Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The technology disclosed herein relates to a portable terminal storage device. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, portable terminal storage devices that can be attached to pushcarts such as shopping carts and carriers have been known.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a portable terminal storage device that has a housing that stores a portable terminal dedicated to shopping and charges the portable terminal when the portable terminal is stored therein. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2006-512637 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Recently, with the spread of smartphones as mobile terminals, more and more customers are shopping via their own mobile terminals. For this reason, a configuration that accommodates a dedicated terminal as described in Patent Document 1 cannot accommodate the various mobile terminals that customers have.

[0006] Furthermore, because vibrations occur when the handcart is moved, the storage device must be able to hold the mobile devices so that they do not fall out of the storage device due to vibrations.It is also required that the storage device be as compact as possible so as not to get in the way of work.

[0007] The technology disclosed herein has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a portable terminal storage device that has a compact configuration and is capable of holding a variety of portable terminals. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the technology disclosed herein is directed to a mobile terminal storage device that is attached to a pushcart and has a storage section for storing a mobile terminal, and that includes a back wall section located on the back side of the mobile terminal, a left side wall section and a right side wall section that are arranged opposite each other in the left-right direction, a bottom wall section that is provided between the left side wall section and the right side wall section, and a front wall section that is provided so as to face the back wall section, and the storage section is formed by the back wall section, the left side wall section, the right side wall section, the bottom wall section, and the front wall section, and the back wall section is provided with a biasing member that biases the mobile terminal toward the front wall section when the mobile terminal is stored in the storage section. a portion of the front wall portion is recessed toward the bottom wall portion compared to the other portion of the front wall portion; The structure is as follows.

[0009] With this configuration, when the mobile terminal is stored, the mobile terminal is pressed against the front wall by the biasing force of the biasing member. This allows the mobile terminal to be held by the biasing member and the front wall. Furthermore, since the mobile terminal storage device does not expand to the left and right, the mobile terminal storage device can be made as compact as possible.

[0010] In one embodiment of the portable terminal holder, the biasing member is formed of a leaf spring.

[0011] This configuration allows the configuration of the portable terminal holder to be simplified, and also allows the portable terminal to be biased toward the front wall portion over as wide an area as possible.

[0012] In one embodiment, the urging member may have a fixed portion fixed to the back wall portion, a urging portion extending from the end of the fixed portion on the bottom wall portion side toward the front wall portion toward the bottom wall portion and applying a urging force to the portable terminal, and an abutment portion provided at the end of the urging portion opposite the fixed portion and abutting against the portable terminal, and the abutment portion may be configured to be approximately parallel to the back wall portion.

[0013] With this configuration, when the biasing member is a leaf spring, it is possible to prevent the edge of the leaf spring from coming into contact with the mobile terminal, thereby enabling the mobile terminal to be held appropriately without being damaged.

[0014] In one embodiment, the biasing member has a fixed portion fixed to the back wall portion, and a biasing portion that extends from the end of the fixed portion on the bottom wall portion side toward the front wall portion toward the bottom wall portion and applies a biasing force to the mobile terminal, and one of the left and right ends of the bottom wall portion side end of the biasing portion may be configured to be located closer to the front wall portion than the other.

[0015] In particular, it is preferable that the end of the urging portion on the bottom wall side extends obliquely from the other of the left and right ends toward the one of the left and right ends toward the front wall and the bottom wall.

[0016] In these configurations, the left or right end of the bottom wall side of the biasing portion tends to contact the mobile device. As a result, when the mobile device is stored, a difference in the biasing force occurs between the left and right sides, so the stored mobile device tends to lean toward the right or left wall. Therefore, even if the width of the mobile device is small compared to the storage portion, the left and right side walls can be used to properly hold the mobile device.

[0017] In the portable terminal storage device, at least one of the left side wall portion and the right side wall portion is before The back wall portion may be provided with a gap therebetween.

