Integrated Holding Device for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing configurations for laptop and tablet PCs with hand grips and grip belts require separate molding and precise positioning, increasing manufacturing costs and complicating assembly.
Innovation Solution
A holding device with integrally formed hand grip, grip belt, and connection section, allowing for a simple and cost-effective mounting configuration using a flexible material like silicone rubber, which reduces the number of parts and simplifies assembly by being elastically deformable.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If hand grip and grip belt are mounted separately on laptop PC, then each component can be independently produced, but manufacturing cost increases due to multiple molds and assembling workability deteriorates due to precise positioning requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the hand grip and grip belt into a single integrated holding device that is molded as one piece. This merging of previously separate components eliminates the need for multiple molds and reduces assembly steps, directly addressing the technical contradiction by lowering manufacturing cost while simplifying the device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated holding device serves multiple functions simultaneously - it provides both hand grip functionality and grip belt functionality through a single component. This multi-functionality approach allows one component to replace what previously required two separate components, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
2Ease of operation
If hand grip and grip belt are mounted separately on laptop PC, then each component can be independently produced, but assembling workability deteriorates due to precise positioning requirements
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the hand grip and grip belt into a single integrated component, the patent eliminates the need for separate positioning operations. The single component can be positioned and fixed as one unit, significantly improving assembling workability without requiring the high precision positioning that would be needed for multiple separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding device is designed with a integrated structure that segments the functions of hand grip and grip belt into one cohesive unit. This segmentation approach allows the component to be manufactured and positioned as a single element, reducing assembly complexity while maintaining functional independence of each holding section.

AI summary
A holding device includes a plurality of holding sections each including a recess or an opening through which a hand of a user can be inserted; and a connection section connecting the plurality of holding sections to each other. When the holding device is fixed to two surfaces of an electronic device which are adjacent to each other, a handle that can be held by the user with a hand and a grip belt that can be supported by the user with the hand can be connected to each other via the connection section. Thus, the number of parts can be reduced and management of parts is easy.
