Hand Belt Recess for Stable Portable Terminal Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support devices for portable terminals with mounted hand belts are prone to instability and risk of falling when used in an inclined position, as they do not effectively secure the hand belt, leading to wobbling or dislodgment during touch panel operations.
Innovation Solution
A support device with a placement portion featuring a terminal placement surface and a belt-receiving recessed portion that accommodates the hand belt, ensuring stable support by recessing the hand belt and pad, preventing interference and allowing for secure positioning of the portable terminal even when inclined.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the support base uses a rear wall surface with height lower than the hand belt position to avoid interference, then the hand belt can be accommodated, but the portable terminal becomes unstable and may wobble or fall
Solution Approach 1:
The support base is divided into two distinct functional regions: a rear wall surface for accommodating the hand belt and a terminal placement surface for supporting the portable terminal. This segmentation allows each region to perform its specific function independently, resolving the conflict between hand belt accommodation and terminal stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal placement surface acts as an intermediary element between the rear wall surface and the portable terminal. It provides a stable support platform that is positioned to ensure terminal stability while allowing the rear wall surface to maintain its lower height for hand belt accommodation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the portable terminal is placed on a support base with low rear wall, then the hand belt does not interfere, but the terminal cannot be securely supported in inclined position
Solution Approach 1:
The support base exhibits local quality by having different surface heights at different locations: the rear wall surface is lower to accommodate the hand belt, while the terminal placement surface is positioned at an optimal height to provide stable support for the terminal in an inclined position. This localized differentiation resolves the contradiction between hand belt compatibility and support reliability.
3Ease of operation
If the terminal placement surface is positioned to support the back surface, then the terminal can be placed, but without proper hand belt reception, the terminal wobbles during touch operations
Solution Approach 1:
The support base structure is segmented into distinct functional zones: the terminal placement surface for easy terminal placement and the rear wall surface with appropriate recesses for hand belt reception. This segmentation ensures that terminal placement remains easy while preventing wobbling during operations by properly securing the hand belt.

AI summary
A support device for a portable terminal includes a placement portion configured to place a portable terminal having a hand belt mounted to a back surface of the portable terminal and configured to receive a user's hand. The placement portion includes: a terminal placement surface configured to support the back surface of the portable terminal; and a belt-receiving recessed portion, which has a shape recessed with respect to the terminal placement surface in a direction perpendicular to the terminal placement surface and is configured to receive the hand belt of the portable terminal placed on the placement portion. The support device for a portable terminal is configured to support the portable terminal placed on the placement portion under a state in which the portable terminal is inclined rearward.
