AI Technical Summary
Existing storage tools for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets are inefficient in preventing unintended operation and ensuring protection against movement or falling damage, due to difficulties in determining the right amount and placement of cushioning material.
Attaching corner pieces with adhesive to the base plate in opposing corners of the mobile terminal, which are easy to put on and take off, and prevent the device from moving or falling off during transport.
This solution effectively prevents unintended operation and ensures the mobile device is securely held during storage and transport, making it easier to manage the size of the device and reducing the risk of damage.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have switches on their ends that have a small ON / OFF stroke, so they can be accidentally pressed to turn on the power or start communicating, resulting in unintentional operation that can drain the battery. There is also a risk of damage if the device is moved or dropped, so there is a demand for simple storage tools that are suitable for storage and transportation. [Background technology]
[0002] By storing and transporting mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets in boxes or bags and filling any gaps with cushioning material, unintended operation can be prevented and scratches and damage caused by the device being moved or dropped can be prevented.
[0003] In conventional storage tools, where mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are stored or transported by placing them in a box or bag and filling any gaps with cushioning material, it is extremely difficult to determine how much cushioning material to insert and where to insert it, and it is difficult to prevent unintended operation and to reliably prevent damage caused by the device moving or falling off.
[0004] By attaching corner pieces with adhesive applied to the surfaces that come into contact with the base plate to the opposing corners of the mobile device and then mounting and pressing the corner pieces on the base plate, the corner pieces are adhered to and held in place on the base plate, making it less subject to restrictions due to the size of the mobile device, easier to attach and detach, and preventing the mobile device from moving or falling off during transportation.
[0005] Since the portable terminal is roughly rectangular, the extremely simple operation of attaching corner pieces to at least a pair of opposing corners, mounting it on a base plate and pressing it makes it easy to attach and detach, is less likely to be restricted by the size of the portable terminal, and reliably prevents the portable terminal from moving or falling off during storage or transportation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0006] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a mobile plate based on the present invention. 1 is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet, 2 is a base plate on which the mobile terminal is mounted, 3 is a corner piece for preventing the mobile terminal from moving or falling off, and at least a pair of opposing corner pieces are combined to restrict the mobile terminal from moving up and down and left and right, 4 is an adhesive such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a double-sided adhesive tape attached to the corner piece, and 5 is an outer casing. When mounting the mobile terminal 1 on the base plate, as shown in FIG. 3, the corner piece is fitted into the opposing corners 6, 7 of the mobile terminal 1 so that the adhesive surface 4 of the corner piece 3 is in contact with the adhesive surface of the base plate 2, and the mobile terminal 1 is pressed against the base plate 2 to mount it. The adhesive surface of the corner piece is fixed by adhering it to the adhesive surface of the base plate, so that the mobile terminal 1 is prevented from moving on the base plate or falling off. When a hook-and-loop fastener is used on the adhesive surface of the corner piece, a hook-and-loop fastener is also added to the adhesive surface of the base plate, and when a double-sided adhesive tape is used on the adhesive surface of the corner piece, no special adhesive is required on the adhesive surface of the base plate. However, when a double-sided adhesive tape is used, the corner piece is treated as a disposable item. Furthermore, by configuring the end of the outer casing 5 to be raised or by providing an opening and closing lid on the outer casing, it is possible to prevent unintentional start of operation, such as accidentally pressing a switch to turn on the power or start communication. EXAMPLES
[0007] The outer case is sized D×W×H=210×148×25mm, the corner pieces D×W×H=50×50×23mm, and 2.5mm thick, to fit a typical smartphone on the market. The outer case and base plate are made of ABS resin, and the corner pieces are made of transparent acrylic resin so that the display on the LCD screen of the mobile device can be seen. Hook and loop fasteners are used as adhesive, assuming repeated use, and the hook and loop fastener convex parts are attached to the entire adhesive surface of the base plate, while the hook and loop fastener concave parts are attached to the surface of the corner pieces that come into contact with the adhesive surface of the base plate, with each part attached to the other in a mutually adhesive combination. The outer case 5 is raised to a height of 25mm to prevent unintentional operation, such as accidentally pressing a switch to turn on the power or start communication. The outer casing, base plate, corner pieces, etc. are not limited to being made of resin, but may be formed by heat welding resin plate materials such as polypropylene, and if they are disposable, they may be made of paper. Double-sided adhesive tape may be attached to the corner pieces as an adhesive, and there is no need to apply adhesive to the base plate. Furthermore, various modifications are possible within the scope of the spirit of this invention, such as attaching a lid to the outer casing or attaching corner pieces to three or all corners of the mobile terminal to improve the degree of fixation of the mobile terminal.

Claims
1. This mobile plate is a storage tool used when storing or transporting mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Corner pieces have adhesive applied to the surfaces that come into contact with the base plate and are attached to opposing corners of the mobile device. By mounting the mobile device on the base plate and pressing against it, the corner pieces are adhered and held to the base plate, making it less subject to restrictions due to the size of the mobile device, easy to attach and detach, and preventing the mobile device from moving or falling off during storage or transport.
2. 2. The mobile plate according to claim 1, wherein a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to each of the adhesive surfaces of the base plate and the corner pieces as the adhesive material.
3. 2. The mobile plate according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive material is a double-sided adhesive tape applied to the surface of the corner piece that comes into contact with the base plate.
