Abstract

The invention discloses a protective shell which is suitable for partially coating an electronic device. The protective housing comprises a housing, a bracket and a spring plate. The housing is adapted to partially enclose an electronic device. The bracket is connected to the housing. The elastic sheet is positioned in the bracket and elastically deforms to change the shape of the bracket. When the shell abuts against a plane, the shape of the support is changed through elastic deformation of the elastic sheet, so that the support supports the shell relative to the plane. When the shell and the electronic device need to be supported, the shape of the support can be changed through elastic deformation of the elastic sheet, so that the support supports the shell and the electronic device relative to a plane.

detailed description

Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 2A , in this embodiment, the protective case 100 is adapted to partially cover the electronic device 50 shown in FIG. 4 , and expose the display screen 52 of the electronic device 50 . The electronic device 50 is, for example, a smart phone. However, in other embodiments not shown, the electronic device 50 can also be a tablet computer or any kind of electronic device with a display. The protective case 100 includes a casing 110 , a bracket 120 and an elastic piece 130 . The casing 110 partially covers the electronic device 50 . The bracket 120 is connected to the housing 110 . The elastic piece 130 is located in the bracket 120 and elastically deforms to change the shape of the bracket 120 . The three-dimensional shape of the elastic piece 130 is shown in FIG. 3 . As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 2B , when the housing 110 abuts against a plane, the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 130 changes the shape of the bracket 120 so that the bracket 120 supports the housing 110 relative to the plane. The elastic piece 130 here can be an existing elastic steel piece, which can change between two shapes through its own elasticity, for example, change between a straight shape and a spiral shape.

Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 2A again. In this embodiment, the casing 110 has an opening 110 a, and the bracket 120 is located in the opening 110 a and connected to the casing 110 . Therefore, there is a U-shaped gap between the housing 110 and the bracket 120 , and the bracket 120 and the housing 110 match each other in appearance. In addition, the bracket 120 may be integrally formed with the housing 110 . The material of the housing 110 and the bracket 120 may include rubber or other flexible materials. In other embodiments, the materials of the casing 110 and the bracket 120 may also be different.

Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 2B , in this embodiment, the bracket 120 has a frame fixing section 122 , a frame bending section 124 , a frame extending section 126 and a frame end section 128 which are sequentially connected to each other. The frame fixing section 122 is connected to the housing 110 . The elastic sheet 130 has a piece fixing section 132, a piece bending section 134, a piece extending section 136 and a piece end section 138 connected to each other in sequence, and the piece fixing section 132, the piece bending section 134, the piece extending section 136 and the piece end section 138 are respectively located The frame fixing section 122 , the frame bending section 124 , the frame extending section 126 and the frame end section 128 .

Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 3 again. In this embodiment, the elastic piece 130 protrudes in an arc shape in a direction opposite to the back 112 of the housing 110 . Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B , by pressing the sheet fixing portion 122 along the pressing direction A, the elastic deformation of the sheet bending portion 124 can be triggered to change the shape of the bracket 120 .

Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 3 again. In this embodiment, the elastic piece 130 has a plurality of ribs 130 a located on the piece extension section 136 to reduce the elastic deformation of the piece extension section 136 , thereby reducing the deformation of the frame extension section 126 . Furthermore, in this embodiment, the thickness of the shelf extension section 126 may be increased relative to the thickness of the shelf bending section 124 to reduce the elastic deformation of the sheet extension section 134 . In other words, the thickness of the frame extension section 126 is greater than the thickness of the frame bending section 124 to reduce the elastic deformation of the sheet extension section 136 .

Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 2A again, the bracket 120 has a groove 120a, and the groove 120a is located at the frame bending section 124, and when the sheet bending section 134 elastically deforms to deform the frame bending section 124, the two opposite side walls of the groove 120a They abut against each other to limit the degree of bending of the frame bending section 124 , thereby determining the degree of inclination of the frame extension section 126 of the bracket 20 relative to the housing 110 .

Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 3 again, the elastic piece 130 has two communicating holes 130b, and multiple parts of the bracket 120 respectively pass through these communicating holes 130b, so that the bracket and the elastic piece are closely connected. In this embodiment, the communicating holes 130b are respectively located at the sheet fixing section 132 and the sheet end section 138 , but it is not limited thereto.

To sum up, in the present invention, when the housing and the electronic device need to be supported, the shape of the bracket can be changed through the elastic deformation of the elastic piece, so that the bracket supports the housing and the electronic device relative to the plane. When there is no need to support the housing and the electronic device, the shape of the bracket can also be changed through the elastic deformation of the shrapnel, so that the bracket and the housing can regain mutual cooperation in appearance. In addition, the bending degree of the frame extension section can be adjusted according to actual needs by forming ribs on the sheet extension section of the elastic sheet or increasing the thickness of the frame extension section of the bracket without excessive bending. In addition, the degree of bending of the curved section of the frame can be limited by grooves formed on the frame.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in conjunction with the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the appended claims.
