DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, which is illustrated in the accompanying figures. The aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood by those skilled in the art from the detailed description of the embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Exemplary embodiments of the present application and the description thereof are for illustration purpose only, and should not be construed as limitation to the protective scope of the present invention.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the protective case 1 of the present invention may comprise a first portion 2, a second portion 3 opposite against the former and a ring 4 for attaching the first portion 2 to the second portion 3.
With reference to Fig. 3, the first portion 2 is provided with a cavity 21 for receiving part of an electronic device 6, such as a mobile phone, while exposing a screen of the latter. Similarly, the second portion 3 is also provided with a cavity 31 for receiving the remaining of the electronic device 6 while exposing the screen of the latter.
To enable the first and second portions 2 and 3 to adjoin each other tightly, a lip 32 could be extended outwards from an edge of the second portion 3 facing to the first portion 2, while a flute 22 could be formed into an edge of the first portion 2 facing to the second portion 3. The flute 22 is used for receiving the lip 32 when the first and second portions contact each other.
Particularly shown in Fig. 2, an annular groove 5 is formed on an outer surface of the first and second portions 2 and 3 along contacting edges of the latters, for receiving the ring 4. Therefore, a segment of the annular groove 5 is formed on the first portion 2, while the remaining of the annular groove 5 is formed on the second portion 3. A screw thread 51 is formed on a side wall of annular groove 5 with a smaller diameter, and a matching screw thread 41 is formed on an inner side wall of the ring 4 to engage with the screw thread 51.
Within the annular groove 5, a flap 23 could be extended from the edge of the first portion
2 facing to the second portion 3, while a matching recess 33 could be formed on the second portion 3 for receiving the flap 23 when the first and second portions 2 and 3 contact each other.
As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the protective case 1 could be provided with a plurality of openings 24 and 34 on the first and second portions 2 and 3 respectively, for external access to ports, buttons and switches of the electronic device 6, for instance, docking port, charging port, headphone jack, on/off switch, opening for lens, etc.
The assembly of the protective case of the present invention is as follows. Firstly, the two portions 2 and 3 of the protective case are sleeved onto the electronic device 6, to receive the electronic device 6 while expose the screen of the latter. Next, the two portions 2 and 3 are moved towards each other to contact each other. Then, the ring 4 is placed into the annular groove 5. Finally, the ring 4 is rotated to enable the screw threads 41 and 51 engage with each other. Therefore, the protective case 1 is attached tightly onto the electronic device 6.
Figs. 5-7 illustrate a second embodiment 10 of the protective case of the present invention. The second embodiment 10 is similar to the first embodiment 1 except that, in the second embodiment 10 at least a through hole 14 is provided with the first portion 12 and/or the second portion 13. The second embodiment 10 may be further provided with an anchor 15 for
each of the at least a through hole 14. The anchor 15 comprises a base 151, a strut 152 extending upwards from the center of the base 151, and a hole 153 formed at tip of the strut 152. The size of the base 151 is slightly larger than that of the through hole 14, while the size of the strut 152 is slightly smaller than that of the through hole 14 to enable to be inserted through the latter. Before the second embodiment 10 is sleeved onto the electronic device, the strut 152 of the anchor 15 is inserted into the through hole 14 from the side of the cavities of the first and second portions. Then, a strap 16 could be attached to the hole 153 of the anchor 15 to enable the protective case of the present invention together with the electronic device to be hanged around the neck of a user.
Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate that two through holes 14 are provided on the first and second portions 12 and 13 respectively, and two anchors 15 are mounted at the two through holes respectively. Then, the strap 16 could hang the protective case in different orientations.
Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate a third embodiment 10' of the protective case of the present invention. The third embodiment 10' is similar to the first embodiment 1 except that, in the third embodiment 10' at least a through hole 14' is provided with the first portion 12' and/or the second portion 13'. Within each through hole 14', a transverse spacer 15' is formed in the middle of the through hole. As shown in Fig. 9, a strap 16' could be attached to the protective case around the transverse spacer 15' within the though hole 14', to enable the protective case of the present invention together with the electronic device to be hanged around the neck of a user.
Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate a fourth embodiment 100 of the protective case of the present invention. The fourth embodiment 100 is similar to the first and second embodiments 1 and 10, except that in the fourth embodiment 100, at least a locking tab 1051 is formed at an upper part of a side wall of an annular groove 105 with a smaller diameter. Correspondingly, at least a trough 1041 is formed in an inner side wall of a ring 104 of the fourth embodiment, and a receiving notch 1042 is formed at end of each trough 1041 for receiving the locking tab 1051. When the ring 104 is placed into the annular groove 105, the locking tab 1051 is received into the receiving notch 1042 firstly, and then trapped in the trough 1041 with the rotation of the ring 104. Thus, the two portions 102 and 103 of the fourth embodiment could be fastened tightly with the ring 104.
Figs. 12-14 illustrate a fifth embodiment 200 of the protective case of the present invention. The fifth embodiment 200 is similar to the fourth embodiment 100 except for the
following differences.
In the fifth embodiment 200, a bulge 2024 is extended from a periphery of a flap 2023 of a first portion 202 towards a recess 2033 of the second portion 203, while a matching cut 2034 is formed on an edge of the recess 2033 for receiving the bulge 2024. The depth of the cut 2034 is formed in such a manner that the bulge 2024 could be slightly moved up and down along the depth of the cut by releasing or pressing down the flap 2023.
Correspondingly, an indentation 2043 is formed in an inner side wall of the ring 204 for receiving the bulge 2024. After the ring 204 is disposed into an annular groove 205, the bulge 2024 would spring into the indentation 2043 with the rotation of the ring 204. Then, the rotation of the ring 204 could be prevented by the engagement of the bulge 2024 and the indentation 2043.
To release the ring 204, a user only needs to press down the flap 2023. Thus, the bulge 2024 would be moved downwards along the depth of the cut 2034, and then disengage from the indentation 2043. Thereby, the ring 204 could rotated to be detached from the first and second portions 202 and 203.
Fig. 15 illustrates a sixth embodiment 300 of protective case of the present invention. The sixth embodiment 300 is similar to the fifth embodiment 200 except that the ring in the sixth embodiment 300 is replaced by a cap 304. Similarly, the ring in the other embodiments could be replaced by a cap.
As mentioned above, the two portions of the protective case could be fastened by the ring or cap by means of thread screws or combination of locking tab and trough. However, other kinds of fasteners could also be applied between the first and second portions of the present protective case, such as Velcros, magnets, etc., which are well known in the art and would be not described in details herein.
Although the description of the present invention is made with reference to the preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Various modifications and changes can be made to the invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scopes of the present invention.
