Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a terminal holder, and particularly to a terminal holder for holding a mobile terminal.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a terminal holder in which a user holds a mobile terminal or a terminal storage case by sandwiching a sandwiched portion is known (for example, Patent Document 1). The substantially circular holding portion provided at the end of the terminal holder has a floor contact portion that contacts the floor when the terminal storage case is placed on the floor, and a terminal contact portion that contacts the terminal storage case. When the terminal storage case is placed vertically, the terminal contact portion contacts the second contact portion provided on the terminal storage case and the floor contact portion contacts the floor. When the terminal storage case is placed horizontally, the terminal contact portion contacts the first contact portion provided on the terminal storage case and the floor contact portion contacts the floor.

[0003] By causing the terminal contact portion to contact the first contact portion and the floor contact portion to contact the floor, the terminal storage case can be placed horizontally. Further, by causing the terminal contact portion to contact the second contact portion and the floor contact portion to contact the floor, the terminal storage case can be placed vertically. Thereby, the terminal storage case can be placed horizontally or vertically with one holding portion. Further, by directly attaching the terminal holder to the mobile terminal, the same effect can be obtained.

[0004] Another terminal holder has a holding portion provided at the end in the extending direction of the sandwiched portion, and by contacting a finger against the holding portion, it prevents the finger from slipping off from the sandwiched portion (for example, Patent Document 2). A finger insertion space is defined in the sandwiched portion, and by inserting the ring finger or the little finger, a mobile terminal or a terminal storage case can be held.

Patent Document 1

[0006] The terminal holder described in Patent Document 1 had difficulty stably placing the terminal storage case on the floor due to the shape of the back of the case. In particular, when the back of the terminal storage case or mobile device had a slightly curved and protruding central portion, the terminal contact part and the terminal holder only made contact at the protruding point, resulting in instability such as wobbling when placed on the floor. Similarly, the floor contact part that made contact with the floor was also unstable because it only made contact at a single point. This problem occurred whether the terminal storage case was placed vertically or horizontally.

[0007] Furthermore, the terminal holder described in Patent Document 1 could only be set to one tilt angle, which sometimes made it difficult to see the LCD screen of the mobile terminal due to reflections, etc., so an angle adjustment function was needed.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a device holder that allows a mobile device and its storage case to be placed vertically and horizontally in a stable manner. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a terminal holder for holding a terminal storage case that covers a mobile terminal, comprising: a fixing part fixed to the terminal storage case; a connecting part extending in an extending direction from the fixing part and made of a flexible material; and a holding part provided at the end of the connecting part in the extending direction, to which a finger extending in the directional direction contacts when the terminal holder is held, wherein the holding part comprises a first contact part that can contact the terminal storage case when the terminal storage case is placed on the floor surface at an inclination, and a second contact part that can contact the floor surface, wherein at least one of the first contact part and the second contact part has both ends in the directional direction protruding and a central part recessed, and the protruding part at a position spaced apart from the recessed position can contact the terminal storage case, the mobile terminal, or the floor surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing portion is preferably sandwiched between the mobile terminal and the terminal storage case, and the connecting portion preferably passes through a power through-hole formed in the side surface of the terminal storage case, into which a terminal for charging the mobile terminal is inserted.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting portion has a first finger insertion portion that extends from the fixed portion and is connected to the holding portion, and a second finger insertion portion that extends from the fixed portion and is connected to the holding portion at a different position from the holding portion, and it is preferable that the sum of the width of the portion of the first finger insertion portion that passes through the power supply through hole and the width of the portion of the second finger insertion portion that passes through the power supply through hole is less than or equal to the width of the power supply through hole.

[0012] Furthermore, it is preferable that the first contact portion can contact the liquid crystal screen of the mobile terminal stored in the terminal storage case when the terminal storage case is placed on the floor surface at an angle.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting portion is defined as a finger insertion space into which the finger is inserted from the finger insertion direction, and it is preferable that at least one of the first contact portion and the second contact portion has a recess in the central part in the finger insertion direction.

[0014] In another aspect of the present invention, a terminal holder for holding a mobile terminal is provided, comprising: a fixing portion fixed to the back of the mobile terminal; a connecting portion extending in an extending direction from the fixing portion and made of a flexible material; and a holding portion provided at the end of the connecting portion in the extending direction to which a finger extending in the directional direction contacts when the terminal holder is held, wherein the holding portion comprises a first contact portion that can contact the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is placed on the floor surface at an angle, and a second contact portion that can contact the floor surface, wherein at least one of the first contact portion and the second contact portion has protruding ends in the directional direction and a recessed central portion, and the protruding portion at a position spaced apart from the recessed position can contact the mobile terminal or the floor surface.

[0015] In another aspect of the present invention, a terminal holder for holding a mobile terminal is provided, comprising: a fixing portion fixed to the back of the mobile terminal; a connecting portion extending in an extending direction from the fixing portion and made of a flexible material; and a holding portion provided at the end of the connecting portion in the extending direction, to which a finger extending in the directional direction contacts when the terminal holder is held, wherein the holding portion comprises a first contact portion that can contact the fixing portion and a second contact portion that can contact the floor surface when the mobile terminal is placed on the floor surface at an inclination, and at least one of the first contact portion and the second contact portion has both ends in the directional direction protruding and a central portion recessed, and the protruding portion at a position spaced apart from the recessed position in the directional direction can contact the mobile terminal or the floor surface.

