Description

Technical field

The group of inventions relates to electronic mobile devices, for example, tablet computers and smartphones, and to accessories for them, namely, means for carrying them and supporting them in use.

State of the art

The widespread prevalence of electronic mobile devices, such as a tablet computer, etc., has led to the development of a large number of accessories that increase the convenience, ergonomics and safety of the transportation and use of electronic devices, including:

- bags, cases, cases for carrying;

- bags for various purposes, including luggage bags equipped with special compartments for electronic mobile devices;

- tables, stands and stands for installing the computer in a working position;

- combined multifunctional devices.

Luggage bags are known whose structural elements serve as a stand for a laptop computer stored in the same bag. One of the prerequisites for creating these combined multifunctional devices is the need for the user to keep the computer in working position, while maintaining proper control over the luggage.

For example, a luggage bag is known that is equipped with a compartment for accommodating a tablet computer during transportation, as well as a tray that is formed on the top panel of the bag to place the tablet computer in working position (US Patent No. US8991575 B2, IPC A45C 13/00, publ. 31.03. 2015 [1]).

Also known is a luggage bag with a telescopic handle, containing a pocket for accommodating a laptop computer, made on the outside of the front wall of the bag, and a flat rigid stand for the computer (US Patent No. US 9277796 B1, IPC A45C 5/14; A45C 9/00; A45C 13 / 28; A45C 7/00; A45C 13/26, published on 03/08/2016 [2]). The flat stand is movably connected to the telescopic handle, with the possibility of fixing on the extended handle in the working position, in which the surface of the stand is in a plane normal to the axis of the telescopic handle, and the stand is placed in a separate compartment near the back wall of the bag when carrying it.

The possibility of using well-known technical solutions [1] and [2] is limited to large-sized luggage bags equipped with a telescopic handle. These solutions cannot be used in bags of other purposes, for example, handbags or bags with a shoulder strap. In addition, the known luggage bag [1] does not provide the ability to adjust the working position of the electronic device.

As a prototype of the proposed device for an electronic mobile device, a well-known multifunctional laptop case was selected, with the possibility of conversion to a portable stand containing a telescopically sliding stand and connecting elements for fixing the electronic device to the first end section of the rack (US Patent No. US 7819247 B2, IPC B65D 85 / 00; A47B 3/10; A45C 5/14; B65D 5/52; H05K 5/00, published on October 26, 2010 [3]).

A well-known case [3] includes a rigid case, a platform located in the lower compartment inside the case, and a collapsible stand located under the platform. The collapsible stand comprises a telescopically sliding stand, upper and lower bases and connecting elements for fixing the electronic device to the first end section of the rack. The second end section of the rack is hinged on the lower base. When folded, the lower base is flush with the outer surface of the lower compartment of the housing, creating a continuous outer surface of the case. During the deployment process, the telescopically sliding stand is at an angle to the body and to the lower base, and when deployed, the stand takes on the shape of “Z”.

A disadvantage of the known device [3] is that to transfer the electronic device to its working position when used together with a carrying bag, the user will need to completely remove the known device from the bag, and when used together with the luggage bag, in addition, at the same time as on the computer to monitor the safety of the bag. In addition, the known device [3] does not provide for the user to select the landscape or portrait orientation of the electronic device during operation, which limits the functionality when using an electronic device with a touch screen.

As a prototype of the proposed electronic mobile device, a well-known multifunctional laptop case was selected, with the possibility of conversion to a portable stand containing a telescopically sliding stand, the first end section of which is fixed in the case body movably (US Patent No. US 7819247 B2, IPC B65D 85/00; A47B 3/10; A45C 5/14; B65D 5/52; H05K 5/00, published on October 26, 2010 [3]).

A well-known case [3] includes a rigid case, a platform located in the lower compartment inside the case, and a collapsible stand located under the platform. The collapsible stand contains a telescopically sliding stand, upper and lower bases. The first end section of the rack is pivotally mounted on the upper base. The second end section of the rack is pivotally mounted on the lower base. When folded, the lower base is flush with the outer surface of the lower compartment of the housing, creating a continuous outer surface of the case. During the deployment process, the telescopically sliding stand is at an angle to the body and to the lower base, and when deployed, the stand takes on the shape of “Z”.

A disadvantage of the known device [3] is that to transfer the electronic device to its working position when used together with a carrying bag, the user will need to completely remove the known device from the bag, and when used together with the luggage bag, in addition, at the same time as on the computer to monitor the safety of the bag.

There are various designs of covers, cases, etc., designed for the safe transportation of mobile devices.

