Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hand grip, and more particularly to a hand grip for MagSafe that can be detachably attached to a mobile phone with a MagSafe function or a mobile phone case that includes a magnet. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a hand grip is a mobile phone accessory that is attached to a mobile phone or a mobile phone case, allowing the user to hold the hand grip in their hand and use the mobile phone safely without dropping it, and can also be used as a mobile phone stand when needed.

[0003] Magsafe is a technology developed by Apple for connecting power to MacBooks. It is a method that uses magnets to make it easy to attach and detach charging cables, and its distinctive feature is that it enhances the safety of the connection by using magnetic force.

[0004] MagSafe technology has been applied to mobile phones since Apple's iPhone 12 series, which allows for efficient wireless charging by precisely aligning the iPhone with a wireless charging pad via a magnet built into the back of the iPhone, and also allows for the attachment of various mobile phone accessories such as cases, card wallets, stands, and auxiliary batteries. Furthermore, for mobile phones without the MagSafe function, the MagSafe function can be used by attaching a MagSafe magnetic sticker to the phone or case, or by using a MagSafe case that includes a magnet.

[0005] As related prior art, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2024-0115509 (published on July 26, 2024) discloses a mobile phone extendable grip tock that includes a fixed part that is attached to a mobile phone or a mobile phone case, a bellows-shaped extendable grip part that is installed between the upper end of the fixed part and the lower end of the decorative part, and a decorative part that is installed at the upper end of the extendable grip part.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned conventional technology has a bellows shape that folds and unfolds with multiple folds, so the expandable grip part can easily fold and unfold at will, and the expandable grip part attached to the fixing part has a cone shape that narrows toward the bottom, making it difficult to support the weight of the mobile phone for a long period of time and reducing durability. Also, once fixed to a mobile phone or case, it is difficult to separate, and it is difficult to attach and detach it to a mobile phone or case with a MagSafe function using magnetic force.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] In describing the present invention, descriptions of functions or configurations that are already known will be omitted in order to clarify the gist of the present invention.

[0013] The rotating MagSafe hand grip 1 of this invention relates to a MagSafe hand grip that can be detachably attached to a mobile phone S with a MagSafe function or a mobile phone case C containing a magnet M, and comprises an attachment part 100, an air holder 200, and a grip plate 300.

[0014] The attachment part 100 includes a circular attachment plate 110, which closes the open space below the lower holder 210 of the air holder 200 connected to the upper part.

[0015] The attachment part 100 is detachably attached to a mobile phone S with a MagSafe function or a mobile phone case C with a built-in or attached magnet M, and has a circular ring-shaped groove (not shown) formed inside along the edge, and multiple magnets 120 are installed in the circular ring-shaped groove, and a circular ring-shaped upper cover ring 130 is formed along the edge above the magnet 120, and a circular ring-shaped lower cover ring 140 is formed along the edge below the magnet 120 to hide the magnet 120.

[0016] With the attachment part 100 configured in this manner, the hand grip 1 can be attached to a mobile phone S having a magsafe function or a mobile phone case C including a magnet M in a magsafe manner and used. After removing the attached hand grip 1, the mobile phone S can be connected to a wireless charging pad for wireless charging, or various mobile phone accessories such as a case, card wallet, stand, auxiliary battery, etc. can be attached and used.

[0017] The air holder 200 is connected to the upper center of the attachment part 100, contains air, and is made of thermoplastic polyurethane resin, which has excellent strength, toughness, and abrasion resistance, and is easily compressed and expanded by external force.

[0018] The air holder 200 includes a lower holder 210, an upper holder 220, and a connecting pipe 230 connecting the lower holder 210 and the upper holder 220, and has a vertically symmetrical structure centered on the connecting pipe 230, so that the mobile phone can be stably supported.

[0019] The lower holder 210 is connected to the upper part of the attachment part 100 and is open at the top and bottom. The upper part is closed by the lower cover 232 of the connecting pipe 230 and the lower part is closed by the attachment plate 110. The width of the lower holder 210 gradually narrows toward the top and one or more lower air holes 211 are formed. When the air holder 200 is compressed, the lower holder 210 is compressed while the air stored inside is discharged through the lower air holes 211 due to the pressure.

[0020] The upper holder 220 is provided above the lower holder 210 and connected to the grip plate 300. The upper and lower sides are open, the upper side is closed by the grip plate 300, and the lower side is closed by the upper cover 231 of the connecting pipe 230. The upper holder 220 is formed so that its width narrows toward the bottom, and has one or more upper air holes 221. When the air holder 200 is compressed, the upper holder 220 is compressed while the air stored inside is discharged through the upper air holes 221 due to pressure.

[0021] The connecting pipe 230 is provided between the lower holder 210 and the upper holder 220 to connect the lower holder 210 and the upper holder 220, and has an upper cover 231 and a lower cover 232 formed at the top and bottom, respectively, so as not to communicate with the insides of the lower holder 210 and the upper holder 220, and is a part that is not compressed when the air holder 200 is compressed.

[0022] The grip plate 300 is connected to the upper part of the air holder 200 and is made of a circular plate. A user can hold the grip plate 300 by hand, or push or pull the grip plate 300 to compress or expand the compressed air holder 200.

[0023] When a user presses or applies pressure to the grip plate 300 to compress the air holder 200, first, the upper holder 220 is compressed as air is discharged through the upper air hole 221, causing the center to be depressed upward, and then the lower holder 210 is compressed as air is discharged through the lower air hole 211, causing the center to be depressed downward. At this time, the upper part of the connecting pipe 230 enters the depressed center of the upper holder 220, and the lower part of the connecting pipe 230 enters the depressed center of the lower holder 210, causing the air holder 200 to be compressed flat, and the thickness of the compressed air holder 200 becomes almost the same as the thickness of the connecting pipe 230.

[0024] On the other hand, when the user pulls the pressed grip plate 300 upward to expand the air holder 200, first, the upper holder 220 expands in volume as the pressure is released, and air enters through the upper air hole 221. Then, the lower holder 210 also expands in volume as the pressure is released, and air enters through the lower air hole 211. At this time, the upper and lower parts of the connecting pipe 230, which had been inserted into the concave central parts of the upper holder 220 and the lower holder 210, become exposed to the outside, and the air holder 200 expands.

[0025] Meanwhile, the MagSafe hand grip 1 of the present invention can be used by compressing the entire air holder 200 as described above, or by compressing only the upper holder 220, so the user can adjust the thickness of the hand grip 1 for convenient use. [Explanation of symbols]