[0016] Furthermore, it is preferable that the holding portion has a cover portion having a surface that the fingers contact, and a lid portion on the opposite side of the surface that the fingers contact, which is detachably attached to the cover portion, and that a sheet can be inserted between the lid portion and the cover portion.

[0017] Furthermore, it is preferable that the holding portion is substantially rectangular when viewed from the extension direction, and that at least one side of the rectangle is recessed inward.

[0018] Furthermore, the holding portion is composed of a rigid reinforcing member and an outer cover detachably provided on the reinforcing member, and it is preferable that the outer cover is provided on the side opposite to the surface to which the connecting portion is connected. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] With this configuration, at least one end of the first and second contact parts protrudes, allowing the terminal storage case to be stably placed vertically or horizontally by contacting the terminal storage case, the mobile device, or the floor surface with the protruding part. Furthermore, by recessing the central part and causing both ends to protrude, a terminal holder capable of stably holding the terminal storage case can be realized with a simple structure. In addition, since the connecting part is made of a flexible material, the terminal storage case can be placed vertically or horizontally. Moreover, due to the flexibility of the connecting part, the angle of the terminal storage case can be set to a desired position by fine-tuning the position of the holder.

[0020] By bringing the first contact portion into contact with the terminal storage case and the second contact portion into contact with the floor surface, the terminal storage case can be placed horizontally or vertically. This allows the terminal storage case to be placed horizontally or vertically with a single holding portion. Furthermore, because a holding portion for the fingers is provided, it is possible to prevent the mobile device from falling even if the user accidentally lets go of the terminal storage case. In addition, because a holding portion is provided at the end of the connection portion, the terminal storage case can be held stably. Moreover, since the holding portion that supports the fingers when the terminal storage case is held also serves as a support when the terminal storage case is placed on the floor, the number of parts can be reduced and manufacturing costs can be lowered.

[0021] With such a configuration, since the fixing portion is sandwiched between the mobile terminal and the terminal storage case, it is possible to prevent the terminal holder from detaching from the terminal storage case. Further, since the connection portion passes through the power through-hole to which the charging terminal is connected, the terminal holder 1 protrudes from the lower end of the mobile terminal. As a result, the fulcrum when holding the terminal storage case is located at the lower part of the terminal storage case, and it becomes possible to stably hold the terminal storage case. Furthermore, since the power through-hole is often formed substantially at the center of the bottom surface of the terminal storage case, it becomes possible to stably place the terminal storage case vertically and horizontally.

[0022] With such a configuration, since the sum of the widths of the portions passing through the power through-hole of the first connection and the widths of the portions passing through the power through-hole of the second connection portion is equal to or less than the width of the power through-hole, it is possible to avoid the first connection portion and the second connection portion overlapping in the power through-hole. As a result, it is possible to avoid a state where the power through-hole is blocked by the connection portion and it is difficult to insert the charging terminal. Further, it is possible to prevent the connection state from becoming unstable due to interference between the charging terminal inserted into the power through-hole and the connection portion.

[0023] With such a configuration, since the first contact portion can contact the liquid crystal screen of the mobile terminal when the terminal storage case is placed on the floor surface, it is possible to take a picture with the camera provided on the back while the mobile terminal is placed on the floor surface. As a result, it becomes possible to take pictures such as videos and photos by oneself without asking a third party to take the picture. Furthermore, since the camera can be placed on the floor surface while facing obliquely upward, it is possible to take videos and the like even if the height at which the mobile terminal is placed is low.

[0024] With such a configuration, since at least one of the two ends of the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion protrudes, the protruding portion abuts against the portable terminal or the floor surface, so that the portable terminal can be stably placed vertically or horizontally. Further, since the central portion is recessed to protrude the two ends, a terminal holder capable of stably holding the portable terminal with a simple structure can be realized. Furthermore, since the connecting portion is made of a flexible material, the portable terminal can be placed vertically and horizontally. Also, due to the flexibility of the connecting portion, the angle of the portable terminal can be set at a desired position by finely adjusting the position of the holding portion.

[0025] By abutting the first abutting portion against the portable terminal and the second abutting portion against the floor surface, the portable terminal can be placed horizontally or vertically. Thereby, the portable terminal can be placed horizontally or vertically with one holding portion. Also, since a holding portion against which a finger abuts is provided, it is possible to prevent the portable terminal from falling even if the hand is accidentally released from the portable terminal. Further, since the holding portion is provided at the end of the connecting portion, the portable terminal can be stably held. Furthermore, since the holding portion that supports the finger when holding the portable terminal also serves as a member that supports when placed on the floor surface, the number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

[0026] With such a configuration, since the lid portion and the cover portion are detachable and a sheet can be inserted therebetween, the user can use a sheet printed with a desired character or the like on the holding portion. Also, by replacing the sheet, a terminal holder according to the user's preference can be realized.

[0027] With such a configuration, since the holding portion is substantially rectangular when viewed from the extending direction, the inclination angle can be changed depending on whether the terminal storage case is supported by the long side or the short side of the rectangle. Thereby, the inclination angle can be adjusted according to, for example, the reflection of the liquid crystal screen of the portable terminal.

[0028] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a terminal holder that can stably hold a terminal storage case or a mobile terminal in both vertical and horizontal positions. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0030] A terminal holder 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 13. As shown in the figures, the front, back, up, down, left, and right directions are defined.

