For example, the second hollow portion (412) may be provided as a space surrounded by the second upper portion (411a).

[0112] The second coupling portion (410) may include a coupling protrusion (413). The coupling protrusion (413) may be formed on the outer surface of the second coupling body (411). The coupling protrusion (413) may protrude from the outer surface of the second coupling body (411).

[0113] The engaging projection (413) may be guided by the engaging groove (313) of the first engaging portion (310). As will be described later, when the stand neck (40) rotates with respect to the stand base (30), the engaging projection (413) may be guided by the engaging groove (313). When the stand neck (40) rotates with respect to the stand base (30), the engaging projection (413) may be arranged to move within the engaging groove (313). When the stand neck (40) rotates with respect to the stand base (30), the engaging projection (413) may be arranged to move between the first groove (3131) and the second groove (3132).

[0114] The coupling protrusion (413) may be provided to be coupled to the coupling groove (313). The coupling protrusion (413) may be rotationally coupled to the coupling groove (313).

[0115] When the engaging protrusion (413) is provided in the first groove (3131) of the engaging groove (313), the engaging protrusion (413) can be separated from the engaging groove (313). When the engaging protrusion (413) is provided in the second groove (3132) of the engaging groove (313), the engaging protrusion (413) is provided to be caught by the catching protrusion (314) and cannot be separated from the engaging groove (313). A detailed description thereof will be given later.

[0116] The engaging protrusion (413) may include a second inclined portion (4131). The second inclined portion (4131) may correspond to the first inclined portion (3141). As a result, the engaging protrusion (413) can move smoothly between the first groove portion (3131) and the second groove portion (3132). Specifically, the engaging protrusion (413) can more easily enter from the first groove portion (3131) to the second groove portion (3132).

[0117] Although the second coupling portion (410) is illustrated in the drawing as including two coupling protrusions (413a, 413b), the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The second coupling portion (410) may include one coupling protrusion. The second coupling portion (410) may include three or more coupling protrusions. The number of coupling protrusions (413) may be the same as the number of coupling grooves (313). There is no limitation on the number of coupling protrusions (413).

[0118] The coupling portion (410) may include a spring (414). The spring (414) may be accommodated within the second coupling body (411). The spring (414) may be disposed in the second hollow portion (412). The spring (414) may elastically bias the elastic block (415). The spring (414) may be arranged to elastically bias the elastic block (415) in a substantially vertical direction.

[0119] The coupling portion (410) may include an elastic block (415). The elastic block (415) may be elastically biased by a spring (414). The elastic block (415) may be provided to be relatively movable with respect to a second coupling body (411) by the spring (414). The elastic block (415) may be connected to the second coupling body (411) and provided to be relatively movable with respect to the second coupling body (411). The elastic block (415) may be provided to be moved in a substantially vertical direction by the spring (414).

[0120] The elastic block (415) may be coupled to the second coupling body (411) to cover the spring (414). The elastic block (415) may be arranged to contact the spring (414). As the elastic block (415) is pressed, the spring (414) may also be pressed.

[0121] The elastic block (415) may include a hook body (4151) and a protruding body (4152) extending from the lower portion of the hook body (4151). The hook body (4151) may be larger than the protruding body (4152).

[0122] The hook body (4151) may be provided to be accommodated inside the second coupling body (411). The hook body (4151) may be provided to be hooked to the second coupling body (411). The hook body (4151) may be provided to be hooked to the second lower portion (411b). The size of the hook body (4151) may be larger than the size of the body hole (411h) of the second coupling body (411).

[0123] The protruding body (4152) may be provided to be protrusible from the second connecting body (411) through the body hole (411h). The protruding body (4152) may be provided so as not to be caught by the second connecting body (411). The size of the protruding body (4152) may be smaller than the size of the body hole (411h) of the second connecting body (411). In some cases, the size of the protruding body (4152) may be the same as the size of the body hole (411h) of the second connecting body (411). As long as the protruding body (4152) can pass through the body hole (411h), there is no limitation on its size.

