Description

Technical Field

[0001] This case relates to the field of storage shelves, and particularly to a support bracket that protects the case of a portable device, forms a plurality of upright states after folding or unfolding, and erects the portable device.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the progress of mobile communication technology, portable devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, or notebook computers have already become indispensable items in daily life. However, these portable devices are always used for watching movies, data searching, or social networking, etc., and when in use, they are carried out in the form of holding for viewing or control, thus causing various inconveniences.

[0003] Generally, a user can hold a portable device with one hand and control and use the portable device with the other hand. Especially for relatively large-sized portable devices such as tablet computers, such a usage method is quite inconvenient, and the user's both hands are also restricted. Therefore, when a user uses a portable device indoors, if the portable device is placed on the surface of a table, the user's both hands can be free to do other things. However, even in such a case, the portable device cannot easily check the display content of the screen just by being placed on the surface of the table, or is forced to control the screen at an inconvenient angle for operation, and there are still various inconveniences in terms of use and improvement is needed. In view of such a situation, based on the rich experience accumulated in this field over the years, the inventor designed a support structure for a foldable portable device to solve the drawbacks associated with the use of existing products.

[0004] The portable device protection and support bracket that can be coupled to a portable device by the coupling mechanism of the present case includes a first part and a second part. The fixing part provided on one side of the first part cannot move or fold when the portable device protection and support bracket is coupled to the portable device. The second part further includes a first main flexible part that connects to the first part, and is connected to the first part via the first main flexible part. The first part further includes a second main flexible part. The second main flexible part spans across the first part and is adjacent to the fixing part, so that a part of the first part and the second part can be folded with respect to the fixing part. The first part forms a sheet body having two surfaces. The first free end of the second part can be folded with respect to either surface of the two surfaces of the first part via the second main flexible part or the third main flexible part, and can hold the first part.

[0005] In some embodiments, the second part further includes a third main flexible part that is substantially parallel to the second main flexible part. The second part forms, for example, a gap. The gap forms the first main flexible part and the second main flexible part in a discontinuous separated state by spanning across the first main flexible part and the second main flexible part, and forms a second free end and a third free end.

[0006] In some embodiments, the second part further includes a first subordinate flexible part and a second subordinate flexible part. The first subordinate flexible part and the second subordinate flexible part are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the gap. The second free end and the third free end can be folded back with respect to either surface of the first part via the first subordinate flexible part and the second subordinate flexible part. The first subordinate flexible part and the second subordinate flexible part span across the first main flexible part and the third main flexible part.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first free end can be folded with respect to either surface of the two surfaces of the first part via the second main flexible part or the third main flexible part, and holds the second main flexible part.

[0008] In some embodiments, after the mobile device protection and support bracket is coupled to the mobile device, one side of the mobile device can be borne by the first main flexible portion and the folded-back second main flexible portion in the second portion, or after the mobile device protection and support bracket is coupled to the mobile device, one side of the mobile device can have the second main flexible portion folded back onto either one of the two sides of the first portion.

[0009] In some embodiments, it further includes an end portion between the third main flexible portion and the first free end, and the second free end and a part of the third free end are folded back and attached to the end portion via the first subordinate flexible portion and the second subordinate flexible portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, the coupling mechanism forms a bottom plate, and the fixing portion is coupled to a part of the bottom plate, so that the first portion and the second portion can be folded back with respect to the bottom plate via the first main flexible portion, the second main flexible portion or the third main flexible portion. Since the bottom plate has magnetism, a part of the bottom plate can be coupled to the fixing portion or the mobile device. The fixing portion is fixedly provided with a part of the bottom plate, so that the first portion and the second portion can be folded back with respect to the bottom plate via the second main flexible portion.

[0011] In some embodiments, the coupling mechanism forms an engaging back cover and has substantially the same size as the mobile device, can engage with one side of the mobile device, and by coupling the fixing portion to a part of the engaging back cover, the first portion and the second portion can be folded back with respect to the engaging back cover via the first main flexible portion, the second main flexible portion or the third main flexible portion. Since the engaging back cover has magnetism, a part of the engaging back cover can be coupled to the fixing portion or the mobile device.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first free end is borne between the first main flexible portion or the third main flexible portion and the bottom plate and the first portion, or between the engaging back cover and the first portion, or after the mobile device protection and support bracket is coupled to the mobile device, the bottom plate or the engaging back cover or the first portion is simultaneously attached to both sides of the mobile device with the second portion respectively.

