Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a support frame, and more particularly to a support frame that is easy to fold, has high support strength, and has a small storage space.

Background Art

[0002] When using a mobile phone and a tablet terminal, one holds them by hand to view data or watch videos. However, if one holds them with hands for a long time, the hands will ache and cause discomfort. Therefore, in the industry, various support frames for supporting mobile phones and tablet terminals have been researched and developed to free the user's both hands.

[0003] In conventional patent documents, for example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a deployable support frame that forms a support frame for supporting a mobile phone by deploying a sheet-like multilayer structure. However, the support height is insufficient, and the user has to look down, which is likely to cause neck pain after long-term use. Also, in conventional patent documents, for example, Patent Document 2 below discloses a mobile device support frame. Although it can support a mobile device to a high position, in terms of deployment and accommodation operations, many members have to be manually operated, and it cannot be fully deployed or accommodated, resulting in low usability.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims for utility model registration. Also, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential for the solution means of the invention.

[0011] The support frame according to the present invention has a base 1 having structural surfaces 11 and support surfaces 12 installed opposite to each other. In the structural surface 11, a receiving space 13 is recessed inward. A bracket mechanism 200 that can be accommodated in the receiving space 13 is pivotally installed on the structural surface 11, and the bracket mechanism 200 can change between a deployed state and a folded state (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

[0012] On one side of the structural surface 11 of the base 1, two pivot seats 14 are symmetrically installed. The bracket mechanism 200 includes a first bracket 2, a second bracket 3, a support member 4, and at least one position-limiting rod 5. The first bracket 2 is pivotally attached to the two pivot seats 14 respectively by two symmetrically installed first support legs 21 so as to correspond to the two pivot seats 14. The first bracket 2 swings relative to the base 1 with the two pivot seats 14 as the pivot points. The second bracket 3 is pivotally attached to one end spaced from the first support leg 21 of the first bracket 2 by two symmetrically installed second support legs 31 respectively. The second bracket 3 is pivotable relative to the first bracket 2. By installing the base 1, the first bracket 2, and the second bracket 3 in a structure where they are pivotally attached to each other, the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 can pivot relative to each other so as to be deployed or folded.

[0013] At the pivoting positions of the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3, a clamping tool 6 is connected. The clamping tool 6 includes two elastic sheets 61 that can be engaged with each other. The first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 are respectively provided with a first through slot 22 and a second through slot 32 at the pivoting positions. The two elastic sheets 61 are respectively assembled in the first through slot 22 and the second through slot 32. When the bracket mechanism 200 is deployed, the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 pivot in opposite directions to each other until the first through slot 22 and the second through slot 32 are installed facing each other. At this time, the two elastic sheets 61 are engaged with each other to position the second bracket 3. When folding the bracket mechanism 200, the two elastic sheets 61 are pressed to release the engagement, thereby releasing the positioning of the second bracket 3.

[0014] On both sides of the second bracket 3, position-limiting rods 5 are respectively pivotally attached, or the position-limiting rod 5 is pivotally attached to either one side. The other end of the position-limiting rod 5 is pivotally attached to one end adjacent to the side of the structural surface 11 of the pivot seat 14. When the bracket mechanism 200 is in the deployed state, the clamp 6 positions the second bracket 3 so as to be non-pivotable with respect to the first bracket 2, and the position-limiting rod 5 connects the deployed second bracket 3 and the pivot seat 14, thereby restricting the first bracket 2 from pivoting toward the structural surface 11 of the base 1. The present invention attaches so as to be fixed by the clamp 6 and restricts the pivoting of the position-limiting rod 5, thereby positioning the positions of the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 after deployment, simplifying the structure, and facilitating the operation.

[0015] The base 1 is provided with a through hole 15 that penetrates the structural surface 11 and the support surface 12. One end of the first bracket 2 that is pivotally attached to the structural surface 11 has a first arc edge 23, and one end of the second bracket 3 that is pivotally attached to the support member 4 of the second bracket 3 has a second arc edge 33. The support member is in a ring shape, the center of the support member overlaps with the arc center of the second arc edge 33, and the radius of the support member 4 is smaller than the arc radius of the second arc edge 33, and the support member 4 can pivot until it is located in the same horizontal plane as the second arc edge 33. The first bracket 2 has an adhesive surface 24 and a folding surface 25 that are oppositely installed, and a receiving groove 26 capable of accommodating the second bracket 3 is further provided on the folding surface 25. The second bracket 3 is provided with a self-attracting magnet 34 on the side surface that can be adhered to the folding surface 25, and the first bracket 2 is provided with a magnetic hole 27 for inserting the self-attracting magnet 34 correspondingly. When the bracket mechanism 200 is in a folded state, the adhesive surface 24 of the first bracket 2 and the structural surface 11 of the base 1 are adhered to each other, the second bracket 3 is accommodated in the receiving groove 26, the second arc edge 33 and the first arc edge 23 overlap with each other, and are adhered to the edge of the through hole 15. At this time, the support member 4 pivots until it is located in the same horizontal plane as the second arc edge 33, and the support member 4 is arranged in the through hole 15. When the self-attracting magnet 34 penetrates into the magnetic hole 27 and is magnetically attracted to the base 1, the second bracket 3 in the folded state is difficult to detach. The folded first bracket 2, second bracket 3, and support member 4 form a plate shape integrally with the base 1, and the accommodation space is saved.

