Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a storage case that can be used as a stand for storing tablet devices and can also be transformed into two different shapes, high and low, to prop up the tablet device for improved operability. [Background technology]

[0002] Normally, when carrying a tablet device, which is a precision machine, if it is simply placed in a bag there is a risk of it colliding with other items or being damaged if the backpack or bag is dropped. Therefore, by carrying the tablet device in a storage case, it can be absorbed from shocks and vibrations and can also be protected from dust, water, etc. On the other hand, when using a tablet device to watch videos or read e-books, or to perform tasks such as creating documents in the same way as with a PC, placing the device directly on a flat desk or table can cause various problems such as difficulty in viewing or typing and heat buildup, so tablet devices are often used by propping them up on a stand.

[0003] However, when carrying a tablet device, it is very inconvenient to carry the stand in a backpack or bag in addition to the device in the storage case. To solve this problem, products that combine a storage case and a stand have been developed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3234105 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The tablet PC case described in Patent Document 1 is composed of the back of the protective case, the cover of the protective case, and multiple slots formed in the protective cover, resulting in a geometrically complex structure, which results in higher manufacturing costs and may increase the frequency of malfunctions due to the complex structure.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a tablet terminal case (hereinafter referred to as "terminal case") with multiple stand functions that can be transformed into two different forms with a simpler structure. That is, the configuration of the present invention is as follows. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The terminal case according to claim 1 is composed of a case body and one plate-like body, The case body has a storage opening at one end for inserting and removing the tablet terminal, and the plate-like body is formed on one outer surface. The plate-like body has a mechanism that enables it to stand up and fall down, When the case is used to store a tablet terminal, the plate-like body is laid down, and when the plate-like body is raised, a stand is formed on which the tablet terminal can be propped up.

[0008] In the terminal case according to claim 2, the plate-like body is disposed on the one outer surface on the side of the storage opening, the plate-like body is generally rectangular when viewed from the front, both ends in a lateral width direction are fixed to the case body, a first bent portion to a third bent portion are formed so that a first face body to a fourth face body are connected in a vertical width direction, and an adhesive portion is provided on the third face body and the fourth face body, The plate-like body is characterized in that the second bent portion is bent and folded down into two layers, and then all of the bent portions are bent so as to form an approximately triangular shape when viewed from the side, so that the first and second faces are erected and the fourth face is superimposed under the third face to form two layers, thereby forming a stand on which a tablet terminal can be propped up.

[0009] The terminal case described in claim 3 is composed of a case body and two plate-shaped bodies (a first plate-shaped body and a second plate-shaped body) having different structures and functions, The case body has a storage opening at one end for inserting and removing the tablet terminal, and the two plate-like bodies are formed on the same outer surface of the case body; The first plate-like body has a mechanism that enables it to stand up and fall down, When the case is used to store a tablet terminal, the first plate-like body is laid down and raised to form a stand on which the tablet terminal can be propped up; The second plate-like body functions as a stopper for the stand when the tablet terminal is placed against the stand.

[0010] In the terminal case according to claim 4, the first plate-like body is disposed on the outer surface on the side of the storage opening, The second plate-like body is formed on the bottom side of the outer surface, the first plate-like body is generally rectangular when viewed from the front, both ends in a horizontal width direction are fixed to the case body, and a first bent portion to a third bent portion are formed so that a first face body to a fourth face body are connected in a vertical width direction, and an adhesive portion is provided on the third face body and the fourth face body, The second plate-like body has a generally rectangular shape when viewed from the front, the first plate-like body is bent at all of its bent portions so as to form a substantially triangular shape in a side view from a state in which the second bent portion is bent and the first plate-like body is laid down in two layers, and the first facet and the second facet are erected, and the fourth facet is superimposed on the bottom of the third facet to form two layers, thereby forming a stand on which a tablet terminal can be propped up; When the tablet terminal is placed against the stand, the lower end of the tablet terminal abuts against the second plate-like body.

