Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of item support structures, and more particularly to a mobile device stylus that can be bent to form an item support structure on which a user can place an item (such as a mobile device) to browse the item. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the advancement of mobile communication technology, various mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets have become indispensable items in daily life. However, these mobile devices are often used for watching videos, searching for data, or operating social media, and their use mostly requires handheld viewing or operation, which leads to many inconveniences.

[0003] Furthermore, when users are working, they often have to place their mobile devices flat on the table, making it difficult for them to see the screen content or to operate the screen from an inconvenient angle. Users also often cannot keep track of new messages on their mobile devices, causing communication delays and inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the applicant, having worked in the relevant industry for many years and accumulated rich experience, has conceived and proposed a mobile device stylus that has the function of fixing and supporting mobile devices, greatly improving the convenience of users browsing mobile devices. Furthermore, this application can also fix other items to facilitate users' browsing of those items.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a mobile device stylus, comprising: a coupling portion, a support portion, and a touch portion. The mobile device stylus can be coupled to one side of a mobile device via the coupling portion.

[0006] In some embodiments, the coupling portion is magnetic and is magnetically coupled to one side of the mobile device. The support portion is connected to a portion of the coupling portion. One end of the touch portion functions as a screen stylus for contacting the screen of the mobile device to operate it. One end of the touch portion is connected to the coupling portion. In this application, the coupling portion can be a non-closed ring structure, a ring structure, or a non-circular ring structure.

[0007] The support portion, with the part connected to the coupling portion as a fulcrum, can fold relative to the coupling portion. In some embodiments, to enable the present application to support the article at various angles and heights, a pivot can be provided at the part of the support portion connected to the coupling portion, and its rotational damping is specifically increased, so that the user needs to apply a torque greater than a critical torque to overcome the resistance of the pivot and fold the support portion relative to the coupling portion. After the support portion is folded relative to the coupling portion, the present application forms a supported state, and the angle between the coupling portion and the support portion is greater than zero degrees, forming an elevation angle.

[0021] The coupling described in this application refers to fixing, connecting, joining, or linking two objects together through the aforementioned non-permanent or permanent fixing methods.

[0022] The magnetism described in this application includes permanent magnetism, non-permanent magnetism, or ferromagnetic properties. The magnetic force described in this application is the attractive force generated by magnetism.

[0023] The term "adhesion" as used in this application refers to the direct or indirect contact of the surfaces of two objects. Direct adhesion, as used in this application, means that the surfaces of two objects are in direct contact and are approximately parallel to each other. Indirect adhesion, as used in this application, means that the surfaces of two objects are separated by other objects and cannot directly contact each other, but are adjacent to each other and their surfaces are approximately parallel to each other.

[0024] Although the terms "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, or portions, these components, parts, regions, and / or portions should not be limited by such terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one component, part, region, or portion from another. Therefore, the following use of "first…" may be interpreted as "second…" or "third…" without departing from the teachings of this document.

[0025] The term "sheet-like" as used in this specification refers to an object whose length, width, or diameter is much greater than its thickness, thus giving the object a flat, two-dimensional shape. However, the object still possesses a certain thickness.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-3This application provides a mobile device stylus, which includes a coupling portion 100, a support portion 200, and a touch portion 300. The mobile device stylus can be coupled to one side of a mobile device via the coupling portion 100, such as... Figure 3 As shown. In some embodiments, the coupling portion 100 is magnetic and is magnetically coupled to one side of the mobile device. The support portion 200 is connected to a portion of the coupling portion 100. One end of the touch portion 300 functions as a screen stylus for contacting the screen of the mobile device to operate it. One end of the touch portion 300 is connected to the coupling portion 100. In this application, the coupling portion 100 may be a non-closed ring structure (e.g., generally presenting a ring structure but not a closed loop, or having a gap), a ring structure (e.g., a closed circular loop), or a non-circular ring structure (e.g., a closed square loop, etc., a closed non-circular loop).

[0027] The support portion 200 is folded relative to the coupling portion 100, with the portion connected to it serving as a fulcrum. In some embodiments, to enable the present invention to support the item at various angles and heights, a pivot (but not limited to this embodiment) may be provided at the portion of the support portion 200 connected to the coupling portion 100, and its rotational damping is specifically increased, requiring the user to apply a torque greater than a critical torque to overcome the resistance of the pivot and fold the support portion 200 relative to the coupling portion 100. After the support portion 200 is folded relative to the coupling portion 100, the stylus of the mobile device according to the present invention forms a supported state, and an elevation angle is formed between the coupling portion and the support portion.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 4-6 In some embodiments, the coupling portion 100 is an annular structure and includes a base portion 1001 and a rotatable portion 1002, wherein the base portion 1001 and the rotatable portion 1002 can rotate relative to each other relative to the same axis. Figure 3 As can be seen, the base portion 1001 and the rotatable portion 1002 are two concentric annular bodies, and have different radii relative to the center (e.g., Figure 5 As shown, the radius of the base portion 1001 is r2, and the radius of the rotatable portion 1002 is r1. In this supported state, the fulcrum connecting the support portion 200 and the coupling portion 100 can be displaced to different relative positions of the base portion by rotating the base portion 1001 and the rotatable portion 1002 relative to each other (e.g., ...). Figure 5 and Figure 6 (As shown). This allows the user to freely adjust the support direction of the support portion 200 to support the mobile device at different angles. In some embodiments, the support portion 200 is connected to the rotatable portion 1002 of the coupling portion 100.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 The base portion 1001 and the rotatable portion 1002 have different radii, forming a difference that can constitute a first accommodating space 10. Please refer to... Figure 1-3 In a stored state, when the angle between the support portion 200 and the coupling portion 100 is zero, the support portion 200 is stored in the first accommodating space 10.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 7-8 This is a schematic diagram of the mobile device stylus involved in the embodiments of this application during actual use. The user couples the mobile device stylus involved in the embodiments of this application to the back of the mobile device, and rotates the rotatable part 1002 via the folding support part 200 to form multiple different support states.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 9 In some embodiments, the stylus for a mobile device according to this application further includes a Bluetooth device 20, which is detachably disposed in the center of the coupling portion 100; for example, the Bluetooth device 20 can be snapped into the center of the coupling portion 100. In other embodiments, the Bluetooth device 20 may also be magnetically coupled to one side of the mobile device, rather than necessarily being disposed in the center of the coupling portion 100 by snapping. For example, the Bluetooth device 20 may be a camera function control device for the mobile device. The user can detach the Bluetooth device 20 to control the mobile device to take pictures when taking selfies.

[0032] In some embodiments, the base portion 1001 may be integrally formed on the back cover or protective shell of the mobile device, and the rotatable portion 1002 may rotate relative to the back cover or protective shell of the mobile device to generate different support angles.
