Description

Personal device fastening system

Mobile phones are an essential tool of business and are becoming a common means of personal communication. Thus, they are transported with the user when moving from one position to another.

One way the mobile phone is carried is to move it in the user's pocket. To use the phone, the user must take the phone out of the pocket, which is cumbersome and relatively insecure. The mobile phone may be accidentally moved out of the pocket. This can cause the mobile phone to drop and / or be damaged. Moreover, pickpockets can easily steal mobile phones.

Another popular way in which mobile phones are carried is through the use of belt clips. The belt clip is typically attached directly to the mobile phone or to a casing covering the mobile phone. The belt clip is then clipped to the user's belt. Again, mobile phones are easily accessible, but bulky and only provide limited phone movement when attached to a user. Commonly known belt clips with attached telephones are often inconvenient because limited movement can cause the mobile phone to dig into the user's leg and / or the telephone is accidentally unclipped due to the user's movement. Such known clips attached directly to the back of the phone result in the phone protruding outwardly away from the user. Such an arrangement exposes the phone to the possibility of being damaged by hitting an object when worn.

Another popular way to carry a mobile phone is to carry it in a bag such as a handbag or a backpack. This improves the security of the mobile phone, but reduces accessibility. The mobile phone may ring while in the bag, and the user must search the bag to find the mobile phone. Often the phone misses a signal due to the time it takes for a person to locate the mobile phone.

A recent trend in mobile phones is to allow messages of "SMS text message" or visual type to be displayed without requiring audible communication. Thus, there is no need to always place the phone close to the user's head in order to communicate. The background art mentioned above requires the user to unclip the phone from the stored location or to remove the phone from the pocket so that the user sees the display or the keypad. This is inconvenient and increases the risk of dropping or losing the phone.

The present invention relates to a fixed system for protecting personal devices and objects. The present invention will be described with reference to using a mobile telephone. However, it should be understood that the fastening system can be used to protect various objects such as keys, security cards, cameras, portable video recorders, electronic filing or personal digital assistants (PDAs), satellite navigation devices, and the like. do.

Clip without quick release mechanism

1A-1L show a first implementation of a clip 300. A recess in the form of a canal 310 extends through a portion of the body 301 to form a capture area 311. The capture area 311 is defined by a first opening 310a, for example an upper inlet and a second opening 310b, for example a bottom outlet, each of which is shown as an inlet gate. It can be blocked by one gate 320 and a second gate 330 shown as an exit gate. The inlet gate is shown as a degradable plate 320 positioned proximate the opening 310a of the conduit 310 and the second gate 330 as the outlet pin positioned proximate the second opening 310b. Is shown.

A depressible gate * 320 is located in the tapered positioning channel 34 and mounted via a first screw 321 relative to the body 301. The positioning channel 340 is tapered such that it tapered towards the opening 310a. The attachment member is shown as an attachment clip 350 attached to the body 301 using first and second screws 321, 322, which may be located in the threaded holes 321a, 322a. Attachment clip 350 may be secured to clip 300 through any suitable fixture, such as screws, rivets, welding, adhesives, and the like.

The outlet pin 330 is biased to close the lower opening 310b of the conduit 310 through the spring 331. Fins 366 may be attached to the outlet fins 330 to maintain and inhibit the clouding of the outlet fins 33 in the hollow chamber 367 and the fins 366 are shown in the embodiment of FIGS. 1E and 1G. It contacts the spring 331 as shown. The outlet pin 330 can be lowered such that the arcuate aperture 332 located in the outlet pin 330 is aligned with the opening 310b, opening the conduit 310 as shown in FIG. 1G.

The capture member shown as plug 400 is captured in capture area 311 as shown in FIG. 1D. The term "capture" as used herein means to hold and fix the capture member in the capture area. When the gate is closed to block the opening of the capture area, the capture member is captured in the capture area. The plug 40 is pressed against the reversible plate 320 so that the plug 400 can be captured. This causes the degradable plate 320 to degrade, opening the top or the opening of the conduit 310. The plug 400 then moves toward the opening 310a of the conduit 310 while the positioning channel 340 provides guidance to the plug 400. Once the head 401 of the plug 400 has passed into the conduit 310, the degradable plate 320 moves to its starting position to close the gate by preventing the head of the plug 400 from being moved by it. The stem 402 of the plug 400 extends through the conduit 310.