[0011] The terminal case according to claim 5 is composed of a case body and three plate-shaped bodies (first plate-shaped body to third plate-shaped body) having different structures and functions, The case body has a storage opening at one end for inserting and removing the tablet device, and a folding groove near the center for folding the case body in two. A first plate-like body and a second plate-like body are formed on one surface of the outer surface of the case body, and a third plate-like body is formed on the other surface, The first plate-like body has a mechanism that enables it to stand up and fall down, When the case is used to store a tablet terminal, the first plate-like body is laid down and the first plate-like body is raised to form a stand of a first form on which the tablet terminal can be propped up; When the first form of stand is formed, the case body is folded inward along the fold groove so that the second plate-like body is abutted against the first form of stand and the third plate-like body functions as a stopper for the tablet terminal, thereby forming a second form of stand having a shape different from that of the first form of stand.

[0012] In the terminal case according to claim 6, the first plate-like body is disposed on the one surface on the side of the storage opening, The second plate-like body is formed on the bottom side of the one surface, The third plate-like body is connected to the other surface so as to protrude from the storage opening in the vertical width direction, the first plate-like body is generally rectangular when viewed from the front, both ends in a horizontal width direction are fixed to the case body, and a first bent portion to a third bent portion are formed so that a first face body to a fourth face body are connected in a vertical width direction, and adhesive portions are provided on the first face body, the third face body, and the fourth face body, The second plate-like body is generally rectangular when viewed from the front, has an adhesive portion, and has a bottom end portion in a width direction fixed to the case body and movable about the fixing portion; The third plate-like body is generally rectangular when viewed from the front, has one or more locking portions formed thereon, and is formed so as to be bent around a connecting portion with the storage opening as an axis; the first plate-like body is bent at all of its bent portions so as to form a substantially triangular shape in a side view from a state in which the second bent portion is bent and laid down in two layers, so that the first facet and the second facet are erected and the fourth facet is superimposed under the third facet to form two layers, thereby forming a first type of stand on which a tablet terminal can be propped up; When the first type of stand is formed, the case body is bent inward along the folding groove, whereby the second plate-like body moves around the fixing portion as an axis and is attached to the first type of stand, and the third plate-like body is bent around the connecting portion as an axis, whereby a second type of stand is formed which is higher than the first type of stand and has a steeper slope and is approximately triangular in side view. Effect of the Invention

[0013] When carrying a tablet device, there is no need to carry a stand for the tablet device separately from the tablet device, so the luggage is not bulky and the case is easy to carry. In addition, there is no need to separate the stand from the case and put it in a backpack or bag, so there is no need to worry about the tablet device being damaged by the impact of the two items. In addition, the case has a simple structure that allows it to function as a stand that can be transformed into two forms, high and low. As a result, multiple uses are possible, such as propping the tablet device up vertically or horizontally, or at a large or small angle, depending on the purpose of the tablet device. In addition, the simple structure makes maintenance easy and keeps costs low. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0015] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a terminal case according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The terminal case 1 has first to third embodiments, and in the first embodiment, only the first plate-like body 20 is formed on the case body 10, in the second embodiment, the first plate-like body 20 and the second plate-like body 30 are formed on the case body 10, and in the third embodiment, the first plate-like body 20 to the third plate-like body 40 and the folding groove 14 are formed on the case body 10, but the drawings show the third embodiment, which has the largest number of components. Therefore, the description of the first and second embodiments described below with reference to the drawings will also be described with reference to the drawings showing the third embodiment, and in this case, the description of the first embodiment will not mention the first adhesive portion 24a, the second plate-like body 30, the third plate-like body 40, and the folding groove 14, which are unnecessary components for the first embodiment among the components shown in the drawings, and similarly, the description of the second embodiment will not mention the first adhesive portion 24a, the adhesive portion 32 of the second plate-like body, the third plate-like body 40, and the folding groove 14, which are unnecessary components for the second embodiment.

