Description

Folding laptop holder for car

[0001] The present invention relates to a laptop stand for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a foldable laptop stand for a vehicle that can be easily and firmly mounted on a handlebar while the vehicle is stopped, and can be used to hold a laptop in various forms, can be folded up and raised when getting out of the vehicle in an installed state, and can be easily folded and stored after use, thereby maximizing ease of installation, convenience of use, and portability and storage by folding after use.

[0002] Recent laptops are easy to carry, allowing them to be used anywhere, and they have the advantage of being able to be used even inside a car.

[0003] Drivers use laptops in cars when the car is stopped and stationary, and they usually use them by placing them on their laps while sitting in the seat.

[0004] However, as mentioned above, the use of a laptop has the disadvantage of requiring the driver to raise his or her knees and use it while resting the laptop on his or her knees, and the stability of the laptop stand is reduced due to the shaking of the laptop support when working with the laptop on his or her knees.

[0005] In addition, it is difficult to install a laptop stand in the driver's seat where the car steering wheel is formed. When the driver stops to work on the laptop, he or she has to rely on the steering wheel, twist his or her body excessively to avoid the steering wheel, or adjust the seat to maintain a bad posture while using the computer, which causes fatigue.

[0006] Accordingly, in order for drivers to conveniently use their laptops in the correct posture, there is a need for a laptop stand that can be easily attached and detached from the steering wheel, as well as a laptop stand that can be quickly removed from the steering wheel and safely driven.

[0007] For this purpose, a 'laptop computer holder detachable from the steering wheel' such as Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

[0008] The above-mentioned patent document 1 has the disadvantage of low compatibility due to the limitation of installation depending on the handle of automobiles that have been diversifying recently, the disadvantage of not having a strong supporting force due to the difference in the diameter of the handle since the installation work is simply to hang it on the handle by inserting the mounting hook formed at the top of the mounting vertical bar, the disadvantage of not being able to adjust the angle of the base plate that supports the laptop and the disadvantage of not being able to maintain the angle support state according to the weight of the laptop that is placed because the supporting force is weak, and the disadvantage of being inconvenient to fold or unfold when the driver gets in or out of the car while using the laptop.

[0009] In addition, there is no means to prevent the laptop from sliding down when placed on a stand with an angle adjusted, so when the angle of the stand is large, there is a disadvantage in that the laptop may slide down while working, which is inconvenient during work.

[0010] [Prior Art Literature]

[0051] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0052] In the description of the present invention, the structure and size of the components presented in the drawings may be simplified or simplified as long as it does not cause problems in the description of the invention.

[0053] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention in a folded state, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the present invention in an unfolded state, and Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a part of a component of the present invention.

[0054] Referring to these drawings, the vehicle-use foldable laptop stand of the present invention is largely divided into a base portion (100), a support portion (200) that folds from the base portion, and a handle clamping portion (300) that fixes the base portion (100) and the support portion (200) in an unfolded state.

[0055] The present invention is used by folding and storing components formed by industrial injection molding using aluminum material, unfolding them in an assembled state, and installing them in a supported state on a vehicle's steering wheel (10) and a dashboard (20) on which the steering wheel is installed.

[0056] The support member (100) is composed of a pair of supports (110, 110), front and rear support members (120, 121) that are installed overlappingly between the pair of supports, a pair of upper link members (130, 130) and a lower link member (140, 140) that are assembled so that one side can rotate about an axis with a rivet shaft pin (R / P) at the upper and lower sides between the front and rear supports, and the other side can rotate about an axis with a rivet shaft pin (R / P) at the upper and lower sides of the pair of supports (110, 110).

[0057] When the user holds the above pair of supports (110, 110) with both hands and spreads them apart, the upper and lower link members (130, 130) and (140, 140) rotate around the respective rivet pins (R / P) of the axial function in the front and rear support members (120, 121), thereby adjusting the width.

[0058] At this time, the pair of upper link members (130, 130) and lower link members (140, 140) are assembled in a state where the respective sector gears (131, 131) (141, 141) machined at the ends between the front and rear support members (120, 121) are meshed with each other, and the spread state between the pair of supports (110, 110) is fixed by angle setting.

[0059] Meanwhile, the pair of supports (110, 110) are each provided with first and second storage holes (150, 160) that are machined in two rows on the lower side, and first and second support rods (170, 180) that are assembled into the first and second storage holes with a pivot pin (P) and protrude by a 90-degree rotation.

[0060] At this time, each of the first and second storage holes (150, 160) is formed as a narrow through hole with a smaller outer diameter than the first and second support rods (170, 180) on the rear inner side so that the first and second support rods (170, 180) can rotate 90 degrees in one direction and protrude, so that the user can push his finger in the narrow hole side of the first and second storage holes (150, 160) and rotate the first and second support rods (170, 180) around the pivot pin (P) to protrude 90 degrees and support the lower edge of the notebook body.

[0061] The support member (200) is composed of a pair of supports (210, 210) that are folded by rotating the setting shaft bolt (B / T) upward around the setting shaft bolt (B / T) while being assembled through respective shaft holes machined in the shaft boss (111) integrally protruding on the upper portion of each of the pair of supports (110, 110) and the opposing shaft boss (211), and a pair of support support pieces (220) that are assembled on the upper portion of each of the pair of supports with a rivet shaft pin (R / P) and rotated inwardly at 90 degrees.

[0062] At this time, each of the support pieces (220) is processed with a rotation restriction guide groove (221) on the inside, and correspondingly, a stopper projection (215) is formed protrudingly on each of the support members (210, 210), and the inward rotation is restricted to 90 degrees of unfolding rotation and 90 degrees of folding rotation with the rivet shaft pin (R / P) as the axis.