When plug 400 must be removed from capture area 310, exit pin 330 is lowered to open exit gate 330 and plug 440 slides out of conduit 310 as shown in FIG. 1F. Lose.

The features of the clip 300 described above allow the plug 400 to pass in a single direction to attach and release the plug 400 to the clip 300. The figures show a single direction as a downward direction, which provides a convenient and easy means for attaching and releasing a telephone. Downward release of the plug and attached telephone is assisted by gravity. However, another embodiment of the present invention has a gate so that the capture member (s) can enter and exit the capture region at its top and bottom openings. For example, a gate such as exit gate 330 or gate 830 shown in FIGS. 19A-19F may be used in either or both openings 310a, 310b.

The length of the conduit 310 can be any suitable length. In one embodiment, the conduit 310 can accommodate several plugs 400, and in another embodiment, the conduit 310 is substantially long enough to hold the plug 400, There is almost no slippage of the plug 400 in the capture area 311. Although the conduit 310 is shown linearly, the conduit 310 may be curved, toothed, or otherwise shaped.

The plug 400 may include implementations of the plug 402 of FIGS. 8A and 8B and the plug 700 shown in FIGS. 8C-8H.

Features of the clip 30 allow the telephone 10 to be substantially suspended under the clip 300 as shown, for example, in FIGS. 1H, 1L, 6C and 6F. It should be understood that this arrangement minimizes the outward shape of the phone when attached to the clip. The clip allows the phone to be at least partially suspended below the clip so that the width of the clip is not significantly added to the outwardly extending shape of the phone, which is the case for conventional mobile phone clips attached to the back side of the phone. to be. This arrangement also reduces the likelihood that the telephone will be damaged by accidental bumping into the object. This also further increases the convenience of the user wearing the clip and the phone.

The clip 300 can be caught onto the belt 12 through the attachment clip 350 shown in FIGS. 1H and 1L. The clip 300 can be used to secure anything to which the plug 400 can be attached, such as, for example, a systolic 100 or a mobile phone 10 as shown in FIGS. 1H and 1L. .

Clip with quick release mechanism for single pin

1J-1O illustrate another embodiment of a clip 302 having an adjustable hole suitable for securing a pin of an attachment member in a “quick release” manner to be described herein. Operation of the clip 302 to capture the capture member is as described above.

Two plates 360, 361 are mounted to the rear of the clip 302. Plate 360 is fixed, while plate 361 is reciprocally mounted and biased towards plate 360 by helical spring 37. Arc-shaped holes 362 and 363 are located in each plate to form an adjustable aperture. Knob 364 forms part of plate 361 and can be accessed from the side of clip 302.

The back cover plate 380 forms the back of the clip 302. The holes 381 and 382 are used to position the screws (not shown) to attach the cover plate 380 to the fuselage at the threaded holes 321a and 322a. The hole 383 is used for the location of the pin 390 shown in FIG. 1K.

The pin 390 has a head 391 and a shaft 392. Channel 393 is located on shaft 392. Pin 390 is used to attach clip 302 to an object, such as a garment or belt.

Pin 390 is connected to clip 302 by passing shaft 392 through hole 383. The ends of the shaft 392 engage the arcuate holes 392 and 363 and force the plate 361 away from the plate 360. Plates 360 and 361 then engage channel 393 to grip pins 390. Pin 390 can be removed by moving knob 364 upwards to cause plate 361 to move away from plate 360 as shown in FIG. 10. This allows the arcuate holes 362 and 363 to release the channel 392 so that the pin 390 can be removed.

The clip may have a number of different attachment means to the object, such means having attachment members as shown in FIGS. 1P-1S and described above. 1P shows an embodiment of an attachment member with an adhesive strip 305 attached to its back such that the clip 302 can be attached to a suitable flat wall such as a wall. The removable protective cover 305a covers the adhesive strip 305 prior to use. 1Q shows an embodiment of an attachment member as attachment clip 350 attached to clip 302. Attachment clip 350 has a pin (not shown) similar to that shown in FIGS. 4G and 4H. 1R shows the insertion of the attachment member to the clip 302, shown as pin 390. This is also shown in FIG. 1K. 1S shows the attachment member as a loop 307 attached to the fuselage 301 of the clip 302. Loop 307 may be placed on the belt such that clip 307 cannot be removed accidentally, providing additional stability. Such attachment members, or similar variations thereof, can be used with other embodiments of the clip.