[0031] The terminal holder 1 is attached to the terminal storage case 10 that houses the mobile terminal 10A (Figure 12), and consists of a fixing part 2, a finger insertion part 3, and a holding part 4. The mobile terminal 10A has an LCD screen 10C (Figure 12) and a camera 10D (Figure 9) that display various information. The mobile terminal 10A is a smartphone or a tablet, but is not limited to this as long as it is a thin terminal that can display information. The terminal holder 1 is exposed to the outside through a power through-hole 10a formed in the terminal storage case 10 for inserting the charging terminal of the mobile terminal 10A.

[0032] The fixing part 2 and the finger insertion part 3 are made of a flexible material, and any material such as cloth, synthetic fiber, leather, artificial leather, or resin can be selected. The back surface of the fixing part 2 is provided with adhesive tape that is attached to the inner surface of the terminal storage case 10. The fixing part 2 has a first fixing part 21 and a second fixing part 22 adjacent to the first fixing part 21. The fixing part 2 is formed integrally with the finger insertion part 3, but the fixing part 2 and the finger insertion part 3 may be separate. When the mobile terminal 10A is stored in the terminal storage case 10, the fixing part 2 is sandwiched between the terminal storage case 10 and the mobile terminal 10A, making it difficult to detach. In this embodiment, the fixing part 2 is fixed to the inner surface of the terminal storage case 10, but it is not limited to this and may be fixed to the outer surface of the terminal storage case 10. When fixed to the outside of the terminal storage case 10, characters or the like may be printed on the fixing part 2. The finger insertion part 3 is an example of a connecting part of the present invention.

[0033] The finger insertion portion 3 extends downward from the left-right center of the lower end of the fixing portion 2 and does not overlap with the fixing portion 2 when viewed from the front-rear direction. The finger insertion portion 3 has a substantially flat shape with width in the left-right direction and defines a finger insertion space 3a shown by the diagonal lines in Figure 3, and a holding portion 4 is provided at the lower end (tip). The finger insertion portion 3 has a first finger insertion portion 31 connected to the first fixing portion 21 and a second finger insertion portion 32 connected to the second fixing portion 22. The space enclosed by the first finger insertion portion 31, the second finger insertion portion 32 as shown in the diagonal area of ​​Figure 3, and the holding portion 4 constitutes the finger insertion space 3a. The first finger insertion portion 31 is an example of the first connecting portion of the present invention, and the second finger insertion portion 32 is an example of the second connecting portion of the present invention.

[0034] The first finger insertion section 31 has a first narrow section 33 that connects the first fixing section 21 and the holding section 4 and passes through the power through-hole 10a of the terminal storage case 10, and a first connecting section 34 that is connected to the holding section 4. The width of the first narrow section 33 in the left-right direction is approximately half the width of the power through-hole 10a. After passing through the power through-hole 10a, the width of the first finger insertion section 31 in the left-right direction expands and reaches the holding section 4. The second finger insertion section 32 has a second narrow section 35 that connects the second fixing section 22 and the holding section 4 and passes through the power through-hole 10a of the terminal storage case 10, and a second connecting section 36 that is connected to the holding section 4. The width of the second narrow section 35 in the left-right direction is approximately half the width of the power through-hole 10a. After passing through the power through-hole 10a, the width of the second finger insertion section 32 in the left-right direction expands and reaches the holding section 4.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4, the first narrow portion 33 and the second narrow portion 35 are positioned in the power through-hole 10a without overlapping each other. As a result, even when an adapter for charging a mobile terminal 10A is inserted into the power through-hole 10a, the first narrow portion 33 and the second narrow portion 35 do not interfere with the adapter, allowing for smooth charging.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1, the first connecting portion 34 and the second connecting portion 36 are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the fixing portion 2 and the finger insertion portion 3 are integrally formed. Specifically, the fixing portion 2 and the finger insertion portion 3 are configured to extend from the first fixing portion 21, through the first narrow portion 33 to the first connecting portion 34, pass through the inside of the holding portion 4, and then from the second connecting portion 36, through the second narrow portion 35 to the second fixing portion 22.

[0037] The finger insertion space 3a is preferably large enough to accommodate one or two fingers, and can be arbitrarily set by adjusting the vertical length of the finger insertion portion 3 and the front-to-back distance between the first connecting portion 34 and the second connecting portion 36. As shown in Figure 12, the terminal holder 1 is held by the user when the little finger 55 is inserted into the finger insertion space 3a of the finger insertion portion 3. The downward direction in which the finger insertion portion 3 extends is an example of the extension direction of the present invention, and the left-to-right direction in which the little finger 55 is inserted into the finger insertion space 3a is an example of the directional direction of the present invention. The finger insertion portion 3 is made of a tape-like flexible material, but is not limited to this and may be made of a string-like material.

[0038] The holding portion 4 is roughly rectangular, and the first connecting portion 34 and the second connecting portion 36 are fixed to it. The holding portion 4 serves to prevent the little finger 55 from falling out of the finger insertion portion 3 when the little finger 55 is inserted into the finger insertion space 3a, and also serves to support the terminal holder 1 when it is placed on the floor surface F.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2, the holding part 4 has rounded corners, and the approximate center portion of each side is recessed inward. Here, "inward" refers to the direction toward the center of the holding part 4 in Figure 2. By printing characters or the like on the lower surface of the holding part 4, the terminal holder 1 can be sold as character goods.

