Equal limited location block 31 above and below on the inside of the opening of first slotted eye 3, the limited block 31 are used for
Plug-in unit 5 carries out spacing when inserting the first slotted eye 3 to the 3rd spherical 73 and the 4th spherical boss 76 of boss, prevents the 3rd spherical boss
73 and the 4th spherical boss 76 depart from the first slotted eye 3 and come out.
First slotted eye 3, the second slotted eye 4, plug-in unit 5, rubber band 6 form one group of component, and cell-phone cover is at least provided with two groups
Component, two groups of components are located at cell-phone cover upper and lower part, can preferably bundle mobile phone charge pal, can also set more respectively
Group.
In order to increase other functions for the cell-phone cover for being convenient for carrying charger baby, as shown in figures 1 to 6, in addition to fixation is convex
Platform 02, rotatable part 03, support 04, the fixing lug boss 02 are fixed on the first frame 1, and rotatable part 03 is set in solid
Determine on boss 02 and can be rotated around fixing lug boss 02, the support 04 is fixed on the lateral wall of rotatable part 03, the first side
The installation place of support 04 is corresponded on frame 1 and is provided with shallow slot 05, the side of support 04 carried out by shallow slot cell wall 051 it is spacing, support 04
Opposite side is carried out spacing by the spacing preiection 06 on shallow slot 05；Angular adjustment gear projection 07, angle are additionally provided with shallow slot 05
Regulation stall projection 07 is used positioned at the lower section of fixing lug boss 02 and with the homonymy of spacing preiection 06, the angular adjustment gear projection 07
Carried out after to the anglec of rotation of support 04 spacing.
The height of spacing preiection 06 can not be too high, it is only necessary to normally without using support 04 in the case of support 04 is carried out
It is spacing, it is necessary to during using support 04, support 04 can be crossed spacing preiection 06 with external force, not hinder spinfunction.Together
Sample, the height of angular adjustment gear projection 07 can not be too high, otherwise can influence to rotate.
As shown in figure 8, support 04 includes the pen cap 042 and penholder 08, the penholder 08 is removably inserted in the pen cap 042.
As shown in figure 8, the fixing lug boss 02 is mushroom, fixing lug boss bottom 021 is fixed on the first side of cell-phone cover
On frame 1, the diameter of fixing lug boss top 022 is bigger than the diameter of fixing lug boss bottom 021.
As shown in figure 9, the rotatable part 03 includes plane 032 and curved surface 033, the plane 032 is convex with fixation
The coaxial annular shape of platform 02 or semi-annular shape, semicircle shape are used in the present embodiment, plane 032 is set in fixing lug boss bottom 021
On, the curved surface 033 is centered around around plane 032, and groove 031 is provided with the lateral wall of the curved surface 033.Such as Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 institutes
Showing, the tail end of support 04 is provided with the projection 041 coordinated with groove 031, and support 04 is arranged in groove 031 by projection 041, because
For curved surface and the support 04 of rotatable part 03, to be directly connected to contact area too small, so passing through groove 031 and projection 041 connects
Connect, glue can also be added to strengthen stability so that connection is more abundant, is not easy to make the disengaging of support 04 can in the case of frequent rotation
Rotary part 03.
The angular adjustment gear projection 07 has multiple, has three in the present embodiment, multiple angular adjustment gear projections 07
Positioned at the lower section of fixing lug boss 02 and with the homonymy of spacing preiection 06, be distributed centered on the axle of fixing lug boss 02 in dispersion shape.
Such as Figure 10, the penholder 08 includes at least two section pen sections, there is three sections in the present embodiment, respectively the first stroke section 081,
Second section, 082, the 3rd section 083, described 081 to the second section 082 of the first stroke section is thin, second section, 082 to the three section
083 is thin, and 081 to the second section 082 of the first stroke section is long, and second section, 082 to the three section 083 is long, is so just unlikely to shrink
The first stroke section 081 and second section 082 can not pull and afterwards；Second section, 082, the 3rd section 083 is hollow, and second is saved 082
Head is arranged the afterbody of the first stroke section 081, and the afterbody of the first stroke section 081 and second 082 head limited location portion of section are (internally, not
Show), the head of the 3rd section 083 is set in second 082 afterbody of section, second 082 afterbody of section and the 3rd 083 section header portion
Limited location portion (internally, is not shown), departs between two pen sections that the limiting section is used to prevent from being connected with each other, the first stroke section
081 head is provided with nib 084.
The fixing lug boss 02 of the present embodiment is located at the bottom of the first frame of mobile phone 1, can also design in other sides of cell-phone cover
The position of frame, the bottom of the first frame of cell-phone cover 1 use hard material.Due to fixing lug boss 02 more than the lower left corner, rotatable
Part 03, support 04, the load-bearing in the lower left corner than other parts weight, so the material in the lower left corner can use it is somewhat hard any
Material, if such mobile phone is thrown, most power is born in the lower left corner, and more preferable protective effect can be played to mobile phone.
The structure brings other two kinds of functions to cell-phone cover, when without using support or screen touch pen, can shrink penholder
Insert afterwards in the pen cap, on rotatable part；When needing to use handset mounting, support is overcome to limit under external force
The certain angle of the raised rotary limited in position, can be limited in needs using angular adjustment gear projection by support as needed
On angle gear, support deviates an angle with plane where mobile phone, plays a part of support support mobile phone with this；When needs make
During with screen touch pen, penholder is extracted from the pen cap, penholder stretching can be used as into screen touch pen uses, and playing a cell-phone cover can be with
Realize the effect of multiple functions.
