具体实施方式
图1A和图1B示出根据本发明教导构造的可伸展套管100的一个实例的第一实例。在该实例中,可伸展套管100包括按钮104、基部106(例如平台)以及联接到按钮104和基部106并在按钮104和基部106之间延伸的可折叠或可伸展机构102。尽管为了清晰起见从图1A和图1B中移除,但是可伸展套管100还包括可变形的盖子(例如,如图2中所示的盖子),其为了安全和舒适而以围绕并容纳(例如,保护)可折叠机构的方式联接到按钮104和/或基部106。在其它实例中,可伸展套管100可包括附加的、不同的和/或更少的组件。作为实例,可伸展套管100不需要包括盖子。
如图1A中最佳所示,该实例中基部106具有环形形状。然而在其它实例中,基部106可以替代地具有矩形、正方形、三角形或其它形状。基部106优选由金属或塑料制成,但是也可以使用其它合适的材料(例如纸板)。在任何情况下,基部106通常配置成直接或间接地联接(例如,附接、安装)到便携式媒体播放器(例如,MP3播放器、智能电话、平板电脑)或这种便携式媒体播放器的壳。为此目的,在一些情况下,基部106可以包括本领域内的普通技术人员已知的固定元件,诸如像粘合剂、胶水、胶带、吸盘、卡扣配合连接、摩擦配合、其它手段或它们的组合。备选地,在其它情况下,基部106可与便携式媒体播放器或用于便携式媒体播放器的壳一体形成。
如图1A中最佳所示,在该实例中按钮104具有环形形状。然而,在其它实例中,按钮104可具有矩形、正方形、三角形、不规则形状或其它形状。在该实例中,按钮104具有的外径还大于基部106的外径,尽管其不必是这种情况。类似于基部106,按钮104优选由金属或塑料制成,但是也可以使用其它合适的材料。按钮104具有外侧110,其例如可以包括设计(包括例如标志、文本、图形、图片)。在一些情况下,设计可由可伸展套管100的使用者选择。
可折叠或可伸展机构102通常配置成促进可伸展套管100在图1A中所示的伸展配置和图1B中所示的折叠配置之间移动,并且将可伸展套管100保持在期望的配置(伸展或折叠)下。在该实例中,机构102采取布置在盖子(未示出)内的两个薄条带形弹簧112的形式,其中每个弹簧112具有联接(例如,安装)到按钮104的内侧116(即,底侧)的第一端114以及联接(例如,安装)到平台106的内侧120的第二端118。每个条带112的第一端114优选地在按钮104的周边边缘122处或周边边缘122附近联接到按钮104的内侧116,并且每个条带112的第二端118优选地在平台106的中心123处或中心123附近联接到平台106的内侧116。每个弹簧112的第一端114可以可移除地联接到按钮104,牢固地联接到按钮104,或者与按钮104一体地形成。类似地,每个弹簧112的第二端118可以可移除地联接到平台106,牢固地联接到平台106,或者与平台106一体地形成。
在一个实例中,条带112由弹簧钢或相当的金属制成。在另一个实例中,条带112由坚硬的柔性聚合物制成。在任何情况下,条带112优选地形成为使得它们是双稳态的,即它们各自具有两个稳定状态,其中在两个稳定状态下它们抵制移动(至少起初),其中一个稳定状态是图1A中所示的伸展状态,其对应于可伸展套管100的伸展配置,而另一个稳定状态是图1B中所示的折叠状态,其对应于可伸展套管100的折叠配置。因此,当条带112处于图1A中所示的伸展状态下时,条带112保持(例如,偏置)可伸展套管100处于伸展配置下,并且当条带112处于图1B中所示的折叠状态下时,条带112保持(例如偏置)可伸展套管100处于折叠配置下。