[0018] According to this configuration, even when the mobile terminal is stored in a notebook-style case, the mobile terminal can be stored with the mobile terminal attached to the case and with the case open. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] As described above, the technique disclosed herein allows a portable terminal holder to have a compact configuration and be capable of holding a variety of portable terminals. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0021] (Embodiment 1) Hereinafter, the first exemplary embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0022] 1 shows a stand device 100 equipped with a mobile terminal storage device 1 (hereinafter referred to as terminal storage device 1) according to the present embodiment 1. The stand device 100 is attached to a shaft-shaped member P such as the handle of a shopping cart or a carrier, with a tablet-type mobile terminal T such as a smartphone stored in the terminal storage device 1.

[0023] The stand device 100 has a support 101 to one end of which the terminal storage device 1 is attached, and a clamper 102 provided at the other end of the support 101 for clamping a shaft-shaped member P such as a handle of a shopping cart or the like.

[0024] The support pillar 101 is provided so as to extend in a direction perpendicular to the shaft-shaped member P. The support pillar 101 is formed by welding two steel plates bent into a U-shaped cross section with the U-shaped openings facing each other. Although detailed illustration is omitted, the upper end of the support pillar 101 has a planar portion that extends in the left-right direction and is inclined obliquely upward. The terminal storage device 1 is fastened to this planar portion with screws.

[0025] The clamper 102 is composed of a pair of clamping members 102a connected by a plurality of screws. The pair of clamping members 102a are arranged facing each other in the vertical direction and clamp the shaft-shaped member P in the vertical direction. A fitting groove extending in the left-right direction is formed on the underside of each clamping member 102a. The fitting groove is a groove into which a part of the handle fits and is formed in an arc-shaped cross section. The curvature of the fitting groove is smaller than the curvature of the outer periphery of the shaft-shaped member P when the stand device 100 is not attached to the handle. When the stand device 100 is attached to the shaft-shaped member P, the clamping members 102a bend in the direction of fastening the screws, so that the curvature of the fitting groove becomes approximately the same as the curvature of the outer periphery of the shaft-shaped member P.

[0026] 2 to 8 are diagrams showing the structure of the terminal storage device 1. The terminal storage device 1 is made of resin. In the following description, when the mobile terminal T is stored in the terminal storage device 1, the direction corresponding to the thickness direction of the mobile terminal T is referred to as the face direction, the side on which the screen of the mobile terminal T is located in the face direction is referred to as the front side, and the side opposite the front side in the face direction is referred to as the back side. Regarding the left-right direction, the left side when viewed from the front side to the back side is referred to as the left side, and the right side is referred to as the right side. Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the face direction and the left-right direction is referred to as a predetermined direction, and when the mobile terminal T is stored, the side on which the bottom surface of the mobile terminal T is located in the predetermined direction is referred to as the bottom side, and the side opposite the bottom side in the predetermined direction is referred to as the top side.

[0027] The storage section 3 of the terminal storage device 1 is formed by combining a base section 10 located on the rear side with a cover section 20 attached to the base section 10 so as to cover the front side of the base section 10. The cover section 20 is detachably attached to the base section 10.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, the base portion 10 has a back wall portion 11 located on the back side and having a flat plate shape, a base-side right side wall portion 12 extending parallel to the right end portion of the back wall portion 11 and expanding in a predetermined direction, and a base-side bottom wall portion 13 formed near the bottom end portion of the back wall portion 11.

[0029] The upper end of back wall 11 extends straight in the left-right direction. As shown in Fig. 5, the upper end of back wall 11 extends straight in a predetermined direction in the rear portion, while the front portion forms upper inclined surface 11a that extends at an angle toward the upper surface toward the rear. The length of back wall 11 in the predetermined direction is set to a length that does not cover the camera lens when a camera-equipped mobile terminal is stored in storage section 3.

[0030] The left end of the back wall 11 extends straight in a predetermined direction. As shown in Fig. 6, the left end of the back wall 11 is provided with a left inclined surface 11b that is inclined toward the rear side as it extends leftward.

[0031] 2 and 5, a recess 16 is provided in the front side portion of the rear wall 11 for arranging a spring member 30, which will be described later. A plurality of (four in this example) screw insertion holes 17 for inserting screws are formed in the recess 16. The recess 16 also has a spring engagement hole 18 that engages with a part of the spring member 30.

