 145, which is mechanically connected to the second edge withdrawal portion 135 and is constructed and configured such that when a predetermined third release force (not shown, but similar to the first release force 300) is applied to the second edge withdrawal portion 135, the second release protrusion causes the second edge clamp 115 to rotate about the first axis 170.

[0135] The moment when the proximal edge of the mobile device 200 disengages from the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 is not shown. See reference... Figure 2C This illustrates unilateral exit. The bracket 102, as shown in Figure 3, is similarly configured for bilateral exit.

[0136] Similar to the bracket 101 in Figure 2, the first release protrusion 140 is further constructed and configured such that the first release protrusion applies a predetermined second release force 400 along the third axis 177 to the mobile device 200.

[0137] However, the bracket 102 of FIG3 further includes a second release protrusion 145, which is configured and arranged such that the second release protrusion applies a predetermined fourth release force along the third axis 177 to the mobile device 200.

[0138] This can be particularly advantageous because it significantly reduces the amount of manual lifting required to remove the mobile device 200 from the support 102, and in some configurations, manual lifting is no longer necessary. Both the predetermined first release force 300 and the predetermined third release force can be reduced.

[0139] When one or more retaining devices are included in the first release protrusion 140 and / or the second release protrusion 145, similar problems as described above may arise. It can be advantageous to place a device for strong retention in only one of the release protrusions 140, 145. This not only achieves better withdrawal (limited to one side) but also provides strong retention.

[0140] Figure 4A and 4B A top view of the fourth embodiment of the bracket 103 for a mobile device, and a cross-section through the edge clamp, are shown in proportion.

[0141] The illustrations, drawn to the correct scale, should not be construed as limiting the invention to a specific size and proportion. The illustrations are merely intended to provide a starting point for those skilled in the art for further evaluation and routine experimentation. By following the routine steps derived from the generalized tips summarized in the remainder of this disclosure, those skilled in the art can develop a variety of supports suitable for holding a variety of devices.

[0142] With the exception of some features, the bracket 103 in Figure 4 is identical to the third embodiment (bracket 102) described above with reference to Figure 3. The views are not entirely schematic and are to scale. The wall of the edge clamp facing the edge of the mobile device 200 is curved, thereby concentrating the clamping at two locations near opposite ends of the edge clamp. This curvature provides convenient clearance to reduce the probability of pressing a button, which is often located at the edge of the edge clamp. The gripping sections of the first edge ejection portion 130 and the second edge ejection portion 135 of the edge clamp have tabs for improved gripping. These tabs can be... Figure 4B This can be seen in the cross-section.

[0143] Similar to the support 102 in Figure 3, the support 103 includes two tension resistance members 120. However, in the support 103, each tension resistance member 120 includes two hinges 125, one hinge at each connection point between the tension resistance member 120 and the remainder of the support 103. In other words, the support 103 has four hinges 125. As can be seen from the enlarged view, each hinge 125 has one or more cross-sectional reductions. More precisely, each hinge 125 includes one or more narrowing portions. More specifically: each hinge 125 includes two side-by-side tapered portions forming a longitudinal profile similar to an hourglass. This can be advantageous because the hinges provide a pivoting point at a minimum cross-section, which is used when the edge clamps move away from each other (greater separation distance) and / or when the edge clamps move towards each other (smaller separation distance).

[0144] The stent 103 is essentially monolithic because it is formed from polybutadiene, silicone rubber, synthetic rubber, natural rubber and / or materials with properties similar to natural rubber.

[0145] The release protrusions 140 and 145 are not intended for this purpose. Each release protrusion also includes a permanent magnet as a fixing device for the bracket 103 at the support surface. Due to the elasticity of the polyurethane, the mobile device is ejected simply by applying a first release force to the first edge ejection portion 130 of the first edge clamp 110 and / or by applying a third release force to the second edge ejection portion 135 of the second edge clamp 115.

[0146] Figure 4A A top view of the bracket 103 at the correct scale, viewed from the side where the mobile device 200 is inserted and / or removed.

[0147] In this example, the maximum vertical elongation 170a along the first axis 170 (or the height when viewed from the side where the device 200 is inserted and / or removed) is approximately 60 mm.

[0148] Figure 4B It shows along Figure 4A The line BB shown passes through the properly proportioned cross-section of the edge clamp. Figure 4B This illustrates a scenario where no mobile device is placed.

[0149] In this example, the maximum vertical elongation 175a along the second axis 175 (or the width when viewed from the side where the mobile device 200 is inserted and / or removed) is approximately 75 mm.

[0150] In this example, as in Figure 4B As shown, the average vertical separation distance 175b along the second axis 175b at the upper side can be considered as the minimum separation distance. Here, this average vertical separation distance is approximately 52mm, thus the bracket 103 is recommended for use with mobile devices 200 having an elongation of 52mm or greater.

