[0001] SMARTPHONE SAFETY CORD (SSC)
[0002] INTRODUCTION
[0003] In modern world, mobile devices, like a smartphone, tablet and the like, have become an important part of our daily lives. The mobile ecosystem has transformed millions of lives. Today, nine out of 10 adults around the world own a mobile device.
[0004] We often use them to conduct business (drivers, couriers, medical and sales representatives, bloggers, etc.), transfer money, do shopping both online and offline using the NFC technology (shops, cafes, entertainment centers, etc.), to gain access to the internet, educational programmes and improve access to healthcare, for personal identification, for games, navigating, communications both via mobile communications and via the Internet (chats, audio and video calls), taking photos, making videos and much more.
[0005] Kids get their first mobile device around the age of 12. The latest research reveals that 56% of children aged between 8 and 12 have a cell phone. It becomes even more fascinating to know that 21% of kids who are eight or younger use a smartphone.
[0006] This shows how much smart phones have become a part of our lives, allowing us to interconnect with one another with ease.
[0007] These devices are always with us and almost everywhere. And these places and situations in which we use these devices are not always safe for the devices themselves. According to recent findings, an average person casually checks their phone about 63 times a day.
[0008] Some people check their phones countless times in a day, especially GenZ, GenX, and Millenials. Statistics on US smartphone use for 2020 reveal that a staggering 65.6% of Americans check their phones up to 160 times daily. Immediate access to such devices is needed in order to stay connected to other people.
[0009] Many people hold or carry these mobile devices in a pocket, a purse or a hand throughout the day. As a result, these devices can be easily dropped. Not surprisingly, the biggest danger to smartphones is falling, thereby causing damage or resulting in the loss of the device. Most common 74% of smartphone damage is caused by dropping on the ground.
[0010] Probably, there will not be a single owner of a smartphone, who had never dropped it from his hands. Almost 15% of smartphones sold have to have their screen repaired within the first year of purchase. The Average Time from Purchase to Break is Approximately 10 Weeks, and a lot of breaks happen even before that.
[0011] Most often smartphones fall from our hands when we take them out, put them down, transfer them, or otherwise change their location. People drop their smartphones when they take it out of their pocket, put it in their pocket, take a picture or shoot a video. Often a smartphone falls out of a hand because a person forgot that he was holding it in his hand, relaxed the muscles of his hand a little, or someone knocked out a person's hand, or the smartphone slipped out of his hand. The smartphone can fall on a hard surface (tiles, concrete, asphalt, stones), in a liquid (water, drinks), which may damage the smartphone.
[0012] So, every second owner of a smartphone in the world broke his display. In 50% of cases, this is an accidental falling out of the hands, 32% - falling out of the pocket, 27% - falling from the knees when standing up.
[0013] Following the damage to the smartphone as a result of its fall to the ground, there is a fall into the water, and, well, getting the smartphone into the toilet. Yes, this case really claimed the lives of millions of devices.
[0014] Thus, it's good if you somehow managed to prevent a fall or if such a fall did not lead to negative consequences for the smartphone itself (dents, cracks, chips and other damage to the case, glass or screen, or even when the smartphone cannot be restored at all, because, for example, it was drowned or completely destroyed). It's annoying to say the least. Good smartphones cost a lot, their repair is also quite expensive.
[0015] In addition, a phone's birth is the most contaminating part of its life cycle: more than 80% of each device's carbon footprint is generated at the manufacturing stage. This is due to the mining, refining, transport and assembly of the dozens of chemical elements that make up cutting-edge tech.
[0016] However, because most of the carbon emissions occur during manufacturing, the best way to reduce the carbon footprint of your smartphone is by being mindful about the device itself.
[0017] The average smartphone has a lifespan of two years. Without recycling the retired device, generates toxic waste and squandering materials. In addition, when people throw their smartphones away, they usually end up in municipal landfills. All smartphones and smartphone chargers contain toxic hazardous materials like bromine, cadmium, chlorine, lead and mercury, which can end up in public drinking water and food sources.
[0018] The model is unsustainable. While any waste is ultimately harmful to the environment, electronics that become e-waste have an undeniable impact on the environment.
[0019] Research has shown that extending the lifespan of smartphones and other electronic devices by just one year can save as much carbon emissions as taking two million cars off the road each year.
[0020] Pebble writes. "If you keep your phone for twice as long, you almost halve the total annual footprint".
[0021] The rising trend of smartphone lifetime is that You have to take matters into your own hands by using and disposing of your smartphones responsibly to increase smartphone sustainability and mitigate the environmental damage, eliminate waste that goes to landfill, with every high-end smartphone.
[0022] In addition, there is a shortage of microchips in the world now, which are used in all electronic devices, including smartphones. Many devices have been invented to protect smartphones. The most popular means of protection now are various covers, protective films and glasses for screens. They do not provide absolute protection, but only reduce the concentration of impact force, minimizing damage after a fall, but do not protect against the fall itself. And if films and glasses practically do not change the appearance of a smartphone, a variety of covers change both the appearance and tactile sensations. Therefore, all the work of / smartphone designers will eventually be hidden behind a case. Many people deliberately take risks and use their smartphones without a case. According to Statistia, about 20% of smartphone owners go caseless.
[0023] Here are some benefits of case-free living:
[0024] • Smaller and Lighter: Without a case, your smartphone will be thinner and lighter, fitting more easily into a pocket or a purse. That also means rubber cases won't get snagged on fabric or accumulate lint. The smartphone really is, for a lot of people, an extension of themselves, even to the point of associating its measurements with your idealized physique.
[0025] • Better Looking: Many people buy beautiful smartphones then hide them in generic black cases. Without a case, you can show the world the color and beauty of your smartphone's native design. Case- free fanatics say that it feels like a crime to put a case on the nicest smartphone ever made.
[0026] But you're paying not only with money for the possible repairs but also with the increased attention and thoughtfulness this unprotected item demands. Countless times a day, you'll have to hold, retrieve, or stow your caseless smartphone with conscious care and alertness. That's a hard price to pay.
[0027] There are means that protect against falling, but they do not provide constant "insurance" for the smartphone from falling at all stages of its use. They fix it in one of the positions of use, but during the change of position, the smartphone is absolutely not protected. Besides, as a rule, they are not universal, not functional and not convenient, and therefore not very common. Others are too expensive or have not taken root for some reason.
[0028] This device allows you to prevent an accidental fall of the smartphone during use or carrying, while providing increased usability. The device is configured to prevent the smartphone from contacting the ground if the user inadvertently drops the smartphone, and therefore significantly reduces the risk of damage to the smartphone. The device further provides for a flexible attachment of the device to the user or almost any item of his apparel and accessories or even other objects in a host of ways in a variety of physical locations, so that cord (3) or ribbon (9) of the device fits comfortably about the user's body.
[0029] A separation mechanism may be also incorporated to allow the smartphone to be easily detached from the device.
[0030] It can be used with or without a case. The device can be either universal for all smartphones, or individual for a specific model or group of smartphones. It is multifunctional, as it can be easily used both in everyday life with any clothes, and during sports, outdoor recreation and even swimming.
[0031] The present invention is designed to work with accessories described further as well as with previously available device mounting mechanisms so that if a device is knocked from the mounting mechanism or dropped, it will not fall to the ground where it can be lost or damaged.
[0032] Still furthermore , small portable electronics device can easily be forgotten and lost , which is also undesirable. In addition, smartphones are a favorite target for thieves. As a bonus, this device reduces the risk of loss or of smartphone theft, as it is physically attached to a person with a help of this device, which is an additional barrier for intruders.
[0033] This invention is designed to eliminate many of the problems that currently exist with conventional methods of carrying a smartphone, as well as increase the convenience of carrying a smartphone.
[0034] A number of advantages of the present invention, from the description above, are evident: it secures smart phones continually; it enables the users to use smartphones normally while the smart phones are secured; it provides new methods and means of holding, carrying and storing smartphones, more convenient for the user and safe for the smartphones then ever before.
[0035] TECHNICAL FIELD
[0036] This invention relates generally to security devices and methods for suitably and continually protecting and holding portable handheld devices, such as cell phones, mobile or cordless phones, smart phones, cameras, tablets and laptop computer, e-readers, fitness trackers, smart watches, pagers, GPS devices, music players etc. from falling and thus being damaged. Personal item is securely attached to a person, an item of apparel or accessories worn by the person, or other objects. This invention also relates generally to devices for transporting, storage and holding personal items and more particularly to a suspension storage Lanyard device, wearable device for holding items of personal property, and a smart phone stand, in particular to use smart phone stand on bicycle, user's arm, belt, pants, etc..
[0037] The utility model can also relate to an anti-theft (anti-stealing) device of a smart phone.
[0038] This invention will not only greatly reduce the possibilities of loss, breakage and defacement of the phone. It also will allow one to comfortably carry a cell phone when one's clothing has no pockets, belt or belt line to clip a phone to, such as dresses and bathing suits.
[0039] DESCRIPTION
[0040] Figure 1 - the design of the Smartphone Safety Cord (SSC). The cord for a smartphone consists of a smartphone mount (1), a safety mount (2), a cord (3) connecting the smartphone mount (1) to a safety mount (2), and a cord length regulator (4).
[0041] The general scheme of the SSC is shown in the Figure 414 and looks like this: 1. The first item in this scheme is, of course, a smartphone, since the SSC is intended for it.
[0042] 2. A case can be put on the smartphone to further protect the smartphone or add functionality to the smartphone, but the smartphone can also be used without a smartphone case.
[0043] 3. Connector I - connector for attaching to a smartphone (5). The connector is somehow connected to a smartphone. It is designed for quick and easy fastening of the smartphone mount (1). Connector I, as well as a case, is not an obligatory element of the SSC and may be absent if the user does not need it.
[0044] 4. Smartphone mount (1) is a mandatory element of the SSC and is designed to mount the SSC to a smartphone directly, or through a smartphone case or connector I. But there is one exception. If the SSC can be tied to a smartphone, case or connector I using the SSC cord (3) and this method of fastening suits the user, there may not be physical attachment to the smartphone (5). Its role and function in this case is assumed by the end of the cord (3) of the SSC. Also in the case when the ribbon (9), used instead of the cord (3) in the SSC, is glued directly to the smartphone or smartphone case, then in fact the adhesive composition performs the function of attaching to the smartphone (5).
[0045] 5. The basis of the SSC is cord (3), on which all other elements of the SSC are fixed.
[0046] 6. In the center of the SSC there is (are) a regulator (s) for the length of the SSC cord.
[0047] 7. The safety mount (2) completes the design of the SSC, which is directly or through connector II attached to the SSC attachment point and is designed to keep the smartphone from falling on the surface under it due to a strong reliable connection with the SSC attachment point. A safety mount (2), as well as a mount for a smartphone (5) and a cord (3), are an indispensable element of the SSC. But, just like the smartphone mount (1), there is one exception. If the SSC can be tied to the attachment point of the SSC with the help of the SSC cord (3) and this method of fastening suits the user, there may not be physically a safety mount (2). Its role and function in this case is assumed by the end of the cord (3) of the SSC.
[0048] 8. Connector II - connector for safety mount (2). The connector is connected in one way or another to the fastening point of the SSC. It is designed for fast and convenient fastening of the safety mount (2) to the place of fastening of the SSC. Connector 11, as well as connector I, is not an obligatory element of the SSC and may be absent if the user does not need it.
[0049] All optional elements of the SSC shown in Scheme on Figure 414 are in brackets.
[0050] Further, we will analyze in more detail all the components of the SSC: their functions, designs and principles of operation.
[0051] Smartphone mount (1) is attached to smartphone (5). Smartphone mount (1) can be of any shape and design and serves to attach cord (3) to smartphone (5) directly or using various mediators (case (6), connector I (7)). There may be no attachment to a smartphone (5) at all In the design of the SSC. In this case, cord (3) is tied directly to smartphone (5), case (6) or connector I (7). The safety mount (2) can also have any shape and design and is designed to fasten the cord (3) to an object (person's clothing, accessories, other objects, parts of the human body or to the SSC cord) capable of holding the smartphone (5) on the cord (3) and preventing the smartphone (5) from colliding with surfaces under it in case it falls. .
[0052] I. Safety mount (2) can be attached to a person's daily clothing:
[0053] 1. Directly to the fabric, like a badge clip or braces clip. Figures 2 and 3 show the use of a smartphone (5) with a SSC, where the safety mount (2) of the SSC is attached to the clothing to the sleeve (10) of a T-shirt. The safety mount (2) of the SSC can also be fixed on other parts of a person's clothing, for example, on the collar (11) of a T-shirt or any other clothing (Figure 4 and Figure 5), the neck (12) (Figures 39-42), or on the clothes shelves (13) (Figure 6 and Figure 7);
[0054] 2. To the buttonholes, belt loops and eyelets on clothes and accessories.
[0055] A) belt loop. The SSC safety mount (2) in the form of a clip for suspenders is threaded through the loop (14) for the belt (15) for pants (cloak belts, coats, and so on) and is attached to it (Figures 8 - 11);
[0056] B) buttonhole. Figure 12 shows the top of the shirt. It can be a polo, a T-shirt, a blazer, a coat, a sheepskin coat, a jacket, etc. Through one of the unfastened buttonholes (16), a safety mount (2) in the form of a clip for braces is threaded (Figure 12 and Figure 13);
[0057] C) other loops, including special ones.
[0058] II. Also, the SSC safety mount (2) can be attached to standard (for example, various chains, bracelets, chokers, beads) or special accessories for SSC, such as, but not limited to this list:
[0059] - smartphone case (17), which is attached to other objects, for example, on a person's belt (Figure 14 and Figure 15);
[0060] - bracelet (18) on a person's wrist (Figure 16 and Figure 17);
[0061] - chain (19) or choker around a person's neck (Figure 18 and Figure 19);
[0062] In addition to all of the above, the SSC safety mount (2) can be attached to various items: bags, suitcases, etc.
[0063] III. SSC safety mount (2) can be attached to the cord (3) itself or connector I (7), thus forming a loop, which makes it possible to hang, fasten and wear the SSC on the wrist (20) (Figure 24), on the person's neck (20) (Figure 20 and Figure 21) or on the crossbar in the form of a pipe (20), for example, handrails in transport (Figures 22, 23 and Figures 25 - 32), steering wheel (21) of a twowheeled vehicle (bicycle, scooter, motorcycle ...), headrest (22) in transport, etc.
[0064] A closed pipe (20) (Figure 35) is a pipe with two closed ends, while in an open one, one of its ends is not closed (Figure 36). Classical examples of an open pipe (20) would be: a person's arm and neck, the headrests of a car, the retractable handle of a suitcase.
[0065] Handrails in vehicles are typically an example of a closed tube. On the example of the headrest, we can see that the headrest (22) itself is entirely an open pipe (20) (Figure 33) and a loop can be put on top of it. At the same time, the metal legs of the headrest (23) are each an example of a closed tube (20) when the headrest (22) is installed in the car seat (24) (Figure 33) and opens when removed (Figure 34).
[0066] If the SSC includes a cord length regulator in the form of a cord fixator (4), the SSC can form both a closed loop "A" and an opening loop "B".
[0067] Cord (3), which goes from smartphone mount (1) and safety mount (2), enters the holes in the SS length adjustment cord fixator (4) and exits from the opposite side of the SSC length adjustment retainer (4), forming a loop "A". The loop "A" formed from the cord (3) and the cord fixator (4) for adjusting the length of the SSC is closed and cannot be put on a closed pipe.
[0068] You can pass your arm or neck into the loop "A" and, using the cord fixator (4), adjust the diameter of this loop "A" so that the cord (3) does not pinch the wrist or neck, but at the same time securely fixes the SSC on the wrist or neck.
[0069] Unlike the permanently closed loop "A", which can only be worn on an open pipe, neck or wrist, the opening loop "B" can also be worn on a closed pipe. At the same time, when fastened on the wrist, the loop "A" due to the presence of a smaller number of parts of the SC accessories in contact with the skin of the wrist, can be more comfortable than the loop "B".
[0070] Opening loop "B" can be put on a closed pipe in an open form and only then closed, by attaching a safety mount (2) to the connector 1 (7) or cord (3).
[0071] Let's consider possible options for fastening the SSC, when there is a cord fixator (4):
[0072] 1. When attaching the safety mount (2) to the connector I (7), the connector I (7), the smartphone mount (1), the cord fixator (4) of the SSC length regulator and the safety mount (2) attached to the connector I (7) form a vicious circle - an opening loop "B". In this form, the SSC is put on the pipe or wrist (20) with loop "A" (Figure 23 and 24) or loop "B" (Figure 22).
[0073] Safety mount (2) at the user's choice, or due to lack of technical capability (depending on the presence and type of connector II (8), type of safety mount (2)) can also be attached to different places on the cord (3) of the SSC:
[0074] 2. - to the section "C" of the cord (3) of the SSC from the smartphone mount (1) to the cord fixator (4) of the length regulator of the SSC and can be put on both with the loop "A" (Figure 28) and the loop "B" (Figure 25);
[0075] 3. - to the section "D" of the cord (3) of the SSC from the safety mount (2) to the cord fixator (4) of the length regulator of the SSC and can be put on with the loop "B" (Figure 26) or the loop "A" (Figure 32); 4. - to the loop "A", forming a loop "B" between the safety mount (2) and the cord fixator (4) of the SSC length regulator from which the loop "A" emerges. So it can be put on with the loop "B" (Figure 27) or the loop "A" (Figure 31);
[0076] 5. When put on the loop "A", the safety mount (2) can be fixed on the connector I (7) of the smartphone attachment to the SSC as shown in Figure 23, also the safety mount (2) can be either fixed on the SSC (Figure 28), it may not be fixed at all (Figure 29), or additionally attached to clothing, accessory or object (Figure 30).
[0077] With the help of the cord fixator (4), we can adjust the length of the SSC and, accordingly, the distance from the pipe (20) to the smartphone (5).
[0078] If the safety mount (2) is not attached to the connector I (7) of the smartphone mount (1) (Figures 25- 32), the length of the cord (3) of the smartphone mount (1) and the cord (3) of the safety mount (2) going out of the cord fixator (4) can be maximally asymmetric. The shorter the cord (3) of the smartphone mount (1), the closer the smartphone (5) will be fixed to the cord fixator (4) on the wrist (20) (pipe, neck, etc.), and vice versa.
[0079] Thus, both on an open and a closed pipe (20), SSC having cord fixator (4), can be fixed in the ways shown in Figures 22, 25, 26, 27 and described above. In all other cases - SSC can be put on not closed pipe only. In the case of absence of cord fixator (4) on SSC, only 2 methods remain, shown in Figure 22 and Figures 25 and 26. The methods shown in Figures 25 and 26, in the absence of cord fixator (4), merge into one.
[0080] It should be noted that both of these methods make it possible to mount the SSC both on a closed and on an open pipe (20).
[0081] Among the possible places for transporting and storing a smartphone, we can distinguish the most common:
[0082] - In the pockets of clothes. Very often, people carry a smartphone in the pocket of their clothes (pants, shorts, jacket, coat, etc.). Figures 9, 10 and 11 show the use of a SSC and a smartphone (5) in a pocket (25) of pants. Smartphone (5) is in the pocket (25) of pants. To the connector I (7) in the form of a ring on the smartphone (5) with the help of a smartphone mount (1) in the form of a carabiner and a cord (3), a SSC is attached. At the other end of the cord (3) of SSC, the safety mount (2) in the form of a clip for braces is threaded through the loop (14) for the pants belt and thus fixed on the pants belt. Cord length adjuster (4) is set to a safe and comfortable length of SSC;
[0083] - In a purse or briefcase. In this case, the smartphone is safe only when it is inside the bag. At the moment when a person takes it out, uses or puts a smartphone back into a bag, it is at risk and can fall out of hand. Therefore, the use of SSC will reduce the risk of damage to the smartphone in case of an unwanted fall;
[0084] - In the hand (Figures 2 - 8 and Figures 16 - 19). There are a lot of reasons why a person can carry a smartphone in his hand: from the fact that there is nowhere else to put it (pockets are small, occupied or there is no pocket at all; shorts or pants without a belt and it is not convenient to walk with a heavy smartphone in your pocket because of this the pants slide down , etc.) to the banal "so convenient", especially when using a smartphone frequently, since its use in one way or another most often requires interaction with human hands. When a person carries a smartphone in his hand, this is one of the most unsafe places for a smartphone: the hand may sweat; a person can think, get distracted and forget that he is holding a smartphone in his hand, and involuntarily relax his hand; a person can touch the hand in which he is holding a smartphone, an object or a passer-by, after that the smartphone may slip out of his hand. SSC is just very necessary in such a situation.;
[0085] - In a special case on the belt (17) (Figure 14 and Figure 15). With increase in size of smartphones, belt cases for the phones have become less popular due to the discomfort when a person sits down with such a case, but nevertheless they deserve our attention.;
[0086] - In a sealed case to prevent water from entering the smartphone. Such a case is already well known and people often use it for underwater shooting, or where there is a risk of getting a lot of moisture on the smartphone. They are usually sold with their own bands for attaching to the neck or arm, but the use of SSC has a number of advantages over them. SSC can be freely used with a standard waterproof case and does not require any modification of its design. Figure 37 shows one of the existing designs of a sealed case (26) for smartphone (5), which allows smartphone (5) to be used in and under water. It consists of a silicone case (27), a pressure plate (28) and locks (29), which ensure the tightness of the silicone case (27) in the closed position of the locks (29), as well as an eyelet (30), through which the smartphone mount (1) can be attached directly or through the connector I (7), if the smartphone mount (1) cannot be connected to eyelet (30) directly. Figure 38 shows a sealed case (26) with a smartphone (5) inside.;
[0087] -In a sports case (31) on the arm for a smartphone (Figures 41-44). People often use these cases while jogging or doing other sports, but same as with bags, belt pouch or pockets, a smartphone is only relatively safe when it's inside a sports case;
[0088] - On a bicycle holder for a smartphone (32). In this case, the safety mount (2) can be fixed both on the clothes and accessories of the cyclist, and on the handlebars (21) of the bicycle (scooter, moped, motorcycle, etc.). Below we consider both cases in more detail.