[0032] Two right-side engagement claws 14 that protrude toward the right are provided on the right surface of the base-side right wall portion 12. The right-side engagement claws 14 each engage with a right-side engagement hole 25 (described later) of the cover portion 20. The base-side right wall portion 12 is provided on its upper surface with a guide portion 15 that serves as a guide when attaching the cover portion 20 to the base portion 10.

[0033] Between the base-side right wall 12 and the back wall 11, guide grooves 12a are provided at positions corresponding to the right engaging claws 14 in a predetermined direction, respectively, to serve as guides when attaching the cover 20 to the base 10. The guide grooves 12a are grooves into which protrusions 26 of the cover 20, which will be described later, are inserted.

[0034] The base-side bottom wall 13 extends from the bottom edge of the base-side right side wall 12 along the bottom edge of the back wall 11. A plurality of first through holes 13a are formed in the base-side bottom wall 13. The first through holes 13a are formed at the right edge and near the center in the left-right direction of the base-side bottom wall 13. These first through holes 13a are dust holes that prevent dust from accumulating inside the storage section 3.

[0035] A plurality of (here, two) bottom surface side engaging portions 13b are provided on the base side bottom wall portion 13. The bottom surface side engaging portions 13b engage with protrusions 27 of the cover portion 20, which will be described later.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 3 , a first reinforcing member 51 is attached to the back wall 11 and the base-side bottom wall 13. The first reinforcing member 51 has a first portion 51a that fits along the back wall 11 and a second portion 51b that fits along the base-side bottom wall 13. The first portion 51a has a plurality of holes (four in this example) for inserting screws at positions corresponding to the screw insertion holes 17 of the back wall 11. When the terminal storage device 1 is attached to the support 101, the first portion 51a is sandwiched between the back wall 11 and the support 101. The second portion 51b has a hole at a position corresponding to the first through-hole 13a. When the terminal storage device 1 is assembled, the second portion 51b is sandwiched between the base-side bottom wall 13 and the cover-side bottom wall 24. The first reinforcing member 51 is made of, for example, a steel plate.

[0037] The cover portion 20 has a front wall portion 21 that extends opposite the back wall portion 11 in the face direction, a cover side right side wall portion 22 that is formed to cover the base side right side wall portion 12 from the right side, a left side wall portion 23 that extends in a predetermined direction parallel to the left end portion of the back wall portion 11, and a cover side bottom wall portion 24 that is formed to cover the base side bottom wall portion 13 from the bottom side.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the front wall 21 has an open center in the left-right direction. The front wall 21 includes a left front wall 21a and a right front wall 21b separated into left and right halves, as well as a connecting portion 21c connecting the left front wall 21a and the right front wall 21b. When viewed from the front side, the left front wall 21a has a stepped shape that protrudes gradually to the right toward the bottom. When viewed from the front side, the right front wall 21b has a stepped shape that protrudes gradually to the left toward the bottom. As a result, the left and right front walls 21a, 21b have a larger left-right width at the bottom than at the top. The connecting portion 21c connects the right-side bottom end of the left front wall 21a to the left-side bottom end of the right front wall 21b. This allows the space between the left front wall 21a and the right front wall 21b to be as open as possible in a predetermined direction. Therefore, if the mobile terminal T is provided with a home button, the home button can be operated while the mobile terminal T is stored in the storage section 3.

[0039] The cover-side right wall portion 22 is provided with right-side engagement holes 25 at positions corresponding to the right-side engagement claws 14. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the cover-side right wall portion 22 has two protrusions 26 that protrude toward the rear side at the positions of the right-side engagement holes 25 in a predetermined direction. Each protrusion 26 is inserted into a guide groove 12a of the base portion 10 when the cover portion 20 is attached to the base portion 10.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 6, the left side wall 23 branches into a first left side wall 23a and a second left side wall 23b. The first left side wall 23a extends in the planar direction and in a predetermined direction so as to be perpendicular to the left front wall 21a. The rear end of the first left side wall 23a is spaced apart from the rear wall 11. The second left side wall 23b extends in the predetermined direction and extends obliquely from the front end of the first left side wall 23a toward the left and rear side, and then extends straight toward the rear side. The rear end of the second left side wall 23b is spaced apart from the rear wall 11. In other words, a gap S is formed between the left side wall 23 and the rear wall 11 over the entire area in the predetermined direction.

