Cradle for Mobile Phones {CRADLE FOR PORTABLE TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a cradle for a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a cradle for a mobile terminal that can be coupled to the mobile terminal and easily converted into a cradle to support the mobile terminal inclinedly.

Recently, many electronic devices such as DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), PMP (Portable Multimedia Player), tablet PCs, and smart phones, which are easy to carry and provide a lot of data through an image output device, have been released.

In particular, the mobile terminal has gained much popularity by adding additional functions such as TV, movie watching, and camera in addition to the mobile communication function.

In order to view data through such a mobile terminal, the image output unit (display unit) of the mobile terminal should be maintained at an appropriate angle so that the user can see it well. You should lean on a place like this.

However, if the user is holding by hand, it is difficult to maintain the state for a long time because the shoulders and wrists go unnecessarily, and leaning against a wall is very inconvenient because it is restricted in places.

Therefore, the portable terminal is mounted so that the portable terminal can stand in any place for a long time.

Such a cradle for a portable terminal is shown in detail in Publication No. 10-2009-0041540, Registration No. 10-1024928, and so on, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

However, the conventional portable terminal holder for the above, the structure is relatively complicated, or when combined with the portable terminal has been inconvenient to carry.

In this case, the coupling member 200 couples the leaf spring 100 to the rear surface of the protective case, thereby coupling the leaf spring 100 to the rear surface of the mobile terminal 300 through the protective case.

It is sufficient that the protective case is made of a conventionally known general case.

In addition, the cradle 10 of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4 (b), both ends of the leaf spring 100 is bent in an arc shape, such as fingers inside the bent leaf spring 100 By gripping the portable terminal 300, the user may move to easily hold the mobile terminal 300 while viewing.

As described above, in the present invention, when the leaf spring 100 is not used as a holder, both ends of the leaf spring 100 are pushed in the direction of the portable terminal 300 to be converted into a deployed state to the rear of the portable terminal 300. By being in close contact with each other, the volume can be reduced and interference with other materials can be reduced.

In addition, when the plate spring 100 is to be used as a holder, both ends of the leaf spring 100 are bent in the opposite direction of the portable terminal 300 by pressing the center of the leaf spring 100 in a one-touch direction. By converting to the bent state, the mobile terminal 300 can be inclinedly supported.

Therefore, the cradle 10 of the present invention is always coupled to the portable terminal 300, the leaf spring 100 can be easily converted to the deployed state and bent state by the external force by the user and the state as it is Maintainable, excellent portability and usability.

In addition, as described above, the user inserts a finger into the inside of the leaf spring 100 while the leaf spring 100 is bent, so that the user can easily grip the mobile terminal 300 while moving.

'This is a cross-sectional view taken on line.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the holder 10 for the portable terminal of the third embodiment includes a leaf spring 100, a coupling member 200, and a protective case 260.

The leaf spring 100 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and there is a difference between the coupling member 200 and the protective case 260, which will be described below with reference to the coupling member 200 and the protective case 260. do.

In FIG. 9, the leaf spring 100 is accommodated in the coupling member 200 and is not illustrated.

10 and 11, the coupling member 200 surrounds the leaf spring 100 and has wings 242 protruding from both sides thereof.

At this time, the coupling member 200 is made of silicon or synthetic resin that can have a certain degree of strength while the wing portion 242 can be elastically deformed.

The wing portion 242 has a locking projection protruding in the longitudinal direction of the leaf spring 100, that is, the X-axis direction.

In addition, the protection case 260 surrounding the mobile terminal 300 has an insertion fixing hole 262 to which the wing portion 242 is inserted and coupled.

Therefore, the leaf spring 100 is coupled to the rear surface of the mobile terminal 300 through the protective case 260.

In this case, a seating groove 261 in which the leaf spring 100 is inserted is formed on the rear surface of the protective case 260, and the insertion fixing hole 262 is formed at both sides of the seating groove 261.