[0089] A) to clothing or accessories of the cyclist. The SSC can be used while cycling, as shown in Figure 39, where the smartphone (5) is attached to the bicycle smartphone holder (32), and Figure 40, where the smartphone (5) is in the user's hand. In these figures, the safety mount (2) is attached to the front (13) of the cyclist's dress. This position is most comfortable and safe when cycling, especially for short distances. If you fasten the safety mount (2) below, the smartphone (5) may not fall to the ground, but it may hit the pedal unit, which may also cause damage to the smartphone. When we drive a short distance, it is convenient and safe for us to attach the smartphone (5) to us, since the risk of damaging the smartphone (5) at the moment we remove it from the smartphone holder on the steering wheel (32) is reduced. The safety mount (2) of the SSC turns out to be permanently fixed on the user, regardless of whether the person is currently riding a bicycle or has gone shopping, for example.
[0090] B) on the handlebars of a bicycle. If a person rides a bicycle for a long time and continuously, he can fix the smartphone (5) on the handlebars (21) by placing it on the smartphone holder (32) and fixing it with the SSC to the handlebars (21), similar to how the SSC is fixed on the pipe (20) in Figure 23, adjusting the position of the retainer (4) on the cord (3) in such a way that the retainer (4) is as close as possible to the safety mount (2) and, in fact, the loop of the cord (3), which comes out of the retainer (4), will act as the safety mount (2). Thus, a person will receive an absolute freedom of action and independence from a smartphone (5) and a safety mount (2). Other methods of belaying a smartphone (5) using bicycle handlebars (21) described above (Figures 25-29 and Figures 31 and 32) can also be used.
[0091] Not every place where the safety mount (2) is attached to the body, clothes, accessories or objects is safe for the smartphone (5) given the cord (3) length that is comfortable to use.
[0092] In daily life, a person can fasten a SSC safety mount (2) on his body in such places:
[0093] - in the waist line area, for example, by the loop (14) for the belt (Figures 8-10), by the special case (17) for the smartphone, which is attached to the belt (Figure 14 and Figure 15);
[0094] - in the chest area, for example, by the sleeve (10) of a T-shirt (Figure 2 and Figure 3), by the front (13) of a shirt, T-shirt or other outerwear (Figure 6 and Figure 7);
[0095] - in the neck area, for example, by the unfastened buttonhole (16), passing the safety mount (2) through the hole of the buttonhole (16) (Figure 12 and Figure 13); by the neck (12) (Figures 39-42) or the collar (11) of outerwear (Figure 4 and Figure 5); by the chain (19) or a choker around a person's neck (Figure 18 and Figure 19);
[0096] - on the neck, hanging the SSC on the person's neck, having previously closed the SSC into a ring by attaching the safety mount (2) to the cord (3) or connector I (7) (Figure 20 and Figure 21). Thus the SSC hanging around the neck with the smart phone will allow the user to do virtually anything with two hands and can also be comfortably worn with garments without pockets, like bathing suits and dresses;
[0097] - on the wrist, in which the person holds the smartphone (5), by the bracelet (18) (Figure 16 and Figure 17);
[0098] - on the wrist of the opposite hand of the one in which the person holds the smartphone (5), by the bracelet (18) (Figure 43 and Figure 44), for example, while jogging, when the smartphone (5) is on the sports smartphone holder (31);
[0099] Figures 45, 46 and 47 clearly show the trajectory of the movement of the human hand "I". At point "E" in Figures 45 and 46, it intersects with the trajectory of the movement of the SSC "II". The trajectory of the movement of the human hand "I" shows the maximum possible distance of the smartphone from the human body in the process of its use. Point "E" shows the maximum distance of the smartphone from the human body on an outstretched arm forward or to the side. Usually, a person uses a smartphone with the arm partially bent at the elbow joint. But when you need to take a selfie, a person can extend his arm as much as possible to its entire length. We need point ”E" to build the trajectory of the movement of the SSC, where the center of the radius of the trajectory of the movement of the SSC is located at the attachment point of the safety mount (2), and the circle of the trajectory of the movement of the SSC passes through the point ”E".
[0100] In the case of fixing the safety mount (2) at the waist line (position "0") and with the length of the SSC sufficient for use on the outstretched arm of a person (the trajectory of the movement of the arm "I") in Figure 45 it is clearly seen that the trajectory of the movement of the SSC "II" is above the surface ground, and, therefore, most likely and with a high degree of probability, the smartphone during the fall will not touch the ground and remain intact.
[0101] It is necessary to take into account the size of the smartphone and the place of attachment of the SSC to the smartphone when choosing the length of the cord (3), since these parameters may affect the position of the extreme points of the trajectory of the movement of the SSC and the smartphone, they may differ.
[0102] Figure 46 shows that when the safety mount is fixed in the neck area (position “0*"), the trajectory of movement of the SSC "III" is much higher and only slightly deviates from the trajectory of movement of the hand "1".
[0103] Figure 47 shows the movement trajectories "IV" of the SSC when fixing the safety mount (2) below the waist line in the thigh area (position "0**") and the movement trajectories "V" of the SSC - on the waist line (position "0") with a cord length sufficient for comfortable communication on a smartphone, holding it at the user's head. If in the previous two cases (Figure 45 and Figure 46) there was taken into account the length of the SSC, which is comfortable not only for talking on a smartphone, but also for using a smartphone with the arm outstretched to the side, for example, for taking a selfie, the maximum comfortable length of the SSC, then Figure 47 shows trajectory "V" of movement of the SSC when fixing the safety mount (2) on the waist line (position "0"), as in Figure 45, but with a shorter cord length, sufficient only for comfortable communication on a smartphone, when a person holds a smartphone to his ear - minimally comfortable length of SSC. Similarly, the trajectory "IV" of movement of the SSC shows how low a person can fix the safety mount (2) on his body (position "o**") with the minimum comfortable length of the SSC.
[0104] Looking at Figures 45, 46 and 47, we can conclude that the safest range of attachment of the safety mount (2) is above the waist line (position "0"). Moreover, the higher - the safer, and the greater the length of the SSC can be set for comfortable use of a smartphone and SSC. Also in Figures 45 and 46 we see that the closer the centers of the radii of the trajectory of the movement of the hand and the SSC, the more comfortable and safer is the use of the SSC, since the radius "III" of movement of the SSC is greater than the radius "I" of movement of the hand; there is no point at which the length of the shaft restricts the movement of the hand, but at the same time, the lowest point of the length of the shaft is quite high from the ground, approximately at the level of the user's knees.
[0105] The farther the fastening of the SSC is from the shoulder joint (the center of the radius of movement of the arm "I"), the greater the discrepancy between the trajectories. The lower the SSC mount is, the closer the smartphone is to the surface at its lowest point, the more dangerous it is for the smartphone if it falls and the more likely it is to be damaged. At the same time, the SSC restricts hand movements above the "E" point and does not allow using the smartphone with an outstretched arm above the "E" point.
[0106] CORD LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
[0107] Thus, the choice of the length of the cord depends mainly on the height of the person who uses it, and the place of attachment of the safety mount of the SSC.
[0108] If the cord is too long, it may be not safe for the smartphone because it cannot prevent it from falling to the ground. If the cord length is too short, it may interfere with the comfortable use of the smartphone. Therefore, it is important to check the comfort and safety of the SSC length adjustment in relation to the place of attachment of the safety mount (2) before using the SSC.
[0109] It is possible to manufacture SSC of a given different length, according to the height of a person, for example, for people with a particular body height or range of body sizes of let us say 110-120 cm, .... 150-160 cm, 170-180 cm, etc., or "for adults" and "children".
[0110] It is possible to produce a SSC with adjustable length, by means of SSC length regulators.
[0111] Functions of the SSC cord length regulator:
[0112] 1. Adjusting the length of the SSC makes the SSC universal for most people, regardless of their height.
[0113] 2. The location of attachment of the SSC also affects the choice of the SSC length for comfortable, convenient and safe use of the smartphone.
[0114] 3. Adjusting the length of the cord is also necessary in certain ways of using the SSC: for example, when playing sports with a fastening point on the wrist, or when the smartphone hangs around the neck, especially when swimming, so that it does not fly off the person's head, as shown in Figures 20 - 32.
[0115] Given the above, the function of a length regulator can be performed by one regulator (Figure 1, 48 and 49), which combines all three functions, or two or more regulators, where each regulator performs its function (Figures 50 - 59).
[0116] Figure 49 is a schematic representation of the SSC shown in Figure 48. For the convenience of adjusting the length of the SSC, cord (3) can have marks (33) (Figure 50), which will help the user to quickly set the retainer in the desired position for safe and comfortable adjustment of the length of the SSC. Marks (33) can be applied both initially at the factory, and the user himself can mark comfortable settings for the length of the SSC on the cord (3). Marks (33) can be applied by any means: both by standard means (pen, marker, felt-tip pen, etc.) and by special markers. Markers can be monophonic, multi-colored for the convenience of choosing the length (several people can use one SSC and everyone can apply their marks with their own color), as well as fluorescent which glow in the dark. Marks (33) can be both visual and kinesthetic (dents, bumps, etc.) for ease of use in the dark or by visually impaired people. The marks (33) can also be made using pre-threaded heat-shrink rings. Before using the SSC, the user sets the recess (33) in the required place on the cord (3) and fixes this mark (33) in the form of a ringlet on the cord (3) by applying heat (lighter, hair dryer, etc.) to the heat-shrinkable material from which these rings are made. Under the influence of heat, the ring of the mark (33) decreases in diameter and tightly wraps around the cord (3) on which it is strung, in the place required by the user. An excess number of rings of different colors can be put on cord (3), excess rings can later be left on cord (3), or cut off with a knife, scissors, blade, etc.
[0117] Any other marking method may also be used.
[0118] Also, as such a mark, you can install a fixed length limiter (34). After its installation, the retainer (4) for adjusting the length of the SSC will not be able to move along the cord (3) beyond the limiter (34).
[0119] The restrictor can be both reusable and disposable, which cannot be reused, since it cannot be released without damaging it.
[0120] Figures 50 and (51) show an additional cord retainer (35). This lock performs function 1 described previously and retainer (4) performs function 2 described previously.
[0121] Cord retainer (35) can be located both in close proximity to one of the mounts: safety mount (2) or smartphone mount (1), be one with it (Figure 51), or be at a certain distance from these mounts (Figure 52).
[0122] Figure 53 shows a SSC with a plurality of cord (3) length limiters, each of which can be fixed on a certain length of the cord and adjust the length of the cord in accordance with the pre-programmed positions of the safety mount (2) and in accordance with the height of the user.
[0123] The difference between cord retainer (35) and retainer (4) is that cord retainer (35) has one of the edges fixed motionless.
[0124] Fixators can be fixed, fixed when needed, as well as standard, freely moving along the cord if it is located between fixed fixators or limiters in the form of fixed or fixed when needed balls, for example:
[0125] SSC can consist of a cord retainer (35.1) near the smartphone mount (1) or a cord retainer (35.2) near the safety mount (2), or contain both of these locks at the same time. Between two fixators (4) or (35) there can be one or two limiters (34), as shown in Figures 54 - 56, or not at all, as in Figure 53 in the center of the SSC.
[0126] The cord retainer (35) can also be located closer to the center of the cord (3) and not next to the smartphone mount (1) and / or safety mount (2), as shown in Figure 57. There may be a cord length regulator (4) between the mount (1) or (2) and the cord retainer (35), as in Figure 57 or length limiter (34), as in Figure 58.
[0127] In Figure 53 we can see the use of several fixed or fixed when needed cord retainers (35.1), (35.2), (35.3), (35.4) and one standard retainer (4).
[0128] The two fixed when needed cord retainers (35) must be separated from each other by a limiter (34) if their moving parts are directed towards each other, or by a conventional retainer (4) if their fixed parts are directed towards each other.
[0129] Also, the SSC can consist of fixed when needed cord retainers (35) only. Then they should be located in series, where the moving part of the fixed when needed cord retainer (35) is adjacent to the immovable part of the lock following it, as shown in Figure 59.
[0130] Figure 54 shows the SSC using several standard (4.1), (4.2), (4.3) and two fixed when needed (35.1) and (35.2) fixators. As you can see, it is better to put one or two limiters (34) between two ordinary retainers (4).
[0131] Also, the limiter (34) should be placed between the usual retainer (4).3 and the fixed when needed cord retainer (35.2). Where the conventional retainer (4).3 abuts against the fixed part of the cord retainer (35.2) being fixed, there is no need to additionally install a limiter (34), as shown in Figure 55. A limiter (34) can be installed in this case if we want to limit the area of action of the retainer (4).3, as shown in Figure 56.
[0132] General rule:
[0133] • The movable part of the fixator must necessarily be limited by the immovable part of the fixator, or by a limiter.
[0134] • Two movable parts may, but must not, coexist, since then their function of exact measure may be lost.
[0135] • Two immovable parts can be adjacent to each other, but then the part of the cord (3) between them or the sum of such parts, if there are more than one, will be the maximum length of the cord (excluding the length of the SSC accessories).
[0136] REEL
[0137] In Figures 1, 48 and 169, the adjustment of the length of the cord (3) is carried out with a simple pushbutton retainer (4). Figure 60 shows that the adjustment of the length of the SSC can be carried out by the reel (36), as a single one (where one end of the cord (3) or ribbon (9), coming out of the reel (36), has a fixed length, and the length of the second end of the cord (3) or ribbon (9) is regulated by the reel (36) - which corresponds to the cord retainer (35) for the cord (3)). Also, the reel (36) can be double, where both ends of the cord (3) or ribbon (9) are adjustable in length by the reel (36), which corresponds to the retainer (4) for the cord (3). The reel (36) can be of any shape, size, design and principle of operation.
[0138] The advantage of using reel (36) instead of retainer (4) is that the SSC becomes more compact when folded when not used for the maximum length of cord (3) or ribbon (9). But at the same time, retainer (4) is most likely lighter than reel (36). Therefore, it may be more convenient to use for someone. When the SSC is used for the full length of its cord (3) or ribbon (9), retainer (4) is not only lighter, but also more compact than reel (36). Also, reel (36) is likely to be more expensive than retainer (4) to manufacture due to the greater number of parts, materials, and design complexity. Therefore, different length adjustment devices may be suitable for different users.
[0139] In the design of the SSC, ribbon (9) can be used instead of cord (3), as shown in Figure 61. Ribbon (9) can be of various widths and thicknesses, made of various flexible materials and its combinations (any type of fabric, silicone, rubber, urethane, caoutchouc, leather, suede, cowhide, fur, any type of polymer such as a woven polymer, a non-woven polymer or extruded polymer, a polymer weave, a meshed material, a woven material, extruded material, a cut material and so on) that provide comfort for the wearer while being strong enough to secure the smartphone during vigorous movement. Additionally, in some embodiments the cord (3) or ribbon (9) may be comprised of combinations of materials such as silicone molded over nylon, providing both comfort and strength.
[0140] The illustrated ribbon (9) is shown generally as a solid structure, however, ribbon (9) can have any desired series of apertures or protrusions extending therefrom, providing a strong construction but allowing for design and ornamental variations.
[0141] Both ribbon (9) and cord (3) have their advantages. Ribbon (9), for example, has a larger area of contact with the neck or arm of a person compared to cord (3), which can be more comfortable for the user when wearing a SSC on the neck or arm for a long time, especially heavy smartphones, since the weight of the smartphone is distributed over a larger surface area of the neck or the user's hand.
[0142] Ribbon (9) also lends itself better to branding, since it can have a large area (flatness) for applying text and graphic information.
[0143] In the case of using ribbon (9) in the SSC instead of cord (3), mounts (1) and (2) adapt their shape or the shape of the mediator for attachment to a flat ribbon (9), and not to a round cord (harness) (3). At the same time, the principle of operation and purpose remain the same.
[0144] The retainer (4) for cord (3) shown in Figures 1, 48, 50 and others has two separate holes for the two ends of the cord (3), and therefore does not require additional elements to hold the cord (3) in the retainer (4). In this case, it is required to thread the cord (3) into the holes in the retainer (4), when both ends of the cord (3) or at least one of the ends of the cord (3) of the SSC are not covered by any accessories that can prevent the cord (3) from passing freely into the holes of the retainer (4).
[0145] In addition to retainer (4) with two holes, a retainer of another design can be used, which performs the same functions, for example, retainer (37) with one hole, shown in Figure 62.
[0146] Figure 62 shows a standard single hole ribbon or cord retainer (37) assembly and its components. It can be used as a retainer (4) for the cord (3) only with a limiter (43) in the form of a knot, for example, tied from the loop of the cord (3) after passing through the loop of the cord (3), formed as a result of bending the cord (3) and adding the two ends of the cord (3) formed after that parallel to each other, simultaneously inside the hole (39) in the body (38) of the retainer (37) and the hole (41) in the button
[0147] (40) of this retainer, when it is pressed and in its lower position.
[0148] Instead of a node, the function of the limiter (43), which does not allow the double cord (3) to come out back from the hole (39) in the body (38) of the retainer (37) and the hole (41) in the button (40) of this retainer, can be performed by a movable or fixed "ball" and the like, previously put on the cord (3). In In this case, the cord (3) is threaded into the holes (39) in the body (38) of the retainer (37) and the holes
[0149] (41) in the button (40) of this retainer not with a loop (which allows you to put the retainer (37) on the already finished SSC) but only with the ends of the cord (3) of the SSC. Schematically (top view in section) the cord (3) in the retainer (4) is shown in Figure 63, and in the retainer (37) - in Figure 64.
[0150] In some cases, the retainer (37) can also be used for the ribbon, especially when the holes (39) and (41) will have an appropriate shape: correspond to the width of the ribbon and at the same time have a small but sufficient height for two ribbons to pass through them simultaneously.
[0151] When using ribbon (9) in a SSC, retainer (4), which is suitable for cord (3), is changed to retainer (44), which is more suitable for ribbon (9). Retainer (44) for ribbon (9) is essentially a mirror connection of two retainers (37). And the mirror connection of bodys (38) of a standard retainer (37) with one hole (39) form the body (45) of the retainer (44) for the ribbon (9) with two holes (39).
[0152] Figures 65 and 66 show that the retainer can have a different shape depending on the width of the ribbon (9): be wider (Figure 65) or narroyver (Figure 66). The retainer (44) for the narrow ribbon (9) is also suitable for the cord (3). The button (40) in the body (45) is in the raised state and fixes the ribbon (9) passing through the holes (39) and (41) of the retainer with the help of the spring (42). In order to unlock the ribbon (9), it is necessary to press the button (40) so that the holes (39) in the body (45) and the holes (41) in the button (40) coincide with each other.
[0153] The wall thickness between the two springs (42) in the retainer (44) can also be different, which affects the distance between the holes (39) and, accordingly, the overall height of the retainer (44). Thus, the retainer (44) in Figure 66 has a greater height compared to the retainer (44) in Figure 65.
[0154] The retainer (44) has a modified body (45). The patent also covers the retainer (44) design which has a modified body (45) for use with ribbon. When using the ribbon (9) in the SSC, the cord retainer (35) for the cord is transformed into a retainer
[0155] (46) for the ribbon, since in the cord retainer (35) for the cord the cord (3) can move through one of the holes (39) when the button (40) is pressed, and in the other it remains fixed, then the retainer (46) for the ribbon differs from the retainer (44) for the ribbon in that the ribbon (9) is fixed in one of the holes
[0156] (39). Since the cord retainer (35) and the retainer (46) have a different design, the method of fixing the ribbon (9) in the retainer (46) may differ from the method of fixing the cord (3) in the cord retainer (35). In addition to the methods of fixation described for cord (3), the ribbon (9) can be fixed in the ribbon retainer (44) by fixing one of the buttons (40) in the upper position using disposable (47) (Figure 67.) and reusable (51) (Figures 70, 74, 75 and 76) wedges (latch).
[0157] Figure 68 (side view) and Figure 69 (top view) show a disposable latch (47), which is inserted into the hole (41) in the button (40) in its upper position in the ribbon retainer (46) (Figure 67 - in the working position inside the hole (41) in the button (40) side view) . The protrusion (48) in the disposable latch
[0158] (47) has the shape of a right triangle, in which the beveled side (hypotenuse) allows it to move into the hole (41) of the button (40), and the side (leg) perpendicular to the latch (47), on the contrary, prevents the reverse movement of the latch (47), abuting against the walls of the recess (49) inside the button
[0159] (40). The protrusion (50) at the end of the latch (47) allows more comfortable for the user's fingers to press on the end of the latch (47) when it is to be inserted into the hole of the button (40).
[0160] At the same time, this protrusion (50) prevents the latch (47) from passing through (Figure 71 - side view and Figure 72 - top view).
[0161] The difference between the reusable latch (51) (Figures 70 - 72) and the disposable latch (47) (Figures 67 - 69) is in the form of a protrusion (52), which, when pressed from above through the hole (53) in the button (40), becomes parallel to the latch (51) and does not prevent its movement in the opposite direction (Figure 70 - side view in working position inside the hole in the button (40)). For this purpose, in the reusable latch (51) under the protrusion (52), a recess (54) can additionally be located (Figures 71 side view in section and 72 top view - the dotted line shows the recess (54)) of the corresponding shape and size, in which the protrusion (52) can "hide" when it is required to remove the reusable latch (51) from the hole (41) in the button (40) of the ribbon retainer (46) with stopper.
[0162] Thus, in order to pull out the latch (51), it is enough to press on the protrusion (52) and pull the special grip (55) of the reusable latch (51). The protrusion (50) in this case only serves as a limiter and a pusher.
[0163] Both in Figures 67 - 69 and in Figures 70 - 72, latches (47) and (51) are separate items. But both disposable and reusable latches can be attached to the ribbon retainer (46) using a flexible ribbon (56) (Figure 73) or be part of the ribbon retainer (46) (Figure 74).
[0164] In Figure 74, the wedge (57) is connected by a limiter (50) with a mount (58) to the button (40) of the ribbon retainer (46) and a special grip (55). Wedge mount (58) due to the slots (59) on both sides and the axis (60) can move back and forth and up and down around the axis (60). In the "open" position " (Figure 75), button (40) can be freely pressed and lowered, releasing ribbon (9) or cord (3) inside ribbon retainer (44). In the "close" position of the wedge mount (57), button (40) is blocked (Figure 76).
[0165] Ball.
[0166] Figure 48 shows that for the convenience of adjusting the length of the cord (3) with the help of the retainer (4), a ball (61) or an object of any other shape (through which the cord (3) passes) can be added to the design of the SSC, and since the ball (61) is larger than the cord (3), it is more convenient for the fingers to pull the cord (3) with ball (61) rather than pulling directly on cord (3).