Clip with quick release mechanism for two pins

2A-3D show other implementations of the clip 600. The operation of the clip 600 to capture the capture member is substantially the same as described above for other forms of the clip. That is, the capture member can be positioned and captured within the capture area 311 and two independently operated gates are located proximate to openings 310a and 310b opposite the capture area 311. The first gate is shown as the entrance gate in the form of a degradable plate 612. And the second gate is shown as an exit gate in the form of an exit pin 330. The clip 600 may also have a positioning channel 340, which tapers towards the inlet of the capture area to move the capture member (s) of the capture area 311 in a manner similar to that for other forms of the clip. Orient toward opening 310a.

The clip 600 differs from the previous form by being adapted to secure the attachment member by two pins using a mechanism of "quick release" described later. In addition, the outlet pin 330 of the clip 600 is deflected by a spring 306 located at the end of the outlet pin 330 that is inserted into the hollow chamber 367. The outlet pin 330 is held in the hollow chamber 367 by a pin 366, which is attached to the outlet pin 330 and extends into an elliptical through-hole 304 as shown.

The capture area 311 may further include an insert or liner 311a, for example, as shown in FIG. 3D. The liner is a tube having a continuous slit in the longitudinal direction that is substantially cut through one wall of the tube. The slit allows passage of the neck portion of the plug when the plug is positioned in the liner of the capture area. The liner can increase the durability of the channel because the liner can be made of any suitable material, which can be different from the body of the clip. For example, the liner may be stainless steel, which is a material that reduces wear and friction caused by the capture member moving in the capture area, and is the same material as the capture area or any other suitable material. The liner can be used with any implementation of the clip described herein.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the clip 600 has a body 601 and two plates 602, 603 mounted behind the body 601. The fuselage 601 includes threaded holes 617, 618, 619 for attaching the rear cover plate 611, threaded holes 620, 621 for attaching the attachment member using a screw, and hereafter in more detail. It has holes 608a and 609a for positioning pins of the attachment member to be described. An elliptical through hole 304 is connected to the hollow chamber 367 so that the pin 366 can be positioned in the through hole 304 when attached to the outlet pin 330. The recess 665 is suitable for holding the spring 610 as shown. The stop 666 limits the medial movement of the plates 602, 603.

Each plate 602, 603 has an arcuate edge and a pair of hook members extending therefrom. Plate 602 has hook members 604, 605 and plate 603 has hook members 606, 607. Each plate 602, 603 is slidably mounted relative to the rear of the body 601 of the clip 600 and is deflected against each other by a helical spring 610. Tabs 602a and 603a shown in FIG. 3D protruding from individual plates 602 and 603 may be inserted into recesses 665 shown in FIG. 2G. Tabs 602a and 603b stop the outward movement of the individual plates 602 and 603. The stop 666 limits the forward movement of the plates 602, 603.

Individual adjustable apertures 608, 609 are formed by individual hook members 604, 606, and 605, 607. As will be described in more detail herein below, the individual adjustable apertures 608, 609 are suitable for repeatedly receiving and retaining fixtures, such as pins, for “quick release” and attachment of the attachment member.

As shown in FIGS. 3A-3C, the rear cover plate 611 may be attached to the rear of the body 601 of the clip 600 by screws 660, 661, 662 as shown in FIG. 3D. The degradable plate 612 is adjacent to the back plate 613 and may be located in the positioning channel 340. The back plate 613 has holes 614, 615, 616 used for screws (shown in FIG. 3D) positioned to attach the back cover plate 611 to the back of the fuselage 601 of the clip 600. Threaded holes 617, 618, 619 located behind the fuselage 601 of the clip 600 shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2G are aligned with the individual holes 614, 615, 616 of the back plate 613. Thereby allowing access of the attachment screws 660, 661, 662 shown in FIG. 3D to attach the rear cover plate 611 to the rear of the fuselage 601 of the clip 600.

The holes 620a and 621a of the rear cover plate 611 have an attachment member, for example, a looped attachment member as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the back of the body 601 of the clip 600. It is used to position a screw for mounting through a separate screw screwed into the threaded holes 620, 621 with respect to it. The attachment members described herein for “quick release” and attachment to clip 600 may likewise be attached to clip 600 using screws.