[0041] A second reinforcing member 52 made of a material with higher rigidity than the cover 20 is inserted into the gap between the first left-side wall 23a and the second left-side wall 23b. As shown in FIG. 8, the bottom end of the second reinforcing member 52 extends along the base-side bottom wall 13. The bottom end of the second reinforcing member 52 is fixed to the base-side bottom wall 13. The second reinforcing member 52 is made of, for example, a steel plate.

[0042] The cover-side bottom wall 24 has two protrusions 27 that protrude toward the rear side. When attaching the cover 20 to the base 10, these protrusions 27 are inserted into the bottom-side engagement portions 13b provided on the base-side bottom wall 13. The cover-side bottom wall 24 has second through holes 24a at positions corresponding to the first through holes 13a. This allows the storage unit 3 to communicate with the outside via the first through holes 13a and the second through holes 24a. These second through holes 24a are dust holes that prevent dust from accumulating inside the storage unit 3.

[0043] The storage section 3 is formed by the back wall section 11, the base side right side wall section 12, the cover side right side wall section 22, the left side wall section 23, the base side bottom wall section 13, the cover side bottom wall section 24, and the front wall section 21 as described above.

[0044] As shown in each of FIGS. 1 to 8, a spring member 30 is provided in the storage section 3 to urge the portable terminal T toward the front wall section 21 when the portable terminal T is stored in the storage section 3. The spring member 30 is made of a plate spring. The spring member 30 is made of a material that is less rigid than the exterior of the portable terminal T, and is made of, for example, a resin material.

[0045] The spring member 30 has a fixed portion 31 fixed to the back wall portion 11, a biasing portion 32 that applies a biasing force to the mobile terminal T, and a contact portion 33 that contacts the mobile terminal T.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 5 , the fixing portion 31 is accommodated in the recess 16 of the rear wall portion 11. When the fixing portion 31 is accommodated in the recess 16, the front surface of the fixing portion 31 and the front surface of the rear wall portion 11 are flush with each other. The fixing portion 31 has screw insertion holes 31a at portions corresponding to the two screw insertion holes 17 on the upper surface of the rear wall portion 11. Like the screw insertion holes 17, each screw insertion hole 31a is a hole through which a screw is inserted. In other words, the fixing portion 31 is designed to be fastened together with the rear wall portion 11.

[0047] The fixed part 31 has a bent part 31b that is bent toward the rear side and that is inserted into the spring engagement hole 18 of the back wall part 11. When the bent part 31b engages with the spring engagement hole 18, the bent part 31b is caught in the spring engagement hole 18, and the position of the fixed part 31 is determined. In other words, the bent part 31b and the spring engagement hole 18 make it easy to position the fixed part 31.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 5 , when the fixed part 31 is fixed to the back wall part 11, the biasing part 32 extends obliquely from the bottom end of the fixed part 31 toward the front side. The minimum value of the gap between the biasing part 32 and the front wall part 21, i.e., the size of the gap between the bottom and front end of the biasing part 32 and the front wall part 21, is designed to be thinner than the thickness of a typical mobile terminal T. The biasing part 32 has a tool insertion hole 32a at a position overlapping the screw insertion hole 17 of the back wall part 11 when viewed from the front side. This tool insertion hole 32a is slightly larger than the screw insertion hole 31a provided in the fixed part 31. The tool insertion hole 32a is a hole for easily passing a tool when attaching the terminal storage device 1 to the support 101. Furthermore, the provision of this tool insertion hole 32a makes the biasing part 32 more flexible.

[0049] 5, the contact portion 33 extends from the bottom end of the biasing portion 32, that is, the end of the biasing portion 32 opposite the fixed portion 31, toward the bottom side. The contact portion 33 extends so as to be parallel to the back wall portion 11 in an unloaded state. The provision of the contact portion 33 makes it possible to prevent the edge of the spring member 30 from coming into contact with the portable terminal T when the portable terminal T is stored in the storage portion 3. This makes it possible to prevent the portable terminal T from being damaged.

