Description

Cradle for portable terminal {Cradle for portable terminal}

The present invention relates to a cradle for a mobile terminal, and in particular, a tablet-type portable computer such as an iPad (i-pad) capable of driving various applications based on its own operating system (OS) can be used. The present invention relates to a cradle for a portable terminal, which is suitable for use in a state and is convenient to carry and carry.

As users of mobile devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, and MP3 players increase, the use of cradles for fixing and mounting portable devices is also increasing.

1 to 3 are diagrams for explaining a conventional portable terminal holder disclosed in the Utility Model Registration No. 35385 (2004.03.08.). As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the lower part of the portable terminal 11 is inserted into the body 15 of the holder and the upper part with the display screen is exposed. Both ends of the U-shaped support 17 are coupled to the left and right sides of the cradle body 15 by the rotation screw 19 to adjust the angle of the support 17 and the body 15 about the rotation screw 19. Rotating the support 17 around the rotating screw 19 to mount it in a triangular form, the portable terminal 11 inserted in the body 15 is also inclined so that the user can easily view the display screen.

The width of the support 17 is the same as the width of the body 15 and as shown in FIG. 3, when the support 17 is folded in parallel with the body 15, the support 17 is exposed except the front of the mobile terminal 11. Wrap all the parts. Therefore, when carrying or storing in such a state, foreign matter such as dust is prevented from being accumulated on the operation button 13 protruding from the side of the portable terminal 11, and the exterior of the portable terminal 11 is protected.

However, the above-described conventional cradle is not suitable for tablet-type computers such as the iPad (i-pad), which is recently made by the US Apple and is gaining innovative evaluation and popularity.

(I) The iPad has a screen size of about 9.7 inches except for a peripheral border as shown in FIG. 4A. Therefore, the cradle as shown in Figure 1 is not suitable for showing the entire screen.

(Ii) The iPad also rotates with the screen turned horizontally or vertically as shown in FIG. 4B. Therefore, the cradle as shown in Figure 1 is not possible to rotate sideways is not suitable for performing this function.

(I) The iPad may use a touch screen keyboard as shown in FIG. 4C, but the cradle as shown in FIG. 1 is not suitable for using the touch screen keyboard in a mounted state.

(Iii) The cradle, as shown in FIG. 1, may be suitable for storage or portability, but is inadequate for use of the functionality of the mobile terminal in a stationary state.

Accordingly, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cradle for a portable terminal suitable for use in a state where the tablet-type portable computer such as an iPad (i-pad) when unfolded, and carrying around when folded There is.

The cradle for a mobile terminal according to the present invention for achieving the above object, has a left and right legs extending downwards at the bottom and the connecting pin is installed at the ends of the legs connecting the two legs, the upper part through the shaft through hole penetrating back and forth Body formed; A pedestal through which a pin through hole is formed along one edge to insert and insert the connection pin so that the connection pin is rotatable in the front and rear directions between the legs; And a rotation shaft inserted into the shaft through-hole, and extending to both sides perpendicular to the rotation shaft about the rotation shaft so as to rotate laterally when the rotation shaft is rotated. And a fastening table for supporting the portable terminal.

The fastening stand is divided into a first fastening stand and a second fastening stand. At this time, the first fastening stand is slidably fitted inside the second fastening stand and is installed to change the overall width of the fastening stand according to the sliding direction. Preferably, the outer end of the first fastening stand and the outer end of the second fastening stand have bent portions so as to be fitted opposite to both edges of the portable terminal. It is preferable that a rubber buffer layer is attached to the inside of the bent portion.

The concave and convex ring is preferably installed on the outer surface of the connection pin and the inner surface of the pin through hole of the pedestal so that the concave and convex ring is formed on the outer surface of the connection pin. At least one is preferably made of an elastic material. Similarly, it is preferable that an uneven ring is installed on the outer surface of the pivot shaft and the inner surface of the shaft through hole of the body so as to be coincident with each other in a finger shape, wherein the uneven ring is formed on the outer surface of the pivot shaft and the inner surface of the shaft through hole of the body. At least one of them is preferably made of an elastic material.

A keyboard connection terminal may be installed at an outer end of a corner where the pin through hole of the pedestal is formed, and in this case, it is preferable that a connection terminal electrically connected to the portable terminal is installed inside the bent portion of the fastening table.

According to the cradle according to the present invention, the entire screen except the peripheral borders, such as the iPad, the screen turns to the side, and can be equipped with various applications, such as a desktop or a laptop, a portable terminal with a lot of situations using a keyboard simply This is useful when you want to use it instead of mounting it. Furthermore, it is very convenient to carry around because it can be folded to maintain a flat shape.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The following examples are only presented to understand the contents of the present invention, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that many modifications can be made within the technical spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be construed as limited to these embodiments.

Figure 5a is a perspective view for explaining when the cradle for the portable terminal according to the present invention is unfolded, Figure 5b is a right side view of Figure 5a, Figure 5c is a rear view of Figure 5a. 5A to 5C, the cradle 100 for a mobile terminal according to the present invention is divided into a pedestal 110, a body 120, and a fastening stand 130.

The lower portion of the body 120 has both left and right legs (121, 122) extending downward and the connecting pin 111 is inserted through the ends of both legs to connect both legs (121, 122). The pedestal 110 has a pin through hole formed along one corner so that the connecting pin 111 is inserted and inserted, and is installed to be able to rotate back and forth between the legs 121 and 122 with the pin through hole as an axis.

The upper portion of the body 120 is formed with a shaft through hole penetrating back and forth. Fastening table 130 has a rotation shaft 140 is inserted into the shaft through-hole, extends to both sides perpendicular to the rotation shaft 140 around the rotation shaft 140 to rotate the rotation shaft 140 When installed in front of the body 120 to rotate sideways accordingly.

When the support pin 111 is turned over, it is difficult to maintain the angle of the body 120 and the support 110 when the pedestal 110 is unfolded, so as shown in FIG. On the outer surface of the 111 and the inner surface of the pin through hole of the pedestal 110 is provided with a gentle concave-convex ring (111a, 110a) to match each other in the form of a finger. At this time, at least one of the two concave-convex rings 111a and 110a is preferably made of an elastic material so that the connecting pins 111 rotate without difficulty. Likewise, the concave and convex rings 140a and 120a are respectively installed on the outer surface of the rotation shaft 140 and the inner surface of the shaft through hole of the body 120 so as to coincide with each other in the form of a finger as in FIG. 9B.

When the pedestal 110 is rotated back by rotating the connecting pin 111 in an axis to be extended to form a predetermined angle with the body 120, the pin through hole is provided on the pedestal 110 so as to electrically connect the keyboard 200. The keyboard connection terminal 112 is installed at the outer end of the formed corner.

6 is a view for explaining the fastening table 130 of FIG.