Alternatively, or in addition, attachment members may be attached via a securing pin to the rear of the fuselage 601 of the clip 600. The securing pins may be conical or round as described herein. The holes 625 and 626 of the rear cover plate 611 are used to position the individual conical pins 627 and 628 and the round pins 629 and 630, which are plate attachment members 635 and plates, respectively, shown in FIGS. 4A-4N. The attachment member 633, the clip attachment member 634, and the hook attachment member 680 are attached to the attachment member 633. Individual attachment members 624, 633, 634, 635, 680 attached to the rear of the fuselage 601 of the clip 600 using retaining pins are rapidly and easily attached and released (ie, in a "quick release" manner as described herein). Desorption).

The implementations of the attachment members 624, 633, 634, 635, 680 suitable for use with the clip 600 of the above-mentioned embodiments are similar to those described for the embodiments of the clip 302. One notable difference, however, is a pair of pins, which can be removably inserted into individual adjustable apertures 608, 609. Attachment members having two or more pins have an advantage over a single pin in that the two or more pins prevent rotation of the attachment member relative to the clip and also provide a more robust attachment. Will be understood.

As mentioned above, the pin may have a pointed or conical head as shown in FIG. 4D for the plate attachment member 635 and shown in FIGS. 4E and 4F for the plate attachment member 633. As such, it may have a rounded head as shown in FIGS. 4G-4L for the clip attachment member 634 and as shown in FIGS. 4J-4N for the hook attachment member 680.

Pins 627 and 628 are attached to an elliptical base plate and are shown in FIGS. 4C and 4D, each pin having a conical head 636 and a separate shaft 637. Channels 638 and 639 are located on each shaft 637, as shown, and clip 600 through apertures 608 and 609, which are adjustable by engaging one of the channels 638 and 639 depending on the thickness of the material through which the pin passes. To allow the pin to be locked.

Conical pins 627 and 628 of plate attachment member 635 are used to attach clip 600 to an object, such as a garment, a backpack, a belt, or the like. Conical pins 627 and 628 can be inserted through the garment, sandwiching the garment between the back of the fuselage 601 of the clip 600 and the plate attachment member 635. Conical pins 627 and 628 through the individual holes 625 and 626 of the back plate 611 to which the individual head 636 and shaft 637 are attached, into the individual adjustable holes 608 and 609 and the body of the clip 600. It is attached by passing into the individual holes 608a and 609a at the rear of 601. Individual heads 636 of each pin 627, 628 are received by and engaged with individual adjustable apertures 608, 609 to open each adjustable aperture 608, 609 by forcing each plate 603, 602 to disengage from each other. do.

2A and 2B show adjustable pairs of hook members 604 and 608 and adjustable apertures 608 and 609 formed by hook members 605 and 607. FIG. 2A shows the adjustable apertures 608, 609 in the open position and FIG. 2B shows the apertures 608, 60 in the closed position. Since plates 602 and 603 are deflected by springs 610, adjustable apertures 608 and 609 are suitable closed positions to engage channels 638 and 639 to grip or secure respective pins 627 and 628 into the channels of the pins. To be biased.

Pins 627 and 628 may be removed by applying a force against helical spring 610 biased towards the center of clip 600 on the arcuate ends of plates 602 and 603. In doing so, the adjustable apertures 608 and 609 are widened or opened respectively (see FIG. 2A), releasing the individual channels 638 or 639 of the individual pins to allow release of the individual pins. In the preferred embodiment shown, the force must be applied simultaneously towards the center of the clip 600 on the arcuate ends of the plates 602, 603 to release the pins. This prevents the inadvertent release of the pin when only one of the two arced ends of the plate is degraded, for example by accidental price of the object.

For the clip attachment member 634 the individual round pins 629 and 630 shown in FIGS. 4G-4L and the individual round pins 629 and 630 shown in FIGS. 4E and 4F for the plate attachment member 633 are shown in FIG. 4C. And the conical pins shown in FIG. 4D, but the heads are round. Each round pin 629, 630 has a head 640 with a channel 642 and a shaft 641. The numbers of items shown for the round pins 629 refer to the same components for the round pins 630, which are not numbered. An action similar to that described above for conical pins 627 and 628 is used to insert and remove round pins 629 and 630 into clip 600.

The round head 640 may be required when the attachment members 633, 634 are not attached to the product or part of the garment. The conical pin can be assisted by passing the pin through the garment. The round head can avoid unwanted sharp contact with the user's skin or object, which can be accidentally scratched or damaged.