[0167] The ball (61) can be movable - an ordinary ball (of any shape) with a hole (62) inside through which the cord (3) passes. In this case, the ball (61) moves freely along the cord (3) and performs only the function of a convenient mediator for taking the cord (3) with the user's fingers.
[0168] In the case with the ribbon (9) of SSC, the ball (61) transforms into a special plate (63) with a rectangular hole (64) for the ribbon (9). This plate (63) can be made of almost any material or combination of materials (metals, wood, stone, plastic, nitinol, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or carbon fiber-reinforced plastic , silicone, polycarbonate, urethane, leather, etc) with a smooth, embossed or padded surface structure for better grip of the user's fingers and the plate (63) (Figure 77 is a top view of plate (63); Figure 78 is a side view of plate (63) in a SSC with ribbon (9); Figure 79 is a general view of a SSC with ribbon (9) instead of cord (3) and plate (63), respectively).
[0169] But the ball (61) or plate (63) can also be fixed on the cord (3) or ribbon (9) in any other possible way (soldering, gluing, etc.) and play the role of not only a mediator, as in the case of a movable ball (61), but also a limiter (34), or only limiter (34).
[0170] The ball (61) (or plate (63)) can be fixed on the cord (3) (or ribbon (9)) initially, even at the production stage. Or - fixed by the user according to his individual settings of the SSC to set a limit on the maximum length of the SSC.
[0171] Thus, the user can once make the length of the SSC shorter - the maximum possible for safe use, taking into account the height of the user and the place where the safety mount (2) of the SSC is attached. Although the ball (61) (or plate (63)) can fix any length of the SSC, its main function as a limiter (34) is to fix the cord (3) (or ribbon (9)) in the maximum allowable length for the safe use of a smartphone.
[0172] An example of the design of such a ball is shown in Figures 80-87 for cord (3) and Figures 88-91 for ribbon (9). Depending on its design, this ball can be disposable (Figures 80-86 and 88, 90, 91) and reusable (Figures 87 and 89). A disposable ball cannot be released without damaging the ball itself.
[0173] Figures 80 - top view; 81 - side view in the open position; 82 - side view in the closed working position and in Figures 83 - top view; 84 - side view in the open position; 85 - side view in section in the closed working position, the design of balls (65) and (68) differs only in that in Figures 80-82 insert (66), of the corresponding shape and size, is inserted into slot (67) in ball (65), and in Figures 83-85 insert (69), of the corresponding shape and size, is inserted into a non-through hole (70), which can be either square, round, or any other shape.
[0174] With directional hooks (71), which allow the insert (66) and (69) to move in the ball (65) and (68), respectively, only in one direction, the insert (66) and (69) enters the special recesses (72) in the ball (65) and (68), catches on them and, pressing by the edge (73) of the insert (66) and (69), the cord (3) in the body of the ball (65) and (68), respectively, to its inner walls, fixes the ball (65) and (68) on the cord (3).
[0175] Unlike insert (66) in Figures 80-82, the tip (75) of insert (74) in Figure 86 (side view in section in the closed working position) is made not only in the center like insert (66), but also for its entire length.
[0176] Figure 87 shows the ball (76) with a reusable insert (77) in the form of a screw, which is screwed into the threaded hole (78) in the ball (76) with a screwdriver, pressing the cord (3) to the body of the ball (76), and also unscrews from it if necessary, allowing you to move the ball (76) along the cord (3) .Without insert (77) (Figure 87) and insert (69) (Figure 84) ball (68) and (76) can be used as normal balls (61) for comfortable gripping of the cord (3) with fingers of the user's hands.
[0177] If the diameter of the cord (3) is less than the width of the slot (67), the ball (65) cannot be used on the cord (3) like a regular ball (61), since it cannot be held on the cord (3) without an insert (66) or (74) installed in the slot (67). But in this case, the ball (65) can be easily put on cord (3) anywhere along the cord (3). Also, ball (65) can be removed from cord (3) at any time if insert (66) or (74) is reusable.
[0178] The balls (79), acting as fixators on the ribbon (9), in addition to the fixing methods described above, when the cord (3) or ribbon (9) is inside the ball, can be fixed on the ribbon, as shown in Figures 88-91.
[0179] In Figure 88 (sectional side view) and Figure 90 (top view), the ball (79) consists of two halves:
[0180] - half (80) with an arrow-shaped pin (82), which passes through a hole in the ribbon (9), having shape and size allowing the pin (82) to pass through it, but the diameter of which does not exceed the diameter of the ball (79);
[0181] - and half (81) with correspondingly shaped recesses (83).
[0182] Ball (79) can also have another way of connecting its two halves (80) and (81) to each other, for example, using a threaded connection like a screw and a nut, where the pin (80) acts as a screw, and the recess (81) acts as a nut (Figure 89).
[0183] Ball (79) can be not only of a round spherical shape, but also an elongated oval, for example, as shown in Figure 91, or any other shape. The ball (79) on the ribbon (9) may also have several arrow-shaped pins (82) with corresponding recesses (83) for a stronger and more even fixation of the ball (79) on the ribbon (9).
[0184] Thus, the ball (61) and its modifications, like the plate (63), can be movable, fixed, and also fixed when needed.
[0185] The movable ball makes it easy to change the position of the retainer (4) on the cord (3). The fixed ball sets the position of the retainer (4), centers it on itself and limits its movement along the cord (3).
[0186] The fixed when needed ball contains the advantages of both: movable and fixed balls, because at the request of the user, he can fix it in the right place of the cord (3), and if necessary, unfix it, move it along the cord (3) and fix it again, or use it as a movable one.
[0187] Cord retainer (35)
[0188] Cord retainer (35) can be attached to the smartphone mount (1) rigidly, with a flexible connection, by means of various mediators, or be one piece with it. Cord retainer (35) with a rigid connection, or when it is one part together with a smartphone mount (1), can be located on the same line, as shown in Figure 92, or at a certain angle (Figure 93) so that the cord (3) does not fray.
[0189] A cord can also act as a mediator, so the cord retainer (35) does not have to be located directly next to the smartphone mount (1) (Figure 52), moreover, the cord retainer (35) can be located on the other side of the cord (3), where the safety mount (2) is located (Figure 55 and Figure 56).
[0190] Fixation of the cord (3) in one of the holes of the cord retainer (35) can be done in various ways:
[0191] 1. Knot from the cord (3) itself, preventing the passage of the cord (3) back through the hole (39) in the cord retainer (35);
[0192] 2. End cap (84) for fixing the cord (3) - an object of any shape (cone, ball, cube, spiral, etc.), any size and by any method (soldering, gluing, mechanical fastening, etc.), which is put on the end of the cord, preventing the passage of the cord (3) back through the hole (39) in the retainer (35);
[0193] In both methods described above, cord (3) and its fixator (a knot made of cord (3) or an end cap (84)) are not rigidly fixed and are movable (Figure 94).
[0194] But the cord fixator and the cord (3) fixed in it can also be fixed.
[0195] 3. The cord retainer (35) may have a cap (85) immediately after the hole (39) for the cord (3). After the cord (3) is passed through the hole (39) in the cord retainer (35), the cap (85) doses (snaps) which will prevent further movement of the cord (3) through the hole (39) in the cord retainer (35) (Figure 95 ).
[0196] 4. Also, the hole in the cord retainer (35) may not be through, but made in the form of a cylinder
[0197] (86), into which the cord (3) is inserted and fixed in this cylinder (86) (using glue, thermal soldering, mechanically using a clamp), as in a cylindrical cap end (Figure 96).
[0198] 5. Using a disposable wedge-shaped latch (87). This method is shown in Figure 97 (cord (3) is threaded through hole (39) in cord retainer (35), latch (87) is in the open position) and Figure 98 (latch
[0199] (87) is in the working closed position and presses cord (3) to the walls of hole (39) in cord retainer (35) into which it is threaded, fixes it and does not allow it to move in any direction in this hole (39). The protrusions (88) of the cord retainer (35) prevent the wedge-shaped latch (87) from leaving the cord retainer (35) when it is in the open position.).
[0200] The directional protrusions (89) prevent the wedge-shaped latch (87) from moving forward and pinching the cord (3) in the cord retainer (35). At the same time, the shape of the directed protrusions (89) allows the latch (87) to move forward and pinch the cord (3) when a certain force is applied to the head (90) of the wedge-shaped latch (87). The shape of the protrusions (89) does not allow the latch (87) to return back after it has passed forward from the force applied to its head (90). The recess (91) in the cord retainer (35) repeats the shape of the wedge-shaped latch (87) and is designed, together with the latch (87), to ensure reliable fixation of the cord (3) in the cord retainer (35).
[0201] 6. Using a reusable wedge-shaped latch (92). Figures 99 (general view), 100 (cord retainer (35) mechanism in the open position) and 101 (cord retainer (35) mechanism in the closed working position) show the cord retainer (35) with a reusable latch (92) in a static state, thanks to the spring (93), which is in the open position. When it is not affected by external forces, the latch (92) closes the hole (39) in the cord retainer (35), preventing the cord (3) from entering the hole (39) or fixes the cord (3) in the cord retainer (35) if the cord (3) has already been previously passed through this hole (39) (Figure 101). In order to thread the cord (3) into the hole (39) of the cord retainer (35), it is necessary to pull the special grip (94) of the latch (92) and pull it towards you, overcoming the resistance of the spring (93) and compressing it (Figure 100). After the cord (3) is threaded into the hole (39) of the cord retainer (35), it is enough to release the grip (94) and the spring (93) straightens, pressing the latch (92) to the cord (3). The protrusions (88) in this case provide a stop to the spring (93).
[0202] When the cord (3) is mechanically fixed in the cord retainer (35), with a through hole (39), it is possible to move the cord retainer (35) along the cord, but then the ball (61) must be movable or fixed when needed so as not to impede the movement of the cord retainer (35) along the cord (3).
[0203] For permanent fastening of accessories in the form of a smartphone mount (1), a safety mount (2) or a connector for changing fasteners to a cord (3) or a ribbon (9), SSC can be used:
[0204] I. Holes in accessories
[0205] A) Cord (3).
[0206] Ways of fastening the cord (3) in the accessories hole on the example of one of the parts of the fastex.
[0207] • In Figures 102 (top view) and 103 (side view), the cord (3) is threaded through the hole (96) in the fastex (95). After that, a knot (97) is tied at this end of the cord (3). The diameter of a knot must be larger than the diameter of the hole (96) in the fastex (95), preventing in such a way the cord (3) from going back out of hole (96).
[0208] • Another method is very similar to the previous one, but instead of knot (97), an end cap (84) is put on the end of cord (3). The diameter of this end cup does not allow cord (3) to come back out of hole (96) of fastex (95), as shown in Figures 104 (top view) and 105 (side view) . • Another way is shown in Figure 106 (top view) and Figure 107 (side view). Here, the cord (3) is fastened to the fastex (95) using a clamp (98). The cord (3) is threaded through the hole (96) in the fastex (95), both parts of the cord (3) become parallel and are clamped motionless by the clamp (98), forming a closed loop (99), which holds the fastex (95) on the cord (3).
[0209] B) Ribbon (9).
[0210] Both of the latter methods are also applicable to ribbon (9) using appropriate accessories and holes. Figures 108 (side view), 109 (top view) and 110 (bottom view) show accessories (100) with a slot (101), into which ribbon (9) enters and closes on itself by gluing, welding (heat sealing), stitching, mechanically (rivet, shackle, clamp, etc.) when exiting.
[0211] But for the ribbon there are a number of ways to connect with accessories.
[0212] To do this, in the ribbon (9) itself (Figure 111) or in the reinforcement (102), which locally strengthens the ribbon, protecting it from damage, (Figure 112) a hole (103) is made (Figure 112) or several holes (103) (Figure 111). Similar through holes (105) are made in accessories (104) of the appropriate size, shape and location. Holes (103) can be reinforced with rivets (106) so that the ribbon does not break at this point. The reinforcement (102) can be made of polymers, any metal, other ribbon, etc. attached to the edge, as shown in Figure 112, or to another section of the ribbon mechanically, by gluing, thermal soldering, welding, sewing, and so on. In Figure 112, the reinforcement (102) is a metal plate bent in half of the same or slightly larger width than the ribbon (9) and mechanically fixed to the ribbon (9) using slightly bent metal teeth on both edges of the metal plate, directed inside the ribbon (9).
[0213] Next, the ribbon (9) is inserted into a rectangular hole (107) of the box (104) of the accessories, the holes (103) and (105) are aligned and disposable latches in the form of studs (108) are inserted into them (Figure 113) as well as studs (112) (Figure 114), or a reusable connection (121) in the form of a screw (122) and a nut (125) (Figure 115).
[0214] The stud (108) consists of a cap (109), the top of which is pressed by a person when inserting the nail (108) with the top of the pyramid (110) attached to the cap (109), the leg (111) down into the holes (103) and (105) to fasten the ribbon (9) and accessories together with the box-shaped connector (104). The fastened parts are thus sandwiched between the bottom of the cap (109) and the base of the pyramid (110). It follows that the length of the leg (111) must correspond to the thickness of the fastened parts and be slightly larger than this thickness.
[0215] Disposable latch (112) in the form of a stud (113) with an arrowhead (116) and a cap (114). The stud (113) consists of a cap (115), on top of which a person presses when inserting the stud (113) with the tip of the arrowhead (116), attached to the cap (115) with a leg (117), down into the holes (103) and (105) to fasten together the ribbon (9) and accessories with the corresponding holes. But, unlike the stud (108), the stud (113) is inserted further into the nozzle (114). The dome (119) of the nozzle (114) contains arrow head nail (116) completely, and the sides (120) of the nozzle (114) have an internal hole diameter greater than the diameter of the leg (117), but the diameter of the inner hole of the sides (120) of the nozzle (114) is less than the distance between the edges of the petals (118) of the arrow head nail (116) in the open position .
[0216] Thus, upon going into the holes in sides (120) of the nozzle (114), the lobes (118) of the swept tip are pressed against the stem (117) by an applied downward force, the distance between the petals (118) becoming less than the diameter of the holes in sides (120) of the nozzle (114), which allows the swept tip to enter inside the nozzle (114).
[0217] Once inside the nozzle (114), the petals (118) straighten out, taking their original position, since they no longer experience the pressure of the sides (120) of the nozzle (114). Once straightened, the distance between the petals (118) of the swept tip becomes larger than the diameter of the hole in the sides (120) of the nozzle (114). The swept shape allows the petals (118) of the tip (116) to slide down against the leg (117) as it advances. But, at the same time, the swept shape of the tip (116) does not allow it to go back out of the nozzle (114): the petals (118), when an upward force is applied to them, move apart, further increasing the distance between them, until they hit the corner of the sides (120) and the dome (119) .
[0218] Ribbon (9) and accessories are sandwiched between the bottom of the cap (115) and the top of the sides (120).
[0219] Pyramid (110) and petals (118) arrow-shaped tip (116) must be made of strong, but elastic resilient material (plastic, rubber, etc.) to be deformed sufficiently to pass through the holes (103) and (105), the diameter of which is less than the length of the base of the pyramid (110) and less than the length of the distance between the edges of the petals (118) of the swept tip (116).
[0220] Disconnecting the accessories fastened in this way can only be done by damaging the disposable latch (108) or (112) (pull out, cut, etc.).
[0221] When using a reusable screw connection (121) to connect the ribbon (9) and accessories, such as boxes (104), the ribbon (9) is inserted inside the box (104) of the accessories, into the hole (107). After that, holes (103) in the ribbon (9) and holes (105) in the box (104) of the accessories are aligned. Screws (122) are inserted into these holes from above. The leg (124) of the screw (122) passes inward through the holes (103) in the ribbon (9) and the holes (105) in the box (104) of the accessories through and exits at the bottom. At the bottom, a nut (125) is screwed onto the leg (124) of the screw (122), gradually, as you tighten, reducing the distance between the bottom of the cap (123) of the screw (122) and the sideshim (126) of the nut (125) as it is tightened, clamping and fixing the ribbon and accessories located between them.
[0222] With a paired quantity of holes (103) and (105) (2, 4, 6 .. and so on), staples (127) (Figure 116 - in the open initial position and Figure 117 - in the closed working position) can be used to connect ribbon (9) and accessories (104) to each other . Staples (127) can be inserted into holes (103) and (105) and clamped by hand or with tools. It is also possible to use special staplers for this or other devices. Figure 111 and Figure 118 show accessories (104) with two through holes (105). On the outside of the accessories box (104), between paired holes (105), special recesses can be made for the staple (127) so that it does not protrude and is flush with the outer surface of the accessories box (104).
[0223] Instead of box (104), a plate with appropriate holes can also be used. Box (104) has the advantage that the accessories which it is used with can have an axis (128) that fits into a matching hole (129) in the box (104) and a restraining cap (130) on the axis (128) on the opposite side of the accessories. Restraining cap (130) holds the accessories to the box (104) and prevents the axis (128) from coming out from the corresponding hole in the box (104) (Figures 111 and 112). The axis (128) allows the accessories to rotate, thereby providing greater comfort and ease of use to the user.
[0224] The connecting plate (131) with a hole (105) or multiple holes (105) can be fixed, as shown in Figures 119-122, or rotated on a shaft (128), as shown in Figures 123-125.
[0225] The plate (131) may have one (Figures 119 and 124) or more (Figure 125) holes (105).
[0226] Figure 119 (side view) shows an accessory with an integrated flat connecting plate (131) and a hole (105) in it.
[0227] The flat connection plate (131) can be centered on the central axis F of the accessory, as shown in Figure 120 (top view). Especially such an arrangement of the connecting plate (131) is relevant when connected to the ribbon (9) or cord (3) using the connecting ring (132).
[0228] The flat connection plate (131) can be positioned to the side (right or left) of the central axis F of the accessory, as shown in Figure 121, where the flat connecting plate (131) is positioned to the left of the central axis F of the accessory. Such a position allows the ribbon (9) to be located next to the opposite side of the axis F, which adds convenience and comfort to the user in further use of the SSC with such fastening of the SSC ribbon (9) to the accessories. Further, after the holes (105) and (103) are aligned, if there is one hole the flat connecting plate (131) and one hole in the ribbon (9), at the place where the accessories are attached (or the corresponding holes (105) and (103), if there are more), one of the disposable or reusable connections described above or similar is threaded into them, which rigidly or movably connect the accessories with the ribbon (9) of SSC.
[0229] There can also be two flat connecting plates (131), as shown in Figure 122 (view of the accessories from above). The connecting plates (131) are located on the left and right sides of the center of the axis F of the accessories. There must be a sufficient space between the plates (131) to place the edge of the ribbon (9) of the SSC into it. The width of the space between the left and right connecting plates (131) must be greater than the thickness of the ribbon (9) of the SSC. After the edge of the SSC ribbon (9) is placed between the SSC connector plates (131) and all the corresponding holes (105) and (103) in the SSC connector plates (131) and the SSC ribbon (9) are aligned, one or more disposable or reusable connections as described above or similar are inserted into them.
[0230] In case when it is necessary that accessories were able to rotate around its axis (128) in the connecting plate (131) on the ribbon (9) or cord (3) of the SSC, the connecting plate (131) can take an L-shaped or U-shaped form, as shown in Figures 123 (side view), 124 and 125 (top view).
[0231] Part G of the L-shaped plate (133) is intended for connection with accessories and is placed on its axis (128), which allows the L-shaped plate (133) to rotate around its axis (128). Part I of the L-shaped plate (133) is designed to connect accessories with ribbon (9) or cord (3) of the SSC using a ring (132), which is inserted into the hole (105) in the L-shaped plate (133) and the corresponding hole (103) in the ribbon (9), the end cap of the cord (3) of the SSC or the connections described above, when the holes (105) and (103) in the L-shaped plate (133) and ribbon (9) are combined and one of these connections is inserted into them, as shown in Figure 123.
[0232] The shape of the connecting plate (133) need not be strictly L-shaped. This form was chosen only as a clear example of the principle of operation of such a connection.
[0233] A screw connection (121), which is shown in Figure 126 can also be used. Here, both the screw (122) and the nut (134) have the same or similar caps (123). As the leg (124) of the screw (122) is screwed into the nut (134), the distance between the bottom of the caps (123) of the screw (122) and the nut (134) is reduced, and here definitely the bottom of the cap (123) of the screw (122) and the bottom of the cap of the nut (134) are pressing and fixing the accessories and the ribbon (9) placed between them.
[0234] II. Various end caps.
[0235] 1) End cap with a ring shape eyelet (136) . Accessories (smartphone mount (1), safety mount (2), connector for changing fasteners) are attached to eyelet (136) or a hole in the end cap by means of a connecting ring (132).
[0236] A. For a cord
[0237] • Figure 127 shows a cord end cap (137), with a cylindrical hole inside into which the cord is inserted. End cap (137) is commercially available and can be of any shape outside, any size, and made of any suitably strong and durable material (metal, wood, stone, bones, nitinol, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, aluminum, plastic , etc. and any combination of these). Figures 128 and 129 show the side view of the end cap (137) from different sides. Figure 130 - bottom view of the end cap (137) - the side where the cord of the corresponding diameter is inserted into a cylindrical hole (135). Figure 131 - view of the end cap (137) from above - the side to which through the eyelet (136) is attached directly or through a mediator (for example, a connecting ring), other accessories. • Figure 132 shows the end cap (138) in the form of a spring. Unlike end cap (137), which is attached to the cord with adhesive, end cap (138) is fixed mechanically.
[0238] B. For a ribbon.
[0239] Figures 133 - 137 show the ends (139) and (140) for the ribbon. They have an eyelet (136) for connecting to other accessories directly or through a mediator, similar to cord ends. They also have serrated (141) (Figures 133-135) or flat (142) (Figure 137) edges, which clamp the ribbon and are mechanically attached to the flat end cap (139) and (140) correspondingly. Figures 133-135 - different projections of the flat end cap (139). Figures 136 and 137 - different projections of the cylindrical end cap (140).
[0240] • End cap (137) for the ribbon, which has a rectangular hole (107) inside corresponding to the size of the ribbon, which is inserted into it and is fixed with glue, as well as a hole (96) (Figure 138) for a cord or connecting ring (132) or an eyelet (136) (Figure 139).
[0241] 2) End cap with rectangular eyelet (136) or slot (101) for ribbon.
[0242] A. For a cord
[0243] • Figure 140 shows, as an example, an end cap (137) with a rectangular eyelet (136).
[0244] • Also, instead of an eyelet (136) in the form of a ring, the end (138) in the form of a spring can have a rectangular eyelet (136) for a ribbon.