[0040] As shown in Figures 2 and 8, the holding portion 4 has a front contact portion 41 that contacts the outer surface of the terminal storage case 10 when the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically on the floor surface F, and a rear contact portion 42 that contacts the floor surface F when the terminal holder 1 is placed vertically on the floor surface F. The holding portion 4 is a roughly square with sides of approximately 40 mm, and the rear contact portion 42 is provided on the opposite side of the front contact portion 41 in the front-rear direction.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2, the approximate center of the front contact portion 41 and the rear contact portion 42 in the left-right direction is recessed inward. The front contact portion 41 has a right front contact portion 41A located at the right end and a left front contact portion 41B located at the left end. The right front contact portion 41A and the left front contact portion 41B are corners of the holding portion 4 and are chamfered in a rounded shape. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, when the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically, the right front contact portion 41A and the left front contact portion 41B each come into contact with the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10.

[0042] The rear contact portion 42 has a right rear contact portion 42A located at the right end and a left rear contact portion 42B located at the left end. The right rear contact portion 42A and the left rear contact portion 42B are corners of the holding portion 4 and are chamfered in a rounded shape. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, when the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically, the right rear contact portion 42A and the left rear contact portion 42B each come into contact with the floor surface F.

[0043] As shown in Figure 5, the terminal holder 1 is integrally constructed with a fixing part 2 and a finger insertion part 3, and is fixed by passing the finger insertion part 3 through the holding part 4. The holding part 4 further includes an inner cover 43, a reinforcing member 44, and an outer cover 45. The inner cover 43 has two holding holes 43a into which the finger insertion part 3 is inserted. The holding holes 43a are substantially the same shape and spaced apart from each other, and are slightly wider than the first connecting part 34 and the second connecting part 36.

[0044] The reinforcing material 44 is a component that maintains the strength of the holding part 4 and is made of resin, but is not limited to resin; it may be made of wood, silicone, metal, etc. By changing the thickness and material of the reinforcing material 44, the texture and weight of the holding part 4 can be changed. The outer cover 45 is the surface that is exposed to the outside when the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically, as shown in Figure 8, so it can be used as merchandise by printing characters, etc. on it.

[0045] When assembling the terminal holder 1, the first fixing part 21 and the first finger insertion part 31 are inserted into one of the holding holes 43a and exposed from the other holding hole 43a. As a result, the first fixing part 21 and the first finger insertion part 31 are exposed from one of the holding holes 43a, and the second fixing part 22 and the second finger insertion part 32 are exposed from the other holding hole 43a. The inner cover 43 to which the fixing part 2 and the finger insertion part 3 are fixed is bonded to the reinforcing material 44 and the outer cover 45. The terminal holder 1 is completed by applying adhesive seals to the first fixing part 21 and the second fixing part 22.

[0046] When attaching the terminal holder 1 to the terminal storage case 10, the first fixing part 21 is folded down and inserted into the power through-hole 10a, and the second fixing part 22 is folded down and inserted into the power through-hole 10a. By fixing the first fixing part 21 and the second fixing part 22 adjacent to each other on the inside of the terminal storage case 10, the terminal holder 1 is fixed to the terminal storage case 10 as shown in Figures 1 and 10.

[0047] Next, Figures 6 and 7 show the terminal storage case 10 when placed horizontally on the floor surface F. The back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10 is provided with a first projection 11 and a second projection 12 that is spaced apart from the first projection 11 in the left-right direction. The first projection 11 and the second projection 12 protrude to the rear and can come into contact with the holding part 4.

[0048] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, when the terminal storage case 10 is placed horizontally on the floor surface F, the left front contact portion 41B and the left rear contact portion 42B contact the floor surface F, and the terminal storage case 10 is maintained in an inclined position by contacting the terminal storage case 10 near the right front contact portion 41A and the right rear contact portion 42A. At this time, the front contact portion 41 is fixed without sliding on the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10 by the contact between the right front contact portion 41A and the left side surface of the first projection portion 11. This allows the terminal storage case 10 to be stably placed horizontally on the floor surface F.

[0049] In the state shown in Figures 6 and 7, the holding part 4 and the terminal storage case 10 are in contact at the lower part of the side connecting the right rear contact part 42A and the right front contact part 41A, closer to the right rear contact part 42A. Alternatively, the length of the first finger insertion part 31 and the second finger insertion part 32 may be adjusted to bring the right rear contact part 42A and the terminal storage case 10 into contact. This causes both the vertical ends of the holding part 4 to contact the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10, allowing the terminal storage case 10 to be stably placed horizontally on the floor surface F.

[0050] As shown by the dashed line in Figure 7(b), the floor surface F, the terminal storage case 10, and the holding part 4 form a first virtual triangle T1 as triangle abc. The holding part 4, the upper part of the terminal storage case 10, and the upper part of the holding part 4 form a second virtual triangle T2 as triangle cde. At this time, since point e is located approximately in the center of side ac, the holding part 4 can stably support the terminal storage case 10. At this time, a constant tension is applied to the finger insertion part 3.

