[0001] The present invention relates to a portable multi-holder that can hold and carry items such as glasses and pens, and also functions as a stand for propping up objects such as mobile terminals.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the opportunity to watch videos or operate mobile terminals such as smartphones has increased, and the demand for portable stands that can be easily used outdoors has been increasing. On the other hand, when going out, it is often necessary to carry small items such as pens and glasses (including sunglasses and reading glasses), and holders for holding these are widely used. However, carrying separately a dedicated holder for small items as described in Patent Document 1 and a dedicated stand as described in Patent Document 2 was bulky and impaired convenience.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is required to improve convenience while reducing the load by equipping a holder that can carry small items by hanging them from the neck or attaching them to a bag daily as described in Patent Document 1 with a stand function for a mobile terminal as described in Patent Document 2. However, simply combining these separate structures has problems such as the structure becoming complicated, the weight increasing, and the design being impaired.

[0005] This invention was made in view of these problems, and aims to provide a portable multi-holder that has a simple structure, yet combines the ability to hold small items with a stand function at multiple angles, and is also lightweight and has an excellent design. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To solve the above problems, the portable multi-holder according to the present invention comprises a main body to which a string-like member is connected, and a movable flap portion arranged along the outer surface of the main body, with a holding portion provided on at least one of the main body or the movable flap portion for inserting and holding a predetermined article, and a recess formed on one side edge of the main body for placing a plate-shaped object, and is transformable into a first form in which the movable flap portion is arranged along the main body for portability, and a second form in which the movable flap portion is unfolded and the object is propped up and supported, and in the first form, is characterized by being provided with an engagement means for detachably fixing the movable flap portion to the main body.

[0007] Preferably, the holding portion is composed of a plurality of insertion openings provided on the back of the main body, allowing long members such as the temples (arms) of eyeglasses to be inserted.

[0008] The string-like member is provided with a locking member that is movable along the string-like member, and it is preferable that in the second embodiment, the locking member can be moved in a direction away from the main body to bring the lower end of the object into contact with it, thereby transforming into a third embodiment in which the object is supported at a gentler angle than in the second embodiment. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to this invention, in the first form, it can hold small items such as pens and glasses and be carried compactly, and by simply releasing the engagement means and unfolding the movable flap, it can be immediately used as a stand for propping up objects such as mobile devices. Furthermore, by using different unfolding methods and support members, objects can be stably held at multiple angles, from steep to gentle angles, making it extremely convenient.

[0010] Furthermore, in the second embodiment in which an object is supported using the deployed movable flap, the user can choose between inserting the end of the mobile device into a recess formed on one side edge of the main body and holding it, or using a protrusion formed on the end of the movable flap as a stopper and placing the mobile device in front of it to hold it. This allows the user to select the optimal holding method according to the shape and thickness of the mobile device and the user's preference, and enables stable holding of the mobile device at a steep angle in the range of over 45 degrees and up to 85 degrees, in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. The steepest angle is most preferably around 75 degrees.

[0011] Furthermore, by providing an opening on the back of the main body through which eyeglass temples or similar components can be inserted, it not only allows for stable holding of long components but also significantly contributes to reducing the overall weight of the product.

[0012] Furthermore, by utilizing the locking member (stopper, etc.) provided on the string-like member and bringing the lower end of the object into contact with the locking member, it becomes possible to support the object at a gentler angle (third form) ranging from 5 degrees to 45 degrees, which is gentler than the second form, without increasing the number of parts, and optimal angle adjustment according to the usage scenario can be achieved. The most preferable gentle angle is approximately 15 degrees. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0013] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of the front side showing the first embodiment (portable state) of the portable multi-holder according to the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view of the back side showing the first form of the multi-holder. [Figure 3]This is a perspective view showing the multi-holder in its unfolded state. [Figure 4] This is a perspective view showing the multi-holder in its second configuration (steep-angle stand). [Figure 5] This is a perspective view showing the multi-holder in its third configuration (gentle angle stand). [Figure 6] This is a perspective view showing the multi-holder in its second holding configuration in the second embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The portable multi-holder 1 according to this embodiment comprises a main body portion 10 and a movable flap portion 20 made of a flexible sheet-like material such as leather, synthetic leather, fabric, or soft plastic, and a cord-like member 30 such as paracord. In this embodiment, the main body portion 10 and the movable flap portion 20 are integrally formed by curving or folding a single long sheet-like material into a substantially U-shape (or folded in half), with the curved portion and the surface near the curved portion constituting the main body portion 10, and a pair of surfaces extending from the curved portion toward both ends constituting the movable flap portion 20. The cord-like member 30 is connected, for example, via a through hole (eyelet, etc.) provided near the folded portion (upper end) of the material.

[0015] In the first form (portable form), the movable flap portion 20, consisting of a pair of surfaces, is arranged to fold using the substantially U-shaped bend as a pivot point and is fixed to each other (or to the main body portion 10) by a detachable engaging means 40 such as a hook. A cylindrical (or loop-shaped) first holding portion 21 for holding a pen or the like is provided extending from the outer surface of one of the movable flap portions 20 to the main body portion 10 (or spanning both the outer surface and the main body portion 10). In addition, the back surface of the main body portion 10 is provided with a plurality of insertion openings 12 (second holding portions) formed by, for example, a straight slit or a round hole, to insert and hold long members such as eyeglasses and to reduce the weight of the main body portion 10. A protrusion 22 having a predetermined thickness is formed at the unfolded end (free end side) of the movable flap portion 20 by overlapping leather or the like.

[0016] One side edge of the main body 10 (or the side edge of the movable flap 20) has a roughly U-shaped or U-shaped notched recess 11 that corresponds to the thickness of a plate-shaped object 100 such as a smartphone, for which the object is placed. Preferably, the edge of this recess 11 (cross-section of leather, etc.) is smoothed with edge coating or the like to prevent scratching the screen or casing of the placed object 100, and also provides an anti-slip effect.

[0017] When used as a stand, the engaging means 40 is released and the movable flap portion 20 is extended, and the end of the object 100 is inserted into the recess 11 of the main body portion 10 (or the extended movable flap portion 20). This results in a second form in which the main body portion 10 and the extended movable flap portion 20 are in a position where they intersect or spread apart, and their respective lower ends come into contact with the ground surface such as a desk, forming a stable base and holding the object 100 at a steep angle in the range of more than 45 degrees and less than or equal to 85 degrees. The steep angle is most preferably about 75 degrees.

[0018] As a method for holding the object 100 in the second form, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the end (lower end) of the object 100 can be inserted into the concave portion 11 to form a first holding form for supporting the object 100. As another holding method, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the convex portion 22 formed at the end of the movable flap portion 20 is used as a stopper, and the lower end portion of the object 100 is brought into contact with the convex portion 22, and the back surface of the object 100 is supported by the main body portion 10 and the movable flap portion 20 to form a second holding form. In either the first holding form or the second holding form, the object 100 can be stably held in either the vertical direction (see FIG. 4) or the horizontal direction (see FIG. 6).

[0019] Furthermore, the string-like member 30 is provided with a locking member 31 such as a stopper part that can slide along the string-like member ". By pulling the locking member 31 away from the main body portion 10 and the movable flap portion 20 (stretching the string) and bringing the lower end portion of the object 100 into contact, the object 100 can be deformed into a third form that holds the object 100 at a loose angle in a range of 5 degrees or more and less than or equal to 45 degrees, which is looser than the second form, by utilizing the tension of the string-like member 30 (see FIG. 5). It is most preferable that the loose angle is about 15 degrees.