[0245] B. For a ribbon.
[0246] Any ribbon end cap: (137), (139), (140) and others can be with a rectangular eyelet (136) or a slot (101) for the ribbon. Thus, Figure 141 shows an end cap (137) for a ribbon with a rectangular hole (107) inside for the ribbon and a slot (101) for threading another ribbon into it.
[0247] 3) End cap with flexible eyelet (136) in the form of a cord or ribbon. To do this, at least two holes are made in the end cap: round holes (135) for the cord (Figure 142) or rectangular holes (107) for the ribbon (Figure 143) instead of the usual eyelet (136).
[0248] Figure 143 shows an end cap with two rectangular holes (107) for ribbon and a rectangular ribbon eyelet (136). Thus, the end cap may have two or more holes not only for the flexible eyelet (136), but also for connecting two or more cords or ribbons in one end cap. On the other side of such end cap (137) there can be either holes (96) or slots (101) for threading a cord, ribbon or connecting ring into them, and one or more holes (107) and / or (135) into which a ribbon and / or cord correspondingly is inserted.
[0249] An example of one of the many variations of such an end cap is shown in Figure 144. Here, on one side of the end cap (137), a ribbon is inserted into a rectangular hole (107), and on the other side of the end cap (137), a cord is inserted into a round cylindrical hole (135). Thus, in this case, the end cap (137) connects the cord and the ribbon. Such end caps can connect a cord with a cord (Figure 145), a ribbon with a ribbon (Figure 146), a cord and a ribbon. Number and sizes of ribbons and cords connected by such an end cap can be either the same or different.
[0250] Also, the end cap (137) may have more than two sides into which the cord or ribbon with corresponding holes is inserted. Each of such sides may have any number of round and / or rectangular holes.
[0251] So in Figure 147, two cords (3) enter the corresponding cylindrical holes (135), located at a certain angle in the end cap (137) with an eyelet (136) for the cord or connecting ring.
[0252] In Figure 148, the end cap (137) with an eyelet (136) for a cord or connecting ring combines three cords (3), which are inserted and fixed in the cylindrical holes (135) of the end cap (137).
[0253] Figure 149 shows another design of the end cap (137) with an eyelet (136) for a cord or connecting ring, which combines three cords (3), which are inserted and fixed into the corresponding cylindrical holes (135) of the end cap (137).
[0254] In Figure 150, end cap (137), in contrast to end cap (137) in Figure 148, already combines four cords (3), but does not have an eyelet (136) for the cord or connecting ring.
[0255] Figure 151 shows the end cap (137), which connects together two cords (3) at one point (inserted and fixed into the corresponding cylindrical holes (135) of the end cap (137)) and a ribbon (9) (inserted and fixed into the corresponding rectangular hole (107) of the end cap (137) for ribbon).
[0256] Perpendicular to the cylindrical hole (135) for the cord and the rectangular hole (107) for the ribbon, threaded holes can be made in the end cap for screwing screws (122) into them. Screwing in perpendicular to hole (135) (Figure 128, 129, 144) or hole (107) (Figure 144) screws (122) fix the cord or ribbon in the end cap (137), pressing the cord or ribbon against the wall of the hole (135) or (107) respectively opposite the screw (122). This method of fixation can be the main one - then the connection will be reusable, or additional to the one-time fastening of the cord and ribbon in the end cap (137) using glue, welding, etc..
[0257] When both fasteners are in the form of ring-shaped eyelets or holes in the plane, one round ring (132) is sufficient to connect them together (Figure 152 - top view, and Figure 153 - side view).
[0258] To connect with ribbon (9) or a wide rectangular eyelet, the shape of the connecting ring (132) changes accordingly:
[0259] 1. Both rectangular eyelets.
[0260] • One size. To connect two parts with rectangular eyelets of the same size to each other, one rectangular ring is enough. Rectangular ring (143) is shown schematically in Figure 154. It may be solid or have a slit (144).
[0261] Figure 155 (side view) and Figure 156 (top view) show that the safety mount (2) (of any design), as well as by analogy the smartphone mount (1) (of any design) and the connector for changing mounts can be connected to the ribbon (9) by means of a rectangular connecting ring (143), which is inserted into the bent ring protrusion (145) in the body of the safety mount (2), which is a C-shaped bent metal plate. After the ring (143) is inserted into the bent protrusion for the ring (145), we compress the plate, reducing the clearance so that the ring (143) can no longer come out of the ring grip. Figures 157 (side view), 158 (top view) and 159 (bottom view) show latch (146). Latch (146) has a bent protrusion (145) into which a rectangular ring (143) can be inserted to connect latch (146) with ribbon (9).
[0262] • Various sizes. If the rectangular eyelets are of different sizes, a double rectangular connecting ring (147) will be required, consisting, as it were, of two oval rings of the size corresponding to the diameter of the eyelets (Figure 160).
[0263] 2. One eyelet is rectangular, and the second one is in the form of a ring or a hole in the plane.
[0264] In Figure 161 (side view) and Figure 162 (top view) we see cord (3) connected to safety mount (2) by means of end cap (137) and jump ring (148).
[0265] Figures 163, 164 and 166 show two variants of rectangular rings for connecting accessories with a rectangular eyelet and a cord (3) cap end:
[0266] • Figure 163 shows jump ring (148) in the open position. Then it is threaded into the eyelet (136) of the end cap and the bent protrusion (145) of the accessory, after which it is mechanically clamped as shown by the arrows in the Figures, forming a closed jump ring (148) in the form shown in Figure 164. Using a rectangular jump ring (148), accessories (149) can be interconnected (for example, safety mount (2) of appropriate shape) not only with a cord, but also with a ribbon, using end caps for ribbon like end cap (139), as shown in Figure 165.
[0267] • a rectangular ring (143) with an eyelet (151) form a ring (150). The ring (150) with an eyelet (151) and the end cap with an eyelet (136) are interconnected by a ring (132). The ring (132) is inserted into the eyelet (151) of the oval ring (150) and into the eyelet (136) of the end cap (137), for example, after which it is mechanically clamped , forming a closed ring (Figure 166).
[0268] The jump ring (148) and the bundle of the ring (150) with the eyelet (151) and the ring (132) are essentially a round ring for connection with an annular eyelet of an end cup or accessories and a rectangular ring for connecting with a rectangular eyelet of an end cup or accessories, as well as with a ribbon.
[0269] Such and similar mediators not only serve as a link, but also as a flexible connection, and therefore can be deliberately used in cases where additional flexibility and mobility of the connection is needed.
[0270] III. The end cap is a part of the accessory.
[0271] End cap can be a part of the accessories (Figure 167, Figure 168). Figure 167 (side view) and Figure 168 (top view) show the use of a SSC safety mount (2) with an end cap (137) integrated into it without using a mediator in the form of a ring (132). This reduces weight, labor costs for manufacturing, but, as in the previous example, is not standard accessory. Such ways of integrating various accessories are also part of this patent application. Figure 169 shows a general view of the SSC using a safety mount (2) and a smartphone mount (1) with an integrated end cap (137) for attaching a cord (3).
[0272] In addition to the permanent attachment of the cord to the smartphone mount (1), the safety mount (2) or the connector for changing the SSC mounts using the end cap (137) in the form of a cylinder or the end cap (138) in the form of a spring, the mount can be reusable, and accessories in the form of different types of mounts can be changed by the user independently in depending on his tastes, preferences, needs and operating conditions (Figure 170). Figure 170 shows fastening (1) or (2) in the form of a clamp for braces, where a cylinder (152) with an external thread, a slot (153) for changing the diameter of the cylinder and teeth (154) inside the cylinder (152) for better fixation of the cord (3) inside the cylinder (152) are integrated in the body of cylinder (152). Cylinder (152) in Figure 170 is in the open position. To connect fastening (1) or (2) with cord (3), cord (3) is inserted inside cylinder (152), after that nut (155) is torqued (torqued onto the edge of cylinder (152)), compressing it, reducing the diameter of cylinder (152) and thereby clamping cord (3) with teeth (154) on the inner surface of cylinder (152) inside the cylinder (152). To disconnect the cord (3), it is enough to unscrew the nut (155) and remove the cord (3) from the cylinder (152). To prevent the nut (155) from torquing off the cylinder (152), limiters can be installed on the edges of the cylinder (152), or the external thread on the cylinder (152) should not reach to its edge. This applies to both sides of cylinder (152).
[0273] Connectors for changing fasteners:
[0274] Instead of a connecting permanent and essentially disposable ring (132), a reusable connector in the form of rings (156) (Figures 171 - 174) and (157) (Figure 175) for changing fasteners can be used, which is inserted into the eyelet (136) of the end caps or is attached to the connecting ring (132).
[0275] Figure 172 (side view) and Figure 173 (schematic side view) show cord (3), end cap (137) and connector (156) assembled. A connector for changing fasteners in the form of a ring (156) is attached to the eyelet (136) of the end cap (137).
[0276] Figure 174 (side view) shows the ribbon (9), the end cap (139), which clamps the ribbon (9) with serrated edges (141) and is connected to the mediator ring (156) by means of the eyelet (136).
[0277] Figure 175 (top view) shows the ribbon (9) connected to the end cap (139), which clamped the ribbon (9) with serrated edges (141), and the ring-connector (157) is inserted into the eyelet (136) of the end cap (139).
[0278] The various shapes of connectors (156) and (157) are merely examples and demonstrate the possibility of a variety of shapes.
[0279] Figure 176 (side view) and Figure 177 (top view) show cord (3), end cap (137) and ring-connector (157) as an assembly. Figure 178 (top view) shows the cord (3), the end cap (137) and the ring-connector (157), into which the opening ring (158) is inserted. Similarly, any other accessories can be attached to the cord (3) through the ring-connector (157).
[0280] Figure 179 (top view) shows a ribbon (9) with an end cap (139) and a ring-connector (157), into which an opening ring (158) is inserted.
[0281] Figure 180 (side view), in contrast to figure 179, shows the end cap (140) with flat edges (142) clip of the ribbon (9) and a mediator ring (156), on which you can easily put on or remove from it any accessories, same as in the case of the opening ring (158).
[0282] Male-female connection
[0283] Since the connector for changing mounts and accessories for it in the form of a smartphone mount (1) and a safety mount (2), just like connector I (7) and a smartphone mount (1), connector II (8) and a safety mount (2) are connected to each other according to the male-female principle, then, with the appropriate male-female mounts, the connector for changing mounts can be connected directly to connector I (7) and connector II (8), performing the function of smartphone mount (1) and safety mount (2), respectively.
[0284] Figure 181 (side view) and Figure 182 (top view) show fastex as such a quick-release mount, consisting of two parts: "male" (159) and "female" (160).
[0285] One part of the quick-release fastener "female" of the fastex (160) is fixed on the ribbon (9). The "male" of the fastex (159) is inserted into the "female" of the fastex (160), connected with the help of ribbon (161) (which is not a part of the SSC in itself, but only performs the function of fastening the safety mount (2) (or smartphone mount (1)) to the counterpart of the quick release mount).
[0286] Safety mount (2) and male fastex (159) can also be one piece, as shown in Figure 183 (side view) and Figure 184 (top view). This allows you to achieve compactness and ease of quick-release fasteners, but it does not allow the use of standard accessories.
[0287] A cord, ring or any other connection can be used instead of ribbon (161) to connect safety mount (2) and male fastex (159).
[0288] Replying parts "male" and "female" can be located on any part of SSC and its accessories. So, both "female" and "male" part can be there on ribbon (9). A quick-release mount does not have to be in the form of a fastex, it can be of any shape and design.
[0289] Screw connector.
[0290] The connector for changing mounts can be in the form of a cylindrical end cap (137) for cord (3) with an external thread (162). Replaceable mounts are screwed onto the cylindrical end cap using a corresponding nut (163) with an internal thread, which is an integral part of the replaceable mount. For the user's convenience, a limiter-holder (164) may be present on the cylindrical end cap (137) (Figure 185 is a general view of a replaceable mount in the form of a carabiner and a connector for changing mounts, in the form of an end cap (137), located separately from each other; Figure 186 is a sectional view of a replaceable mount in the form of a carabiner and a connector for changing mounts, in the form of an end cap (137), located separately from each other; Figure 187 - a replaceable mount in the form of a carabiner is screwed onto the connector for changing mounts in the form of an end cap (137), and thus attached to the cord (3).). The limiter-holder (164) can be in the same plane as the cylinder of an end cap (137) or protrude beyond it. It can be of any shape. The holder (164) may be smooth or have various ridges designed to prevent the user's fingers from slipping. The nut stopper and holder (164) may be made of the same material as the end cap (137) itself or of another less slippery and softer material, such as rubber or latex.
[0291] The outer part of the nut (163), like the nut stopper and holder (164), can be of any shape, be smooth or have various notches and tubercles designed to prevent possible slipping of the user's fingers. The outer part of the nut (163) can be made of the same material as its inner part, or from another less slippery and softer material, such as rubber or latex.
[0292] A similar in principle screw connection is shown in Figures 188 - 190. Here is a connector for changing mounts for cord (3) in the form of a cylindrical end cap (137), where cord (3) comes into it on one side, and nuts (163) with an internal hole with thread (162) on the other side. Replacement mounts with a corresponding cylindrical part with external thread (162) are screwed into the hole in the cylindrical end cap (137).
[0293] Figure 188 shows a general view of a replaceable mount in the form of a carabiner separately from the connector for changing mounts in the form of an end cap (137). Figure 189, in section, shows a replaceable mount in the form of a carabiner and a connector for changing mounts in the form of an end cap (137) separately from each other. Figure 190 shows a replaceable mount in the form of a carabiner screwed into the connector for changing mounts in the form of an end cap (137) and thus attached to cord (3). The outer part of the connector can be of any shape, be smooth or have various notches and tubercles designed to prevent possible slipping of user's fingers. The outer part of the connector can be made of the same material as the inner one, or from another, less slippery and softer material, such as rubber or latex.
[0294] The connector for changing mounts can be in the form of a cylindrical end cap (137) for the cord (3) with an external thread (162), a wide nut (163) screwed onto it and a limiter (164) for the nut (163) or without it (Figure 191 - the connector for changing mounts and the replacement mount are shown separately from each other; Figure 192 - the connector for changing mounts and the replacement mount are docked with each other, but not connected; Figure 193 - the connector for changing mounts and the replacement mount, which are connected to each other using connector nut (163) screwed onto the replacement mount.). The replying part (165) of connection of the mount to the connector is made in the form of a cylinder of exactly the same diameter as the diameter of the cylinder of the end cap (137) of the connector, and it also has exactly the same thread (162).
[0295] To connect the mount to the connector for changing mounts, the counterpart (165) and the end cap (137) are matched with each other and the nut (163) is twisted from the cylinder of the end cap (137) while screwing onto the counterpart (165). As you can see, the nut (163) must be wide enough to connect both cylinders together: for example, twice as wide as the length of the counterpart (165) and equal to the length of the end cap (137).
[0296] As you can see, the thread (162) may not be for the entire length of the end cap (137) and may not reach the limiter (164) exactly for the length of the cylinder of the counterpart (165) of the mount connection with the connector for changing mounts or other accessories.
[0297] To facilitate the task of matching between the counterpart (165) and the end cap (137), they can have convex and concave cones of the male-female type. In Figures 191 - 193, the convex cone (166) is located on the end cap (137), and the concave cone (167) on the counterpart, the cylinder (165). But it can be the other way around.
[0298] Among such connections of the male-female type, convenient quick-release magnetic mounts should be distingueshed separately:
[0299] 1. For a cord (Figures 194 - 196). Figures 194 - 196 show a quick-detachable magnetic fastening of the cord (3) and safety mount (2) of the SSC. Cylinder (168) with an internal hole (169) is integrated into the safety mount (2). Cylinder (170) is inserted inside hole (169). Cylinder (170) at the same time is also an end cap into which cord (3) is inserted. The entire body of the cylinder (170) or part of it can be made of magnetic metal, like iron, as well as the entire body of the cylinder (168) or part of it may be magnet (171), as shown in Figure 194. It can also be the other way around: the entire end cylinder (170) or part of it can be a magnet, and in response, the cylinder (168) can be completely or partially (as shown in Figure 195) made of highly magnetic metal. Figure 196 illustrates both options in the connected working position. It is important to note that with such a connection, the strength of the magnet (171) should be sufficient to hold the smartphone during a fall, but at the same time allow the user to easily detach the hollow cylinder (168) from the end cylinder (170).
[0300] It is important to note that the shape of the cylinder is used here as an example and can be almost anything: oval, square, triangular, in the form of a cone, pyramid, hemisphere, etc., the main thing that remains is the principle of "male" - "female".
[0301] 2. For ribbon. With the help of a magnet (172), fixed on the corresponding edge of the ribbon (9), which is inserted into the rectangular hole (107) of the metal rectangular "box" (104) for connection with the accessories. Metal rectangular "box" (104) in this case is part of the accessories (Figure 197). It may also be the case that permanent accessories, the main purpose of which is to be a smartphone mount (1) and / or a safety mount (2), in addition to its direct function, can play the role of a connector for changing mounts, if the removable accessories has a mount to the connector for changing mounts corresponding to the method of fastening of permanent accessories.
[0302] Figure 198 (bottom view) and Figure 199 (side view) show clip (173) with ribbon (9). These clips are widely used for attaching badges to clothing.
[0303] Accordingly, it can serve as a smartphone mount (1) when attached to the connector I 7 in the form of a loop and a safety mount (2). The disadvantage of such a safety mount (2) is that it can damage delicate fabrics, and it can hardly be threaded into the loop of a shirt, jacket , coats or jackets.
[0304] Figure 200 (side view) and Figure 201 (top view) show that:
[0305] 1. Safety mount (2) (or smartphone mount (1)) with the help of a rectangular ring (143) (can be either separate parts or one piece) and clip (173) can be easily removable.
[0306] 2. At the same time, clip (173) can be used alone or together with clips of a different design (for example, special clips for shirts, delicate fabrics or outerwear with large loops for outerwear buttons).
[0307] Figure 202 (top view), Figure 203 (bottom view) and Figure 204 (side view) show the connecting latch (146), which can be either a smartphone mount (1), a safety mount (2) for a clothes loop, chain, bracelet or any other accessory, on which you can attach a latch (146). Connecting latch (146) can also be a connector for changing fasteners (Figure 207).
[0308] The latch (146) consists of a body (174) with a slot (175) and a cover (176) on hangers (177), which has a curved shape at the end for snapping into the slot (175) of the body (174), and an opening (or eyelet) (178) for a cord or connecting ring (132).
[0309] Figure 205 (top view) and Figure 206 (bottom view) show another variation of the connecting latch (146), which differs in that the top cover (176) here is made of a solid plate of a given shape, while the cover (176) of the connecting latch (146) in Figures 196 (top view) and Figure 197 (bottom view) is made in the form of wire.
[0310] In Figure 207, connecting latch (146) is used instead of clip (173), indicating that clip design (173) is not the only one suitable for the quick-release function of smartphone mount (1) and safety mount (2). Additional clips can be either optional or included in the SSC kit.
[0311] Now let's see how the SC can be attached to a smartphone.
[0312] Methods for attaching connector I, smartphone mount (1) of SSC to smartphone, smartphone case (6) and their tandem:
[0313] Smartphone (5) can be used with or without case (6).
[0314] The fastening of the SSC to the smartphone (5) can be carried out both directly to the smartphone (5) or to the smartphone case (6) without the possibility of reusable quick connection and detachment (for example, glued, screwed), and through the connector I (7), which is attached in one way or another to the smartphone (5), the smartphone case (6) or their tandem and contains a connecting element corresponding to the smartphone mount (1) of SSC. Connector I (7) connecting element and the smartphone mount (1) together form a male-female connection, where one of the parts is on the connector I (7) and the other is on the end of the SSC (the smartphone mount (1)). For example, if the smartphone mount (1) is a carabiner, then the connecting element on the connector I (7) can be a loop or a ring. The use of the connector makes it possible to connect the SSC to the smartphone (5) and disconnect the SSC from the smartphone (5) simply and quickly a large number of times. It also allows you to attach various types of SSC or other accessories to the connector.
[0315] Velcro can be one of the types of connection of the connector I (7) to the smartphone mount (1).
[0316] Velcro
[0317] Fastening to the smartphone (5) can be in the form of Velcro. This is another type of "male"-"female" connection. Figure 208 shows such a connection. By means of an end cap (137) and a connecting ring (132), an end cap (140) for a ribbon is attached to the cord (3) of the SSC. Tape (179) with velcro is clamped into an end cap (140) for a ribbon. On the tape (179) there is a Velcro with studs (181) (glued or sewn, for example), which is attached to a responding Velcro (180) with loops (182), attached to a smartphone (5) or a smartphone case (6) (glued, for example).
[0318] In order to prevent the Velcro with sharp studs (181) on the velcro tape (179) from accidentally sticking to objects or clothes and therefore could not accidentally damage them, Velcro with loops (182) is located on the same side of the tape (179) below the Velcro with sharp studs (181). When bending the tape (179), Velcro (182) with loops closes Velcro with studs (181), as shown in Figure 209. For ease of detaching Velcro (181) and (182) from each other, the tape (179) has an extension (183). An extension (183) makes it convenient to pull the tape (179). An extension (183) may be formed of a same material as tape (179), may be integral to one another, and may have a substantially same thickness. In another example, an extension (183) and tape (179) may be formed of different thicknesses and / or be formed of different materials connected to one another. Grasping area of an extension (183) can have indentations, be knurled or provide a padded surface to further aid the person to pull it when opening the tape (179) by detaching Velcro studs and loops.
[0319] In Figure 208, tape (179) simply hangs down in the open working position when attached to a smartphone.
[0320] It can interfere and cause discomfort to the user. Then it is possible to fix the dangling end of the tape (179), which starts from the bottom of the Velcro with studs (181) on its other side, by adding buttons (snaps) (184) or magnets (185) and metal plates (186), as in Figures 209 and 210. Velcro (180) on smartphone (5) can be both with loops (182) (Figures 208 - 210), and with studs (181). But studs (181) can cling to clothes and spoil it, for example, leave hooks on it, so it is better to use soft Velcro with loops (182). In the same way, the dangling part of the tape (179), equipped with Velcro with loops (182), is absolutely safe for clothes and objects.
[0321] Extention (183) of the tape (179) can be made from the tape (179) itself, or be made from any other material (rubber, silicone, plastic, metal) and, accordingly, have any shape and texture.