[0051] In detail, tension is applied to one side of the finger insertion portion 3 in the width direction (left-right direction), while the other side is relaxed. Because tension is applied to the finger insertion portion 3, the holding portion 4 does not separate from the terminal storage case 10, and the inclined state of the terminal storage case 10 can be maintained. The formation of a second virtual triangle T2 with the finger insertion portion 3 as an edge stabilizes the first virtual triangle T1, and thus the inclined state of the terminal storage case 10 can be maintained. When the terminal storage case 10 is placed horizontally, the right front contact portion 41A and the right rear contact portion 42A are examples of the first contact portion of the present invention, and the left front contact portion 41B and the left rear contact portion 42B are examples of the second contact portion of the present invention.

[0052] As shown in Figure 8, when the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically on the floor surface F, the rear contact portion 42 contacts the floor surface F and the front contact portion 41 contacts the back surface 10B, thereby maintaining the terminal storage case 10 in an inclined state. More specifically, as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 9, the right front contact portion 41A and the left front contact portion 41B contact the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10 near the first projection 11 and the second projection 12, while the right rear contact portion 42A and the left rear contact portion 42B contact the floor surface F.

[0053] As shown in Figure 8, the floor surface F, the terminal storage case 10, and the holding part 4 form a third virtual triangle T3, which is triangle fgh, indicated by the dashed line. The second finger insertion part 32, the lower part of the terminal storage case 10, and the upper part of the holding part 4 form a fourth virtual triangle T4, which is triangle fhi, indicated by the dashed line. The first finger insertion part 31, the floor surface F, and the lower part of the holding part 4 form a fifth virtual triangle T5, which is triangle fgj, indicated by the dashed line. The first finger insertion part 31, the central part of the holding part 4, and the second finger insertion part 32 form a sixth virtual triangle T6, which is triangle fij, indicated by the dashed line.

[0054] In the vertical orientation, the finger insertion portion 3 is positioned so as to extend from point f toward side hg. In other words, the first finger insertion portion 31 and the second finger insertion portion 32 extend from the lower end of the terminal storage case 10 and are connected to the holding portion 4 with a gap between them. This allows the holding portion 4 to stably support the terminal storage case 10. Because the first finger insertion portion 31 and the second finger insertion portion 32 are connected to the holding portion 4 with a gap between them, three triangles, the fourth virtual triangle T4, the fifth virtual triangle T5, and the sixth virtual triangle T6, are formed within the third virtual triangle T3. At this time, a certain tension is applied to the first finger insertion portion 31 and the second finger insertion portion 32. Because tension is applied to the finger insertion portion 3, the holding portion 4 does not separate from the terminal storage case 10, and the inclined state of the terminal storage case 10 can be maintained.

[0055] As shown in Figure 11, by making the front contact portion 41 contact the LCD screen 10C of the mobile terminal 10A instead of the back surface 10B, the terminal storage case 10 can be placed on the floor surface F so that the camera 10D of the mobile terminal 10A is facing diagonally upward, as shown by the solid line. By using the self-timer, one person can take a picture with the camera 10D of the mobile terminal 10A. When the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically, the right rear contact portion 42A and the left rear contact portion 42B are examples of the first contact portion of the present invention, and the right front contact portion 41A and the left front contact portion 41B are examples of the second contact portion of the present invention.

[0056] Next, the method of holding the terminal storage case 10 using the terminal holder 1 will be described with reference to Figures 12 and 13. A mobile terminal 10A is stored in the terminal storage case 10 to which the terminal holder 1 is attached. The user grasps the terminal storage case 10 with their index finger 52 and middle finger 53, supports the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10 with their ring finger 54, and inserts their little finger 55 into the finger insertion space 3a of the finger insertion section 3. At this time, the user's ring finger 54 and little finger 55 are in contact with the holding section 4. Alternatively, the terminal storage case 10 may be held by gripping the first finger insertion section 31 and the second finger insertion section 32 with the ring finger 54 and little finger 55 from the front and back directions. The user supports the back 10B of the terminal storage case 10 with their index finger 52, middle finger 53, and ring finger 54, inserts their little finger 55 into the finger insertion space 3a, and the ring finger 54 and little finger 55 come into contact with the holding part 4, thereby securing the terminal storage case 10 in their palm.

[0057] The user operates the LCD screen 10C of the mobile terminal 10A with their thumb 51. Since the center of gravity G of the terminal storage case 10 acts approximately downward from the center, the terminal storage case 10 can be stably held with the index finger 52, middle finger 53, and ring finger 54. In other words, since the terminal storage case 10 is held by the ring finger 54 and little finger 55 at a pivot point S spaced away from the center of gravity G, it can be stably held by utilizing the weight of the terminal storage case 10 by supporting the vicinity of the center of gravity G with multiple fingers. Here, the pivot point S is the point where the terminal holder 1 supports the terminal storage case 10, and is located at the lower end of the terminal storage case 10. In other words, since the terminal holder 1 is exposed from the power through-hole 10a of the terminal storage case 10, the pivot point S can be positioned at the lower end of the terminal storage case 10.

[0058] If the user wishes to perform other tasks while holding the terminal storage case 10, they release their index finger 52 and middle finger 53, which are supporting the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10, from the case 10. As shown in Figure 13, the terminal storage case 10 rotates counterclockwise around the ring finger 54 due to its own weight. At this time, the little finger 55 is inserted into the finger insertion space 3a, while the ring finger 54 and little finger 55 are in contact with the holding part 4. This allows the user to perform other tasks with fingers other than the ring finger 54 and little finger 55 while holding the terminal storage case 10 without having to place it elsewhere. To operate the terminal storage case 10 again, the user uses momentum or their other hand to rotate the terminal storage case 10 clockwise around the ring finger 54 to return it to the state shown in Figure 12.