Example

[0015] The non-permanent fixing means described in the present case refers to fixing, connecting, joining or connecting two objects to each other by means such as magnetism, Velcro (registered trademark), a detachable engaging mechanism or repeated adhesion, and releasing the fixing, connecting, joining or connecting of the two objects to each other at any time. The permanent fixing means described in the present case refers to fixing, connecting, joining or connecting two objects to each other by means such as non-repeated adhesion, sewing or riveting.

[0016] The connection described in this case refers to fixing, connecting, joining, or combining two objects with each other by the above-mentioned non-permanent fixing means or permanent fixing means. The magnetism described in this case refers to permanent magnetism, non-permanent magnetism, or magnetic properties.

[0017] In this case, terms such as "first", "second", "third", etc. are used for each element, component, region, or part, provided that these elements, components, regions, and / or parts are not limited to these terms. These terms may be used when one element, component, region, or part is distinguished from another element, component, region, layer, or part. Therefore, "first..." described below may, for example, be "second..." or "third..." without departing from the meaning of the text.

[0018] The flexible part described in this case refers to a structure in which at least two sheet body structures are connected and the sheet bodies can be refracted with respect to each other.

[0019] Refer to FIGS. 1 to 3. The mobile device protection and support bracket of the present invention can be coupled to a mobile device by a coupling structure. The mobile device protection and support bracket of the present invention is mainly composed of a sheet body, and by providing a plurality of flexible portions, the sheet body can be bent by the flexible portions. The present invention includes a first portion 100 and a second portion 200. The first portion 100 and the second portion 200 form a sheet body and include two surfaces. The first portion 100 includes a fixing portion 101, and the fixing portion 101 is provided on one side of the first portion 100. The fixing portion 101 is engaged, connected, connected, or joined (hereinafter collectively referred to as "coupled") to the mobile device directly or indirectly by permanent fixing means or non-permanent fixing means. The term "directly" in this paragraph means directly coupling the fixing portion 101 to one surface of the mobile device using permanent fixing means or non-permanent fixing means, while the term "indirectly" means that the fixing portion 101 is coupled to the mobile device through another medium (such as a bottom plate 50 or a back case of a mobile phone). However, when coupling directly or indirectly to the mobile device, when coupling the mobile device protection and support bracket to the mobile device, the fixing portion 101 cannot move or fold with respect to the mobile device. The fixing portion 101 serves as a fulcrum for folding the other part of the first portion 100 and the folded part of the second portion 200. The present invention is provided with a first main flexible portion 10 between the first portion 100 and the second portion 200. The second portion 200 is connected to the first portion 100 via the first main flexible portion 10. The first portion 100 further includes a second main flexible portion 20, and the second main flexible portion 20 spans across the first portion 100 and is adjacent to the fixing portion 101, so that a part of the first portion 100 and the second portion 200 can be folded with respect to the fixing portion 101 (FIG. 3).

[0020] Continuing, refer to FIGS. 4, 5, and 6. Due to the bending of the first main flexible portion 10 of the mobile device protection and support bracket of the present invention, one surface of the first portion 100 and the second portion 200 is respectively attached to both surfaces of the mobile device, forming a protective effect on the outside of the mobile device. Continuing, refer to FIGS. 1 to 3. In some embodiments, the second portion 200 further includes a third main flexible portion 30 that is substantially parallel to the second main flexible portion 20. The first free end 201 of the second portion 200 is folded with respect to either surface of both sides of the first portion 100 via the second main flexible portion 20 or the third main flexible portion 30, holds the first portion 100, and forms a folded state shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 10 to support and couple the portable device.

[0021] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the first free end 201 is folded back to one of the two surfaces of the first portion 100 via the second main flexible portion 30 or the third main flexible portion 30, and is held by the second main flexible portion 20 to form the support state shown in FIG. 7. Continuing, refer to FIGS. 8 and 9. In another variant embodiment, by the bending of the second main flexible portion 20 and the third main flexible portion 30, it is bonded to the fixing portion 101 and a part of the second portion 200 to form another support form. In other words, when this folding means is applied, after the portable device protection and support bracket is coupled to the portable device, one surface of the portable device can be folded back to either one surface of the first portion 100 via the second main flexible portion 20. FIGS. 8 and 9 show the same folding means, but are attached to the plane at different angles to form various support angles.

[0022] Continuing to refer to FIG. 10, another embodiment of the present invention is shown. After the portable device protection and support bracket is coupled to the portable device, one side of the portable device can be held by the second portion 200 by the folding of the first main flexible portion 10 and the second main flexible portion 20. In this embodiment, a non-slip member is provided on the upper surface of the second portion 200 so that when one side of the portable device abuts against the second portion 200, it will not fall due to slipping.