[0322] Also, this tape can work on the principle of a self-clamping ring, when it is threaded into a ring or a special hole for a ribbon of smartphone connector, and then closed (Figure 211)
[0323] A similar Velcro tape (179) can be used with a ribbon (9) of the SSC in a similar way, where instead of the end cap (137) for cord (3), end caps (139), (140) for ribbon (9) or the like will be used.
[0324] Also, the Velcro tape (179) may be a part of the ribbon (9) and have the same or different width.
[0325] But the simplest option is shown in Figure 213, when tape (179) is equipped with only one Velcro, for example, with studs (181). When the width of tape (179) and ribbon (9) are the same or when ribbon (9) can have different widths (an extension at its end for attachment of a Velcro with a larger width, and, accordingly, the area of contact with Velcro (180) on smartphone (5) or smartphone case (6) for better adhesion of these Velcro to each other), - there may be no tape (179) at all, and Velcro with studs (181) will be attached directly to the ribbon (9) of SSC.
[0326] And so that the tape (179), being in a non-working state, when not attached to the Velcro (180) on the smartphone (5) or the smartphone case (6), could not accidentally damage clothing or surrounding objects, a patch (187) with Velcro with loops (182) can be used. Patch (187) and Velcro with loops (182) must be no less, but preferably bigger than the Velcro with studs (181) on the ribbon (9) of the SSC (or tape (179)) in order to completely overlap the Velcro with studs (181), even if the user has attached the Velcro with loops (182) on the Velcro with studs (181) slightly crooked or offset.
[0327] It is highly desirable that the tape (179) or ribbon (9) has an extension (183) to conveniently "tear off" the tape (179) or ribbon (9) from the Velcro (180) on the smartphone (5) or smartphone case (6). It is also very desirable that the Velcro protective pad (187) have an extension (183) at least on one edge for ease of tearing the protective pad (187) from the tape (179) or ribbon (9).
[0328] Magnetic mount.
[0329] Also, among other things, a magnetic mount can be such a male-female type of mount fastening. It can be in the form of a metal plate and a magnet of sufficient power to hold the smartphone (5) on the SSC during its fall, but at the same time detach from the metal plate when moderate human force is applied to it in case when disconnection is necessary.
[0330] Figure 212 shows the SSC, where a rectangular magnet (188) acts as a smartphone mount (1). Accordingly, a metal plate must be installed on the body of smartphone (5), on case (6) or between smartphone (5) and case (6). Smartphone (5) is subsequently attached to magnet (188) of SSC with the help of this metal plate.
[0331] Magnet (188) of the SSC can be attached both from the outside of the case (6) or the back cover of the smartphone (5), and inserted into the corresponding recess (189) in the case (6) (Figure 214). Recess (189) must be of the corresponding shape and size to the magnet (188) or larger. In order the cord (3) of the SSC, to which the magnet (188) is attached, not to bend and lie neatly, a special slot (190) can be made in the case (6), into which the cord (3) of the SSC is inserted and fixed in it (Figure 214 - view of the case (6) with a recess (189) and slot (190) and Figure 215 - view of the slot (190) in the case (6) in a side section).
[0332] The elastic material of the case (6) and the shape of the slot (190) make it possible to insert, fix and remove the cord (3) from the slot (190) with little force and do this a large number of times in both directions.
[0333] Ways of attaching connector I (7) and SSC to smartphone (5), smartphone case (6) or their tandem:
[0334] A) Connector I (7) can be screwed to the smartphone case (6) (Figures 216 - 219). In Figure 216, hole (191) in smartphone case (6) matches the diameter of screw (192), allowing screw (192) to pass through case (6) and screw into rod-eyelet lug (193) with hole (194) for smartphone mount (1). In this case, case (6) is sandwiched between rod-eyelet lug (193) and plate (195). Thus, the plate (195) and the case (6) become one. The plate (195) is securely attached to the smartphone case (6) whether the smartphone (5) is in the smartphone case (6) or not. Figure 217 (top view of smartphone case (6)) and 218 (sectional view of smartphone case (6) from the side) and Figure 219 show smartphone (5) in smartphone case (6). A loop (198) is screwed to the cover (6) using a screw (196) and a nut (197). Instead of a screw (196) and a nut (197), there can be a rivet, for example.
[0335] Figure 220 shows side view of the screw (196) and nut (197).
[0336] B) The connector can be glued to a smartphone (5) or a smartphone case (6) (Figures 221-240).
[0337] Figure 221 shows connector I (7) in the form of a plate (195) glued with an adhesive layer (199) to the body of a smartphone (5) (or a smartphone case (6)) with a loop (200) designed to fasten the smartphone mount (1) to the SSC. If the plate (195) is made of metal, it can be used to attach the smartphone (5) to the magnetic smartphone holder.
[0338] The adhesive layer may have also a double-sided adhesive structure, having two adhesive layers for bonding and fixing two glued parts together. Adhesive composition (199) can be pre-applied to plate (195) at the factory and covered with a special protective cover (not shown) for maintaining adhesive (199) in a usable condition, which should be removed immediately before gluing. Also, the adhesive composition (199) can be applied immediately before gluing the plate (195). The loop (200) can be either flexible, as shown in Figure 221, or rigid. Loop (200) and plate (195) may be made from the same or different materials.
[0339] Figure 222 (top view), Figure 223 and Figure 224 (side view) show connector I (7) in the form of a plate (195) with bent parts (201), inside of which a half-loop (202) is inserted. The plate (195) is attached to the smartphone (5) or smartphone case (6) by the adhesive layer (199).
[0340] Figure 223 and Figure 224 show identical connectors, differing only in the shape of the bent parts (201). In Figure 223, the bent part (201) lies in the same plane with the plate (195) on the side of gluing with the smartphone (5) or smartphone case (6) body. In Figure 224, the bent part (201) falls down to thickness equal to or less than the thickness of the adhesive layer (199). Thus, the height of the bent part (201) is reduced, by which it protrudes beyond the plane of the plate (195) from the side opposite to the place of gluing with the smartphone (5) or the smartphone case (6). Thus, the folded part (201) brings less or no discomfort when fixing the smartphone (5) in the smartphone holder.
[0341] The folded part (201) can be lowered even more than the thickness of the adhesive layer (199) if the design of the back cover of the smartphone (5) or the smartphone case (6) allows it.
[0342] Figure 225 (side view) and Figure 226 (top view) show the connector I (7), consisting of the main part (203), the ring (204) for fastening the SSC, fixed to the main part (203) with the help of protruding cylindrical horns (205), which enter the corresponding holes in the ring (204). Holes can be both through and blind. Conversely, cylindrical protrusions (205) can be on the inside of the ring (204) and enter the corresponding holes in the main part of the connector (203). The connector (203) is attached to the smartphone body (5) or smartphone case (6) using an adhesive layer (199) applied to one of the sides of the main part of the connector (203).
[0343] Figures 227 (side view) and 228 (top view) show a connector I (7) similar to the previous one, but here the main part of the connector (206) is integral with the ring (207) for fastening the SSC. Although the main body (206) and the ring (207) can be made from the same material or from different materials with different physical and tactile properties.
[0344] In addition, in the center of the connector I (7) there may be a flat metal plate (208), cast or inserted into the body of the main part of the connector (203) or (206), and designed to be attached to a magnetic smartphone holder (Figure 229).
[0345] Such a connector I (7) is attached to a smartphone (5) or a smartphone case (6) using an adhesive layer (199).
[0346] Figure 230 (top view) and Figure 231 (side view) show the connector I (7) in the form of a plate (195) with protruding parts (201), into the holes in which a semi-ring (202) is inserted for fastening the SSC. Such a connector I (7) is attached to a smartphone (5) or a smartphone case (6) a using adhesive composition (199). Figure 232 (side view) shows a connector I (7) identical to that shown in Figure 199 and described above.
[0347] Unlike the connector I (7) in Figure 221 and Figure 232, where the flexible ring (200) is attached on top of the plate (195), the flexible ring (200) in the connector I (7) in Figure 233, is attached to the side in the same plane as the plate (195) and does not create any obstructions or discomfort when attaching the smartphone (5) to the magnetic smartphone holder.
[0348] In Figure 234 (general view) and Figure 235 and 236 (different side projections) of the connector I (7), consisting of a plate (195), knocked out, cast, welded or glued eyelets (209), into which a ring (210) is inserted for fastening the SSC. Such a connector I (7) is attached to a smartphone (5) or a smartphone case (6), using an adhesive layer (199).
[0349] Some connectors I (7), due to their shape, can only be glued to a special smartphone case (6). For example, when attaching the plate (195) of the connector I (7) to the smartphone case (6) with the corresponding recesses, the bent part (201)can also face inward (toward the case (6)).
[0350] Figure 237 (side sectional view) and Figure 238 (top view from the outside of the smartphone case (6)) show the connector I (7) for a SSC in the form of a plate (195) attached with adhesive composition (199) to the case (6) for a smartphone. It can also be integrated into case (6) and be a part of it. If plate (195) is part of case (6), then we receive connector I (7), which is an integral part of case (6). The plate (195) lies on the cover (6), but the curved part (201) does not protrude beyond the plane of the plate (195), since it is directed not outward, but inward, towards the cover (6), where the corresponding recess is made. As a result, the case (6) must be thick enough to fit in its recess the protruding part of the curved part (201) of the plate (195). A semi-ring (202) is threaded into the curved part (201). Now the SSC can be attached to a semi-ring (202) using the smartphone mount (1). In Figures 239 (side view in section) and 240 (top view from the outer side of smartphone case (6)), in contrast to Figures 237 and 238, in case (6) there is a recess not only for the semi-ring (202) and the curved part (201), but also for the plate (195) itself, which in this case is in the same plane with the case (6) along its outer side. Due to this, the cover (6) and the connector I (7) look more harmonious and the plate (195) of the connector I (7) most likely does not cling to objects or clothing fabric during operation. But at the same time, of course, the thickness of the cover (6) increases.
[0351] When the plate (195) is made of magnetic metal, like iron, it can be used to mount the smartphone (5) on the magnetic holder.
[0352] C) Into the holes in your smartphone or smartphone case. The connector I (7) and the SSC can be tied to a smartphone (5) or a smartphone case (6), or the SSC can be tied to an connector I (7).
[0353] Sometimes manufacturers of smartphones and smartphone cases for them make a special hole in the smartphone (5) or case (6) body, through which you can pass a thin cord, tie a knot from it and thus attach the cord of the SSC or connector I (7) to them. More often now such holes can be found on smartphone cases (6).
[0354] Connector I (7) in the form of ribbon (161) threaded into hole (211) in one of the parts of the malefemale type fastex and SSC, which is based on ribbon (9), can be attached to smartphone case (6) by threading ribbon (161) through at least two special corresponding parallel slots (211) with a jumper (216), for which ribbon (9) or (161) will later be held on smartphone case (6) (Figure 241 is a view of the outside of smartphone case (6) from above; and Figure 242 - view of the smartphone case (6) from the side in section). The width of the holes (211) in the smartphone case (6) is greater than the width of the ribbon (161) of connector I (7).
[0355] Jumper (216) can be made of the same material as the smartphone case (6) itself, or of another, more durable and rigid material, for example. Figure 242 shows how the ribbon (161) of connector I (7) enters one of the slots (211) from the outside of the smartphone case (6) inward, goes around the jumper (216) and exits into another slot (211) from the inside to the outside of the smartphone case (6). Further, this end of the ribbon (161) connects to itself, forming a loop, with which it holds on to the jumper (216) of the smartphone case (6). The ribbon can be fastened with stitching, gluing, welding, buttons, snap press buttons, rivets, magnets and more.
[0356] In Figure 242, the ribbon (9) or (161) connects to itself with the help of a clamping bar (217), consisting of two halves (there may be three parts, where the third part is located in the middle between the two parts of the ribbon (9) or (161)). In Figure 243 we see holes (218) in the clamping bar (217), which can be through for rivets and have recesses (219) on the outside of the clamping bars (217) so that the top of the rivet does not protrude beyond the outer plane of the clamping bars (217). There can be various screws instead of rivets. And the holes (218) in the clamping bars (217) may be threaded.
[0357] The end of ribbon (161) of connector I (7), which comes out of the smartphone case (6), and the end of the ribbon (161), which comes out of the through slot (211) in one of the parts of the male-female type fastex, can be attached to different places on the ribbon (161), as shown in Figure 244 .
[0358] The end of the ribbon (161) of connector I (7), which comes out of the smartphone case (6), can be attached to the ribbon (161), and the end of the ribbon (161), which comes out of the through slot (211) in one of the parts of male-female type fastex, can be attached to the smartphone case (6), as shown in Figure 245.
[0359] Also, the end of the ribbon (161) of connector I (7), which comes out of the smartphone case (6), as well as the end of the ribbon (161), which comes out of the through slot (211) in one of the parts of the fastex, can be attached to the smartphone case (6) in one place or in different places, as shown in Figure 246.
[0360] The end of the ribbon (161) of connector I (7), which comes out of the smartphone case (6), can be further attached to the smartphone case (6), while the end of the ribbon (161), which comes out of the through slot (211) in one of the parts of the male-female type fastex of connector I (7) , is attached to the ribbon (161) of connector I (7) itself, as shown in Figure 247.
[0361] And finally, the end of the ribbon (161) of the connector I (7), which comes out of the smartphone case (6), can be further attached to the other end of the ribbon (161) of the connector I (7), which comes out of the through slot (211) in one of the parts of the male-female type fastex, as shown in the Figure. 248.
[0362] D) Connector I (7) can be built into the body of a smartphone (5), its case (6) or be a part of it (Figures 216, 249, 250, 261, 262, 263 and Figure 272, when the plate (225) is a case (6) or a part of it). The SSC can be part of a smartphone case, or vice versa, a smartphone case that is a part of the SSC can act as a smartphone mount (1). Ribbon (161) or cord (212) of the connector I (7) can be one piece with case (6).
[0363] Figures 249 (top view of the smartphone case (6)) and 250 (side sectional view of the smartphone case (6)) show the smartphone (5) in the smartphone case (6). Here, case (6) is one piece together with connector I (7).
[0364] Connector I (7) in this case may consist of a ribbon (161), to which the "female" (160) of the fastex is attached.
[0365] The ribbon (161) is threaded into a through slot (211) (rectangular hole) in the "female" (160) of the fastex and in some way (gluing, welding, rivet, stitching, and so on) closes on a smartphone case (6).
[0366] Figures 249 and 250 show connector I (7) with a non-removable part of the male-female type fastex.
[0367] For greater versatility of the connector 1 (7), its part of the male-female type fastex must be able to change for another, in other words to be removable. To do this, one end of the ribbon (161) is part of the smartphone case (6), and the other end of the ribbon (161) is attached to the smartphone case (6) (Figure 251 - side view) or ribbon (161) (Figure 252 and Figure 253 - side view; Figure 254 - rear view) with help of Velcro / buttons / snap press buttons / magnetic fastener (220) and other things in its design, which will allow you to change the connector I (7) in the form of a "female" fastex (160) or remove it altogether and use the loop from ribbon (161) as an independent connector I (7).
[0368] Accordingly, the smartphone mount (1) of the SSC is a ribbon (9) with a "male" fastex (159) fixed at its end. "Female" (160) and "male" (159) fastex can be located opposite to that shown in Figures 249 and 250: "male" fastex (159) is attached to the cover (6), and "female" (160) - to the ribbon (9) of SSC. Actually, the connector I (7) itself may not have the form of a fastex, but any other form of a reusable connection of the male-female type.
[0369] Figure 255 and 256 show how a fastex can be connected to a cord. So, the cord (212) can be threaded into a special hole (213) in the fastex (214), as shown above in Figure 255, and be tied into a knot, clamped with staples or fixed with an end cap. The hole can be either centered or offset from the center of the middle of the fastex.
[0370] Instead of hole (213), fastex (214) may have an eyelet (136) for the cord, as shown above in Figure 256. At the bottom of Figure 255 fastex (215) is shown. Fastex (215) instead of a through slot (211), as in fastex (159) and (160) (Figure 249), and a through hole (213), as in fastex (214), has a non-through hole in the form of an end cap (137) in the body of fastex (215), into which cord (3) or (212) is inserted.
[0371] Ribbon (9) or (161) can be attached to the fastex using a slot (211) made in it or a special rectangular eyelet (136), as shown in Figure 249. Also, a rectangular hole can be made in the fastex into which ribbon (9) or (161) is inserted, as shown below in Figure 256.
[0372] Figures 257 (rear view) and 258 (side view) also show the option when the connector I (7) in the form of a "female" fastex (160) is integrated into the case (6) without any intermediaries. This integration firmly fixes the connector I (7) in the form of a "female" fastex (160) to the cover (6), which makes more convenient it to attach and detach the replying part of the connector I (7) in the form of a "male" fastex (159) of SSC. In this case, the connector I (7) in the form of a "female" fastex (160) can be located anywhere in the case (6). Be with it in the same plane or at any angle relative to the case (6), be of any shape, principle of operation, size and material.
[0373] As it was mentioned earlier, the cord (212) or ribbon (161) of the connector I (7), as well as the cord (3) or ribbon (9) of the SSC, can be integral with the case (6). They can also be attached to the case (6), as shown in Figures 259 (top view of the back of the smartphone case (6)) and 260 (side view). Figures 259 and 260 show a case (6) with an end cap (137) integrated into it, into which the cord (212) of the connector I (7) is subsequently inserted (or the cord (3) of the SSC, when the smartphone case (6) is the one with the SSC and acts as a smartphone mount (1)) and fastened with glue or thermally.
[0374] An end cap (137) may also be magnetic. Instead of the cord (212) of the connector 1 (7), the cord (3) of the SSC can also be inserted directly into such an end cap (137) of the case (6), so the case (6) and the SSC will become one. And with a magnetic fastening of the end cap (137), such a fastening of the SSC and cover (6) will be quick-detachable.
[0375] If the hole in the end cap (137) is not round, but flat (rectangular) and corresponds to the width of the ribbon, then instead of cord (3) or (212), ribbon (9) or (161) can be inserted into it and subsequently attached to it.
[0376] Figure 261 (sectional side view) and Figures 262, 263 (top view of smartphone case (6)) show connector I (7) in the form of a ring (207) (Figure 263) and a half ring (207) (Figure 262), which is part of the smartphone case (6).
[0377] Ring (207) (Figure 263) or half ring (207) (Figure 262) in a static state lies parallel to the cover (6), being a part of it. In this case, the ring (207) and the half ring (207) can be made both from the same material (cut or molded) as the smartphone case (6), and from another (soldered into the smartphone case (6)). "Ring" and "half-ring" are conventional designations. It can be of any shape. As you can see, the only difference is in the shape of the cutouts. When using the connector I (7) in the form of a ring or half-ring (207) to connect with the SSC, the user lifts the ring or half-ring (207) and attaches the smartphone mount (1) of the SSC to it in the form of a carabiner or cord, for example.
[0378] Inside the ring (207) there may be a semicircle (221) (or another Figure corresponding to the shape of the ring (207)), which simply fills the inner void of the ring (207), covering as much as possible and thereby protecting the body of the smartphone (5).
[0379] E) Connector I (7) and SSC can be inserted between smartphone (5) and smartphone case (6) (Figures 264 - 266). In Figure 264, connector I (7) in the form of a plate (195) and a loop (200) is inserted between smartphone case (6) and smartphone (5). Plate (195) and loop (200) can be made of different materials and connected to each other in any way: welding, gluing, etc. Loop (200) may be molded into plate (195), etc. Loop (200) and plate (195) also may be one piece and made from the same material (liquid injection molding, stamping, die cutting, or rapid proto typing using additive manufacturing (e.g., laser sintering or stereolithography)).
[0380] Figure 265 shows the connector I (7) for the SSC, which consists of a plate (195) sandwiched between the smartphone case (6) and the smartphone (5). The plate (195) has a protrusion (193) with a hole (194) for a cord or carabiner.
[0381] Plate (195) can be made from any material. If it is made of a magnetic material, then it can be used in conjunction with a magnet, for example, to fix a smartphone (5) on a magnetic holder.
[0382] The protrusion (193) can be either cast in one piece together with the plate (195), glued or welded to the plate (195), or screwed to it with a screw (192) (Figures 216 and 266). In Figure 266, protrusion (193) passes through hole (222) in smartphone case (6) and is screwed with screw (192) to plate (195). This is also true for cases where protrusion (193) is cast in one piece together with plate (195), or glued or welded to plate (195).
[0383] The rod-eyelet lug (193) may also be of any other shape, such as the shape of eyelet (223) in Figure 267, which may be integrally cast with plate (195), welded to plate (195), or stamped from plate (195).
[0384] Figure 268 is a top view of the case (6), where through the hole (224) in the case (6) you can see the rodeyelet lug (193) or (223) on the plate (195).
[0385] Figures 269 and 270 (side view in section from different sides) and Figure 271 (top view) show another design of the connector I (7) of the SSC out of many possible, which consists of a plate (195) put in between the smartphone (5) and the smartphone case (6). On the plate (195) there are eyelets (209) (glued, welded, cast together with the plate (195) or stamped from the plate (195)), into which the ring (210) is threaded, for which the SSC is attached with . For the ring (210) and the eyelets (209), a special hole (224) is made in the case (6). Since they go beyond the plane of the plate (195).
[0386] Figure 272 shows another modification of such a plate (195), where the plate (225) has a protrusion (226) with a hole for the ring (204), which is the place where the smartphone mount (1) of SSC will be attached. The advantage of this design is the increased diameter of the ring (204) in comparison with the diameter of the eyelet (223) in Figure 267 or the diameter of the hole (194) in the rod-eyelet lug (193) in Figure 265. This allows you to quickly and conveniently connect the connector I (7) to the SSC. The ring (204) is movable in the protruding part (226) and can lie parallel to the plate (225), thereby occupying little space and not interfering with the installation of the smartphone (5) in the smartphone holder.
[0387] The ring (204) and / or the protrusion (227) in the inner diameter of the ring (204) may be magnetic and act as a metal plate for the magnetic smartphone (5) holder. The ring (204) must not be round only, but may be oval, polyhedral or irregularly shaped.
[0388] If plate (225) is part of case (6), then we get connector I (7), which is an integral part of case (6).
[0389] If glue (199) is applied on the opposite side to the ring (204) of the plate (195), with the help of which the plate (195) can be securely fixed to the body of the smartphone (5), or on the smartphone case (6), then this is an example of how the connector I (7) can be glued to the smartphone (5) or case (6).