[0016] A magnetic article that magnetically attracts the joining member 7 made of a metal material is installed on the support member 4. The magnetic article according to this embodiment is a magnet. The joining member 7 is connected to the supported object 8, and the supported object 8 can rotate around the support member 4.

[0017] In other possible implementations, the support member 4 is installed on the supported object 8, and the support member 4 is pivotally attached to the second bracket 3 removably. The user can selectively pivot the supported object 8 to the second bracket 3 as needed.

[0018] In actual use (see FIGS. 3 and 4), first, the bracket mechanism 200 in the folded state is separated from the base 1, the support member 4 is pulled upward to move, and the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 are driven to pivot relative to each other so as to be deployed in opposite directions. When the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 pivot until the first through slot 22 and the second through slot 32 are arranged to face each other, two elastic sheets 61 of the clamp 6 are engaged with each other to fix the relative position between the second bracket 3 and the first bracket 2, and the position-limiting rod 5 pulls the second bracket 3, restricting the pivoting angle of the first bracket 2 with respect to the base 1. At this time, the bracket mechanism 200 is fully deployed, and a hypotenuse triangle support structure is formed by the position-limiting rod 5, the first bracket 2, and the base 1, enhancing the firmness of the entire deployed structure. Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the joining member 7 is an iron plate attached to the object to be supported 8, and the object to be supported 8 is a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, or its protective case, etc. In this embodiment, the joining member 7 is attached to the back surface of the mobile phone protective case. The joining member 7 may be attached to the mobile phone (see FIG. 7). After the support surface 12 of the base 1 is disposed on the placement surface, the surface of the object to be supported 8 where the joining member 7 is attached is adsorbed to the support member 4, and the support member 4 is only pivoted and adjusted to an appropriate angle for viewing to be usable. The user rotates the object to be supported 8 to different angles for easy viewing and then adsorbs it to the support member 4, or adsorbs the object to be supported 8 to the support member 4 and then rotates the object to be supported 8.

[0019] After use, by simply pressing manually, the positioning engagement with respect to the second bracket 3 is released due to the position where the two elastic sheets 61 of the clamp 6 are engaged with each other. Due to the action of its own weight, the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 pivot so as to be folded in opposite directions to each other. The first bracket 2 is adhered to the structural surface 11 of the base 1, and the second bracket 3 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 26 of the first bracket 2. Also, the support member 4 pivots until it is located in the same horizontal plane as the second arc edge 33 of the second bracket 3 and is accommodated in the through hole 15 of the base 1. Finally, the entire folded support frame presents a plate-like shape, is adhered to the back surface of the object 8 to be supported, does not affect the aesthetics of the entire object 8 to be supported, and becomes compact and convenient for carrying.

[0020] As described above, the present invention is configured as described above, and thus has the effects described below. First, the structure is simple and easy to operate. The structure of the present invention mainly includes a base, a first bracket, a second bracket, and a support member. There are few components and the structure is simple. The first bracket, the second bracket, and the support member are installed so as to pivot relative to each other. The pivoting locations of the first bracket and the second bracket are controlled to position the second bracket by a clamp composed of two elastic sheets, and are assisted by a position-limiting rod to limit the pivoting angle of the first bracket, and are deployed as a support frame having a stable structure. When the clamp releases the positioning of the second bracket, it is folded into the accommodation space of the base. There is no need to operate a plurality of members during use, and the operation is simplified. Second, the volume is small and it is easy to accommodate. The support frame according to the present invention can be accommodated in the accommodation space of the base because the folded first bracket, second bracket, and support member adhere to each other and are stacked integrally. A plate-like shape is formed, the volume becomes small, and it is easy to accommodate. Thirdly, the application is flexible. The support member according to the present invention is a magnetic article such as a magnet, the joining member is a metal material that magnetically adheres to the magnetic article mutually, is rotatable with respect to the support member, and can rotate the supported object at different angles as needed.

[0021] As described above, the present embodiment has been described. However, the above-described embodiment only shows a part of the application examples of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to the specific configuration of the above-described embodiment.