[0124] For example, in a state where the elastic block (415) does not interfere with other components, the engaging body (4151) may be accommodated inside the second coupling body (411), and the protruding body (4152) may protrude from the second coupling body (411) through the body hole (411h). For example, in a state where the elastic block (415) interferes with other components or is pressed by an external force, the engaging body (4151) may be accommodated inside the second coupling body (411), and at least a portion of the protruding body (4152) may be accommodated inside the second coupling body (411). The area in which the protruding body (4152) is accommodated inside the second coupling body (411) may vary depending on the degree to which the elastic block (415) is pressed.

[0125] The elastic block (415) may be provided to correspond to the coupling hole (315) of the first coupling portion (310). The protruding body (4152) of the elastic block (415) may have a shape corresponding to the coupling hole (315). The protruding body (4152) of the elastic block (415) may be provided to be exposed to the outside through the coupling hole (315).

[0126] The protruding body (4152) of the elastic block (4155) may include a first protrusion (4152a) and a second protrusion (4152b). The second protrusion (4152b) may extend outward from the first protrusion (4152a). The first protrusion (4152a) may correspond to the first hole (3151) of the coupling hole (315). The second protrusion (4152b) may correspond to the second hole (3152) of the coupling hole (315).

[0127] The elastic block (415) may be arranged to be engaged with the coupling hole (315). Here, the engagement of the elastic block (415) with the coupling hole (315) may include that the protruding body (4152) is positioned within the coupling hole (315). The engagement of the elastic block (415) with the coupling hole (315) may include that the first protrusion (4152a) is positioned within the first hole portion (3151) of the coupling hole (315), and the second protrusion (4152b) is positioned within the second hole portion (3152) of the coupling hole (315).

[0128] Meanwhile, the ordinal numbers "first" and "second" of the first coupling portion (310) and the second coupling portion (410) do not limit their configurations. For example, the first coupling portion (310) may be referred to as the second coupling portion (310), and the second coupling portion (410) may be referred to as the first coupling portion (410). Similarly, the ordinal numbers "first" and "second" do not limit the configurations of the respective components of the first coupling portion (310) and the respective components of the second coupling portion (410).

[0129] Next, with reference to FIGS. 14 to 25, an example of a process of combining a stand base (30) and a stand neck (40) will be described.

[0130] Fig. 14 illustrates an example of a state in which a stand neck is aligned with a stand base. Fig. 15 illustrates an enlarged view of a portion of the stand neck and the stand base illustrated in Fig. 14. Fig. 16 illustrates an enlarged view of a portion of the bottom surface of the stand neck and the stand base illustrated in Fig. 14. For reference, in Fig. 15, the case (430) of the stand neck (40) is omitted in order to more clearly illustrate the first connecting portion (310) of the stand base (30) and the second connecting portion (410) of the stand neck (40).

[0131] Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the stand neck (40) can be aligned approximately vertically with respect to the stand base (30). The second coupling portion (410) of the stand neck (40) can be aligned approximately vertically with respect to the first coupling portion (310) of the stand base (30). The stand neck (40) can be aligned with the stand base (30) such that the coupling protrusion (413) of the second coupling portion (410) corresponds to the first groove portion (3131) of the coupling groove (313) of the first coupling portion (310).

[0132] Referring to Fig. 16, it can be seen that before the stand base (30) and the stand neck (40) are combined, the elastic block (415) of the second coupling part (410) is not combined with the coupling hole (315) of the first coupling part (310).

[0133] The stand neck (40) can be arranged to be movable between a first position (P1, see FIGS. 17 to 20) and a second position (P2, see FIGS. 21 to 25).

[0134] Fig. 17 illustrates an example of a state in which a stand neck is inserted into a stand base. Fig. 18 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' shown in Fig. 17. Fig. 19 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B' shown in Fig. 17. Fig. 20 is an enlarged view of a portion of the bottom surface of the stand neck and stand base shown in Fig. 17.