For example, there is known a case for transporting a laptop computer having a front and rear walls, one of which is made openable, the upper and lower walls and the first and second end walls, together forming a closed volume, with the possibility of placing a laptop computer in it (US Patent No. US 6298964 B1, IPC A45C 13/26; A45C 13/00; A45C 5/00; A45C 5/14; B65D 5/14, publ. 09.10.2001 [4]).

To work on a computer, it is removed from the case.

The well-known case [4] is used only for transporting electronic mobile devices and does not perform any functions associated with the use of these electronic devices in the working position, thereby it has limited functionality.

As a prototype of the proposed bag for an electronic mobile device, a well-known bag is selected that contains at least the first and second walls, connected to each other from below with the possibility of tilting the first wall relative to the second, and elements connecting the first and second walls from above and / or sides with the possibility of mutual fixation of the walls at a certain angle, with the possibility of placing an electronic mobile device in the cavity between these walls (RF Patent No. RU 2546458 C2, IPC A45C 3/02, publ. 04/10/2015 [5]). Fixing a well-known bag in a half-opened state allows you to work with a tablet computer in mobile mode without removing the bag from your chest.

However, the known bag [5] does not provide ergonomics when working on a tablet computer that is in the bag when it is half open, because the computer is close to the front of the user’s case, and the latter must tilt its head excessively.

Disclosure of invention

The proposed group of inventions is aimed at creating accessories (both built-in and external) for electronic mobile devices, mainly with a touch screen, which provide the ability to transport electronic mobile devices in bags for various purposes, and at the same time devoid of the above disadvantages of the known devices:

- provide a continuous connection of the electronic device with the bag;

- provide the ability to change the working position of the electronic device,

and also - allow you to work with an electronic device, such as a tablet computer, on the go.

The technical result when implementing the invention in terms of the proposed device for an electronic mobile device is the possibility of fixing it in the compartment or pocket of a bag (including a hand bag, a bag with a shoulder strap or a luggage bag), while providing a continuous mechanical connection of the electronic device with bag - during transportation of this device, when it is pulled out of the bag, during operation and when the device is moved back into the bag.

The specified result is achieved by the fact that the known device for an electronic mobile device containing at least one telescopically sliding rack and connecting elements for securing the electronic device on the first end section of this rack is supplemented with new features:

- the connecting elements are configured to fix the electronic device in a plane parallel to the axis of the rack;

- the second end section of the rack is made with the possibility of fixing it on a surface parallel to the axis of the rack.

The new features, in combination with the known features, provide a continuous mechanical connection of the electronic device with the bag when the second end section of the telescopically sliding rack is mounted on the wall of the compartment or pocket of the bag. This provides the possibility of translational movement of the electronic device in a plane parallel to the specified wall, from the position in which the electronic device is in the cavity of the compartment or pocket of the bag, to the position in which the electronic device is fully extended from this cavity.

In the particular case of the invention, the second end section of the rack can be made with the possibility of its detachable mounting.

The possibility of detachable fastening of the second end section of the telescopically sliding rack allows you to use the proposed device of the choice of the owner in different bags, and also as an element of the stand having a base with a surface parallel to the axis of the rack when the electronic device is in the working position.

Detachable fastening can be carried out using well-known technical means - for example, permanent magnets, magnetoplastics, self-adhesive removable-detachable fasteners, etc.

The connecting elements for fastening the electronic device to the first end section of the telescopically sliding rack can be implemented by known technical means - for example, mechanical or magnetic mounts.

In the particular case of implementation, the connecting elements for securing the electronic device are configured to select the landscape or portrait orientation of the electronic device by the user. This feature provides an additional result when using an electronic device with a touch screen - the ability to change its orientation. The implementation of this feature is possible, for example, by performing a swivel in the fixing unit of the electronic device, the axis of which is normal to the plane of the electronic device.

The technical result when carrying out the invention in terms of the proposed electronic mobile device is the possibility of fixing it in the compartment or pocket of a bag (including a hand bag, a bag with a shoulder strap or a luggage bag), while providing a continuous mechanical connection of the electronic device with the bag - during transportation of this device, when it is pulled out of the bag, during operation and when the device is moved back into the bag.

This result is achieved by the fact that the known electronic mobile device containing at least one telescopically sliding rack, the first end section of which is fixed in the housing of the electronic device, is supplemented with new features:

- the first end section of the rack is placed in the plane of the electronic device and is fixed motionless;

- the second end section of the rack is made with the possibility of its detachable fixing on a surface parallel to the plane of the electronic device.