[0016] First Embodiment The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3 to 5, 7, and 9 to 11. 1 and 3, the terminal case 1 of the first embodiment includes a case body 10 having a storage opening 11 formed at one end for inserting and removing a tablet terminal T, and a first plate-like body 20 having a generally rectangular shape in front view formed on one surface 12 of the case body 10. As shown in Fig. 1, the first plate-like body 20 is formed above (in the Y1 direction) the center of the case body 10 in front view, that is, closer to the storage opening 11. The material of the case body 10 and the first plate-like body 20 may be synthetic leather, genuine leather, polyurethane, polyester, nylon, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 5, when the first plate-like body 20 is unfolded, the first plate-like body 10 has a shape in which two substantially rectangular plate-like bodies, one large and one small, are connected together when viewed from the front. 1 and 5, both end portions 21 in the width direction (X direction) of the first plate-like body are fixed to the case body 10. Any fixing method may be used as long as the first plate-like body 20 is firmly fixed to the case body 10, and the fixing method is not specified.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 3 to Fig. 5, the first plate-like body 20 is configured such that the first surface 22a to the fourth surface 22d are connected in the vertical width direction (Y direction) via the first bent portion 23a to the third bent portion 23c. That is, the first surface 22a and the second surface 22b are connected via the first bent portion 23a, the second surface 22b and the third surface 22c are connected via the second bent portion 23b, and the third surface 22c and the fourth surface 22d are connected via the third bent portion 23c. A core material 25, the material of which is not specified but which has a hardness sufficient to maintain the shape, is built into each surface, and no core material is inserted in each bent portion so that the bent portion can be bent.

[0019] 5, a second adhesive portion 24b is formed on the third surface 22c, and a third adhesive portion 24c is formed on the fourth surface 22d. The material constituting each of the adhesive portions 24b, 24c may be a magnet, a hook-and-loop fastener, a removable sheet, a hook, or the like, but is not limited to these as long as it can firmly attach the third surface 22c and the fourth surface 22d and can be detached.

[0020] 5 shows the state in which the components of the adhesive parts 24b, 24c are formed on the surfaces of the adhesive parts 24b, 24c, but in the case of a component such as a magnet whose adhesive function is not impaired even if an outer skin is present, it may be formed on the surface of the adhesive part or embedded in the facepiece. When embedded in the facepiece, the magnet becomes a component of the facepiece in place of the core material 25 or together with the core material 25.

[0021] As shown in Figures 3 and 9, when a tablet terminal T is stored in the case body 10, the first plate-like body 20 is bent so that the second bent portion 23b is convex toward the upper extension line of the storage opening in the vertical width direction (Y1 direction), and the third surface 22c and the fourth surface 22d are positioned below the first surface 22a and the second surface 22b (Z2 direction), and the first plate-like body 20 is laid down in two layers.

[0022] On the other hand, in order to raise the first plate-like body 20 from a fallen state, as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 7, the first bent portion 23a is bent upward (Z1 direction) by lifting the first plate-like body 22a and the second plate-like body 22b, so that the first bent portion 23a is bent upward (Z1 direction) to raise the first plate-like body 22a and the second plate-like body 22b, and the third plate-like body 22c is also lifted upward (Z1 direction) in conjunction with the first plate-like body 22a. Then, the second bent portion 23b is bent downward (Z2 direction) and the third bent portion 23c is bent to bent in the vertical width direction (Y1 direction), so that the fourth plate-like body 22d is disposed below the third plate-like body 22c (Z2 direction) to form two layers. In this case, the third plate-like body 22c and the fourth plate-like body 22d are firmly superimposed by the second adhesive portion 24b and the third adhesive portion 24c. Through these operations, the first plate-like body 20 forms a stand in a generally triangular shape in side view, with the case body 10 as its base and the first face 22a and the second face 22b as its side edges. This stand becomes the first form stand in the third embodiment.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 10, the tablet terminal T can be used in a landscape orientation and leaned against the stand, and as shown in Fig. 11, the tablet terminal T can also be used in a portrait orientation and leaned against the stand. The tablet terminal can be used in different orientations depending on the purpose for which it is used or the environment such as the work space. Although a second plate-like body 30, which will be described later, is shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the first embodiment does not include the second plate-like body.