[0135] Referring to FIG. 17, the stand neck (40) may be provided at a first position (P1) where the second coupling portion (410) is detachable from the first coupling portion (310). When the stand neck (40) is at the first position (P1), the second coupling portion (410) may be detachable from the first coupling portion (310). When the stand neck (40) is positioned at the first position (P1) and moves upward, the second coupling portion (410) may be detached upward from the first coupling portion (310).

[0136] For example, the stand neck (40) can be set to a first position (P1, see FIGS. 17 to 20) by moving downward from a state aligned with respect to the stand base (30) (see FIGS. 14 to 16). In a state where the coupling protrusion (413) of the second coupling portion (410) corresponds to the first groove portion (3131) of the coupling groove (313) of the first coupling portion (310), the stand neck (40) can be at the first position (P1) by moving downward toward the stand base (30).

[0137] Referring to FIG. 18, while the stand neck (40) is at the first position (P1), the first groove (3131) may be provided to receive the engaging projection (413). When the stand neck (40) is at the first position (P1), the engaging projection (413) may be received in the first groove (3131) and may not interfere with the catching projection (314) (see FIG. 20). Accordingly, when the stand neck (40) is at the first position (P1), the second engaging portion (410) may be provided in a state in which it can be separated from the first engaging portion (310).

[0138] Referring to FIGS. 19 and 20, while the stand neck (40) is at the first position (P1), the elastic block (415) may be arranged to interfere with the first coupling body (311). While the stand neck (40) is at the first position (P1), the elastic block (415) may be arranged to interfere with the bottom portion (3111) of the first coupling body (311). While the stand neck (40) is at the first position (P1), the elastic block (415) may be arranged to be pressed by the bottom portion (3111). As the elastic block (415) is pressed by the bottom portion (3111), the spring (414) may also be pressed by the elastic block (415). The lower surface of the elastic block (415) may contact the upper surface of the bottom portion (3111). The elastic block (415) may be arranged to be hung on the bottom portion (3111). The elastic block (415) may be accommodated inside the second coupling body (411). The elastic block (415) may be placed in the second hollow portion (412). The elastic block (415) may not protrude from the second coupling body (411).

[0139] While the stand neck (40) is in the first position (P1), the elastic block (415) and the coupling hole (315) may not be engaged. The elastic block (415) may not be positioned within the coupling hole (315). The protruding body (4152) of the elastic block (415) may not be positioned within the coupling hole (315). The second protrusion (4152b) of the protruding body (4152) may be arranged to be caught on the bottom portion (3111). The second protrusion (4152b) of the protruding body (4152) may be covered by the bottom portion (3111). The second protrusion (4152b) of the protruding body (4152) may not be exposed to the outside through the coupling hole (315).

[0140] Fig. 21 illustrates an example of a state in which a stand neck is inserted into a stand base and rotated in a first direction with respect to the stand base. Fig. 22 is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C' shown in Fig. 21. Fig. 23 is a cross-sectional view taken along line D-D' shown in Fig. 21. Fig. 24 is a cross-sectional view taken along line E-E' shown in Fig. 21. Fig. 25 is an enlarged view of a portion of the bottom surface of the stand neck and the stand base shown in Fig. 21.

[0141] Referring to FIG. 21, the stand neck (40) may be provided at a second position (P2) where the second coupling portion (410) is coupled to the first coupling portion (310). When the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the second coupling portion (410) may be coupled to the first coupling portion (310). When the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the second coupling portion (410) may be fixed to the first coupling portion (310). When the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the second coupling portion (410) may not be detached from the first coupling portion (310). When the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the second coupling portion (410) may not be separated from the first coupling portion (310). When the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the stand base (30) and the stand neck (40) can be understood as assembled.

