Portable Terminal Holder with Movable Plate for Stable Grip
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users with small hands find it inconvenient to grip and operate wide portable terminals like smartphones and tablets due to their size, leading to potential drops and damage, and existing accessories fail to provide versatile and compact solutions that meet the diverse needs of consumers.
Innovation Solution
A holder for portable terminals comprising a strap, guide plate, holder case, movable plate, and holder cover that allows for stable gripping and compact storage, featuring a movable plate that overlaps with the holder case when not in use, and incorporates a permanent magnet for easy attachment to the terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a wide portable terminal is used to provide large screen display, then the display area is improved, but the ease of gripping and operating with one hand deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is divided into multiple functional segments: a strap for wrapping around the terminal, a guide plate with guide holes for movement control, a holder case for housing, a movable plate for expansion, and a holder cover for protection. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function efficiently while working together to provide stable gripping of wide terminals
Solution Approach 2:
The holder incorporates dynamic elements including the movable plate that can expand from the holder case when needed, and the strap with fastening and stopper parts that can adjust to different terminal sizes. The guide holes guide the dynamic movement of components, allowing the holder to adapt its structure based on usage requirements
2Adaptability or versatility
If accessory products are developed to provide various functions, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed as a universal accessory that can accommodate various portable terminals regardless of their specific dimensions. The strap can be adjusted to fit different terminal sizes, and the holder case with its guide plate and movable plate structure can adapt to different terminal shapes, providing one-size-fits-all functionality without requiring multiple specialized accessories
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple functions are merged into a single integrated holder structure. The holder combines gripping functionality, mounting capability, and protective features in one device. The movable plate serves both as a structural component and an advertisement display surface, while the guide plate simultaneously guides movement and provides structural support
3Adaptability or versatility
If the holder structure is expanded to provide more functions, then the versatility is improved, but the volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holder employs a nested structure where the movable plate can be inserted into or expanded from the holder case, and the guide plate is housed within the holder case. When not in use, the movable plate overlaps with the holder case, minimizing the overall volume. This nesting approach allows the holder to provide expanded functionality when needed while maintaining a compact form factor for storage
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to grip portable terminals more stably and reduces overall volume for convenient storage, while also allowing for convenient mounting on surfaces and serving as a promotional product through advertisement display on the movable plate.
Implementation Method 1
the holder for portable terminal incorporates a permanent magnet, and can be easily detachably attached to a portable terminal having a magnetic body

AI summary
The present invention relates to a holder for portable terminal, wherein a guide plate comprises a first guide hole, and a second guide hole for inserting a fastening part and guiding a movement of the fastening part. A holder case comprises a draw-out hole that houses the guide plate and a strap therein through a lower opening, and draws out the fastening part. A movable plate is disposed on the upper surface of the holder case, and fastened to the fastening part on the lower surface, and operates away from or into contact with the holder case as the fastening part is drawn out or returned through the draw-out hole. A holder cover is attached to the guide plate and the holder case while closing the lower opening of the holder case.