在操作中,可伸展套管100可通过在两个稳定状态之间操纵机构102以在两个配置之间进行转变。机构102可通过抓握住或抓持住按钮104并围绕纵向轴线124使得按钮104旋转来进行操纵,按钮104旋转将又使得与联接到其的机构102围绕相同的纵向轴线124旋转,和/或抓握住或抓持住承载机构102的盖子(未示出),并且使得盖子围绕纵向轴线124旋转。条带112将又围绕纵向轴线124旋转,其中确切的旋转方向取决于可伸展套管100是否在移动到图1A的伸展配置或图1B的折叠配置。例如当可伸展套管100从图1A的伸展配置移动到图1B的折叠配置时,按钮104和条带112将在第一旋转方向(例如,逆时针方向)上围绕纵向轴线124旋转,由此使得按钮104、条带112和盖子沿着纵向轴线124在第一轴向方向上朝向平台106移动,并且基本上减小可伸展套管100的轮廓(profile)。相反,当可伸展套管100从图1B的折叠配置移动到图1A的伸展配置时,按钮104、条带112和盖子将沿与第一方向相反的第二方向围绕纵向轴线124旋转,从而使得按钮104、条带112和盖子在与第一轴向方向相反的第二轴向方向沿着纵向轴线124远离平台106移动。因此,按钮104与平台106间隔开,从而允许可伸展套管100的使用者围绕可伸展套管100的一部分缠绕便携式媒体播放器的耳机线,形成用于便携式媒体播放器的可调节支架,形成用于便携式媒体播放器的把手,和/或执行其它期望的功能。
图1C示出根据本发明教导构造的可伸展套管150的第二实例。可伸展套管150基本上类似于可伸展套管100,因为其也包括按钮104、平台106和机构102。然而,在可伸展套管150中,条带112以从它们在可伸展套管100中的路径相反的方向缠绕。因此,可伸展套管150通常可通过使得按钮104和/或盖子在按钮104和/或盖子在可伸展套管100中旋转的相反方向上旋转来在图1C中所示的折叠配置和未示出的伸展配置之间转变。
图2示出根据本发明教导构造的可伸展套管200的第三实例。可伸展套管200通常包括按钮204,基部206,联接到按钮204和基部206并在按钮204和基部206之间延伸的可折叠或可伸展机构202,为了安全和舒适以围绕并容纳可折叠机构202的方式联接到按钮204和/或基部206的可变形盖子212,以及锁定件214,该锁定件214配置成将可伸展套管200可释放地固定在未示出但与上述可伸展套管100的折叠配置一致的折叠配置中。在其它实例中,可伸展套管200可以包括附加的、更少的或不同的组件。作为实例,可伸展套管200可以不包括盖子212。
盖子212通常联接到按钮204和基部206并设置在按钮204和基部206之间。盖子212优选采用弹性体外壳(由弹性体材料制成)的形式,其包括在按钮204和基部206之间连接到彼此的多个折叠部分214。在一些实例中,诸如图2中所示,多个折叠部分214被布置成以便形成或者限定看起来像褶皱的渐缩的锥形形状。因此,在这些实例中,盖子212具有从按钮204到基部206渐缩的外径(然而也可相反)。在其它实例中,多个折叠部分214可布置成形成不同的形状,或者盖子212可以仅包括一个折叠部分214。
类似于可折叠机构102,可折叠机构202通常有利于可伸展套管200在图2中所示的伸展配置和未示出的折叠配置之间移动,并且将可伸展套管200保持在期望的配置(伸展或折叠)下。然而,在该实例中,可折叠机构202采取在按钮204和基部206之间布置在盖子212内的螺旋弹簧218(例如,由例如金属或塑料制成)的形式,使得盖子212围绕并容纳(例如,保护)螺旋弹簧218。更具体地,螺旋弹簧218具有位于抵靠按钮204的内侧116的第一端220和与第一端220相对的位于抵靠基部206的内侧120的第二端222。图2中所示的螺旋弹簧218具有基本上与盖子212的形状相对应的形状。换言之,图2中所示的螺旋弹簧218具有锥形或渐缩形状,使得第一端220的外径大于第二端222的外径。