[0142] For example, the stand neck (40) can be rotated in a first direction (R1) from a first position (P1, see FIGS. 17 to 20) to move to a second position (P2, see FIGS. 21 to 25). As the stand neck (40) is rotated in the first direction (R1) from the first position (P1), the engaging protrusion (413) accommodated in the first groove (3131) can be rotated in the first direction (R1) to be accommodated in the second groove (3132).

[0143] Referring to Fig. 22, while the stand neck (40) is in the second position (P2), the second groove (3132) may be provided to receive the engaging protrusion (413). While the stand neck (40) is in the second position (P2), the catching protrusion (314) may be provided to prevent the engaging protrusion (413) from being separated from the engaging groove (313) (see Fig. 23). When the stand neck (40) is in the second position (P2), the engaging protrusion (413) may be provided to be received in the second groove (3132) and interfere with the engaging protrusion (314) (see Fig. 23). The engaging protrusion (413) received in the second groove (3132) may be restricted from moving upward by the catching protrusion (314). Accordingly, when the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the second coupling part (410) can be provided in a state of being coupled to the first coupling part (310).

[0144] Referring to FIGS. 23 to 25, while the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the elastic block (415) may not interfere with the first coupling body (311). While the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the elastic block (415) may not interfere with the bottom portion (3111) of the first coupling body (311). While the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the elastic block (415) and the spring (414) may not be pressed by the bottom portion (3111). The elastic block (415) may not be arranged to be caught on the bottom portion (3111). The elastic block (415) may protrude from the second coupling body (411). The hanging body (4151) is accommodated inside the second coupling body (411), and the protruding body (4152) can protrude from the second coupling body (411) through the body hole (411h).

[0145] While the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the elastic block (415) can be positioned to engage with the coupling hole (315). The protruding body (4152) of the elastic block (415) can be positioned within the coupling hole (315). The first protrusion (4152a) of the protruding body (4152) can be provided to engage with the first hole (3151). The first protrusion (4152a) of the protruding body (4152) can be provided to be positioned within the first hole (3151). The second protrusion (4152b) of the protruding body (4152) can be provided to engage with the second hole (3152). The second protrusion (4152b) of the protruding body (4152) can be provided to be positioned within the second hole (3152). While the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the protruding body (4152) can be exposed to the outside through the coupling hole (315). While the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the first protrusion (4152a) of the protruding body (4152) can be exposed to the outside through the first hole (3151). While the stand neck (40) is at the second position (P2), the second protrusion (4152b) of the protruding body (4152) can be exposed to the outside through the second hole (3152).

[0146] In summary, as the stand neck (40) rotates in the first direction (R1) from the first position (P1) and moves to the second position (P2), the engaging protrusion (413) moves from the first groove (3131) to the second groove (3132) and may interfere with the catching protrusion (314). In addition, as the stand neck (40) rotates in the first direction (R1) from the first position (P1) and moves to the second position (P2), the shape of the protruding body (4152) of the elastic block (415) and the shape of the engaging hole (315) may correspond, and the elastic block (415) may be arranged so as not to interfere with the engaging body (311). That is, the elastic block (415) is not pressed by the bottom portion (3111). Accordingly, the spring (414) is also not pressurized by the elastic block (415), and the spring in the compressed state (see 414 of FIG. 19) can be restored to its original state (see 414 of FIGS. 23 and 24). For example, the second coupling portion (410) is provided in a state in which upward movement is restricted and downward movement is possible (i.e., the coupling protrusion (413) is interfered with by the catch protrusion (314), and the spring (414) can have an elastic restoring force that is directed approximately downward. By the elastic restoring force of the spring (414), the elastic block (415) can be provided to move relative to the second coupling body (411). By the elastic restoring force of the spring (414), the elastic block (415) can be provided to protrude through the coupling hole (315). Finally, as the stand neck (40) rotates in the first direction (R1) from the first position (P1) and moves to the second position (P2), the elastic block (415) can be positioned to protrude from the second coupling body (411) and engage with the coupling hole (315).In other words, as the stand neck (40) rotates in the first direction (R1) from the first position (P1) and moves to the second position (P2), the elastic block (415) moves downward by the spring (414) without interference with the first coupling body (311), and the protruding body (4152) of the elastic block (415) can be positioned within the coupling hole (315).