[0059] With this configuration, both ends of the front contact portion 41 and the rear contact portion 42 protrude, and the right front contact portion 41A, the left front contact portion 41B, the right rear contact portion 42A, and the left rear contact portion 42B contact the terminal storage case 10, the LCD screen 10C of the mobile terminal 10A, or the floor surface F, allowing the terminal storage case 10 to be stably placed vertically or horizontally. Furthermore, by recessing the central portion and causing both ends to protrude, a terminal holder 1 that can stably hold the terminal storage case 10 can be realized with a simple structure. In addition, since the finger insertion portion 3 is made of a flexible material, the terminal storage case 10 can be placed vertically or horizontally. Moreover, due to the flexibility of the finger insertion portion 3, the angle of the terminal storage case 10 can be set to a desired position by fine-tuning the position of the holder portion 4.

[0060] By bringing the front contact portion 41 into contact with the terminal storage case 10 or the mobile terminal 10A, and bringing the rear contact portion 42 into contact with the floor surface F, the terminal storage case 10 can be placed vertically. Alternatively, by bringing the right front contact portion 41A and the right rear contact portion 42A into contact with the back surface 10B, and bringing the left front contact portion 41B and the left rear contact portion 42B into contact with the floor surface F, the terminal storage case 10 can be placed horizontally. Thus, the terminal storage case 10 can be placed horizontally or vertically with a single holding portion 4. Furthermore, since a finger insertion portion 3 is provided with a defined finger insertion space 3a into which a finger is inserted, it is possible to prevent the mobile terminal 10A from falling even if the hand is accidentally released from the terminal storage case 10. In addition, since a holding portion 4 is provided at the end of the finger insertion portion 3, the terminal storage case 10 can be held stably. Furthermore, since the holding part 4 that supports the fingers when the mobile terminal 10A is held also serves as a support member when the terminal storage case 10 is placed on the floor surface F, the number of parts can be reduced and manufacturing costs can be lowered.

[0061] With this configuration, the fixing part 2 is sandwiched between the mobile terminal 10A and the terminal storage case 10, which prevents the terminal holder 1 from detaching from the terminal storage case 10. Also, since the finger insertion part 3 passes through the power through hole 10a to which the charging terminal is connected, the terminal holder 1 protrudes from the lower end of the mobile terminal 10A. As a result, the pivot point S when holding the terminal storage case 10 is located at the bottom of the terminal storage case 10, making it possible to stably hold the terminal storage case 10. Furthermore, since the power through hole 10a is often formed approximately in the center of the bottom surface of the terminal storage case 10, it is possible to stably place the terminal storage case 10 vertically and horizontally.

[0062] With this configuration, the sum of the width of the first narrow portion 33 passing through the power through-hole 10a of the first finger insertion portion 31 and the width of the second narrow portion 35 passing through the power through-hole 10a of the second finger insertion portion 32 is less than or equal to the width of the power through-hole 10a. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the first finger insertion portion 31 and the second finger insertion portion 32 overlapping at the power through-hole 10a. This prevents a situation where the power through-hole 10a is blocked by the finger insertion portion 3, making it difficult to insert the charging terminal. In addition, it is possible to suppress the instability of the connection state caused by interference between the charging terminal, which is inserted into the power through-hole 10a, and the finger insertion portion 3.

[0063] With this configuration, the front contact portion 41 can contact the LCD screen 10C of the mobile terminal 10A when the terminal storage case 10 is placed on the floor surface F, so that the camera 10D on the back 10B can take pictures while the mobile terminal 10A is placed on the floor surface F. This makes it possible to take videos and photos by oneself without having to ask a third party to take them. Furthermore, since the camera 10D can be placed on the floor surface F while facing diagonally upward, it is possible to take videos and other images even when the height at which the mobile terminal 10A is placed is low.

[0064] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 14 to 17. The terminal holder 101 consists of a fixing part 102 attached to the back surface of the mobile terminal 10A, a finger insertion part 3, and a holding part 4. Components identical to those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their description is omitted.

[0065] In the first embodiment, the terminal holder 1 is fixed to the inner surface of the terminal storage case 10, but in the second embodiment, the terminal holder 101 is fixed directly to the back of the mobile terminal 10A. The fixing part 102 consists of a first fixing part 21, a second fixing part 22, and a protective cover 121 that is attached to the upper surfaces of the first fixing part 21 and the second fixing part 22. As shown in Figures 16 and 17, the protective cover 121 is substantially rectangular and has a rounded corner on the side opposite to the side that is attached to the first fixing part 21 and the second fixing part 22. This prevents the fixing part 102 from peeling off from that corner when the fixing part 102 is fixed to the back of the mobile terminal 10A.

[0066] When attaching the terminal holder 101 to the back of the mobile terminal 10A, it is preferable to position it slightly above the bottom edge, as shown in Figure 14. As shown in Figure 15, when the mobile terminal 10A is placed vertically, the right front contact portion 41A and the left front contact portion 41B come into contact with the protective cover 121. The gripping force of the surface of the protective cover 121 prevents the right front contact portion 41A and the left front contact portion 41B from slipping, allowing the mobile terminal 10A to be stably placed on the floor surface F. When the mobile terminal 10A is placed vertically, the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10 may come into contact with the front contact portion 41.