在该实例中按钮204类似于上述按钮104,其中使用相同的参考数字来指代相同的组件。然而,不同于按钮104,按钮204还包括由按钮204的内侧116承载并从按钮204的内侧116轴向向内延伸的第一突起210。在该实例中,基部206同样类似于如上所述基部206,其中使用相同的参考数字来指代相同的组件。然而,不同于基部106,基部206还包括由基部206的内侧120承载的一对第二突起208。突起208在径向向内延伸之前从基部206的内侧120轴向向内延伸,从而限定尺寸定制成接收第一突起210的凹部216。
如将从图2理解的那样,螺旋弹簧218布置成将可伸展套管200偏置到其伸展配置。更具体地,螺旋弹簧218布置成将按钮204和盖子212偏置远离基部206并且偏置到图2中所示的与可伸展套管200的伸展配置对应的位置。因此,螺旋弹簧218在本文中也可被称为偏置元件218。在任何情况下,当可伸展套管200处于伸展配置下时,按钮204与平台206间隔开,以允许可伸展套管200的使用者将便携式媒体播放器的耳机线围绕可伸展套管200的一部分缠绕,形成用于便携式媒体播放器的可调节的支架,形成用于便携式媒体播放器的把手,和/或执行其它期望的功能。
通过克服由螺旋弹簧218施加的偏置力,可伸展套管200可以从该伸展配置移动到折叠配置。通常而言,可伸展套管200的使用者可以通过抓握住或抓持住按钮204和/或盖子212并且沿着纵向轴线224朝向平台206移动(例如,推动)按钮204和盖子212来完成。当按钮204和盖子212以这种方式朝向平台206移动时,多个折叠部分214折叠到彼此上,并且按钮204、盖子212和螺旋弹簧218可以围绕纵向轴线224旋转。
如还将从图2理解的那样,凹部216布置成当可伸展套管200移动到折叠配置时接收并保持第一突起210,使得按钮204朝向基部206移动并与基部206紧密靠近。当发生这种情况时,第一突起210移动经过第二突起208并进入凹部216,此时第二突起208接合第一突起210(以及反之亦然)。凭借第一突起210和第二突起208的形状和尺寸,第一突起210被牢固地保持在凹部216中。以这种方式,第一突起210、第二突起208和凹部216限定或形成将可伸展套管200锁定在折叠配置下的锁定件214。
本领域内的普通技术人员将会理解的是,第一突起210和第二突起208可以颠倒,但仍然相互作用以有助于将弹起套管(Popsocket)200锁定在折叠配置下。更具体地,第一突起210可以由基部206承载,以及第二突起208(其限定凹部216)可由按钮204承载。
可伸展套管200的使用者可以通过释放锁定件214而将可伸展套管200从折叠配置移动到伸展配置。通常而言,使用者可以通过抓握住或者抓持住按钮204和/或盖子212并使得按钮204和/或盖子212围绕纵向轴线224旋转来释放锁定件214,因此其使得第一突起210旋转脱离与第二突起208的接合并脱离凹部216。一旦锁定件214已经被释放,螺旋弹簧218的偏置力向外远离基部206驱动按钮204和盖子212,直到按钮204和盖子212达到伸展配置。
图3A-3C示出根据本发明教导构造的可伸展套管300的第四实例。可伸展套管300类似于可伸展套管200,由于其包括按钮304,基部306,联接到按钮304和基部306并在按钮304和基部306之间延伸的可折叠或可伸展机构302,以及配置成将可伸展套管300可释放地固定到伸展配置(图3B中示出)下的锁定件,但是可伸展套管300以下面描述的方式与可伸展套管200不同。在其它实例中,可伸展套管300可包括附加的、更少的或不同的组件。作为实例,可伸展套管300还可以包括诸如盖子212的可变形盖子。