[0151] The moment when the proximal edge of the mobile device 200 disengages from the first edge clamp 110 and the second edge clamp 115 is not shown. (Reference) Figure 1C This illustrates unilateral withdrawal. As shown in Figure 4, the bracket 103 is similarly configured for bilateral withdrawal. As explained above, the release protrusions 140, 145 are not intended to be used in this embodiment.

[0152] In this example, the two walls of the edge clamp are slightly inclined relative to each other, so that on the side of the mobile device 200 away from the support 100 (as in... Figure 4B The separation distance 175a on the upper side (shown in the image) is slightly smaller. Here, the upper separation distance 175b is approximately 52 mm, and the lower separation distance is approximately 55 mm.

[0153] In other words, in Figure 4B When viewed in cross-section, the two walls sandwiched by the edges form an angle of less than 90 degrees (less than perpendicular) with the second axis 175, preferably about 75 degrees. Here, this angle is about 78 degrees on each side.

[0154] The maximum vertical elongation 177a (thickness) of the tension resistance member 120 along the third axis 177 is shown. Here, the maximum vertical elongation is approximately 3.4 mm, and the cross-section of the tension resistance member 120 is approximately circular. Therefore, the outer diameter of the cross-section is approximately 3.4 mm.

[0155] The vertical extension 177b of the center plane of the edge clamp along the middle of the third axis 177 is shown. Here, the vertical extension in the middle is about 8.5 mm. This is also approximately the maximum distance along the third axis 177, around which the second edge exit portion 135 can move for inserting and / or removing the mobile device 200.

[0156] The average vertical elongation 177c of the upper plane of the edge clamp (as shown) along the third axis 177 is illustrated. Here, the average vertical elongation is approximately 14 mm. This is also approximately the maximum vertical elongation (or maximum thickness) along the third axis 177 of the support.

[0157] In the case shown, the average elongation of the wall facing the edge of the mobile device 200 (when in use) is approximately 13 mm.

[0158] Figure 4C A scaled-down illustration of one of the two serpentine tension resistance elements 120 is shown, as it appears in... Figure 4A As shown in (top view) and 4B (cross section).

[0159] The maximum vertical elongation 170b (thickness) of one of the tensile resistance elements 120 along the first axis 170 is shown. Here, the maximum vertical elongation is approximately 3.4 mm, and the cross-section of the tensile resistance element 120 is approximately circular. Therefore, the outer diameter of the cross-section is approximately 3.4 mm.

[0160] The maximum vertical elongation 175c (or width) along the second axis 175 of the serpentine tension member 120 between the connection points with the remaining portion of the bracket 103 is shown. In this case, the connection points consist of hinges 125 on each side, which approximates the elongation between the hinges 125. In this case, the elongation is approximately 50.5 mm.

[0161] The maximum vertical elongation 170c (or height) of the serpentine tension resistance member 120 along the first axis 170 is shown. In this case, the maximum vertical elongation is approximately 19 mm.

[0162] The maximum vertical elongation 175d (or width) of the main meander of the serpentine tension resistance member 120 along the second axis 175 is shown. In this case, the maximum vertical elongation is approximately 36 mm.

[0163] The minimum vertical separation distance 175e between the branches of the meandering portion of the serpentine resistance member along the second axis 175 is shown. In this case, the minimum vertical separation distance is approximately 3 mm.

[0164] Figure 5 An example of a tensile characteristic curve 500 is shown, which includes a region with non-linear resistance due to the use of a serpentine tensile resistance element 120. This tensile characteristic curve is shown as tensile characteristic curve 500 when using a solid line.

[0165] The force applied by the tensile resistance element is plotted in Newtons (N) from 0.0 N to 25.0 N along the vertical (or y) axis. The elongation of the tensile resistance element is plotted in millimeters (mm) from 0.0 mm to 40.0 mm along the horizontal (or x) axis.

[0166] The tensile characteristic curve 500 passes through the following points:

[0167] Elongation [mm](x) Force [N](y) 0.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 10.0 8.5 15.0 10.5 20.0 13.0 25.0 16.0 30.0 18.5

[0168] also, Figure 5 A linear tension characteristic curve 510 is shown, represented as a dashed straight line. The linear tension characteristic curve extends through the points (0,0), (5,5), (10,10), (15,15), (20,20), and (25,25) at the (x,y) points. This represents a typical tension-resistance characteristic curve for a linear spring, such as a coil spring.

[0169] The non-linear tensile characteristic curve 500 follows the linear tensile curve 510 from the point (x,y) (0,0) up to approximately (6mm, 6N). From this point onward, compared to the linear characteristic curve 510, the non-linear tensile characteristic curve 500 provides less increase in tensile force (or separation resistance) at larger separation distances (here, when the separation exceeds approximately 10mm). This means that, for this situation, the bracket according to the invention enables the easier insertion, removal, and maintenance of a wide range of dimensional devices 200 because the force required by the user to separate the edge clamps is less. For example, if the non-linear resistance is used at a distance of approximately 25mm, a force of 16N (Newtons) must be overcome instead of 25N (Newtons).
