Description

Title of the invention: Protective cover for game controller technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a protective cover, more specifically a protective cover for a game controller. Basic technology

[0002] The protective case for the game controller is used to protect the game controller; the Joy-Con® controller protective case is a commonly used protective case for game controllers; the existing Joy-Con® controller protective case generally comprises a main protective body; the side of the main body of the protective case has a controller installation opening and a controller receiving cavity communicating with the controller installation opening; the Joy-Con® controller is installed in the controller receiving cavity through the controller installation opening. Because the Joy-Con® controller is installed in the controller receiving cavity through the controller installation opening, the Joy-Con® controller can easily be removed from the main body of the protective case during use. Contents of the invention

[0003] The present invention proposes a protective cover for a game controller to solve the technical problems of the prior art whereby the Joy-Con® controller easily came out of the main body of the protective cover.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention consists of designing a protective cover for a game controller, which includes a main body of the protective cover; one side of the main body of the protective cover being provided with a controller installation opening and a controller receiving cavity communicating with the controller installation opening; the protective cover for the game controller also including an anti-drop edge cover provided at the controller installation opening and extending inwards towards the controller installation opening.

[0005] Preferably, the anti-fall edge cover is provided around the joystick installation opening.

[0006] Preferably, the cross-section of the anti-fall edge cover is square.

[0007] Preferably, the thickness of the anti-fall edge cover is 0.1 mm to 1 mm.

[0008] Preferably, the thickness of the anti-fall edge cover is 0.5 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the anti-fall edge cover is from 1 mm to 10 mm.

[0010] Preferably, the main body of the protective cover and the anti-drop edge cover are made of PC, ABS, PP, TPU, TPE, PU, ​​TPE+PC, PC + ABS or silicone.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-fall edge cover is integrally formed with the main body of the protective cover.

[0012] Preferably, the protective cover for the game controller is a protective cover for the Joy-Con® controller.

[0013] Preferably, the front surface of the main body of the protective cover is provided with a keyhole communicating with the joystick receiving cavity.

[0014] The present invention provides an anti-drop edge cover for the controller installation opening in the main body of the protective case and extending inward from the controller installation opening, so that when the game controller is received in the controller cavity, the anti-drop edge cover can be used to block the side of the game controller, effectively preventing the game controller from coming out of the main body of the protective case. Drawing description

[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments and drawings, in which:

[0016] [Fig. 1] is a structural diagram of the protective cover for the game controller of the present invention;

[0017] [Fig.2] is a structural diagram of the protective cover for the game controller of the present invention from another perspective;

[0018] [Fig.3] is a cross-sectional view of [Fig.2];

[0019] [Fig.4] is a front view of one side of the controller installation opening of the protective cover for game controller of the present invention;

[0020] [Fig.5] is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of [Fig.4]. Specific embodiments

[0021] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0022] Please also see Figures 1 to 5. The protective case for the game controller of the present invention comprises a main body 1 and an anti-drop edge cover 2 of the protective case. In which:

[0023] The main body 1 of the protective case is used to receive the game controller. In this specific embodiment, the game controller protective case is a Joy-Con® controller protective case, and the game controller is a Joy-Con® controller (for the Nintendo Switch® video game console). A controller installation opening 11 and a controller receiving cavity 12 communicating The controller installation opening is provided on the side of the main body 1 of the protective cover. The controller installation opening is used to install the gamepad. The gamepad is installed in the controller cavity through the controller installation opening, so that the gamepad is received in the controller cavity.

[0024] In this specific embodiment, the front surface of the main body 1 of the protective cover is provided with a keyhole 13 communicating with the controller receiving cavity. The keyhole 13 corresponds to the position of the button on the game controller, thus facilitating operation after the game controller is received in the controller receiving cavity.

[0025] An anti-drop edge cover 2 is provided at the controller installation opening and extending inwards from the controller installation opening; the anti-drop edge cover protrudes from the controller installation opening to form a blocking component, so that when the gamepad is received in the controller receiving cavity, the anti-drop edge cover can be used to block the side of the gamepad, effectively preventing the gamepad from coming out of the main body of the protective cover.

[0026] In this specific embodiment, the anti-drop edge cover is provided around the joystick installation opening, which is not only easy to manufacture, but can also more effectively prevent the joystick from coming out.

[0027] The cross-section of the anti-fall edge cover can have various shapes, such as a square, a half-oval, a combination of a square and a half-circle, etc. In this specific embodiment, the cross-section of the anti-fall edge cover is square, and the square anti-fall edge cover is not only easy to manufacture, but also has a better anti-fall effect.

[0028] The thickness b of the anti-drop edge cover is too small for drop protection, and the thickness of the anti-drop edge cover is too large for the installation of the gamepad. In this particular embodiment, the thickness b of the anti-drop edge cover is 0.1 mm to 1 mm. Preferably, the thickness of the anti-drop edge cover is 0.5 mm, which better balances the convenience of installing the gamepad and preventing the gamepad from falling out.

[0029] The height of the anti-drop edge cover is too great for installing the gamepad, and the height of the anti-drop edge cover is too small to prevent the gamepad from falling out. In this particular embodiment, the height of the anti-drop edge cover is from 1 mm to 10 mm. Preferably, the height of the anti-drop edge cover is 3.8 mm.

[0030] The main body and the anti-drop edge cover of the protective case can be made of PC (polycarbonate), ABS (terpolymer of three monomers: Acrylonitrile(A), Butadiene(B), Styrene(S)), PP (polypropylene), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), PU (polyurethane), TPE+PC, PC+ABS (ABS plastic), or silicone. Since silicone is pleasant to the touch and has a certain degree of elasticity, in this specific embodiment, it is preferable for the main body and the anti-drop edge cover of the protective case to be made of silicone. The elasticity of the silicone is used to facilitate the installation of the game controller and to ensure that the anti-drop edge cover can secure the side of the game controller.

[0031] In order to facilitate manufacturing, in this specific embodiment, the anti-fall edge cover is integrally formed with the main body of the protective cover.

[0032] The present invention provides an anti-drop edge cover provided at the controller installation opening of the main body of the protective cover and extending inwards towards the controller installation opening, so that when the game controller is received in the controller receiving cavity, the anti-drop edge cover can be used to block the side of the game controller, which effectively prevents the game controller from coming out of the main body of the protective cover.

[0033] The above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements to the present invention must be included within the scope of the present invention.