The plate attachment member 633 shown in FIGS. 4E and 4F may be used to secure the clip 600 to a surface such as a desk or wall or a dashboard of an automobile. In this form, the attachment member may be attached to the dashboard by applying an adhesive to the back surface 643. Useful adhesives include glues, adhesive tapes, and adhesive strips.

The clip attachment member 34 shown in FIGS. 4G-4L has a plate 644 that forms a clip that can be used to secure the clip 600 to a belt, pocket or other object. The clip attachment member 634 is shown as a continuous U-shaped plate 644. However, the clip attachment member 634 can have other suitable configurations, for example, it is understood that the plate 644 can have multiple pieces that are spring biased and single or hinged together. Will be.

Plate 644 has a retaining member 631 as shown to be assisted by securing the clip attachment member 634 to the item. For example, the belt may be located in the space 632 of the attachment member 634. In other embodiments, the clip attachment member 634 may not have a retaining member 631.

The looped attachment member 624 shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B has a loop 645 that can be used to secure the clip to a belt or other strap. Looped attachment member 624 has holes 646 and 647 for positioning screws 622 and 623 to attach looped attachment member 624 to the clip. The looped attachment member may also have round pins similar to the pins 629, 630 to be attached to the clip in a “quick release” manner as described herein, not shown. Thus, the looped attachment member 624 may be secured to the clip by screws and / or pins. The other attachment members can likewise be attached to the clip via screws and / or pins.

The hook attachment member 680 is shown as having a body 681 and a hook end 682 in FIGS. 4J-4N. The fuselage 681 has two round pins 683, but other suitable number of pins may be used and the pins need not necessarily be round, for example, may be conical as described herein. The hook attachment member 680 is attached to the rear of the clip 600 in the same manner as the attachment member shown in FIGS. 4C-4L. That is, the pins 683 may be removably inserted and retained in the adjustable securing apertures 608, 609 of the clip 600.

In the embodiment of the hook attachment member 680 shown in FIGS. 4J-4N, the opening 684 allows for positioning the hook attachment member 680 into a belt loop, ring, handbag or other item. It is not necessary to close the opening 684 with a gate, which is typically associated with a standard rope anchor ring, as shown, for example, in FIGS. 17A-18C. Instead, when the hook attachment member 680 is attached to the rear of the clip 600, the clip 600 covers the opening 684 as shown more clearly in FIG. 4M. In this way, the clip 600 will keep the item to which it is attached in a fixed manner.

When the clip 600 is to be removed from the item, the plates 602 and 603 are pressed inward to release the pin 683 therefrom by opening the adjustable anchoring apertures 608 and 609. When the hook attachment member 680 is released from the back side of the clip 600, the opening 684 is exposed so that the item can be released from the hook attachment member 680.

Although the preferred embodiment is shown in FIGS. 4J-4N with respect to the hook attachment member 680, other embodiments are contemplated. For example, although the gate is not shown, it will be appreciated that a deflected or unbiased gate can likewise be attached to the back side of the clip 600. Such an implementation may be similar to more conventional rope anchoring rings with biasing means for closing the gate, securing the clip 600 to the item. Suitable types of rope anchoring rings have those shown in FIGS. 17A-18C.

The hook attachment member 680 also permits movement of the clip 600 when attached through a belt loop, for example. When the clip is attached to the phone, the phone can be moved and positioned by the user moving the clip. This additional movement allows the user to easily see the display of the phone without removing the phone from the clip. This has the advantages as described above, such as seeing SMS text messages and the like.

It will be appreciated that the above mentioned attachment members can be exchanged quickly and easily because of the use of a "quick release" locking mechanism of the pin and clip. Each attachment member is firmly attached to it when secured to the clip. Thus, unintentional detachment of the attachment member will not be avoided or even occur when rubbing against objects such as tables, walls and bushes. In addition, each attachment member may have a suitable shape, for example, round, square, rectangular or the like. Although the figures show a fixture with screws and pins, other fixtures may be used as selected by one of ordinary skill in the art. Other fixtures include bolts, rivets, welds, and the like.

Embodiments of the present invention have an attachment member permanently fixed to the clip and are thus interchangeable. Also, although two pins are shown for clip 600, any suitable number of pins may be used, for example a single pin or any number greater than two pins.