The new features, in combination with the known features, provide a continuous mechanical connection of the electronic device with the bag when the second end section of the telescopically sliding rack is mounted on the wall of the compartment or pocket of the bag. This provides the possibility of translational movement of the electronic device in a plane parallel to the specified wall, from the position in which the electronic device is in the cavity of the compartment or pocket of the bag, to the position in which the electronic device is fully extended from this cavity.

Detachable fastening of the second end section of the rack can be carried out using well-known technical means - for example, permanent magnets, magnetoplastics, self-adhesive removable and detachable fasteners, etc.

The technical result when carrying out the invention in terms of the proposed bag for an electronic mobile device is the possibility of continuous mechanical connection of the electronic device with the bag - during transportation of this device, when it is pulled out of the bag, during operation and when the device is moved back to the bag. In addition, it is possible for the user to change the operating position of the electronic device in an up-down direction and in an angular direction in a plane normal to the plane of the electronic device.

This result is achieved due to the fact that the known bag for an electronic mobile device containing at least the first and second walls connected to each other from the bottom with the possibility of tilting the first wall relative to the second, and elements connecting the first and second walls from above and / or the sides with the possibility of mutual fixation of the walls at a certain angle, with the possibility of placing an electronic mobile device in the cavity between these walls, is supplemented with a new sign:

- the bag contains attached to the inner surface of the first wall of the above-described device.

Together with the known features, the new feature provides the possibility of translational movement of the electronic device in a plane parallel to the first wall, from the position in which the electronic device is in the cavity between these walls, to the position in which the electronic device is fully extended from this cavity. This provides the possibility of continuous mechanical connection of the electronic device with the bag - during transportation of this device, when it is pulled out of the bag, during operation and when the device is moved back into the bag.

When using the proposed bag, it is possible to change the working position of the electronic device by the user in two directions:

a) in the up and down direction - by extending to a given length of sections of a telescopically sliding stand;

b) in the angular direction in the plane normal to the plane of the electronic device, by tilting and fixing the position of the first wall relative to the second.

The indicated properties of the proposed bag allow you to install the electronic device in a convenient working position for a user who is in a position both sitting, standing, or on the go.

In this application, the end section of a telescopically extendable rack connected to an electronic device is called the first. This section may be male or female. The second end section of a telescopically sliding stand is called the end section, mounted or designed to be fixed on a supporting surface, relative to which the electronic device is moved during use. The telescopically sliding stand may also comprise intermediate sections.

The implementation of the invention

The device for an electronic mobile device (Fig. 1-2), for example, for a tablet computer, contains a telescopically sliding rack 1 consisting of a first end section 2, a second end section 3, and an intermediate section 4. Permanent magnets are fixed to the second end section 3 5 and 6. At the first end section 2, a horizontally oriented bracket 7 is made with a flat platform 8 on which a sheet magnetoplast (so-called magnetic tape) 9 is glued.

To fix the tablet computer 10, on the first end section 2, on the back side of the computer case (Fig. 3), a plate 11 of ferromagnetic material is fixed.

To fix the second end section 3 on the supporting surface 12, plates 13 and 14 of ferromagnetic material are fixed on the latter.

In this example (see FIG. 4), the second end section 3 is female. The device works as follows.

The tablet computer 10 is fixed on the first end section 2, for which the mating surfaces of the sheet magnetoplast on the bracket 7 are combined with the plate 11 on the back of the computer 10.

The second end section 3 is fixed on the supporting surface 12, for which the mating surfaces of the permanent magnets 5 and 6 are combined with the plates 13 and 14 on the supporting surface 12. As a result, the tablet computer 10 is mechanically connected to the supporting surface 12, with the possibility of translational movement of the computer in plane parallel to surface 12.

In the initial position, the rack 1 is folded, and the tablet computer 10 occupies the position shown in FIG. 1-2 dash-dot line with two points.

To transfer the computer 10 to the working position, extend sections 2 and 4, set the required rack height and fix the selected mutual position of the sections (fixing means are not shown conventionally in the drawing).

In another exemplary embodiment (Fig. 5-6), the device for a tablet computer includes a telescopically sliding stand 15 consisting of a first end section 16, a second end section 17 and an intermediate section 18. A horizontally oriented bracket 19 with a flat platform is made on the second end section 17 20, onto which a sheet magnetoplast (a so-called magnetic tape) is glued 21. A permanent magnet 22 is fixed on the first end section 16 to a hinge, the axis 23 of which is normal to the plane of the tablet computer. In this example, the second end section 17 is male.

To fix the tablet computer 10 on the first end section 16, on the back of the computer case, a plate 24 of ferromagnetic material is fixed.