如同可折叠机构102和可折叠机构202一样,可折叠机构302通常便于可伸展套管300在图3A中所示的折叠配置和图3B中所示的伸展配置之间移动。然而,在该实例中,可折叠机构302采取布置在按钮304和基部306之间的多个同心环322的形式。在该实例中,可折叠机构302包括三个同心环322A、322B和322C,每个同心环具有基本上楔形的横截面,但是在其它实例中,可以采用更多或更少的同心环,和/或同心环可以具有不同的形状。在任何情况下,当可伸展套管300在折叠配置和伸展配置之间移动时,同心环322可沿着纵向轴线324相对于彼此移动。此外,如图3A和图3B中所示,当可伸展套管300在折叠配置和伸展配置之间移动时,同心环322B可在同心环322A内移动,并且同心环322C可在同心环322B内移动(并且依次是环322A)。
在该实例中按钮304类似于上述按钮104,其中使用相的参考数字来指代相同的组件。然而,不同于按钮104,按钮304还包括第一环形突起308,该第一环形突起308由按钮304的内侧116承载并且在按钮304的周边边缘320处或周边边缘320附近从按钮304的内侧116轴向向内延伸。在该实例中,突起308具有内表面314,当突起308远离按钮304延伸时,内表面314径向向内弯曲。因此内表面314布置成与同心环322中的最外侧的一个(在该实例中是同心环322A)交接以有助于将同心环322保持在按钮304和基部306之间的适当位置下。
在该实例中基部306类似于上述基部106,其中使用相同的参考数字来指代相同的组件。然而,不同于基部106,基部306包括第二环形突起310,该第二环形突起310由基部106的内侧120承载并从基部106的内侧120轴向向内延伸。第二突起310设置在第一突起308和同心环322的径向内侧。换言之,第二突起310嵌套在第一突起308和同心环322内。当突起310远离基部306延伸时,第二突起310具有渐缩的外表面312。掣子313形成在外表面312的端部处或外表面312的端部附近。掣子313因此布置成与同心环322中的最内侧的一个(在该实例中是同心环322C)交接以有助于将同心环322保持在按钮304和基部306之间的适当位置下。一些实例中,诸如图3A和图3B中所示的一个实例,最内侧的同心环322(在该实例中为322C)也可以包括沟槽,其尺寸定制成接收并干涉地接合掣子313,以便进一步有助于将同心环322保持在适当位置下。
在操作中,可伸展套管300可以过操纵按钮304和/或机构302来在伸展配置和折叠配置之间转变。更具体地,可伸展套管300的使用者例如可通过抓握住或抓持住按钮304并将按钮304沿着纵向轴线324远离基部306向上移动(例如,拉动)来使得可伸展套管300从折叠配置(图3A)移动到伸展配置(图3B)。如上面简要提及的那样,可伸展套管300包括锁定件,该锁定件又可以将可伸展套管300锁定或牢固地保持在该伸展配置下。在该实例中,锁定件是由掣子313和内表面315限定的基于摩擦的锁定件,其不仅有助于将同心环322保持在按钮304和基部306之间的适当位置下,而且当可伸展套管300处于伸展配置下时还分别摩擦地接合同心环322的最内侧和最外侧(在该实例中,分别为322C和322A)。在该实例中,同心环322也被成形为当可伸展套管300处于伸展配置下时摩擦地接合一个或两个相邻的同心环322,从而有助于将可伸展套管300锁定在伸展配置下。可伸展套管300的使用者可以释放或解除这些锁定特征,并且例如通过将按钮304沿着纵向轴线324向下朝向基部306移动(例如,推动,按压)而使可伸展套管300从伸展配置移动到折叠配置。当可伸展套管300从伸展配置移动到折叠配置时,同心环322嵌套在彼此内,其中最内侧的环322嵌套在下一个最内侧的环322内,依此类推,直到突起310定位成紧邻按钮304的内侧116或与按钮304的内侧116接触为止。