[0050] 9 to 11 show an example of how the terminal storage device 1 is used. In the example shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the portable terminal T is stored in the storage section 3 without being stored in a case. When the portable terminal T is stored in the storage section 3, the biasing section 32 is pushed toward the rear side by the weight of the portable terminal T and bends. The biasing section 32 generates a biasing force on the portable terminal T toward the front side against the pressing force from the portable terminal T. The biasing section 32 biases the portable terminal T stored in the storage section 3 toward the front wall section 21 by this biasing force. When the portable terminal T is biased toward the front wall section 21, the corners on the bottom side of the portable terminal T are pressed against the left front wall section 21a and the right front wall section 21b, respectively. This makes it possible to hold the portable terminal T.

[0051] 11 shows a state in which the mobile terminal T is stored in a so-called notebook-style terminal case 200. In the terminal storage tool 1 of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the mobile terminal T can be stored in the notebook-style terminal case 200 and the notebook-style terminal case 200 can be stored in the terminal storage tool 1 while remaining open. That is, since the terminal storage tool 1 has a gap S formed between the left side wall portion 23 and the back wall portion 11, the portion of the notebook-style terminal case 200 in which the mobile terminal T is stored (hereinafter referred to as the terminal portion 201) can be stored in the storage portion 3, while the cover portion of the notebook-style terminal case 200 (hereinafter referred to as the terminal cover portion 202) can be positioned outside the terminal storage tool 1 through the gap S. This allows the user to avoid the trouble of removing the mobile terminal T from the terminal portion 201 when storing the mobile terminal T in the terminal storage tool 1.

[0052] Furthermore, the left end of the back wall 11 forms a left inclined surface 11b, which makes it possible to maximize the gap S. This makes it easier to store the portable terminal T together with the notebook-type terminal case 200.

[0053] Therefore, the terminal storage device 1 of this embodiment 1 comprises a back wall portion 11 located on the back side of the mobile terminal T, a left side wall portion 23 extending parallel to the left end of the back wall portion 11, base side and cover side right side wall portions 12, 22 extending parallel to the right end of the back wall portion 11, base side and cover side bottom wall portions 13, 24 provided between the left side wall portion 23 and the base side and cover side right side wall portions 12, 22, and a front wall portion 21 provided opposite the back wall portion 11, and the storage section 3 is formed by the back wall portion 11, the left side wall portion 23, the base side and cover side right side wall portions 12, 22, the base side and cover side bottom wall portions 13, 24, and the front wall portion 21, and the back wall portion 11 is provided with a spring member 30 that urges the mobile terminal T toward the front wall portion 21 when the mobile terminal T is stored in the storage section 3. As a result, when the portable terminal T is stored, the portable terminal T is pressed against the front wall portion 21 by the biasing force of the spring member 30. This makes it possible to sandwich and hold the portable terminal T between the spring member 30 and the front wall portion 21. Furthermore, since the terminal storage tool 1 does not expand to the left and right, the terminal storage tool 1 can be configured as compactly as possible.

[0054] In particular, in the present embodiment 1, the spring member 30 is a plate spring. This simplifies the configuration of the terminal storage tool 1. Furthermore, since the portable terminal T can be biased toward the front wall portion 21 over as wide an area as possible, the portable terminal T can be held more appropriately.

[0055] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the spring member 30 has a fixed portion 31 fixed to the back wall portion 11, a biasing portion 32 extending from the bottom end of the fixed portion 31 toward the front side toward the bottom side and applying a biasing force to the portable terminal T, and a contact portion 33 provided at the end of the biasing portion 32 opposite the fixed portion 31 and contacting the portable terminal T, the contact portion 33 being approximately parallel to the back wall portion 11 in an unloaded state. This configuration can prevent the edge of the spring member 30 from contacting the portable terminal T. This allows the portable terminal T to be held appropriately without being damaged.

[0056] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the urging portion 32 has a tool insertion hole 32a. By providing this tool insertion hole 32a, the rigidity of the urging portion 32 can be adjusted to some extent by changing the size of the tool insertion hole 32a. As a result, the rigidity of the urging portion 32 can be set to a rigidity that does not damage the portable terminal T and can apply an appropriate urging force to the portable terminal T. This allows the portable terminal T to be held more appropriately without being damaged.

