Description

{A HOLDER FOR MOBILE DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a stand for a mobile device, and more particularly, to a stand for a mobile device, which is attached to a lower portion of an upper cabinet of a kitchen and can adjust the lengths of the front and rear of the holder and the rotation in the left and right directions, The present invention relates to a holder for a mobile device, which can be separated and used for moving to another position or mounted on another support.

As the performance of portable mobile devices such as smart phones or smart pads has improved, it has become an era in which mobile phones and the Internet can be solved by a single mobile phone. So with a mobile phone, you can easily access the information you need, wherever you are, and the time it takes to use your phone is getting longer.

Excessive immersion in portable mobile devices may have side effects in health and interpersonal relationships, but it is beneficial to improve quality of life, convenience and efficiency when used properly.

A mobile device such as a mobile phone has an advantage that a small terminal can access the Internet or watch videos at anytime and anywhere. However, since the terminal is small, there is a disadvantage that it is required to maintain the posture by hand or support it by using a cradle. Recently, various types of cradles for portable terminals have been introduced.

Currently, most of the cradles for mobile devices are used on a desk or table, or mounted on a vehicle. In reality, there are few cradles that can be used while housekeeping in a kitchen. Especially, housework is often carried out with a sink and a gas range. Therefore, it is somewhat difficult to use a kitchen set which is not freely adjustable in direction of the terminal or is not easily adjustable in length, .

In case of a housewife, it would be good if there is a shelf for a mobile device that can watch DMB or watch video anywhere in the left or right direction of the kitchen by connecting it to the kitchen storage.

As described later, it is possible to provide two or more supporting brackets 150 to allow the first rotating coupling unit 210 to be mounted at a desired position. Further, a structure for preventing the support bracket 150 and / or the first rotation coupling portion 210 from separating from each other may be further provided, and the bracket 150 may be designed to be easily rotated. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that there are various kinds of known devices that exhibit such a configuration and function, and that such a configuration can be employed in the present invention.

Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawings, the shapes of the support bar coupling portion 150 and the first rotational coupling portion 210 may be reversed. That is, the supporting rod coupling part 150 may be formed in a cylindrical shape, and the first rotary coupling part 210 may have a cylindrical or circular through-hole shape.