[0024] <Second embodiment> The second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3 to 6, 10, and 11. FIG. 1 and 3, the terminal case 1 of the second embodiment is obtained by adding a second plate-like body 30 to the configuration of the first embodiment. That is, the terminal case 1 of the second embodiment is obtained by forming the first plate-like body 20 and the second plate-like body 30 having a generally rectangular shape in front view on one surface 12 of the case main body 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the second plate-like body 30 is formed below the center of the case main body 10 in the front view (Y2 direction), that is, toward the bottom 15 of the case main body 10.

[0025] The material of the second plate-like body 30 may be the same as that of the first plate-like body 20, and is not specified. 1 and 3 to 6, the second plate-like body 30 is fixed to the case body 10. The fixing method is not limited and may be any method that can firmly fix the second plate-like body 30 to the case body 10. It should be noted that the illustrated end portion (or fixing portion) 31 and adhesive portion 32 are components required in a third embodiment described later, and therefore will not be mentioned in the second embodiment.

[0026] 3 and 4, the second plate-like body 30 has a core material 33 built in, the material being not specified but hard enough not to deform even when the tablet terminal T comes into contact with it, so that the second plate-like body 30 can function as a stopper for the tablet terminal T when the tablet terminal T is leaned against the stand of the first embodiment. Although the figures show a state in which the core material 33 is built into a part of the second plate-like body 30, it may be built into the entire body.

[0027] When the tablet terminal T is used in a landscape orientation and leaned against a stand as shown in Fig. 10, the lower end of the inclined tablet terminal T abuts against the upper end of the second plate-like body 30, and the tablet terminal T can be maintained in an inclined state without sliding down. On the other hand, when the tablet terminal T is used in a portrait orientation and leaned against a stand as shown in Fig. 11, the inclination angle of the tablet terminal T becomes small, so that the inclined state of the tablet terminal T can be maintained without abutting against the second plate-like body 30, which has an effect as a stopper. Although not shown in the figure, even when the tablet terminal T is used in a portrait orientation and leaned against a stand, the lower end of the tablet terminal T may be abutted against the upper end of the second plate-like body 30.

[0028] <Third embodiment> The third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, 6, 8, 12, and 13. 2 to 4, the terminal case 1 of the third embodiment is obtained by adding a third plate-like body 40 to the configuration of the second embodiment, but further has a folding groove 14 formed in the case body 10, and the structures of the first plate-like body 20 and the second plate-like body 30 are partially different. This will be described in detail below.

[0029] 2 to 4, the terminal case 1 of the third embodiment includes a case body 10, a first plate-like body 20 and a second plate-like body 30 formed on one surface 12 thereof, and a third plate-like body 40 formed on the other surface 13. Also, a folding groove 14 is formed on the other surface 13 of the case body 10 so that the case body 10 can be folded.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, one bent groove 14 is formed in the approximate center of case body 10 in the width direction (X direction) with a predetermined groove width and depth. It is preferable that the groove width and depth of the folding groove 14 are formed so that the case body 10 can be easily folded and restored to its original flat shape, and so that fatigue failure does not easily occur even when repeated stress is generated due to bending and unbending multiple times.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the positions at which the first plate-like body 20 and the second plate-like body 30 are formed are the same as those in the first and second embodiments. The third plate-like body 40 is located on the other surface 13 side of the case main body 10, has a generally rectangular shape when viewed from behind, and is connected in a manner that protrudes in the vertical width direction (Y1 direction) from the storage opening 11. In Fig. 2 and other figures, the third plate-like body 40 has curved sides when viewed from behind, but it may be straight and generally rectangular when viewed from behind, and is not limited to a specific shape as long as it has a shape that can function as a stopper when the tablet terminal T is leaned against a stand of a second form described below.

[0032] The material of the third plate-like body 40 may be the same as that of the first plate-like body 20 and / or the second plate-like body 30, and is not specified. The third plate-like body 40 is provided with locking portions 42, 43 against which the lower end of the tablet terminal T abuts, in order to function as a stopper when the tablet terminal T is leaned against a stand of a second form described below. A core material 44 is built into the locking portions 42, 43 to such an extent that the locking portions 42, 43 are not easily deformed even when the lower end of the tablet terminal T abuts against the locking portions 42, 43. However, the core material 44 does not have to be provided, and in that case, the locking portions 42, 43 may be integrally formed from a material having the same properties as the outer skin covering the outside of the case body 10.