[0390] Figures 273 (side sectional view) and 274 (top view of smartphone case (6)) show connector I (7) as a plate (195) sandwiched between smartphone case (6) and smartphone (5), having a protrusion (226) into which a ring (204) is inserted. The ring (204) passes through a special opening (224) in the case (6). The opening (224) may have a special recess (228) to facilitate the gripping of the ring (204) by the user's fingers.
[0391] Inside the ring (204) there may be a protrusion (227) which is in the same plane as the ring (204) when it is in the folded state: parallel to the cover (6). If the ring (204) and the protrusion (227) are made of magnetic material, the protrusion (227) increases the surface, and, accordingly, the force of contact with the magnet when using a magnetic fastening. This is similar to what is shown in Figures 272, 275 and 276.
[0392] Figures 275 (side sectional view) and 276 (top view of case (6)) show the connector I (7) in the form of a plate (195) with a c-shaped bent part (201), into which a half ring (202) was previously inserted. The plate (195) is sandwiched between the smartphone case (6) and the smartphone (5). The c-shaped bent part (201) of the plate (195) with the half ring (202) passes through the hole (229) in the case (6).
[0393] The plate (195) in this case must be made of a material capable of deformation under the influence of a force applied to it without damaging its integrity and capable of retaining the shape obtained as a result of deformation after the end of the force, for example, metal.
[0394] Another type of connector I (7) or smartphone mount (1) that can be put in between a smartphone (5) and a smartphone case (6) is the T-shape connector.
[0395] T-shape connector
[0396] Connector I (7) or smartphone mount (1) can be attached to smartphone (5) or smartphone case (6) through flexible plate (230). This plate (230) can be made of polyurethane, PVC, silicone, rubber, leather, leatherette and so on. In case it is connector I (7), on the other end of this connector an appropriate fastener must be attached for attaching to smartphone mount (1).
[0397] If this is a smartphone mount (1), it can even be a part of the ribbon (9) of the SSC. Thus, the ribbon (9) of the SSC will act as a smartphone mount (1).
[0398] Or it can be a permanent smartphone mount (1), attached in one way or another (glued, for example) directly or through the connector for changing mounts (although in this case the plate (230) can act as connector I (7), and the connector for changing mounts can act as smartphone mount (1)) to cord (3) or ribbon (9).
[0399] Gluing is a one-time method of attaching the plate (230). The adhesive composition (199) can be applied to the plate (230) both immediately before gluing, and at the stage of production of the plate
[0400] (230) and hidden under a special protective film (not shown) for maintaining adhesive (199) in a usable condition until the very moment of gluing. The shape of the plate (230) does not matter much for its fastening.
[0401] But there can also be a mechanical reusable way to attach the plate (230) to the smartphone case (6) without using glue (199). But in this case, the shape of the plate (230) plays a key role, namely the shape of the end of the plate (230), with which it is attached to the smartphone case (6). As a rule, this is a T- shape (Figure 277). Let's take a closer look to it further.
[0402] It is the jumper (231) that provides mount of the plate (230) to the smartphone case (6). The jumper
[0403] (231) can be formed from the plate (230), either by forming a T-shaped plate (230), or be formed of different material and attached to the plate (230) in some way. Jumper (231) and a plate (230) may have same or different thickness.
[0404] The plate (230) can be attached to the smartphone case (6) by being inserted inside the smartphone case (6) from its inside with a T-shaped jumper (231), and then the other end of the plate (230) is threaded from the inside of the smartphone case (6) out through the slot (232).
[0405] The width W of the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6) must be bigger than the width W1 of the plate (230) and less than the width W2 of the T-shaped jumper (231).
[0406] The height Hl of the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6) must be bigger than the thickness S of the plate (230) and the thickness SI of the T-shaped jumper (231).
[0407] The maximum height H2 of the T-shaped jumper (231) is limited only by the height H3 of the inner flat part of the smartphone case (6) and the height H5 of the slot (232) from the bottom of the smartphone case (6): H2max= H3 - H5 = H4 .
[0408] If any accessories are attached to the plate (230), the height, width and shape of the plate (230) must be changed accordingly so that it go through the slot (232) in the smartphone case (6).
[0409] In cases where fixed accessories for attaching the plate (230) to the smartphone case (6), which cannot pass through the slot (232) in the smartphone case (6), are fixed at the other end of the plate (230) - the plate (230) is inserted inside the smartphone case (6) into the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6) from the outside of the smartphone case (6) with the jumper (231) forward. In order for this to be possible, the width W of the slot (232) in the smartphone case (6) must be smaller than the width W2 of the T- shaped jumper (231).
[0410] So, first, part J of the jumper (231) of the plate (230) is inserted perpendicularly to the smartphone case (6) into the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6). Then the edge J is maximally pushed behind the inner side of the smartphone case (6) - in such a way that the plate (230) abut with an angle 0 between the plate (230) and the jumper (231) into one of the edges of the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6). The plate (230) then rotates around the axis in point O relative to the smartphone case (6) in such a way that that the remaining part K of the jumper (231) of the plate (230) passes through the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6) following the part J of the jumper (231).
[0411] Parts J and M of the jumper (231) may be the same (symmetrical), which allows the jumper (231) to be inserted into the slot (232) by either end thereof; or different in length (asymmetrical), which, if part M is shorter than part J, will not allow insertion of the jumper (231) with part M into slot (232), since then part J will probably not pass through the slot (232):
[0412] M + N = K
[0413] J + N = K'
[0414] If J > M , then K' > K
[0415] And if W ~ K and W < K' - then this statement is true.
[0416] Further, the plate (230) is centered with respect to the center of the slot (232) in the smartphone case (6) and thus is held on the inside of the smartphone case (6) by the edges J and M of the jumper (231).
[0417] The height Hl of the slot (232) must be bigger than the thickness S of the plate (230) and also biggerr than the thickness SI of the T-shaped jumper (231).
[0418] In order for the jumper (231) to be able to pass through the hole (232) in the smartphone case (6) in this way, its height H2 and shape are limited by the following boundaries (Figure 278):
[0419] - the left side is limited by the radius R centered at point P. In this case, the right side of the jumper (231) of the plate (230) is inserted first into the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6);
[0420] - the right side is limited by the radius R1 centered at the point Q. In this case, the left side of the jumper
[0421] (231) of the plate (230) is inserted first into the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6).
[0422] - both the right and left side of the jumper (231) of the plate (230) can be inserted first into the slot
[0423] (232) of the smartphone case (6). In this case, the shape of the jumper (231) is limited simultaneously by the boundaries of the radii R and Rl, as described above.
[0424] The radius R and Rl must be less than the width W of the slot (232) of the smartphone case (6) . The maximum height H6 of the jumper (231) is determined by the radius R in the first variant, the radius Rl in the second variant and by the intersection point T of the radii R and R1 in the third variant (Figure 278).
[0425] Figure 279 shows side section of the fastening of the plate (230) to the smartphone case (6) using the T- shape jumper (231). The smartphone (5) presses the jumper (231) to the smartphone case (6), preventing it from being in a position where the T-shape jumper (231) could come out of the hole (232) in the smartphone case (6). This can only be done by removing the smartphone (5) from the smartphone case (6). Thus, while the smartphone (5) is in the smartphone case (6), the plate (230) is securely attached to the smartphone case (6) by the T-shape jumper (231).
[0426] For a more reliable and accurate location of the jumper (231) inside a smartphone case (6), one (Figure 278), two (Figure 283), three (Figures 280-282) and more slots (233) can be made in the jumper (231), which are put on the L-shaped protrusions (234) on the inside of the smartphone case (6) (Figure 281). The height H7 of the slots (233) in the jumper (231) must be bigger than the height H8 of the vertical part of the L-shaped protrusions (234). The width W3 of the slots (233) in the jumper (231) must also be bigger than the width W4 of the L-shaped protrusions (234).
[0427] The length LI of the horizontal part of the L-shaped protrusions (234) should be bigger than the thickness SI of the jumper (231). The jumper (231) with slots (233) is put on the protrusions (234) on the inside of the smartphone case (6) and descends on the horizontal part of the L-shaped protrusions (234). The vertical part of the protrusions (234) at the same time fixes the jumper (231) on the smartphone case (6) (Figure 281 and 282). In this case, there is no need for the smartphone (5) to stay in the smartphone case (6) for reliable connection of the plate (230) with the smartphone case (6) using the T-shaped jumper (231).
[0428] The jumper (231), as shown in Figure 280, cannot pass through the slot (232) in the smartphone case (6) due to its height H2, which is bigger than the width W of the slot (232).
[0429] The maximum height H2 of jumper (231) can be increased by multiplication by folding jumper (231) in half (Figure 283) or in several folds (Figure 284 - jumper (231) capable of folding into four folds) along the fold line (235) of the base matrix of the jumper (231). Each subsequent fold is a mirror of the previous one along the fold line (235).
[0430] Depending on the height H2 of the base matrix of the jumper (231), the limiting radii R and R1 may be more (Figure 283) or less (Figure 284) explicit or absent at all, if the height H2 is less than the lower point U of the . intersection of the corresponding limiting radius with the vertical edge of the jumper (231). Thus, there may be no cutouts (236) for the restrictive radii R and R1 on the jumper (231) at all, they can be on one side, right or left (Figure 283), or be on both sides (Figure 284).
[0431] E) Connector I (7) can be inserted into the smartphone case (6).
[0432] Connector I (7) of the SSC in the form of a metal (in the case of magnetic fastening) or another plate (195) can be inserted inside the case (6), using the property of the case (6) to bend, as shown in Figure 285. Here, the case (6) in the side section is bent in half at point V. This allows you to put the metal plate (195) into the protrusions (237) of the case (6), which will hold the metal plate (195) in the case (6) while the case (6) is in a straightened position. Smartphone (5) in case (6) does not allow case (6) to bend, and, therefore, there is no risk of metal plate (195) falling out of case (6) while smartphone (5) is inside of it.
[0433] To remove the metal plate (195) from the case (6), it is sufficient to remove the smartphone (5) from the case (6) and then bend the case (6) so that the metal plate (195) comes out of the protrusions (237) of the case (6).
[0434] The metal plate (195) may be straight and inserted into the inner pocket (238) of the cover (6), as shown in Figure 286; be inserted into recesses (237) from the outer side of the cover (6) (Figure 287) or from the inside of the cover (6) (Figure 288).
[0435] The metal plate (195) can be straight at the point of contact and interaction with the magnet (188) of the SSC or other magnetic attachment, but it can also have L-shaped edges (239) for fixing the metal plate (195) in the protrusions (237) of the case (6). Such a metal plate (195) with curved edges (239) can be fixed from the outside of the case (6) (Figure 289) and from the inside of the case (6) (Figure 290).
[0436] Safety mounts can be very different in shape and size. Let's analyze some of them:
[0437] Clothespins.
[0438] Metal clothespin (173) ("bulldog" clip as this term is known in the art), the most common fastener today is shown in Figure 291 (bottom view) and Figure 292 (side view). This clothespin is often used to attach badges to clothing. The bulldog clip is advantageous because it allows to be attached either to a belt, the top of a pair of pants, a skirt, a dress, a shirt, a sweater, a jacket, a collar end or any other item of apparel. The disadvantage of such a safety mount is that it can damage delicate fabrics with its sharp edges, and it can hardly be threaded through the loop of a shirt, jacket, coat etc.
[0439] Grasping area of all described herein clothespins can have indentations, be knurled or provide a padded surface to further aid the person in attaching or removing attachment mechanism.
[0440] The spring-loaded clips (clothespins) can be of any desired form, size and variety.
[0441] Figure 293 (side view) and Figure 294 (bottom view) show another type of spring-clip - a clothespin (240) (an "alligator" clip) having a long thin nose (241) with many teeth (242) (may be without teeth
[0442] (242) also) to cling to clothing. The long, thin, narrow nose (241) of the clothespin (240) can easily pass through holes and eyelets in clothing or loops on it (belt loop or buttonhole) for better hooking.
[0443] In Figure 295, the clothespin (243) has an elongated lower part (244), and the upper part (245) has the shape of an inverted basin, forming an empty space inside, where a piece of clothing will fit from the edge of the shelf to the beginning of the buttonhole. Its flat part (246) should not be less than this distance (recommended size 36 mm), and the distance between parts (244) and (246) of the clothespin
[0444] (243) should not be less than the thickness of the clothing shelves to which the safety mount (2) is attached (recommended value 5 mm). The edge (247) of the clothespin (243) may be flat, as shown in Figure 295, with teeth (242), etc. to better hold the clothespin (243) on the buttonhole.
[0445] Figure 296 shows an extended version of the clothespin (243) shown in Figure 295.
[0446] Figure 297 shows a clothespin (243) with a large, in comparison with the clothespin (243) shown in Figures 295 and 296, distance between its upper and lower parts. This will allow you to use it in the loops of clothes with a thicker shelf: jackets, coats, sheepskin coats, etc.
[0447] Figure 298 (opened) and Figure 299 (closed) show a modified clothespin (248), similar to the clothespin (243) in Figures 295, 296 and 297, and differing in that it has a symmetrical nose (246). Thus, the handles of the clothespin (249) and the tip (247) of its nose move slightly away from the human body, reducing the risk of injury (scratches, etc.), or simply possible unpleasant tactile sensations.
[0448] Figure 300 shows a hybrid (250) of clothespins (243) and (248) shown in Figures 295 - 299.
[0449] Figure 301 shows a clothespin (251), which differs from the clothespin (250) in Figure 300 in that the nose tip (247) is pushed further up, allowing him to be placed not in the thickness of the shelf of clothes inside the loop, but outside. Closing of the nose of the clothespin occurs at the top, thereby minimizing the possibility of discomfort for a person from such a safety mount when it comes into contact with the human body.
[0450] In Figure 302, clip (252) in the form of clothespin (243), shown in Figure 295, unlike clothespins (243), (250) and (251) in Figures 295, 296, 297, 300, 301, like clothespin (252) in Figure 303, unlike clothespins (248) in Figures 298 and 299, has soft rubber pads (253), thereby combining the simplicity of the design of the clothespin and the possibility of using it with delicate fabrics.
[0451] Clips for suspenders.
[0452] Another type of clothespin can be the so-called "braces clip" (254) (Figure 304). Its design, as a rule, is more complex, but it has several advantages over a clothespin:
[0453] 1. It has soft pads (253), usually rubber, at the pressure points against the fabric, greatly reducing the risk of tissue damage. Therefore, it is more suitable for use with most delicate fabrics;
[0454] 2. The latch handle on the braces clip, unlike clothespin handles, is more compact and does not have dangerous sharp edges.
[0455] Although the size of the braces clip can vary, two sizes are recommended:
[0456] 1. The height "H" is approximately 1-2 mm, and the length "L" is 16 mm. This clip is well suited for a shirt buttonhole. An approximate view of such a clip is shown in Figures 305 and 306.
[0457] 2. The height "H" is approximately 5mm and the length "L" is 36mm. This dip is well suited for the loop of a jacket, coat and sheepskin coat. An approximate view of such a clip is shown in Figures 307 or 308.
[0458] Figure 306 and Figure 308 show another form of braces clip (255). Carabiner with an extended main part.
[0459] Figure 309 shows a carabine (256) with an extended main part. It can also be used to fasten the SSC to a buttonhole or a loop on clothing. Similar to clothespin (243) in Figure 295, the height and length of the carabiner depend on the expected thickness of the clothing shelf and the distance from the edge of the buttonhole (loop) to the edge of the clothing shelf.
[0460] Latch (257).
[0461] Figure 310 shows latch (257), which is an extended version of latch (146) and can be used, for example, as a safety mount (2) by threading through the buttonhole slot. The greater the distance between the edge of the buttonhole and the edge of the shelf of clothing on which this buttonhole is located, the longer the latch (257) should be.
[0462] In place of the latch (257), there can be any other safety mount (2), which eventually can be threaded into the buttonhole.
[0463] T-shaped clasp on the principle of cufflinks on a shirt.
[0464] The safety mount (2) can work by the principle of a cufflink on a shirt, if the user intends to mount the SSC in a buttonhole or any other hole through which a T-shaped swivel connector (258) can be passed. Figures 311 - 327 show several design options for such safety mounts.
[0465] In Figures 311 - 315, the cord (3) of the SSC enters the end cap (137), which is a part of the T-shaped swivel connector (258), consisting of two legs (259) and a rotating clasp (260). The axis (261) connects the rotating clasp (260) to the end cap (137) and allows it to rotate relative to it. Figure 311 - top view when folded. Figure 312 - side view when folded. Figure 313 - top view in unfolded working position. Figure 314 - side view in unfolded working position. Figure 315 - general view in the unfolded working position.
[0466] T-shaped swivel connector (258) in Figures 316 - 319, in contrast to Figures 311 - 315, does not have legs (259), which were the one with the end cap (137). Instead of them, the rotating clasp (260) now has protrusions (262) with an axis (261) that connects the rotating clasp (260) to the end cap (137) and allows it to rotate relative to it .
[0467] Figure 316 - top view when folded. Figure 317 - side view in unfolded working condition. Figure 318 - general view in the unfolded working position. Figure 319 - side view in the folded state.
[0468] In contrast to the T-shaped swivel connector (258) in Figures 316 - 319, where the rotating clasp (260) is flat, the rotating clasp (260) in Figures 320 - 323 is C-shaped, following the shape of the cylindrical end cap (137) and allowing it and part of the cord (3) to hide in itself when folded, which makes such a T- shaped swivel connector (258) more compact in folded state (Figures 320 and 323). Figure 320 - top view when folded. Figure 321 - side view in unfolded working position. Figure 322 - General view in the unfolded working position. Figure 323 - side view when folded.
[0469] In contrast to the T-shaped swivel connector (258) in Figures 320 - 323, the T-shaped swivel connector (258) in Figures 324-327 does not have an axis (261). Its role is performed by cord (3), which is able to easily bend, leaving the end cap (137) in place X (Figure 324 - side view in the unfolded working position and Figure 325 - general view in the unfolded working position). In order to center the cord (3), the rotating clasp (260) in Figures 324 - 327 consists approximately 2 / 5 of the end cap (137) and 3 / 5 of the C-shaped extension of the end cap (263), into which a part of the cord (3) is placed in the folded state (Figure 326 - top view, and Figure 327 - side view).
[0470] Tie clip shape.
[0471] Also, the safety mount (2) can be in the form of a clothespin (264) for a tie, a ballpoint pen or a microphone buttonhole, it can be hooked on pockets, buttonholes and loops of clothing (Figure 328), which is attached to the cord (3) of the SSC using an end cap (137), which is a part of the clothespin (264).
[0472] Summing up, we can conclude that the design, shape and size of safety mounts can be very different. They may be designed exclusively or mainly for a particular method and / or place of attachment; or, conversely, strive for a greater or lesser degree of universality, having one or another set of methods and / or attachment points.
[0473] One of the attachment points of the safety mount can be a bracelet (18) on a person's wrist. It can be almost any bracelet that can withstand the weight of a smartphone during its fall and which can be attached to SSC mount. It can also be a special bracelet designed specifically for safety mount (2) of the SSC. The simplest design of such a bracelet is shown in Figures 329 and 330, where a ring (157) is put on the silicone bracelet (18). Therefore the safety mount (2) of the SSC can be hooked on this ring (157). The safety mount (2) of the SSC can also be hooked directly on the bracelet (18), but the ring (157) is thinner, which increases the range of possible tethers. It is also rigid, unlike the bracelet, and therefore it will be more convenient for a person to hook the safety mount (2) to the hard ring (157) than to the soft bracelet (18). The hole created by the ring (157) is also larger, since we see almost the entire diameter of the ring (157), and in the case of the bracelet (18), after putting it on the hand, only a small gap remains (Figure 329), as a rule. Therefore, it is much easier to attach the safety mount (2) to the ring (157). The movement of the ring (157) deep into the center of the bracelet (18) is limited by the difference in the diameters of the bracelet (18) and the hand on which the bracelet (18) is put on.
[0474] Figures 331 and 333 show a variation of the connection of the bracelet (18) and the ring (157) by threading the ring (157) into a special hole (266) in the thickening (265) of the bracelet (18). This allows you to strictly limit the location of the ring (157) on the bracelet (18), but this, unlike the previous version, will require the production of special bracelets (18) with a thickening (265) and a hole
[0475] (266) in it for the ring (157).
[0476] Figures 332 and 334 show the following variation of a special bracelet (18) for attaching a safety mount (2). Here, the ring (157) is also inserted into a special hole (267) in the bracelet (18), but here the hole
[0477] (267) is formed from the bracelet (18) itself by connection (268) (gluing, heat sealing, welding, stitching, rivet, staple or any other way) connecting the two inner parts of the bracelet (18), which form two asymmetric rings: the large ring (269) is for the hand and the small ring (270) is for the ring (157), as shown in Figures 332 and 334.
[0478] The ring (157) may be just a simple ring, a key ring, or a self-locking ring.
[0479] There does not have to be a ring-connector (157) only on the bracelet (18). The opening ring (158) can also be used there in the form of a self-locking ring (271) with a return spring or a self-locking ring (275) without a spring. Self-locking ring (271), consists of a main part (272) and a closing part (273), which is less than or equal to the main part (272) with a return spring on the axis (274) (Figure 335 - ring (271) in the open state and Figure 336 - different projections of the ring (271) in the closed state).
[0480] The self-locking ring (275) consists of the main part (276) and an equal or smaller closing part (277) on the axis (278) without a return spring (Figure 337 - the self-locking ring (275) in the open state, Figure 338 - the self-locking ring (275) in the closed state).
[0481] As a rule, the opening ring (158) is larger and thicker than a regular ring (132) or a key ring ((157)), so not every safety mount (2) can be hooked onto it. If a person does not want to constantly wear a ring (157) on bracelet (18), a self-clamping ring (271) or (275) paired with a regular ring (157), as shown in Figure 339, can be easily put on and taken off from a bracelet (18). Such a tandem will allow attaching almost any safety mount (2) to a ring (157). At the same time, due to the design of self-clamping rings (271) and (275), it can be easily put on and taken off from a bracelet (18). The disadvantage of this design is its bulkiness. The advantage is its versatility.
