Tablet Holder Panel with Finger Loops and Couplers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tablet holder devices do not effectively enhance user grip and secure attachment to electronic tablets, particularly when the devices are in use or positioned for desktop display.
Innovation Solution
A panel with releasable couplers and a hand strap is positioned on the bottom side of an electronic tablet, featuring finger loops to facilitate secure grip and attachment, allowing the panel to be bent for flexible positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing tablet holder devices use simple attachment mechanisms, then device complexity is reduced, but grip security and attachment reliability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism is divided into multiple independent couplers, each capable of individually engaging with the tablet. This segmentation allows the system to achieve reliable attachment through multiple discrete connection points rather than a single complex mechanism, resolving the contradiction between reliability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines multiple attachment functions into a single integrated panel structure that includes both couplers for secure attachment and finger loops for enhanced grip. By merging these functions into one component, the system achieves reliable grip security without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.
2Strength
If a rigid panel structure is used for tablet attachment, then structural strength is improved, but flexibility for positioning is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The panel incorporates foldable sections that allow it to transition between rigid and flexible states. When unfolded, the panel provides a large stable surface for attachment; when folded, it enables compact positioning and adaptation to different spatial requirements, thus resolving the contradiction between structural strength and positioning flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The panel uses a thin, flexible construction that can be bent and folded without compromising its attachment functionality. This flexible design allows the panel to adapt to various positioning scenarios while maintaining sufficient structural integrity for secure tablet attachment.
3Reliability
If multiple couplers are used to enhance attachment reliability, then attachment security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each coupler is designed as a universal component that performs multiple functions: attachment to the tablet, structural support for the panel, and contribution to overall system stability. By making each coupler multi-functional, the system achieves high attachment security without needing an excessive number of specialized components, thus managing complexity effectively.

AI summary
An electronic tablet holder assembly for gripping an electronic tablet includes a panel that is positionable on a bottom side of an electronic tablet. A plurality of couplers is each coupled to the panel and each of the couplers releasably engages a bottom of the electronic tablet for attaching the panel to the electronic tablet. A hand strap is coupled to the panel and a user's hand is extendable therethrough to facilitate a user to grip the electronic tablet. A finger strap is coupled to the panel at a plurality of connection points to define a plurality of fingers loops. Each of the finger loops has a respective one of the user's fingers extended therethrough to enhance the user's ability to grip the electronic tablet.