[0147] Meanwhile, the first joint (310) may include at least one fixed rib (3161, 3162 and / or 3163) (see FIG. 24).

[0148] For example, the first coupling portion (310) may include a first fixing rib (3161). The first fixing rib (3161) may fix a coupling protrusion (413) coupled to a coupling groove (313). The first fixing rib (3161) may fix a coupling protrusion (413) accommodated in a second groove (3132). The first fixing rib (3161) may protrude toward the second groove (3132). The first fixing rib (3161) may be arranged to contact the upper side (4132) of the coupling protrusion (413). Although the drawing illustrates two first fixing ribs (3161), the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The number of first fixing ribs (3161) may be one, or three or more may be provided. There is no limit to the number of first fixed ribs (3161).

[0149] For example, the first coupling portion (310) may include a second fixing rib (3162). The second fixing rib (3162) may fix a coupling protrusion (413) coupled to a coupling groove (313). The coupling protrusion (413) accommodated in the second groove portion (3132) may be fixed. The second fixing rib (3162) may protrude toward the second groove portion (3132). The second fixing rib (3162) may be positioned to face the first fixing rib (3161). The second fixing rib (3162) may be arranged to contact the lower side (4133) of the coupling protrusion (413). Although the drawing illustrates one second fixing rib (3162), the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Two or more second fixing ribs (3162) may be provided. There is no limit to the number of second fixed ribs (3162).

[0150] For example, the first coupling portion (310) may include a third fixing rib (3163). The third fixing rib (3163) may be formed on the inner surface of the first coupling body (311). The third fixing rib (3163) may fix the outer surface of the second coupling body (411) of the second coupling portion (410) while the first coupling portion (310) and the second coupling portion (410) are coupled. For example, the third fixing rib (3163) may be configured in plurality, and the plurality of third fixing ribs (3163) may be arranged along the circumferential direction of the first coupling body (311). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and there is no limitation on the number of third fixing ribs (3163).

[0151] While the first coupling portion (310) and the second coupling portion (410) are coupled, at least one fixed rib (3161, 3162 and / or 3163) can prevent the second coupling portion (410) from shaking relative to the first coupling portion (310). That is, the stand base (30) and the stand neck (40) can be stably coupled. The usability stability of the support device (20) can be improved.

[0152] Next, with reference to FIGS. 26 to 30, an example of a separation process of the stand base (30) and the stand neck (40) will be described. For example, the separation process of the stand base (30) and the stand neck (40) may be performed in the reverse order of the joining process of the stand base (30) and the stand neck (40) described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 25.

[0153] Fig. 26 is a bottom perspective view of a support device according to one embodiment. Fig. 27 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line F-F' shown in Fig. 26, showing an example of a state in which the elastic block is pressed. Fig. 28 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line G-G' shown in Fig. 28, showing an example of a state in which the elastic block is pressed and the stand neck is rotated in a second direction with respect to the stand base. Fig. 29 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line G-G' shown in Fig. 28. Fig. 30 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line G-G' shown in Fig. 28, showing an example of a state in which the stand neck is separated from the stand base.

[0154] Referring to FIGS. 26 and 27, the elastic block (415) of the support device (20) can be pressurized. In a state where the stand base (30) and the stand neck (40) are coupled, the elastic block (415) engaged with the coupling hole (315) can be pressed by an external force. In a state where the first coupling portion (310) and the second coupling portion (410) are coupled, the elastic block (415) exposed through the coupling hole (315) can be pressed by an external force. As the elastic block (415) is pressed, the spring (414) can also be pressed. The elastic block (415) can move upward as it is pressed, and can be accommodated inside the second coupling body (411). The spring (414) can be compressed. For example, a user can press upward on the elastic block (415) to prevent the elastic block (415) from protruding from the coupling hole (315). This prevents the elastic block (415) from engaging with the coupling hole (315) as it is pressed.