[0057] Furthermore, in the present embodiment 1, the entire left side wall 23 is provided with a gap S between it and the back wall 11. As a result, even when the mobile terminal T is stored in the notebook-type terminal case 200, the mobile terminal T can be stored with the mobile terminal T attached to the notebook-type terminal case 200 and with the notebook-type terminal case 200 open.

[0058] (Embodiment 2) Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, parts common to the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0059] In the second embodiment, the configuration of the front wall portion 221 and the configuration of the spring member 230 are different from those in the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, in the second embodiment, the front wall portion 221 is more open in the surface direction than in the first embodiment. Specifically, in the second embodiment, the widths of both the left-side front wall portion 221a and the right-side front wall portion 221b in the left-right direction are reduced compared to the first embodiment, and the distance between the left-side front wall portion 221a and the right-side front wall portion 221b is increased. In addition, the width of the connecting portion 221c in a predetermined direction is reduced. This allows for easy operation even with a portable terminal T that does not have a home button and in which substantially the entire front surface is an operation screen.

[0060] In the second embodiment, a gap S is also formed between the left side wall portion 23 and the rear wall portion 11.

[0061] On the other hand, because the widths of both the left-right front wall portion 221a and the right-right front wall portion 221b are reduced, there is a risk that the holding force of the storage device 1 will be reduced for a portable terminal T with a small width. Therefore, in this embodiment 2, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the bottom-side end portion (hereinafter referred to as bottom end portion 232a) of the urging portion 232 of the spring member 230 is configured so that its right end is located closer to the front and bottom than the left end. More specifically, the bottom end portion 232a of the urging portion 232 is configured to extend obliquely from its left end toward its right end toward the front and bottom.

[0062] With this configuration, when the portable terminal T is stored in the storage device 201, the spring member 230 comes into contact with the portable terminal T on one side, resulting in a difference in the biasing force applied to the portable terminal T from the spring member 230 between the left and right sides. In particular, in the second embodiment, the right side of the bottom end 232a is more likely to come into contact with the portable terminal T, and the biasing force on the right side is greater than that on the left side. Also, a slight gap is formed between the left side portion of the bottom end 232a and the portable terminal T. This makes it easier for the portable terminal T stored in the storage device 201 to shift to the left side. By shifting the portable terminal T to the left side, the portable terminal T can be properly held by the left-side front wall portion 221a and the left side wall portion 23. Therefore, the portable terminal T can be properly held even if the front wall portion 221 is opened more widely in a predetermined direction.

[0063] (Other embodiments) The technology disclosed herein is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be substituted within the scope of the claims.

[0064] For example, in the above-described embodiments 1 and 2, the stand device 100 is attached to a shaft-shaped member P extending in the horizontal direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the stand device 100 may be configured to be attached to a shaft-shaped member extending in the vertical direction. In this case, the arrangement of the support 101 and the clamper 102 is changed.

[0065] In the first embodiment, the spring member 30 is configured as a plate spring. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a torsion coil spring or a compression coil spring may be used. In this case, for example, a torsion coil spring or a compression coil spring may be disposed between the rear wall portion 11 and a plate material disposed on the front side of the rear wall portion 11, and the spring force may be used to bias the plate material toward the front side.

[0066] In the above-described first and second embodiments, the right side wall portion and the bottom wall portion are provided on both the base portion 10 and the cover portion 20. However, this is not limiting, and these may be provided on either the base portion 10 or the cover portion 20.

[0067] In the second embodiment, the bottom end 232a of the urging portion 232 is configured to extend obliquely from its left end toward its right end toward the front and bottom. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the bottom end 232a may be configured to extend obliquely from its right end toward its left end toward the front and bottom.

[0068] Furthermore, instead of having a structure in which the bottom end 232a is inclined obliquely, one of the right and left portions of the bottom end 232a may be configured to protrude in a stepped manner toward the front side more than the other portion. Even in this configuration, a difference in the biasing force occurs between the left and right sides, and a gap occurs between one end of the bottom end 232a and the portable terminal T, making it easier for the portable terminal T to lean to the right or left side.

[0069] The above-described embodiments are merely examples and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the claims, and all modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the claims equivalents are within the scope of the present disclosure. [Industrial Applicability]
