Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This is a device that allows you to charge your smartphone with your remaining hand when you are unable to use one hand due to injury or other reason. [Background technology]

[0002] A device has been devised that allows the user to connect a USB cable with one hand when charging a smartphone, but there was no device that could prevent the USB cable from falling out. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Application 2025-000103 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] We propose a device that allows users who are unable to use one hand due to injury to connect a USB cable with one hand when charging a smartphone and prevents the USB cable from falling out. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A smartphone charging aid consisting of a plate at least 1 cm thick with a rectangular space in the middle, placed inside a container or tube with a support on the side wall that has a clamp attached to the top through which a USB cable can pass, and containing a smartphone charging stand that allows the connection of USB connectors with one hand even when a smartphone is inserted into the space with the concave USB connector facing upwards without the smartphone falling over. Effect of the Invention

[0006] By using the device of this invention, if you are unable to use one hand due to injury, you can charge your smartphone with one hand. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a front view of one embodiment of the assistive device of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a plan view of one embodiment of the assistive device of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] The tube or container of the assistive device of the present invention can be made of synthetic resin, but the material is not limited to synthetic resin. The support rod attached to the tube or container can be a commercially available round pine rod, but the material is not limited to pine, and the shape is not limited to a round rod. The pin attached to the support rod can be a commercially available synthetic resin pin, but the material is not limited to synthetic resin. EXAMPLES

[0009] One example of an auxiliary device of the present invention was created by attaching a pine round bar 15 mm in diameter and 45 cm in length to the corner of a polypropylene container 18 cm wide, 14 cm deep, and 15 cm high, with polycarbonate pins attached to the ends of the bars, and then placing a smartphone charging stand inside the container, which was made by screwing together two L-shaped hexagonal pillar components made from burnt cedar and measuring 1.5 cm thick with six sides measuring 10.5 cm, 3.5 cm, 9.5 cm, 5.5 cm, 1.5 cm, and 9 cm in length. When viewed from above, the two components were screwed together to create a rectangular space in the center with two sides measuring 9.5 cm and 2 cm by 2 cm, and a rectangular prism with a depth of 3 cm. We confirmed that this operation can be performed with one hand by tilting the support tool to open the clamp, passing the USB cable through the gap in the clamp, then raising the support tool to expose the space of the charging stand at the top, inserting a smartphone wrapped in a cover with a strap upside down, exposing the concave part of the smartphone's USB connector, inserting it into the space, and inserting the convex part of the USB connector until a connection sound is heard, and that charging is completed without the cable falling out. [Industrial Applicability]

[0010] Although Japan's population is currently in decline, the number of single-person households aged 65 and over is on the rise. With this device, even if one hand is injured and cannot be used, the other hand can be used to charge a smartphone, so demand is expected to grow within the country.

Claims

[Claim 1] This smartphone charging aid is a smartphone charging stand that is a plate with a thickness of 1 cm or more and a rectangular space in the center, inside a container or tube with a support pole attached to the side wall and a clamp attached to the top through which a USB cable can pass, and which contains a smartphone charging stand that allows the connection of USB connectors with one hand without the smartphone falling over, even when a smartphone is inserted into the space with the USB connector recess facing upwards.