Clip with capture area with single opening

Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 19A-19F, where the clip 800 is a fuselage 801, a capture region 811 shown as a recess in the form of a conduit, and a gate 830 shown as a fin. And a positioning channel 840. A liner (not shown) may be inserted into the capture area 811 as described above with respect to the present invention.

The capture area 811 has an opening 812 that is an inlet, for example, which may allow the capture member (s) to enter and exit the capture area 811. At the bottom end 813, the capture area 811 is closed so that the capture member can emerge from the bottom end of the capture area.

Gate 830 is located at the inlet of the capture area, and the gate is openable so that the capture member (s) can be passed through the inlet to be located within and removed from the capture area 811. When the gate 830 is closed, the capture member (s) are retained in the capture area 811 and are therefore captured therein. Gate 830 is opened by moving a pin so that inlet 812 is aligned with groove 831 as shown in FIG. 19F. The gate is closed by moving the pin so that the groove 831 is no longer aligned with the inlet 812 and instead the inlet is blocked by the pin as shown in FIG. 19D. 19E shows the transition of gate 830 from open and closed positions. Gate 830 is secured in an open or closed position by retaining balls 834, which may be located in groove 832 or groove 833. The retaining ball 834 is biased towards the pin by the spring 835. The gate can have a different shape, for example, the gate can be opened and closed by rotating the pin with the groove so that the groove is aligned with the inlet in the open position and the pin rotates so that the groove is no longer aligned with the inlet. It will be understood.

The positioning channel 640 is shown tapered towards the inlet of the capture area and can be assisted by orienting the capture member (s) toward the inlet 812.

The back side of the clip 800 is shown in FIG. 19C, with threaded holes 817, 818, and 819 for attaching an unshown back cover plate 611. The threaded holes 819, 820 are for positioning a screw for attaching the attachment member as described herein for another form of clip. The back side of the clip 800 may be like any other form of the clip 300, 302, 600 as described herein. That is, the attachment member may be secured to the rear side via a quick release mechanism as described herein by a fastener comprising a screw and / or pin (s). It will be appreciated that a clip having similar backside configurations, for example the same means for attaching the attachment member, allows for the sharing and quick replacement of the attachment members for an individual clip.

It will be appreciated that the clips mentioned above can insert and remove the capture member in the capture area with only one hand.

Clip 800 of this type may be useful, for example, when the clip is attached to a wall, the interior of a car, or the side of a desk. For example, a mobile phone attached to the capture member can be conveniently placed in the capture area with the gate fixed in the open position. Gravity will tend to keep the phone in the capture area at a location proximate the closed bottom end of the capture area 811 when the clip is oriented with the inlet upwards. With the gate 830 fixed in the open position, the phone can be easily inserted into and removed from the capture area 811 repeatedly. The gate 830 can be closed to capture the capture member and prevent accidental discharge from the capture area 811, but this may not be necessary or desired during repeated use of the phone.

Capture member / stop member

5A-5J illustrate an embodiment of the capture member in the form of a plug 400. The plug 400 includes a plug body 410 and a connecting pin 420. The connecting pin 420 is pivotally mounted to the plug body 410 and includes a head 421 and a stem 422. The connecting pins 420 are attached to the fuselage 410 via retaining bars 423 to form a hinged connection. The pivoting movement of the connecting pins 420 relative to the plug body 410 allows the object to which the plug is attached to be oriented in a desired manner. For example, and as shown in FIG. 5J, if the connecting pin 420 is secured to the plug fuselage 410, the plug fuselage 410 is directed downward relative to the capture area 311 as opposed to extending outwardly. It can be extended to.

6A-7K illustrate plugs that can be attached directly to the mobile phone 10. 6A-6F, the plug 401 is attached to the phone using an adhesive tab 430. Tab 430 is attached to mobile phone 10 and cylinder 440 disposed on tab 430. The bracket 450 is positioned above the tab 430 with the edge of the bracket 450 attached to the tab 430. The connecting pin 460 is attached to the cylinder 440 using an associated threaded hole 441 in the cylinder 440 and a threaded stem 461 of the connecting pin 460. The top plate 470 is disposed on the bracket 450 above the connecting pin 460 to complete the assembly of the plug 401.

Another adhesive cover 471 can be placed at the rear of the mobile phone to assist in protecting the mobile phone 10 from any damage due to daily use.