To fix the second end section 17 on the supporting surface 12, a plate of ferromagnetic material (not conventionally shown in the drawing) is fixed on the latter, with the possibility of interaction with the sheet magnetoplast 21.

The device works as follows.

The tablet computer 10 is fixed on the first end section 16, for which the mating surfaces of the permanent magnet 22 are combined with a plate 24 of ferromagnetic material on the back of the computer case.

The second end section 17 is fixed on the supporting surface 12, for which the mating surfaces of the magnetoplast 21 are combined with a plate of ferromagnetic material on the supporting surface 12.

In this example, it is possible to rotate the tablet computer on the axis 23, for the user to select the landscape or portrait working position of the computer. In FIG. 5, the tablet computer 10 is shown in two positions — landscape (shown by the main line) and portrait (shown by the dash-dot line with two dots). Otherwise, the operation of the device in this example does not differ from that described above in the first example.

In the third example, the electronic mobile device (Fig. 7-9), for example, a tablet computer 25, is equipped with two telescopically sliding racks 26, comprising: the first end sections 27 located in the plane of the tablet computer 25 and fixed motionlessly in the computer case at its side ends; second end sections 28 equipped with permanent magnets 29; intermediate sections 30.

On the supporting surface 12, which is parallel to the plane of the tablet computer 25, a plate 31 of ferromagnetic material is fixed, with the possibility of interaction with magnets 29.

In this example, the second end section 28 is male.

An electronic mobile device operates as follows.

In the initial position, the telescopically sliding racks are folded and occupy the position shown in FIG. 9.

To fix the second end sections 28 of the telescopically sliding racks on the supporting surface 12, extend the sections 28 so that the magnets 29 are accessible from the outside of the computer 25, then combine the mating surfaces of the permanent magnets 29 on the second end sections 28 with the plates 31 on the supporting surface 12. B as a result, the tablet computer 25 is mechanically connected to the supporting surface 12, with the possibility of translational movement of the computer in a plane parallel to the surface 12.

To transfer the computer 25 to the working position, the second end sections 28 and the intermediate sections 30 are advanced, the required height of the uprights 26 is set and the selected relative position of the sections 27, 28, 30 is fixed (fixing means are not shown conventionally in the drawing).

In the fourth example, a bag for an electronic mobile device (Fig. 10-14) contains cavities for various purposes, including a pocket 32 for accommodating an electronic mobile device, limited to the first 33 and second 34 walls. The walls are interconnected from below, with the possibility of tilting the wall 33 relative to the wall 34 (Fig. 11). On the sides of the bag are made half-open latches, containing a pivot-lever mechanism 35, in which the hinge 36 is equipped with a locking element (not shown conventionally in the drawing).

On the inner surface of the first wall 33, plates 13 and 14 of ferromagnetic material are fixed, by means of which the device described above in the first example is fixed on the wall 33 (see Fig. 2), i.e. the inner surface of the first wall 33 is a supporting surface for the specified device.

In this example, the articulated link mechanisms 35, in addition to the main function, also increase the spatial rigidity of the structure formed by the walls 33 and 34, thereby increasing the stability of the position of the electronic mobile device relative to the bag in the working position.

Bag for electronic mobile device operates as follows.

The tablet computer 10 is fixed on the first end section 3 of the telescopically sliding rack 1, as described above in the first example.

In the initial position, the rack 1 is folded, the tablet computer 10 is placed in the cavity of the pocket 32, and the wall 33 is located essentially parallel to the wall 34 (see Fig. 12).

To transfer the computer 10 to the working position, extend sections 2 and 4, set the required rack height and fix the selected mutual position of the sections (fixing means are not shown conventionally in the drawing).

In the operating position shown in FIG. 13, the pocket 32 is opened so that the wall 33 is left in a position parallel to the wall 34, and the rack 1 is oriented essentially vertically. Moreover, the line of sight 37, normal to the plane of the tablet computer 10, is oriented essentially horizontally.

In the fifth example shown in FIG. 14, the pocket 32 in the operating position is open so that its wall 33 is inclined with respect to the wall 34, and the rack 1 is oriented at an acute angle to the vertical. In this case, the gaze line 38 is oriented obliquely and upward towards the user's eye, so that the user's eye can be located at a height greater than in the example in FIG. 13. Otherwise, the operation of the bag in this example does not differ from that described above in the fourth example.

Examples of execution confirm the possibility of carrying out the invention, with the implementation of this purpose.

The above examples do not exhaust the possible options for implementing the invention. For example, a different number of telescopically sliding racks can be used, the racks can have a different shape, other connecting elements can be used for fastening, etc.