[0067] By attaching the terminal holder 101 to approximately the center in the vertical direction of the back surface 10B, the tilt angle when the mobile terminal 10A is placed vertically can be reduced. In other words, the tilt angle of the mobile terminal 10A can be set to a desired position depending on the position of the terminal holder 101.

[0068] When the mobile terminal 10A is placed horizontally, the right front contact portion 41A and the protective cover 121 come into contact, and a part of the edge connecting the right rear contact portion 42A and the right front contact portion 41A also comes into contact with the protective cover 121.

[0069] In the second embodiment, the terminal holder 101 is attached to the back of the mobile terminal 10A, but it is not limited to this, and the terminal holder 101 may also be attached to the back 10B of the terminal storage case 10. This makes it possible to attach the terminal holder 101 even to a terminal storage case 10 that does not have a power through-hole 10a.

[0070] With this configuration, both ends of the front contact portion 41 and the rear contact portion 42 protrude, and these protruding portions contact the mobile terminal 10A or the floor surface F, allowing the mobile terminal 10A to be stably placed vertically or horizontally. Furthermore, by recessing the central portion to cause both ends to protrude, a terminal holder 101 that can stably hold the mobile terminal 10A can be realized with a simple structure. In addition, since the finger insertion portion 3 is made of a flexible material, the mobile terminal 10A can be placed vertically or horizontally. Moreover, due to the flexibility of the finger insertion portion 3, the angle of the mobile terminal 10A can be set to a desired position by fine-tuning the position of the holding portion 4.

[0071] By bringing the front contact portion 41 into contact with the mobile terminal 10A and the rear contact portion 42 into contact with the floor surface F, the mobile terminal 10A can be placed vertically. Furthermore, by bringing the right front contact portion 41A and the right rear contact portion 42A into contact with the back of the mobile terminal 10A and the left front contact portion 41B and the left rear contact portion 42B into contact with the floor surface F, the mobile terminal 10A can be placed horizontally. Thus, the mobile terminal 10A can be placed horizontally or vertically with a single holding portion 4. In addition, since a finger insertion portion 3 is provided with a defined finger insertion space 3a into which a finger is inserted, it is possible to prevent the mobile terminal 10A from falling even if the hand is accidentally released from it. Furthermore, since a holding portion 4 is provided at the end of the finger insertion portion 3, the mobile terminal 10A can be held stably. Moreover, since the holding portion 4 that supports the fingers when the mobile terminal 10A is held also serves as a support member when it is placed on the floor surface F, the number of parts can be reduced and manufacturing costs can be lowered.

[0072] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 18. Components identical to those in the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted. In the terminal holder 201 according to the third embodiment, the holding portion 4 of the terminal holder 1 of the first embodiment is partially detachable.

[0073] The holding portion 204 of the terminal holder 201 is composed of an inner cover 243, a reinforcing material 44, an outer cover 45, a lid portion 241, and a sheet 205. The lid portion 241 has two claws 242 and is configured to be detachably attached to the integrally attached inner cover 43, reinforcing material 44, and outer cover 45. The inner cover 43 has grooves 243a formed at positions corresponding to the claws 242. The lid portion 241 is fixed to the inner cover 43 by the claws 242 catching in the grooves 243a. The inner cover 43, reinforcing material 44, and outer cover 45 are examples of cover portions of the present invention.

[0074] A sheet 205 can be inserted between the outer cover 45 and the lid 241, allowing the user to insert a desired character, photograph, or the like as the sheet 205. While the sheet 205 in this embodiment is circular, it is not limited to this shape and any shape can be selected.

[0075] With this configuration, the lid 241, inner cover 43, reinforcing material 44, and outer cover 45 are detachable and a sheet 205 can be inserted between them, allowing the user to use a sheet 205 printed with a desired character or the like on the holding part 204. Furthermore, by changing the sheet 205, a terminal holder 201 can be created according to the user's preferences.

[0076] Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 19 to 20. Components identical to those in the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted. The holding portion 304 of the terminal holder 301 according to the fourth embodiment is substantially rectangular with rounded corners, and is configured such that the approximate central portion of each side is recessed inward. As shown by the dotted and solid lines in Figure 20, the holding portion 304 has a front contact portion 341 that contacts the outer surface of the terminal storage case 10 when the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically on the floor surface F, and a rear contact portion 342 that contacts the floor surface F when the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically on the floor surface F.

[0077] As shown in Figure 19, the approximate center of the front contact portion 41 and the rear contact portion 42 in the left-right direction is recessed inward. The front contact portion 341 has a right front contact portion 341A located at the right end and a left front contact portion 341B located at the left end. The right front contact portion 341A and the left front contact portion 341B are corners of the holding portion 304 and are chamfered in a rounded shape. The rear contact portion 342 has a right rear contact portion 342A located at the right end and a left rear contact portion 342B located at the left end. The right rear contact portion 342A and the left rear contact portion 342B are corners of the holding portion 304 and are chamfered in a rounded shape.