[0023] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 1-3, 11, and 12. In some embodiments, the present invention may include, for example, a gap 40. By the gap 40 spanning the first main flexible portion 10 and the second main flexible portion 20, the first main flexible portion 10 and the second main flexible portion 20 form a discontinuous separated state, forming a second free end 202 and a third free end 203. The present invention further includes a first subordinate flexible portion 104 and a second subordinate flexible portion 105, and the first subordinate flexible portion 104 and the second subordinate flexible portion 105 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first subordinate flexible portion and the second subordinate flexible portion with respect to the gap 105. In some embodiments, the first subordinate flexible portion 104 and the second subordinate flexible portion 105 span the first main flexible portion 10 and the third main flexible portion 30. The second free end 202 and the third free end 203 can be folded back onto one side of the first portion 100 via the first subordinate flexible portion 104 and the second subordinate flexible portion 105 (FIGS. 11 and 12).

[0024] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 11 and 12. The present invention further includes, for example, an end portion 70 between the third main flexible portion 30 and the first free end 201, and a part of the second free end 202 and the third free end 203 is folded back and adhered to the end portion 70 via the first subordinate flexible portion 104 and the second subordinate flexible 105 portion. As described above, since the second free end 202 and the third free end 203 can be folded back onto one side of the first portion 100 via the first subordinate flexible portion 104 and the second subordinate flexible portion 105, a part of the second free end 202 and the third free end 203 has a folding-back and adhering means toward two end portions 70 as shown in FIGS. 13, 14, 15, and 16. It should be particularly noted that among the folding-back means toward the two end portions 70 described above, the user can obtain various viewing angles for the portable device by adjusting the refraction of the second main flexible portion 20. The differences between FIGS. 13, 14, 15, and 16 are that, in addition to the second free end 202 and the third free end 203 folding back in different directions, in FIGS. 15 and 16, the fixing portion 101 can be joined to a part of the first portion 100.

[0025] As described above, the present invention can be coupled to the mobile device by a coupling mechanism. For example, in some embodiments, such a coupling mechanism can fix the fixing portion 101 to a part of the mobile device using, for example, an adhesive. Thereby, the present invention and the mobile device are coupled. In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 18 - 22, the coupling mechanism is such that the fixing portion 101 is coupled to a part of the bottom plate 50, so that the first portion 100 and the second portion 200 can be folded back with respect to the bottom plate 50 via the first main flexible portion 10 and the second main flexible portion 20 or the third main flexible portion 30. Since the bottom plate 50 forms a sheet body and has magnetism, a part of the bottom plate 50 can be coupled to the fixing portion 101 or the mobile device (FIG. 19). Further, the mobile device is provided with magnetism, whereby the present invention can be coupled to the mobile device via the bottom plate 50. Referring to FIGS. 22 and 23, the bottom plate 50 can be coupled to any corner of the present invention and the first portion 100. Thereby, the user can browse the mobile device in either a horizontal or vertical manner.

[0026] In another embodiment, the fixing portion 101 is fixedly installed with a part of the bottom plate 50 in a permanent fixing manner, so that the first portion 100 and the second portion 200 can be folded back with respect to the bottom plate 50 via the second main flexible portion 20.

[0027] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 24 and 25, the coupling mechanism forms an engaging back cover 60 and has substantially the same size as the mobile device. It can engage with one surface of the mobile device. By coupling the fixing portion 101 to a part of the engaging back cover 60, the first portion 100 and the second portion 200 can be folded back with respect to the engaging back cover 60 via the first main flexible portion 10 and the second main flexible portion 20 or the third main flexible portion 30. Since the engaging back cover 60 has magnetism, a part of the engaging back cover 60 can be coupled to the fixing portion 101 or the mobile device.

[0028] After this case is combined with the mobile device by the coupling mechanism of the bottom plate 50 or the engaging back cover 60, as shown in FIG. 7, the first free end 201 can be borne between the bottom plate 50 and the first portion 100 or between the engaging back cover 60 and the first portion 100 via the first main flexible portion 10 or the third main flexible portion 30. The bottom plate 50, the engaging back cover 10 or the first portion 100 can be simultaneously bonded to both sides of the mobile device with the second portion 200 respectively.

[0029] The user can easily and conveniently use the mobile device protection and support bracket of this case, and the mobile device can be arranged at the angle and direction required when the user watches and operates, greatly improving the convenience of the user's life. Further speaking, this case can be folded and stored when not in use, which is convenient for use, storage and carrying.

[0030] What has been described above is only a preferred embodiment of this case and does not impose limitations on the implementation scope of this case. Those skilled in the art shall include any equivalent changes and modifications that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of this case in the utility model claims of this case.