[0482] Since we can use the bracelet - self-locking ring - ring structure (Figure 339), remove the ring (157) from the self-locking ring (271) or (275), if it allows the safety mount (2) and use only the bracelet-self-locking ring design, or put the self-locking ring (271) or (275) aside and put ring (157) on the bracelet (18), as in Figures 329 - 334. In this case, the bracelet (18) can be either standard (Figures 329 and 330) or special (Figures 331 - 334). At the same time, the ring (157) and self-locking rings (271) and (275), or their tandems, can act as a safety mount (2).
[0483] Bracelets (18) can be made of rigid, flexible, or a combination of rigid and flexible materials that provide comfort for the wearer while being strong enough to secure the smartphone during vigorous movement such as:
[0484] - leather, suede, cowhide, fur, fabric; - metal;
[0485] - plastic (nitinol, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, etc.);
[0486] - rubber, latex, silicone;
[0487] - glass;
[0488] - ceramics;
[0489] - stone;
[0490] - wood;
[0491] - composite materials;
[0492] - a combination of several types of materials as know to those skilled in the art, such as silicone molded over nylon, providing both comfort and strength.
[0493] Bracelets (18) can have adornments and design features tailored to men's or women's fashions.
[0494] The bracelets (18) can be of any size, the main thing is that the bracelet (18) does not fly off the user's hand when worn on the wrist and can hold the smartphone (5) on itself during the fall.
[0495] Bracelets (18) can be of any shape:
[0496] - flat;
[0497] - round;
[0498] - multifaceted;
[0499] - curly;
[0500] - in the form of a chain.
[0501] Bracelets (18) can be with or without a latch. Elastic and resilient or hard and rigid. Bracelets (18) can be of any color. The bracelets (18) can be, among other things, reflective, fluorescent, luminous. Bracelets (18) can be branded or have any picture applied on them, as shown in Figures 330 and 339.
[0502] The opening (self-locking) ring (158) itself, as a connector II (8), can be used not only with a bracelet (18), it can easily be fixed on a belt loop or buttonhole, chain or choker. To fix such a ring (158) on the fabric, a special clothespin (279) with an eyelet (280) for the ring (158) can be used (Figure 348).
[0503] From the foregoing, it follows that the safety mount (2) of the SSC can be in the form of a self-clamping ring (217) or (275), as shown in Figure 340. Here, the cap end (137) is part of a self-clamping ring (275), with which it is attached to the cord (3) of the SSC.
[0504] Figure 341 shows that the cap end (137) and the self-clamping ring (275) can be separate from each other and be connected to each other by a connecting ring (132).
[0505] Figure 342 shows an example of how the safety mount (2) in the form of a self-clamping ring (275) is attached to a bracelet (18) with a connecting ring (157).
[0506] In order to attach the safety mount (2) of the SSC in the form of a self-clamping ring (271) or (275) to clothes - belt loops (14), buttonholes (16) and decorative straps (281) on clothes (Figure 343) can be used. Sewing ring. Also, the connector II (8) in the form of a half ring (282) can be sewn to the clothes (Figure 344). The half ring (282) is sewn to the garment fabric (283) using a ribbon (284) folded in half, at the fold of which a loop (285) is formed, into which the half ring (282) is inserted before the ribbon (284) is sewn to the fabric (283) of the user's clothes (Figure 345 - half ring (282) top view; Figure 346 - half ring (282) sewn with ribbon (284) to clothing fabric, top view; Figure 347 - half ring (282) sewn with ribbon (284) to clothing fabric, side view).
[0507] This method of fastening is good only for a specific piece of clothing, to which the half-ring (282) was sewn using ribbon (284). But, changing clothes, the user loses this possibility of attaching the safety mount (2) of the SSC in the form of an opening (self-clamping) ring (158), for example, until the half-ring (282) is sewn to this piece of clothing as well. Also, in such a case, it is not possible to move the semiring (282) to the left or right or hang it on the other side of the garment.
[0508] For more versatility and mobility, connector II (8) can be used in the form of a clothespin (279) (for example, a clothespin in the form of a braces clip (254)) with an eyelet (280) (Figure 348) for attaching a self-clamping ring (271) or (275) (Figure 349 - top view, Figure 350 - side view) or using a ring (132) or a ring (157) (Figure 351). The advantage of the connector II (8) in the form of a clothespin (279) is that it can be attached to almost any place on clothing, easily removed and just as easily moved, attached to another place on this clothing or attached to other clothing.
[0509] Like a bracelet (18) for a hand, a safety mount (2) of the SSC can also be attached to a choker (19) or a chain (19) around the neck (Figure 353).
[0510] The choker (19) or the chain (19) may be standard, not originally intended for attaching the safety mount (2), but capable of supporting the weight of the smartphone (5) during its fall. Also, the chain (19) or the choker (19) can be made specifically for attaching the safety mount (2).
[0511] Bracelet (18) and choker (19) can be both a set and separate accessories. They can be both strictly utilitarian and serve as decoration. It is also possible that they may be luminescent or glow.
[0512] Chain (19) (Figure 353) can be ornamental jewelry chain, such as jewelry chain necklaces made of precious, semi-precious metals, medical steel, alloys, other metals, carbon, polymers, painted, anodized, gold-plated, or have some other sputtering or coating. It can be thin or with large links, each of which can be a "ring" for attaching a safety mount (2). Chain (19) can have adornments and design features tailored to men's or women's fashions.
[0513] A ring (286) can be added to the chain (19) or the choker (19) to attach the safety mount (2) (Figures 354 and 355). Ring (286) may be one or there may many of rings (286), or no ring (286) at all. Ring (286) helps hold the safety mount (2) in one place on the chain (19) or choker (19). Without such a ring (286), safety mount (2), if it is not strongly pressed to the chain or choker, can move freely along it. Ring (286) does not have to be in the form of a circle - it can be in the form of a polyhedron, an oval, curly, in the form of a latch of the "male-female" type, where the ring (286) is one part, and safety mount (2) is another, etc.
[0514] Choker (19) can be in the form of beads, ribbon, cord, tourniquet (Figure 352), etc.
[0515] Choker (19) may comprise any suitably strong and durable material, made of rigid, flexible, or a combination of rigid and flexible materials that provide comfort for the wearer while being strong enough to secure the smartphone during vigorous move ment, such as: glass, wood, plastic, stone, bones, metal, carbon fiber, nitinol, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), urethane, any types of polymers, leather, suede, cowhide, fur, latex, silicone, fabric, rubber, etc..
[0516] The choker can be uniform or reinforced.
[0517] They can have adornments and design features tailored to men's or women's fashions
[0518] Necklace (19) can be a combination of all of the above.
[0519] Moreover, chain (19) and choker (19) could have ends which are attachable to each other such as by a knot to allow chain (19) and choker (19) to be opened, e.g., to allow chain (19) and choker (19) to be tied around a user's neck.
[0520] The choker (19) can be made as strong as possible, or have enough strength to hold the smartphone (5) during a fall, but at the same time tear when a lot of force is applied. This breakaway safety feature of the choker (19), which will be designed to pull apart when a reasonable amount of pull force is applied, thus preventing accidents is necessary in case of extreme situations that threaten the life of the user: robbery, attempted strangulation (in order to avoid strangulation or causing any harm to the user's health, causing injury or harm to health with this chain or choker). This safety breakaway designe may be also useful when used around moving or rotating machinery, or in any situation where injury or death may occur if the smartphone or choker should accidentally get caught.
[0521] There can be many ways of attaching ring (286) to chain (19) or choker (19).
[0522] For example:
[0523] The end of the ribbon (287) of the choker (19) can be bent, forming a loop (288) as in Figure 357, a ring (286) is inserted into it and two parts of the ribbon (287) are fastened together with a rivet (289) - fastening (290) (Figures 354, 357 and 358), sewn - fastening (291) (Figures 356 and 359), glued, welded - fastening (292) (Figure 355), compressed by a staple, etc.
[0524] Choker (19) can be attached directly to ring (286) (Figures 354 - 356 and 358, 359) or through mediators (293), as shown in Figure 360. Ring (286) can be multifunctional and be a place for attaching a safety mount (2) to necklace (19), a clasp, jewelry, etc.
[0525] Magnetic smartphone holders. Due to the fact that the SSC prevents the smartphone from touching the surface below it (floor, earth, stones, water and other surfaces that threaten damage to the smartphone if it falls on them) in case of a fall, the design of smartphone holders can be revised. When using the SSC, there is no need to "tightly" fix the smartphone (5) in the holder on the handlebars (32) of transport (bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, etc.) or in the smartphone case (31) on the wrist (sports smartphone case on the hand of a user, bracelet smartphone holder on the hand), for example. It was not possible to refuse a hard fixation before without a SSC due to the high risk of falling and damaging the smartphone.
[0526] With the use of the SSC, which reliably secures the smartphone from damage in case of a fall, we can refuse from its rigid fixation, replacing it, for example, with a magnetic mount. Such a mount will significantly increase not only the comfort and convenience of use, but also the safety of using a smartphone, since it is attached to the SSC and is secured from fall all the time, not only when it is in a case or mount. Once the user takes the smartphone out of the smartphone case or holder, the smartphone will be at risk unless it is attached to the SSC. In this case, a smartphone mount, a smartphone case for a hand or a belt become the same convenient places for storage and transportation of a smartphone as pockets of clothes, with instant access to the full use of all the functionality of a smartphone.
[0527] Using the SSC, we can mount the smartphone on any smartphone mount (both those on the market today and the magnetic smartphone mount that is part of this patent application) as shown in Figures 39 and 40. When using the magnetic mount, holder and smartphone, the user can easily remove the smartphone from the holder with one hand at any desired moment, while holding the steering wheel with the other hand, for example. This improves not only the comfort, convenience and safety of using the smartphone, but also improves driving safety, since it does not require two hands to detach or attach the smartphone to the holder.
[0528] In the car, drivers often place the smartphone (5) on the smartphone holder (294), similar to the one shown in Figure 361. in cars, along with smartphone holders with mechanical fixation of the smartphone, magnetic fixation in the holder has long been widely used. In the car, due to the relatively low vibration when driving and the minimal risk of damaging the smartphone even if it falls, the use of a magnetic holder is quite justified and popular among motorists due to the convenience of using a magnetic mount for a smartphone.
[0529] Car interior is not the most dangerous place for a smartphone if it accidentally falls from a magnetic holder, especially in comparison with the environment while cycling. In the case of a two-wheeled vehicle (scooter, bicycle, motor scooter, motorcycle, and so on), due to the greater vibration generated in the riding process in comparison with a car and the greater risk of damaging the smartphone if dropped, the magnetic holders (32) were not used until now. Smartphone holders (32) have been either of a closed type (like a case with a transparent window for the screen), or with a rigid fixation of the smartphone (5) mechanically.
[0530] But now, when SSC insures smartphone (5) from contact with the ground in case of smartphone (5) falling from magnetic holder (32) (which happens extremely rarely if there is a good magnet (299) and a side (297) at the bottom of holder (32), which prevents smartphone (5) from sliding off the holder (32) under the influence of gravity (pulls smartphone (5) down) or forces created inadvertently when riding and vibration (weakens the force of attraction of magnet (299) in holder (32) and metal plate (195) attached to a smartphone in one way or another). Thus, using a smartphone on a two-wheeled vehicle becomes much easier and more convenient, as convenient as it is now in a car. Now you can easily navigate, communicate and possibly even more while riding or just use bicycle magnetic holder as place of storage for a smartphone with a quick access function when bicycling.
[0531] The smartphone holder (294) may consist of a bracket (295), with the help of which the base (296) of the holder can change its position relative to the installation location of the bracket (295). The base (296) of the holder (294) for the smartphone may have a lower supporting rail (297), a cable slot (298), a magnet (299) inside the base (296) for attaching the smartphone (5) to the holder (294) using magnetism, as well as additional side sliding clamps for fixing the smartphone (5) to the holder (294) mechanically.
[0532] The combination of side sliding latches that securely hold the smartphone (5) in the holder (294) during active driving and heavy loads, and the magnetic holder that ensures that the smartphone (5) is fixed in the holder (294) when the smartphone (5) is not fixed mechanically (when the user puts the smartphone (5) in the smartphone holder (294) for subsequent mechanical fixation of the smartphone (5) in it, or, conversely, when the user removes the mechanical fixation of the smartphone in the smartphone holder (294) in order to take the smartphone (5) in hand), while the SSC additionally insures the smartphone (5) against accidental damage when falling.
[0533] Figures 362 and 363 show a magnetic smartphone holder (32) on a handlebar (21) of a bicycle or scooter. Figure 364 shows an example of mounting a smartphone (5) on a magnetic holder (32) fixed on the steering wheel (21).
[0534] The lower support rail (297) is necessary when driving over rough terrain, hitting an obstacle, or in other cases, when vibration or other extreme loads are transmitted to the steering wheel (21), where the holder (32) for the smartphone is fixed, especially in a vertical direction, capable of moving the smartphone (5) down relative to the fastening (32) under the influence of gravity (earth gravity), which, in case of absence of the lower support rail (297), can lead to slipping of the smartphone (5) from the magnetic mount (32), including due to a decrease in the area of interaction between the magnet (299) of the holder (32) and the metal plate (195), fixed on the smartphone (5) and the smartphone (5) falling off the smartphone holder (32), to prevent the smartphone (5) from falling or moving on the magnetic plane of the base (296). For more secure connection between the holder (32) and smartphone (5), the magnet (299) may made of Samarium cobalt or neodymium iron. Both are rurter strong magnets. Needless to say, the magnet (299) and metal plate (195) may be in the opposite relationship.
[0535] The ring (286) of the connector II (8) of the SSC can pass through the slot (298) in the bottom support rail (297) of the smartphone holder (32). A smartphone mount (1) in the form of a carabiner with a cord (3) is attached to it. At the other end of the cord (3), the safety mount (2) is attached to the mediator ring (157), which is worn on the bracelet (18) on the wrist (20).
[0536] Figure 365 (side sectional view) shows a smartphone (5) in a smatphone case (6) with a metal plate (195) between them, fixed to the base (296) of the smartphone holder using a magnet (299) built into it. From below, the smartphone (5) is supported by a bottom support rail (297) and is attached to the steering wheel (21) using a mount (300). The mount (300) can be anything and is not the subject of this patent application.
[0537] If smartphone (5) is used without a smartphone case (6), metal plate (195) should be attached to smartphone (5) using adhesive composition (199) so that magnet (299) holds smartphone (5) on the surface of base (296) of holder (32) for smartphone (5) (Figure 366).
[0538] The smartphone holder (32) is one type of smartphone holder (294).
[0539] The same applies to arm smartphone sports cases (31). From now on, they do not have to be closed cases or holders with smartphones firmly fixed in them. Now they can be in the form of magnetic holders (31) attached to the wrist (20). This design allows you to safely and conveniently use all the functionality of the smartphone (5) while jogging or other sports exercises, as shown in Figures 41-44. In this case, the safety mount (2) can be attached both to the sports smartphone case (31) itself (Figure 41 and Figure 42) and to the bracelet (18) (Figure 43 and Figure 44). When attaching the safety mount (2) to the bracelet (18), the smartphone (5) remains protected from falling and during putting on or taking off the smartphone sports case (31) on the arm, which undoubtedly increases the safety of using the smartphone (5).
[0540] Let's Figure it out in more detail.
[0541] There are many designs on the market of smartphone mounts that are attached to a person’s hand. Such mounts are convenient during running or other physical exercises, when a heavy smartphone, under the influence of gravity and acceleration, transfers increased loads to the clothes in which it is located. At the same time, pants or shorts without a belt can slide down, and if the smartphone is in the breast pocket, it can hit the person's body with every step or sudden movement of the user. Accordingly, it causes inconvenience and discomfort. They are also convenient to use when there are no suitable pockets on the clothes or there are none at all.
[0542] Such mounts are usually made in the form of bags or closed cases (31) with a transparent cover. So that you can see the image on the screen of your smartphone (5) and use the touchscreen through this cover. While moving (walking, running, exercising), it is more convenient to see and answer incoming calls, or even make calls using a wired or wireless headset.
[0543] At the same time a typical problem with the available cases is that the latter only allow a limited usage of the device when within the case. For example, using the above mentioned armband case with a smart phone, it is typically necessary to remove the smart phone from the case when answering a video call or when taking a photo or video, etc. As will be apparent, this can be a cumbersome process, in particular during sport or outdoor activities. In addition, once the smartphone is removed from the case, a risk of damage to the device is present.
[0544] When the smartphone (5) is in such a case (31), it is, of course, protected from falling maximally. But, once the user removes the smartphone (5) from such a case (31), there is a risk of accidentally dropping and damaging the smartphone (5). In addition, the user may need to take the smartphone (5) out of the case (31) and use it with both hands; or give it to another person nearby for a while. At this moment, the user may continue running, walking, cycling, etc., exposing his smartphone (5) to an increased risk of damage. In addition, such a design of the case (31) limits the user's ability to quickly take the smartphone (5) in his hand. Since for this you first need to unzip the case (31). And after use, you have to put the smartphone (5) back and zip the case (31).
[0545] When using SSC, it secures, said mobile device while it is brought from a storage position to a handheld position while being safely attached to the user's hand for example. It is precisely at such moments the SSC is especially needed. The SSC insures the smartphone (5) against falling to the ground, regardless of where the smartphone (5) is currently located: in the case (31), in the user's hand or in the hand of another person nearby, to whom the user handed over the smartphone (5) for a while.
[0546] But if the user uses a SSC, which protects his smartphone (5) from falling to the ground all the time, then you can also go away from the design of smartphone (5) mount in the form of a closed case (31) or holder (31) with smartphone (5) rigidly fixed in it, which is designed to provide maximum protection against smartphone (5) falling.
[0547] The magnetic mount allows the smartphone (5) to be quickly picked up and put back on the mount, but does not provide by itself an adequate drop protection for the smartphone (5), which can cause the smartphone (5) to fall to the ground and damage the smartphone (5) during critical loads. But if we use the magnetic smartphone holder (31) and the SSC together, then we will get the mobility and convenience of using the smartphone (5) due to the magnetic holder (31) and its reliable protection against falling to the ground provided by the SSC.
[0548] Figure 367 shows the use of a smartphone sports case (31) on a person’s hand with a magnetic mount, together with a SSC and a bracelet (18). A smartphone (5) with a metal plate (195) attached to it lies on the magnetic surface (301) of the smartphone sports case (31) (it may be also vice verce: a smartphone (5) with magnetic plate (310) attached to it in some way, lies on the iron plate (195) of the smartphone case (31).). It is surrounded by bumpers (302) on three sides:
[0549] - side bumpers (302) prevent the smartphone (5) from moving to the sides;
[0550] - the bumper (302) located closer to the wrist of a user prevents the smartphone (5) from sliding down when the person's hand is lowered;
[0551] - on the side of the elbow, there is no bumper (302), since it is not absolutely necessary, since the probability of smartphone (5) slipping in this direction is small. If there was a bumper (302), we would have to make a slot (298) there or a hole for attaching the smartphone mount (1).
[0552] At the other end of the cord (3), the safety mount (2) is attached to the ring (157) on the bracelet (18). It can also be attached to the smartphone sports case (31) itself (which does not insure the smartphone (5) from falling while removing / putting on the case (31) from / on the user's hand) or to clothing and accessories (which may not always be possible or convenient).
[0553] A headphone box (304) is fixed to the smartphone sports case (31) by means of clips (303).
[0554] The case (31) is fixed on the arm (20) by means of the fixators (305). They can be in the form of Velcro straps, straps, like watch straps (leather, silicone, metal with a latch or elastic band, etc.). The fixators (305) may be in the form of a single fixator, two, three or more. They can be of different widths and thicknesses, with a different fixation mechanism:
[0555] - latch with a pre-configured length of fixators (305) (clips, fastex, carabiner ...);
[0556] - elastic band;
[0557] - automatic fastener;
[0558] -Velcro;
[0559] - buttons and rivet buttons (snaps);
[0560] - other.
[0561] Let's dwell on the magnetic clasp in more detail, since it has a number of advantages over some other clasps:
[0562] - unlike Velcro, which work similarly, although different physical properties are involved in fixing the two parts of the fixators (305) - it is silent;
[0563] - unlike rubber bands, it fully adjusts to the circumference of the user's hand: it does not squeeze the hand and does not dangle if the hand diameter is relatively small;
[0564] - unlike rivet buttons (snaps), buttons and buckle fasteners - the process of putting on and taking off is much more convenient and faster;
[0565] - unlike a latch with a pre-configured length of fixators (305) (clips, fastexes, carabiner, etc.), there is no need to pre-adjust the length of fixators (305) for each user individually. The magnetic clasp is more versatile, while clips, fasteners and carabiners are very individual. - a large area of interaction of magnets with metal parts due to the greater circumference of the wrist closer to the elbow than to the radius, a significant width, which can reach a width equal to the distance from the elbow to the radius. If you fix the smartphone sports case (31) on the biceps, the area, respectively, is even larger, since the circumference of the biceps, as a rule, is larger than the circumference of the wrist. Moreover, magnets (311) may be made of Samarium cobalt or neodymium iron, which are both strong magnets. Needless to say, the magnet and iron may be in the opposite relationship. Thus, do not worry that the magnets will not give the necessary fixation force to hold the smartphone sports case (31) on the arm.
[0566] Figure 368 schematically (in section) shows the smartphone sports case (31) with a magnetic fastener. In order to put the smartphone sports case (31) on your hand, you need to put your hand (20) into the hole (306), which is formed after the fixators (307) and (308) are closed. The Figure 368 shows main magnet (310) for attaching the smartphone (5) filled into the silicone body (309) of the smartphone sports case (31) and small magnets (311) in the body of the fixator (308) to interact with the metal plates (312) in the body of the fixator (307). The magnet clasp can be integrated into various forms of fixators (305): straps made of different materials (leather, silicone, metal, plastic, etc.) and different designs (solid, hinged, elastic, etc.). The latches fixators (307) and (308) can be grooved for better flexion, as well as structural elements to fix the fixators (307) and (308) in several predetermined positions.
[0567] For more convenience of putting the sports case (31) for a smartphone on a person's hand, one of the fixators (305) can be attached to the body of the sports case (31) using ribbon (161) (Figure 398 - fixators (307) and (308) of the sports case (31) for a smartphone are attached to each other; Figure 399 - fixators (307) and (308) of the sports case (31) for the smartphone are open.). One of the ribbon (161) ends is attached to the edge of the fixator (308), and the other end of the ribbon (161) is attached to the body of the sports case (31) or the base of the fixator (307).