The plug 401 allows the mobile phone to move in three dimensions so that the phone can move freely up and down and sideways when the phone is positioned in the clip. As shown in FIG. 6C, the pin and the attached telephone can move up and down 180 ° and also rotate 360 ° relative to the clip as well as perpendicular to the clip. Also contemplated are embodiments in which the up and down (hinge) movement is less than 180 °, for example 45 °, 90 ° and 105 °. Such embodiments may include a stopper and / or biasing means, for example a spring, to stop motion less than 180 ° to move the pin 460 to a position that is about the same height as, or about the same height as, the back side of the phone. Return Moreover, means such as a ratchet may keep the pin 460 increased at a particular angle.

Alternatively, plug 401a may be assembled as a hinged pin with base 472 and connecting pins 460 as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B. The bottom side 473 of the base 472 may be attached to a mobile phone. The connecting pin 460 can move as shown by the arrow of FIG. 7B. Mobile phone 10 may then be attached to clip 300 or 600.

As with the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6A-6F, the plugs shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B have a pin and attached telephone set 180 ° up or down when positioned within the capture area of the clip as described herein. It can move at any angle in between and can rotate 360 °.

The plug may also have other useful embodiments shown in FIGS. 7C-7kp. 7C and 7D show an embodiment of a plug 490 having a head 491, a neck 492, and a base 493 firmly attached to each other. The length of the neck 492 may be any suitable length and in one embodiment is relatively short (about 0.5 cm or less). The fixed angle of the connecting pin 492 relative to the base 493 may be any suitable angle, for example 90 ° as shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, or some other angle. Base 493 may be attached to the rear of the mobile phone. Such a plug is not hinged, but when attached to a clip as described herein, the plug can rotate only 360 ° relative to the clip.

7E and 7F show a plug 650 having a body 654 and a pin 651 with a head 652 and a neck 653. Pin 651 may be rotated 180 ° or less about pivot point 655 of fuselage 654 as shown by the arrows in FIG. 7E. When the plug 650 is attached to the telephone, the pin 651 can be rotated in a plane parallel to the back side of the telephone. When pin 651 is used to attach the phone to the clip or clasp of the invention, the pin 651 extends beyond the fuselage 654 and typically beyond the outer end of the phone to which the plug 650 is attached. The pin 651 is rotated outward. Pin 651 may be rotated to a retracted position when not in use to be secured in groove 656. Plug 651 may be biased and / or ratcheted such that pin 651 may be secured at a desired angle relative to fuselage 654. Although the pin 651 is shown as being capable of being rotated 180 °, other angles of rotation are contemplated for other embodiments, for example about an angle between 0 and 360 ° or about a fixed pivot point. It will be appreciated that embodiments of plugs that provide rotation that can be freely rotated will be understood. 7F shows a top view of the plug 650 at the pin 651 extended and retracted positions.

In another embodiment, the plug 67 has the form of a bayonet type, as shown in FIGS. 7G-7L. Plug 670 may extend from the retracted position shown in FIG. 7H to the extended position shown in FIG. 7I. When extended, pin 671 can be inserted into the catch area of the clip or into the stop area of the clasp. When the pin 671 extends outwardly, the T-shaped end 673 fits into the groove 674 to secure the pin as shown in the partially cut plane of the fuselage 672a in FIG. 7L. In other embodiments the extended pin 671 is hinged to allow for additional movement.

The other plug 675 shown in FIGS. 7J and 7K includes a flat plate 676, a neck 677, and a head 678. Plug 675 is attached to the telephone by attaching a flat plate 676 to the back side of the telephone. The length of the neck 677 may be any suitable length chosen by those skilled in the art. Preferably, the neck is of sufficient length to extend past the outer end of the phone. This plug, like other plugs, may be bonded with a clip or clasp, as described herein, or any other suitable device.

The above mentioned plugs and pins may be made of any suitable material, but are preferably made of metal, more preferably stainless steel. The above mentioned plugs can be joined with any suitable cooperation, but are preferably joined with a clasp or clip as described herein. Thus, any one of the plugs described herein may fall within the limitation of the "capture member" and / or "stop member". The capture member and the resistant members may have other members described herein, which are selectable by those skilled in the art, that may be captured or blocked within the capture region or resistant region.