[0033] 2 to 4, two locking portions are formed, a first locking portion 42 and a second locking portion 43. This is because the position at which the end of the tablet terminal T comes into contact varies depending on the inclination angle of the tablet terminal T when it is leaned against the stand, and details will be described later. Although the figure shows a state in which two locking portions 42, 43 are formed, the number of locking portions may be one, or three or more.

[0034] 2 to 4, the third plate-like body 40 is connected in a manner that protrudes in the vertical width direction (Y1 direction) from the storage opening 11. A connection portion 41 between the third plate-like body 40 and the storage opening 11 is configured to be movable around the connection portion 41 as a movable axis so that the third plate-like body 40 comes into close contact with the installation surface and functions as a stopper when the stand in the second form is formed as shown in Fig. 8 (6).

[0035] 6, a first adhesive portion 24a that does not exist in the first and second embodiments is formed on a first face 22a constituting a first plate-like body 20 in the third embodiment. Also, a adhesive portion 32 that does not exist in the first and second embodiments is formed on a second plate-like body 30. The materials constituting the first adhesive portion 24a and the adhesive portion 32 may be magnets, hook-and-loop fasteners, removable sheets, hooks, etc., but are not limited to these as long as they firmly fix the first surface 22a and the second plate-like body 30 when the second type of stand described below is formed and are also removable.

[0036] 6 shows the state in which the components of the adhesive parts 24a, 32 are formed on the surfaces of the adhesive parts 24a, 32, but in the case of a component such as a magnet whose adhesive function is not impaired even if an outer skin is present, the component may be formed on the surface of the adhesive part or embedded. When embedded, the magnet becomes a component of the first face body 22a to the second plate-like body 30 in place of the core material 25, 33 or together with the core material 25, 33.

[0037] The method of forming the stand in the third embodiment (hereinafter referred to as the "second form stand") is to fold the case body 10 inward (Y direction) from the folding groove 14 in a state where the first form stand is formed, as shown in FIG. 8(4). When the case body 10 is further bent as shown in FIG. 8(5), the second plate-like body 30 moves the adhesive portion 32 with the fixing portion 31 as an axis, and the adhesive portion 32 is abutted against the first adhesive portion 24a provided on the first face 22a of the first plate-like body 20. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8(6), the case body 10 is turned upside down, and the third plate-like body 40 is bent outward (Y1 direction) from the connecting portion 41. This forms the second form stand, which is approximately triangular in side view, with the installation surface as the base and the case body 10 folded in half as the side.

[0038] The stand in the second form maintains a substantially triangular shape by abutting the first face 22a of the first plate-like body 20 and the second plate-like body 30. In addition, by bending the third plate-like body 40 outward, it functions as a stopper (anti-slip) when the tablet terminal T is leaned against the stand in the second form.

[0039] The stand of the second form can be used with one tablet terminal T leaned horizontally as shown in Fig. 12, or can be used with one tablet terminal T leaned vertically as shown in Fig. 13. It can be used in different ways depending on the purpose for which the tablet terminal T is used or the environment such as the work space.

[0040] 12 and 13, when the tablet terminal T is used leaned against the stand of the second form, the tilted lower end of the tablet terminal T abuts against the first locking portion 42 or the second locking portion 43 of the third plate-like body 40, which functions as a stopper, so that the tablet terminal T can be maintained in an inclined state without sliding down. When the tablet terminal T is used with a large inclination angle, the lower end of the tablet terminal T abuts against the first locking portion 42, whereas when the tablet terminal T is used with a small inclination angle, the lower end of the tablet terminal T abuts against the second locking portion 43.

[0041] Although the items for which the first and second types of stands are used are primarily tablet devices, they may also be used for other items, such as electronic devices other than tablet devices or books, as long as the convenience of the items is improved by leaning them against these stands. [Industrial Applicability]

[0042] As described above, the invention of the present application is suitable for providing a tablet device case that can store a tablet device and has a multiple stand function that can be transformed into two different stands, one large and one small, to prop up the tablet device.