[0063] And the above pair of supports (210, 210) are configured such that a notebook support piece (230) protrudes in a 90-degree direction from each of the above-mentioned shaft bosses (211), so that when the supports (210, 210) are unfolded, the lower edge surface of the notebook body can be supported without slipping down.

[0064] The fixation of the unfolding angle of the pair of supports (210, 210) in the pair of supports (110, 110) is set by the handle clamping part (300).

[0065] The above handle clamping part (300) is composed of a shaft assembly piece (312) that is integrally formed and protrudes from the shaft boss (111) of the pair of supports (110, 110), a fixed clamp (310) that is screw-assembled to the shaft assembly piece with a screw rod (320) and has a pressure plate (330) detachably assembled to the tip of the screw rod (320), and a pair of handle rear support pieces (350, 350) that are assembled to a storage hole (340) that penetrates the pair of supports (210, 210) with a shaft pin (P) and rotates 90 degrees in one direction.

[0066] The storage hole (340) is formed as a narrow through hole with a smaller outer diameter than the outer diameter of the rear support pieces (350, 350) on the rear side so that the pair of rear support pieces (350, 350) can rotate 90 degrees in one direction, so that a user can push his finger in the narrow hole side of the storage hole (340) and rotate it around the pivot pin (P) to rotate it 90 degrees and support the rear of the vehicle's steering wheel (10).

[0067] According to the present invention, the width between the pair of supports (110, 110) is adjusted by rotating the respective rivet shaft pins (R / P) of the pair of upper and lower link members (130, 130), (140, 140) and the front and rear support members (120, 121), and the pair of supports (210, 210) are fixed by hinge rotation with the setting shaft bolts (B / T) while being inserted into the lower inner side of the handle (10), and each of the support support pieces (220) is unfolded so as to be in close contact with the lower part of the dashboard (20), and the handle rear support piece (350) is unfolded by axial rotation by pushing one side in the storage hole (340), and the fixing clamp (310) is moved forward by screw rotation to be in close contact with the front of the handle (10) and fixedly installed and used.

[0068] The specific installation and operation according to the use of the present invention are described in detail.

[0069] Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the width of the support on both sides of the support part is adjusted and unfolded according to the use of the present invention, and Fig. 5 is a front view showing a stage in which the width of the support on both sides of the support part according to Fig. 4 is adjusted and unfolded.

[0070] Referring to these drawings, when the driver's car (vehicle) is stopped in a safe parking space and the support members (110, 110) on both sides of the support member (100) are opened, the front and rear support members (130, 140) and the upper and lower link members (120, 121) connected to the axis by a rivet pin (R / P) rotate the axis to expand to a predetermined width.

[0071] FIG. 6 is a view of the support of the support member in an unfolded state according to the use of the present invention, FIG. 6a is a perspective view, FIG. 6b is a front view, and FIG. 6c is a photograph of the state in which it is installed on the steering wheel of a vehicle.

[0072] That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, after the width of the upper and lower link members (120, 121) is expanded, the support members (210, 210) on both sides of the support member (200) that was folded on the support members (110, 110) on both sides are unfolded by hinge rotation using the setting shaft bolt (B / T).

[0073] At this time, the pair of supports (110, 110) can be used with the width as wide as possible, as shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b.

[0074] In other words, a pair of stands (110, 110) can be used by unfolding them to fit the handle (10).

[0075] Fig. 7 is a diagram showing the maximum unfolding of the support portion and the unfolded state of the support portion according to the use of the present invention, where Fig. 7a is a perspective view and Fig. 7b is a front view.

[0076] That is, a pair of supports (210, 210) are placed at the bottom of the handle (10) of the car (vehicle) while being unfolded from the stand (110, 110).

[0077] At this time, each support piece (220) assembled to be rotatable 90 degrees with a ribbed pin (R / P) at the end of a pair of supports (210, 210) is rotated inward and placed at the bottom of the handle (10) in an unfolded state.

[0078] In this state, as shown in Fig. 7c, the handle rear support piece (350) of the handle clamping part (300) is pushed from the storage hole (340) and rotated around the pivot pin (P) to protrude and come into close contact with the rear of the handle (10).

[0079] In this state, as shown in Fig. 7d, the support member (220) of each support member (210) is in close contact with the lower surface of the vehicle's dashboard (20), and the fixing clamp (310) is moved forward by screw rotation on the screw rod (320) of the shaft assembly member (312) from the front of the handle (100) to firmly attach the pressure plate (330) to the front of the handle (10), thereby completing the installation as shown in Fig. 7e.

[0080] After completing the installation, you can use the laptop in various ways, such as in Figure 8, or by using it as a table.

[0081] That is, as in Fig. 8a, a laptop and a keyboard can be used by placing them on the table, as in Fig. 8b, another laptop can be used by placing them on the table, and as in Fig. 8c, a laptop and a table can be placed on the table and a keyboard and mouse can be used on the table.

[0082] And, by selectively protruding the first and second support bars (170, 180) of the first and second storage holes (150, 160) provided in the pair of stands (110, 110) respectively, the lower edge of the notebook body is supported to prevent it from slipping off, or

[0083] The above pair of supports (210, 210) can be used in a supported state without slipping by supporting the lower edge of the notebook body using the notebook support piece (230) protruding from each of the above-mentioned shaft bosses (211).

[0084] In addition, as shown in Fig. 9, when the driver gets off the vehicle, the support (110, 110) of the support part (100) can be raised to allow the driver to get off smoothly, and after getting back on, the support (110, 110) can be used by unfolding it horizontally.