[0155] Referring to FIGS. 28 and 29, when the elastic block (415) of the support device (20) is pressed (see FIG. 27), the stand neck (40) can rotate in a second direction (R2) opposite to the first direction (R1). As the elastic block (415) engaged with the coupling hole (315) is pressed and the stand neck (40) rotates in the second direction (R2), the coupling protrusion (413) accommodated in the second groove (3132) can rotate in the second direction (R2) and be accommodated in the first groove (3131). The coupling protrusion (413) can be accommodated in the first groove (3131) without interference by the hooking body (314). The coupling protrusion (413) accommodated in the first groove (3131) may not be restricted from moving upward. The coupling protrusion (413) accommodated in the first home portion (3131) can move upward without interference with the engaging body (314). That is, the second coupling portion (410) can be separated from the first coupling portion (310).

[0156] Finally, as the elastic block (415) engaged with the coupling hole (315) is pressed and the stand neck (40) rotates in the second direction (R2), the stand neck (40) can be arranged to move from the second position (P2) to the first position (P1). As the elastic block (415) engaged with the coupling hole (315) is pressed and the stand neck (40) rotates in the second direction (R2), the stand neck (40) can be arranged to be detachable from the stand base (30).

[0157] Referring to FIG. 30, the support device (20) can be disassembled into a stand base (30) and a stand neck (40). When the elastic block (415) of the support device (20) is pressurized and the stand neck (40) is rotated in the second direction (R2) (see FIGS. 28 and 29), the stand neck (40) can move upward from the stand base (30). When the elastic block (415) of the support device (20) is pressurized and the stand neck (40) is rotated in the second direction (R2) (see FIGS. 28 and 29), the stand neck (40) can be separated from the stand base (30).

[0158] For example, when the elastic block (415) of the support device (20) is pressurized and the stand neck (40) is rotated in the second direction (R2) (see FIGS. 28 and 29), the spring in the compressed state (see 414 of FIG. 29) may want to return to its original state. For example, the second connecting portion (410) is provided in a state in which downward movement is limited and upward movement is possible (see FIGS. 28 and 29), and the spring (414) may have an elastic restoring force that is directed approximately upward. Accordingly, when the stand neck (40) moves upward from the stand base (30), the stand neck (40) can be more easily separated from the stand base (30) by the elastic restoring force of the spring (414). For example, a user can separate the stand neck (40) from the stand base (30) without applying a large amount of force.

[0159] Typically, a support device may be constructed as an assembly of several components. For example, the support device may include a stand base and a stand neck that is connected to the stand base. However, when assembling the stand base and the stand neck, separate fasteners (e.g., screws) or separate tools (e.g., a screwdriver) are required. Similarly, when disassembling the stand base and the stand neck, separate tools are required because the fasteners between the stand base and the stand neck must be disassembled.

[0160] In contrast, according to the present disclosure, the stand base (30) and the stand neck (40) can be assembled and / or disassembled without a separate fastening part (e.g., screw, etc.) or a separate tool (e.g., driver, etc.). By aligning the stand neck (40) to the stand base (30) and then rotating it within a predetermined range, the stand neck (40) can be easily coupled to the stand base (30). For example, the elastic block (415) of the stand neck (40) can be elastically protruded and engaged with the coupling hole (315) of the stand base (30). For example, the coupling protrusion (413) of the stand neck (40) can be coupled to the coupling groove (313) of the stand base (30). In addition, by rotating the stand neck (40) coupled to the stand base (30) within a predetermined range, the stand neck (40) can be easily separated from the stand base (30). For example, by pressing the elastic block (415) to rotate the stand neck (40), the stand neck (40) can be made detachable from the stand base (30). Consequently, the assembly and / or disassembly of the support device (20) according to the present disclosure becomes easier, and the user's convenience can be improved.