[0568] The fixator (308), ribbon (161), and sports case (31) body together form a closed ring into which the user inserts his or her hand when placing the sports case (31) for the smartphone on his or her hand. First, it prevents the sports case (31) from accidentally falling off the user's hand while fastening and unfastening fixators after the sports case (31) has been placed on the hand. Secondly, ribbon (161) facilitates the fastening process itself. When fixators (307) and (308) are Velcro or magnetic fixators, all the user has to do is grasp the fixator (307), pull it, and press it against the fixator (308).
[0569] The ribbon (161) can be in the form of an elastic band for even greater comfort when putting on the sports case (31). The elastic band will fit different hand circumferences and at the same time will press the fixator (308) as close as possible to the person's hand, allowing the fixator (307) to be attached to the fixator (308) as tightly as possible using one hand only. Figure 369 shows a smartphone sports case (31) on a person's arm. The device is fixed on the hand (20), and using the built-in magnet (310), the smartphone (5) is held on a special platform (301) with sides (302) on its surface.
[0570] The bumpers (302) may be needed at the time of critical loads during running, jumping and other physical exercises and activities, performed by the user. They are designed to keep the smartphone (5) from moving to the side, which can also cause the smartphone (5) to slip off the magnetic surface (301) and fall. At the same time, the sides (302) can be installed from all 4 sides, from 3 sides (Figures 367, 369, 391, 394), from 2 sides (Figure 393), from 1 side only; have different heights and shapes, have slots and holes for SSC and other accessories.
[0571] The surface (301) where the smartphone (5) is put on can be made from various materials. Priority is given to non-slip, non-abrasive and non-staining materials. The surface can be smooth, ribbed or textured for a better grip with the back surface of your smartphone (5).
[0572] All surfaces of the smartphone sports case (31) can be branded or decorated.
[0573] In order to make it convenient to take the smartphone (5) from the magnetic platform (301) of the smartphone sports case (31) to a person's hand, which is equipped with side bumpers (302) to prevent the smartphone (5) from slipping off the magnetic platform (301), various solutions can be applied:
[0574] I. A special form of the magnetic platform (301). (Figure 370). Special recesses (313) can be made in the magnetic platform (301) to allow picking up the smartphone (5) lying on the magnetic platform (301) from below and both sides.
[0575] Thus, the smartphone (5) will not have a solid line from the side (302) around itself and under certain circumstances the smartphone (5) is vulnerable in those places where the special recesses (313) of the smartphone sports case (31) are located.
[0576] A restrictive bumper (302) can thus be located at the corners of the magnetic platform (301). A movable side (314) can also be used behind or in front of the platform (301), possibly even equipped with a soft pad (315) to better fix the smartphone (5) and prevent even minor scratches on the smartphone (5) body. A moving mechanism (316) to adjust the length of the platform (301), which makes the platform (301) more versatile for use with smartphones (5) of different lengths, can be anything (mechanical, electrical...), similar to the mechanisms used in smartphone holders (294). But it is important to note that here the movable side (314) can act both as a clamp and a fixator (like other mechanical holders (294), if necessary), or as a simple adjustable side, which does not act as a holder, but only as a limiter from slipping smartphone (5) from the magnetic platform (301), like an unregulated side (302).
[0577] II. Mechanical devices that increase convenience and make it easier to take the smartphone (5) by the user's hand from the smartphone sports case (31) with a magnetic smartphone holder.
[0578] 1. Folding side ledge (Figure 371). Figure 371 shows the mechanism of the folding side (317): on the right, in the raised working position, it protects the smartphone (5) from slipping off the magnetic platform (301); on the left - when folded, provides access to the user's fingers to the smartphone (5) from both sides of the smartphone sports case (31). The pistons (318) under the action of the spring (319) act on the folding sides (317) from the inside - straightening them into a working raised position. To fold the folding sides (317), the user presses the buttons (320) simultaneously on the left and right side with the fingers until the side (317) is lowered to the lower position. The buttons (320) are attached to the sides (317) at their folded points. The top of the side (317) is movably fixed in a slot (321) on the front and rear bumpers (302) at point (322) and moves up and down along this slot (321). The lower part of the side (317) is fixed at the bottom point (323) of the platform (301) of the smartphone holder and can be attached both by the lower edge of the folding side (317), and by the side protrusions (horns) on the side faces of the folding sides (317), which go into the holes in the walls of the lower part of the bumper (302). located directly below the magnetic platform (301). Pistons (318) can be attached to a mechanical push lock (324), which locks the piston (318) in its lower position, and in order to remove the piston (318) from the lock, you need to push it a little again. The lock (324) will then release the piston (318) and the spring (319) will straighten out and return the piston (318) to its original position, which will push the folded side (317) out and up to the working position. The design of the push lock (324) is known, so we will not dwell on its description.
[0579] 2. Wedge lifting smartphone (5) on one side (Figure 375 - initial position of wedge (325) and Figure 376 - working position of wedge (325)). On one of the sides of the smartphone sports case (31) there is a wedge (325) for the entire or part of the length of the corresponding side (302), which it replaces in the non-working position. In order to take the smartphone (5) in hand, the user presses the wedge (325), compressing the spring (319), lifting one end of the smartphone (5). The wedge (325) is fixed in this position by the mechanical push lock (324). At the same time, the attraction force of the smartphone (5) to the magnet (310) also becomes smaller. In order to return the smartphone (5) to the magnetic platform (301), it is necessary to return the wedge (325) to its original position. To do this, we press briefly on the wedge (325), the lock (324) stops fixing the wedge (325) and the spring (319), straightening, returns the wedge (325) from the working position to its original position.
[0580] 3. Rising magnetic platform.
[0581] A) With the help of wedges (Figure 377 - the initial position of the wedge (326); and Figure 378 - the working position of the wedge (326)). The basis of the lifting mechanism, located in the center of the smartphone sports case (31), is a platform (327) in the form of a pyramid with a flat top. Inside the platform (327) is a magnet (310) for magnetically attaching the smartphone (5). The platform (327) rests on the bottom cover (328) of the magnetic smartphone holder. On the top of platform (327) lies magnetic platform (301), on which smartphone (5) is placed. On both sides of the platform (327) there are wedges (326), which in its initial position lie in the same plane with the platform (327) on the bottom cover (328). The side (302) on the left and right at the top and bottom corners covers the smartphone (5). The shape of the magnetic platform (301) can be similar to that shown in Figure 370. When you press the wedges (326) with the fingers of one hand, the wedges (326) begin to move towards the center of the platform (327), sliding up it on special skids (329) (Figure 378) and thereby raising the magnetic platform (301), which lies on them at or above the sides (302), closer to the user's palm. The platform (301) is attached to the cover (328) using 4 or more mounts (330) in the form of pistons located above and below the platform (327) (Figure 372 - pistons (330) on the cover (328) of the magnetic holder, top view; Figure 373 - side view of the piston (330) in section). The pistons (330) may or may not have springs (331) inside to hold the platform (301) with the smartphone (5) on it in its upper position. The wedges (326) extend under the smartphone (5), allowing the user to easily grasp the smartphone (5) with their fingers, after which the wedges (326) drop down under their own weight if there are no springs (331) in the pistons (330).
[0582] Figures 379 and 380 show a different design of lifting the smartphone (5) on the platform (301) above the sides (302) of the smartphone sports case (31) using wedges (326). Here, the wedges (326) do not separate the smartphone (5) from the magnet (310) which is holding it, but separate the platform (301) with the built in magnet (310) from the bottom cover (328) of the magnetic smartphone holder with the built into it metal plate (332). Thus, the smartphone (5) with a metal plate attached to it is held by a magnet (310) on the magnetic platform (301) of the case (31) until the user takes it in his hand, which ensures increased security of the smartphone (5). The more the wedges (326) enter into the smartphone sports case (31) and the higher they raise the platform (301) with the magnet (310) embedded in it, the more the attractive force between the magnet (310) in the platform (301) and the metal plate (332) in the bottom cover (328) is weakened. After the attraction between the magnet (310) and the metal plate (332) weekens, the springs (331) built into the pistons (330) lift and hold the platform (301) in its upper position with the smartphone (5) fixed on it with a magnet (310). After the smartphone (5) on the platform (301) has risen to the level or above the sides (302) of the sports case (31), the user can easily and safely remove the smartphone (5) from the magnetic platform (301).
[0583] In order to put the smartphone (5) in the sports case (31) of this design, the user puts the smartphone (5) on the platform (301) of the case (31) when it is in its upper position, and then presses the smartphone (5) from above, lowering the platform (301) until the magnet (310) in the platform (301) is attached to the metal plate (332) in the bottom cover (328). Also, the user can pre-press the cover (301), lower it down until the magnet (310) in the platform (301) interacts with the metal plate (332) in the bottom cover, and put the smartphone (5) on the platform (301) when it is in its lower position.
[0584] In order to remove the smartphone (5) from the magnetic platform (301), the user must lift the platform (301) to its upper position first. To do this, he presses the buttons (333), compressing the spring (319) and advancing the wedge (326) inside the case (31), pushing and disconnecting the magnet (310) in the platform (301) and the metal plate (332) in the bottom cover (328). The pistons (330) not only movably secure the platform (301) to the cover (328), but also, by means of springs (331) built into them, raise the platform (301) after the bond between the metal plate (332) and the magnet (310) is loosened. For this design to work correctly, the following conditions must be met:
[0585] - the springs (331) in the pistons (330) must have sufficient force to lift and hold the platform (301) of the case (31) with the smartphone (5) on it in its upper position;
[0586] - the magnet (310) must be of sufficient power in order to securely fasten to the plate (332) in the bottom cover (328) of the case (31) despite the constant lifting force created by the springs (331) in the pistons (330), tending to break this connection. The top view of cover (328) is identical to the previous one, which is shown in Figure 372.
[0587] B) With the help of a lifting mechanism
[0588] In Figures 381 - 384 - side view on the right or left in section; Figures 385 and 386 - side view from above or below in section; and Figure 374 is a top view of the lifting mechanism based on a mechanical push lock (324), located centrally under the magnetic platform (301) of the smartphone sports case (31). The spring (331) between the platform (301) and the mechanical push lock (324) (Y position, Figures 374, 381 and 382) or between the platform (301) and the bottom cover (328) of the smartphone sports case (31) ( position Z, Figures 374, 383 and 384; or along the edges of the case (31), Figures 374, 385 and 386, in the pistons (330), as in Figures 372 and 373) must be powerful enough to lift and hold the platform (301) of the case (31) and the smartphone (5) on top of it. The principle of operation of this mechanism is that, as in the previous case, the platform (301) of the case (31) moves up and down in the case (31). In the upper position, it is convenient to take the smartphone (5) from the platform (301), since in this position it is at the same level or higher than the sides (302) of the case (31) (Figures 381, 383 and 385). You can put the smartphone (5) on the magnetic platform (301) of the case (31) both in its upper position (Figures 381, 383 and 385) and in the lower position of the platform (301) in the case (31) (Figures 382, 384 and 386). Since the mechanism that fixes the platform (301) in the lower position is a mechanical pressure lock (324), in order to fix the platform (301) below, it is necessary to press it directly (if the user decides to lower the platform (301) first, and then put the smartphone (5) on it) or on the smartphone (5) (if the user decides to put the smartphone (5) on the platform (301) of the case (31) in its upper position), which lies on the platform (301) in the center (where the mechanical pressure lock (324) is located) until a characteristic click is heard. In the first case, after the platform (301) of the case (31) has dropped down and fixed in its lower position, smartphone (5) can be placed inside the case (31) on the platform (301).
[0589] In order for the platform (301) to rise up and the user to take the smartphone (5) in his hand, it is necessary to press the smartphone (5) in the center (approximately in the place where the mechanical push lock (324) is located under the platform (301) of the smartphone sports case (31) on which the smartphone (5) lies). After that, the lock (324) releases the spring (331) and it, straightening up, raises the platform (301) of the smartphone sports case (31) to its upper position.
[0590] Figure 374 schematically shows the sides (302) of the smartphone sports case (31), which are on the bottom cover (328) of the smartphone sports case (31). In the center there is a mechanical pressure lock (324) with a lifting spring (331), which raises the platform (301) inside the sides (302) to its upper position.
[0591] Figure 387 - the initial position of the button (334) and Figure 388 - the working position of the button (334) shows another lifting mechanism, which is a "button" (334), by pressing which, the user sets it in motion around its axis (335), located below. The top of the button (334) moves to the center and down of the smartphone holder (31), pushing the lifter (336) fixed at the top of the bumper (302) on the axis
[0592] (337), thereby pushing the piston (318) and simultaneously lifting the magnetic platform (301), lifting the smartphone (5), which rests on it, above the side bumpers (302). Push locks (324) are fixed for the convenience of the user. To return the magnetic platform (301) to its original position, it is enough to press the button (334) again. Then the lock (324) will release the piston (318) and the spring (319), straightening, will return it, the lift (336), the magnetic platform (301) and the button (334) to their original position. Lifting and other mechanisms can also be made using various gears.
[0593] III. Electronic devices. To facilitate the process of picking up the smartphone (5) from the magnetic platform (301), various electric or combined mechanisms can be used, powered by their own batteries or the battery of the smartphone (5), using buttons, sensors, and so on.
[0594] Figure 389 shows smartphone sports case (31) without bumpers (302) but with built-in storage space
[0595] (338) hidden behind cover (339).
[0596] In Figure 390, the built-in storage space (338) is accessed through the zipper (340).
[0597] Accordingly, the smartphone sports case (31), except the surface (301) for mounting the smartphone (5), which must always be level, can be made of both hard: plastic, carbon fiber, polymers, etc. (Figure 389) and soft: fabric, leather, silicone, etc. (Figure 390) and any combination of these but mostly lightweight materials.
[0598] Storage space (338) can be either universal (Figure 389 and Figure 390) or special (Figure 391).
[0599] For example, often while running or doing other physical exercises, people listen to music with headphones. Thus, a place for attaching a box (304) for headphones can be provided in the smartphone sports case (31) on the hand, or a special place for storing headphones can be provided in the body of the smartphone sports case (31). The headphone box (304) can be inserted into a special recess (341) in the smartphone sports case (31) (Figure 391 is a general view; and Figure 392 is a side sectional view). In this recess (341), the headphone box (304) can be fixed with a magnet (310) or (311) and a metal plate (342) attached to the headphone box (304) (Figure 392). Magnet (310) as well as magnet (311) and iron plate (342) may be in the opposite relationship. Instead of a metal plate (342) on the lateral (upper) side of the box (304), on the inner side of the recess (341) for the box (304) of the smartphone sports case (31), a seal (343) can be installed, which will fix the box (304) in itself using clamping force and friction force.
[0600] Box (304) can also be inserted into special clamps (303), as shown in Figures 367, 393, 394 and 401. Clamps (303) can be located at the top and bottom, as in Figure 393. Moreover, there can be more than two of them, they do not have to be located exactly opposite to each other, and they can also be of various widths, thicknesses, shapes and made of various materials. An additional clamp or clamps (303) can be located on the side of the box (304), and on either side, as shown in Figures 367 and 394.
[0601] Figure 395 shows headphones (344) and a box (304) to them - side view.
[0602] Figure 396 (top view in the closed state) and Figure 397 (top view in the open state) show a box (304) with headphones (344) in its body (345). On the cover (346) of the box (304), special recesses (347) are made for headphones (344).
[0603] The box (304) itself and the headphones (344) are not subject to patent and are shown only illustratively for better explanation in the context of their use with the subject matter of the patent.
[0604] Figure 398 shows a smartphone (5) fixed on a special platform (301) of the smartphone sports case (31) with a magnet (310) under the platform (301) and a metal plate (195) attached to the back of the smartphone (5).
[0605] The side parts (348) and (349) of the smartphone sports case (31) may be:
[0606] - hollow, filled with some material, be made of the same material as the entire smartphone sports case (31) (Figure 398, 399 and Figure 400);
[0607] - absent, as side part (349) in Figure 392;
[0608] - contain a special fastening or a special storage place (338), for example, a recess (341) for a box (304) for headphones, as a side part (348) in Figures 392 and 401;
[0609] - have a versatile storage space (338):
[0610] A) in the form of a rigid pencil case or handbag (with a magnetic lock and an overlap between the bottom (350) and the lid (351), for example, as in the side part (349) in Figure 401);
[0611] B) in the form of a bag with a zipper (340) (Figure 402);
[0612] C) in the form of a hard pencil case with an inner surface made of soft material (352), which prevents damage to the contents of the pencil case and the formation of extraneous noise from the impact of the contents on the walls of the pencil case. The cover (351) of the pencil case is attached to the smartphone sports case (31) on hinges (353) and is closed (fixed on the pencil case body (350)) with the help of a latch (354) (Figure 403).
[0613] In departments (348) and (349), special places can be provided for convenient storage of various small things: keys, cards, glasses, etc. The key holder, for example, can be with a rope or ribbon, with a connector for quickly detaching a bunch of keys from a key holder, with a ring, hook, carabiner or some other key fastening. And the rope or ribbon can be equipped with a coil for the convenience of laying them inside the key holder.
[0614] The use of SSC to insure a smartphone (5) against damage when dropped significantly expands the scope of use of magnetic holders for smartphones. In addition to the already mentioned magnetic smartphone holder (32) for the use on a two-wheeled vehicle and a sports magnetic holder (31) for a person's hand, a smartphone (5) with a SSC can be safely carried on a smartphone magnetic holder (17) attached to a user's belt (15). Unlike small compact mobile phones, which were convenient to wear in cases (17) on the user's belt, smartphones are much wider. Further, due to the regular activity that occurs at or near the waistline, when a person sits down, twists, bends at the waistline or raises his hip high from the side of the smartphone case (17) on the belt at the waist line, the smartphone (5) abuts into the person's body (presses into the hip, jabs one's stomach area and ribs), causing discomfort and restricting the user's movements. The device can be even more uncomfortable for overweight people. The devices can also act to restrict the movement of a person who tries to avoid the discomfort caused by the device being stored at or near the waistline.
[0615] In Figure 404 (sectional side view), the smartphone (5) lies in a magnetic holder (17), fixed by a metal belt holster (355) on the belt (15) of the user at an angle. Thus, the smartphone (5) does not interfere with the user's movements and, moreover, in addition to the magnetic mount and the bottom supporting rail (297) with a cable slot (298), if necessary, this position of the smartphone (5) at an angle ensures its reliable retention in the magnetic holder (17). Magnetic fastening is provided by a metal plate (195) attached to the smartphone (5) (in this case with the help of an adhesive composition (199)) or its case (6) and a magnet (310) built into the magnetic holder (17). Needless to say, the magnet (310) and iron plate (195) may be in the opposite relationship.
[0616] In Figure 404, the angle at which the magnetic holder (17) is located relative to the belt (15), and, accordingly, the human body, is set by the manufacturer using triangle (356) and is unchanged. This may not always be convenient enough. Therefore, to provide greater user comfort, instead of triangle (356) (Figure 404), a rotating mount (357) can be used with a given position locking step (Figure 405 - in the open position and Figure 406 - in the folded position).
[0617] For even more secure storage of the smartphone (5) in the magnetic holder (17) on the user's belt (15), two mechanical clamps (358) on the sides or one mechanical clamp (358) on the top can be added to the structure of the magnetic holder (17), as shown in Figure 407 (side sectional view in the open position of the clamp (358)) and Figure 408 (side sectional view in the closed working position of the clamp (358)).
[0618] Given the possibility of placing the smartphone (5) at an angle to the user's body, the placement of the smartphone (5) in such a case (17) can be not only horizontal, but also vertical, and also allows you to conveniently place large devices such as tablets in the case (17) on the belt (15). Mounts can be both universal and for a specific smartphone or type of smartphones with comparable dimensions.
[0619] Another accessory that will allow the user to wear the smartphone (5) on the belt is the magnetic belt (359). The magnetic belt (359) is, in fact, the belt (15) with magnets (311) built into it. The smartphone (5) can be attached to the magnets (311) on the belt (359) using the metal plate (195) (Figure 409). Magnetic plates (311) can be both inside the belt (359), as shown on the left in Figure 409, and outside (soldered, sewn, inserted, and so on), as shown on the right in Figure 409. Belt (359) can be made of any material: leather, rubber, latex, fabric, etc. Belt (359) can also be in the form of magnetic plates (311) on an elastic band with a male-female buckle, as shown on the left side in Figure 409.
[0620] Magnets (311) may be made of Samarium cobalt or neodymium iron. Both are strong magnets and allow the magnetic belt (359) be lightweight and thus comfortable for the user.
[0621] Needless to say, the magnet (311) and iron plate (195) may be in the opposite relationship.
[0622] Since now the favorite place where people carry smartphones is in the pockets of their pants, it is logical to make a magnetic fastening on the pants in the pocket area or below. Such a magnetic mount can be implemented in several ways:
[0623] 1. Pants pocket (25) or special pocket (360). A magnetic plate (310) is placed in a regular pocket (25) or a special pocket (360) of pants (Figure 410). Special pocket (360) - a pocket specially designed for storing the magnetic plate (310) in it, according to its width, height and thickness, providing a constant maximum pressing of the magnetic plate (310) to the outer material of the pocket (360) of the pants to ensure the maximum area of interaction between the magnetic plate (310) in the pocket (360) and the metal plate (195) of the smartphone (5).
[0624] 2. Special case (361). With the second option of attaching the magnetic plate (310) to pants (362), pants (362) may not have pockets at all. The magnetic plate (310) is inserted into a special case (361) or is a part of it (soldered, glued, etc.), which is attached to the pants (362) using buttons (or snaps) (363), for example, at two points (bottom and top - Figure 411) or more, for example, at four points (at the corners of the magnet (310) - Figure 412), or Velcro (364) (Figure 413). The strap (365) on the cover (361) is needed for the convenience of detaching it from the opposite part of the Velcro (364) on the pants (362). You can pull it and disconnect the Velcro (364) on the case (361) and pants (362).
[0625] 3. Velcro (364) with loops (182) is preferably sewn onto pants (362) because it will not cling to other fabrics and can be safely used uncovered. On the cover (361), respectively, there is Velcro (364) with spikes (181) (as shown in Figure 413). For convenient storage of such a cover (361), Velcro (364) of the same or larger size with loops (182) can be attached to Velcro (364) of cover (361) so that the spikes (181) of Velcro (364) on cover (361) do not accidentally cling to fabrics and do not spoil them.
[0626] Needless to say, the magnet (310) and iron plate (195) may be in the opposite relationship. REFERENCES