A user wearing a clip having a phone attached through a plug as described herein can sit without the mobile phone poking the user's side or damaging the clip. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7B, for example, the plug 401 is relatively thin compared to a conventional clip attached to the rear side of the telephone. This reduces the shape extending out of the phone when attached to the clip. As shown, for example, in FIGS. 6C and 6F, the plug 401 allows the telephone 10 to be suspended at least partially under the clip 300, when attached to the clip 300. Minimize the shape extending outward. Minimizing the outwardly extending shape of the phone with the clip can reduce accidental damage caused by price or rubbing against the object.

The user simply looks at the phone in the right direction (ie, screen or display and numbers are oriented upwards) by lifting and / or inverting the phone at any angle to the clip, such as display, screen, keypad, The plug can be attached to the phone so that the number can be read. For example, the plug may be attached to the bottom rear side of the phone as shown in FIG. 6F. Thus, in this way, the telephone can be observed without having to detach the telephone from the clip. It will be appreciated that the recent trend in mobile phones is an increase in SMS text messages or visually visible types of messages. Such messages do not require auditory communication and therefore do not need to place the phone close to the user's head for communication. In such a situation, the display of the telephone can be observed without removing the telephone from the clip of the present invention. Not only is this more convenient, it also reduces the risk of dropping or losing the phone in situations where the phone does not need to remain close to the user's head.

In the described embodiments the ability to rotate the phone as a whole relative to the clip makes the phone easy to see while attached to the user. This is an advantage over known clips where the phone needs to be unclipped from the stored location, for example the belt.

The overall movement of the phone allows the phone to be suspended in some position so that the antenna of the phone can be positioned away from the user's body. The present invention, which allows the phone to rotate so that the antenna is displaced from the user's body, reduces the specific absorption rate (SAR) by reducing the radiation nozzle, which is a potential health associated with exposure to SAR. Reduces the risk of injury Many telephones typically have an antenna built into the back side of the phone as opposed to having an ear and mouthpiece Once the phone is attached using a conventional known clip attached to the back side of the phone This unnecessarily exposes the user to an increased level of potentially harmful radiation, which can be avoided using the present invention.

In summary, the embodiments described herein allow the phone to hang at least partially under the clip when attached to the phone, and provide rotation of the phone so that the phone can be viewed while the phone is attached to the clip, Allows the antenna of the phone to be positioned away from the user's body.

8A and 8B show how one embodiment of a fixed plug 402 is attached to the line member 150. The elongated opening 480 forms part of the plug 402, where the line member 150 is located. A crimp 481 is disposed over the line member 150 and the crimp 481 and the line member 150 are located in the opening. Screw 482 enters through plug 402 and engages crimp 481 to hold crimp 481 in place.

Attach the line member to the capture member / stop member.

8C-8H illustrate another embodiment of the manner in which the fixed plug 700 is attached to the line member 150. In this embodiment, the plug 700 has a body 703 with a body cavity 702 and a connecting pin 760 with a ball end 761. The connecting pins 760 and ball ends 761 can be used to attach to clips 302, 600 or clasp 500, for example, as described herein.

The inner member 701 is removably positioned in the fuselage cavity 702 of the fuselage 703. The inner member 701 has two (2) channels 704 and 705 as shown to retain the individual ends of the line member 150. Ends of line member 150 are disposed in respective channels 704 and 705, respectively, such that each knotted end of line member 150 is positioned on an outer end of inner member 701 as shown in FIG. 8D. The knot prevents the line member 150 from sliding through the individual channels 704 and 705.

The inner member 701 with the knotted ends of the fixed line member 150 is inserted into the fuselage cavity 702 of the fuselage 703 so that the line member 150 passes through the aperture 706. In this manner, the line member 150 is attached to the fixed plug 700 to form a looped line member 150. The fixed plug 700 is shown with the rubber outer boot 707, which covers the inner member 701 and additionally secures it in the cavity.

The fixed plug 700 may have a through hole 770 positioned as shown in FIGS. 8C-8H to attach a fixture 771 shown as a ring. Although a ring is shown, other fasteners may be used, including for example strings, strings, clips or the like. Fixture 771 may be used to attach plug 700 to a telephone, for example, by an existing attachment aperture on the telephone (see FIG. 11). Fixture 771 may be attached to any suitable item such as, for example, keys, cameras, and pocket knives.

Other means for securing the line member in the plug 700 are contemplated, for example by knotting both ends of the line member together such that the knot is larger than the aperture 706 so that the knotted end of the line member passes through it. That is to be prevented. In addition, a cord lock or crimp may also be used to secure the end of the wire member into the cavity 702.

latch