[0078] As shown by the solid line in Figure 20, when the right front contact portion 341A and the left front contact portion 341B of the holding portion 304 are in contact with the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10, and the right rear contact portion 42A and the left rear contact portion 342B are in contact with the floor surface F, the angle of the mobile terminal 10A is steep. As shown by the dotted line in Figure 20, when the left front contact portion 341B and the left rear contact portion 342B of the holding portion 304 are in contact with the back surface 10B, and the right front contact portion 341A and the right rear contact portion 342A are in contact with the floor surface F, the angle of the mobile terminal 10A is gentle. In other words, by rotating the holding portion 4 by 90° and placing the terminal storage case 10 vertically on the holding portion 304, the terminal storage case 10 can be placed on the floor surface F at two different inclination angles.

[0079] With this configuration, the holding part 304 is roughly rectangular when viewed from above, so the tilt angle can be changed by supporting the terminal storage case 10 with either the longer side or the shorter side of the rectangle. This makes it possible to adjust the tilt angle according to reflections on the LCD screen 10C of the mobile terminal 10A.

[0080] Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 21 to 22. Components identical to those in the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and their description is omitted. The reinforcing member 444 of the holding portion 4 has a recess 445 into which the outer cover 45 is detachably fitted. The recess 445 is surrounded by a wall 446 of several meters and has the cross-section shown in Figure 22. As a result, the periphery of the outer cover 45 is surrounded by the reinforcing member 444, so that the reinforcing member 444 acts like a decorative frame for the outer cover 45. In this embodiment, the surface on which the inner cover 43 is attached and detached is smooth, but a recess of the same shape as the recess 445 may be formed therein. As a result, the outer circumference of the outer cover 45 is surrounded by the reinforcing member 444, which improves the strength of the holding portion 4. In addition, since the reinforcing member 444 comes into contact with the back surface 10B, the floor surface F, or the first projection 11, the terminal storage case 10 can be placed vertically or horizontally in a stable state.

[0081] Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 23. Components identical to those in the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted. As shown in Figure 23, the reinforcing member 544 of the holding portion 4 is provided with anti-slip material 546 on the right front contact portion 41A, the right rear contact portion 42A, the left front contact portion 41B, and the left rear contact portion 42B. The anti-slip material 546 is made of a resin such as silicone and can contact the back surface 10B, the floor surface F, or the first projection 11. This allows the terminal storage case 10 to be placed vertically or horizontally in a stable state.

[0082] The terminal holder and terminal storage case according to the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the invention as described in the claims.

[0083] In the above-described embodiment, the terminal holder 1 is fixed to the terminal storage case 10, but the invention is not limited to this. The terminal holder 1 may also be directly attached to the back of the portable terminal 10A. In this case, as shown in Figure 8, when the portable terminal 10A is placed vertically on the floor surface F, the rear contact portion 42 contacts the floor surface F and the front contact portion 41 contacts the back of the portable terminal 10A, causing the portable terminal 10A to tilt. As a result, even without the terminal storage case 10, the portable terminal 10A can be placed vertically or horizontally using the terminal holder 1.

[0084] The retaining portion 204 of the third embodiment shown in Figure 18 can also be applied to other embodiments. The retaining portion 304 of the fourth embodiment shown in Figure 19 can also be applied to other embodiments.

[0085] In the above-described embodiment, the holding portion 4 had indentations inward at approximately the center of all four sides, but it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Figure 24(a), the holding portion 404 has indentations only at the front contact portion 41 and the rear contact portion 42, and no indentations on the left and right sides. This allows the terminal storage case 10 to be stably supported at least at two points when the terminal storage case is placed vertically. Also, as shown in Figure 24(b), the holding portion 504 has an indentation only at the front contact portion 41, and no indentations on the rear contact portion 542 and the left and right sides. Even with this configuration, when the terminal storage case is placed vertically, the front contact portion 41 contacts the back surface 10B at two points, so the terminal storage case 10 can be stably supported. Also, as shown in Figure 24(c), the holding portion 604 may be approximately heart-shaped. The holding portion 604 comprises a front contact portion 641 having a right front contact portion 641A and a left front contact portion 641B, and a rear contact portion 642. In the holding portion 604, the space between the right front contact portion 641A and the left front contact portion 641B is recessed inward, and the right front contact portion 641A and the left front contact portion 641B are positioned at a predetermined distance apart in the left-right direction from the recessed area. When the terminal storage case 10 is placed vertically on the floor surface F, the right front contact portion 641A and the left front contact portion 641B contact the back surface 10B, and the rear contact portion 642 contacts the floor surface F.

[0086] In the above-described embodiment, a finger insertion space 3a was defined in the finger insertion portion 3, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Figure 25, the terminal holder 701 has a connecting portion 703 made of a flexible material instead of a finger insertion portion. Since the connecting portion 703 does not have a finger insertion space 3a, a finger cannot be inserted. The user grasps the terminal storage case 10 to which the terminal holder 701 is attached by pinching the connecting portion 703 with their fingers. This allows the mobile terminal 10A or the terminal storage case 10 to be placed vertically or horizontally using the terminal holder 701.

[0087] In the first embodiment, the terminal holder 1 is exposed to the outside through the power through-hole 10a, but the embodiment is not limited to this. The terminal holder 1 may be attached to any position on the back surface 10B of the terminal storage case 10. For example, the terminal holder 1 may be attached to the terminal storage case 10 so that the finger insertion portion 3 extends from the lower right or lower left of the back surface 10B. Alternatively, the terminal holder 1 may be attached to the back surface 10B so that the finger insertion portion 3 extends from the left or right direction of the terminal storage case 10.
