Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a hinge cover, and more particularly, to an adhesive automatic hinge cover for a folding portable device, which can continuously adhere the hinge cover to a portable device body by using the elastic force of an elastic portion.
Background
With the rapid development of information communication technology, the functions of wireless communication terminals (e.g., smartphones) have expanded to complex portable computer concepts such as internet search, games, e-mail, DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting ) and the like beyond the functions of mere communication and text transmission.
As the number of users of such smartphones increases exponentially, the markets of protective cases, shelving means, and accessories related to smartphones also increase substantially simultaneously, and research and development on such cases are also actively underway.
The smart phone case is used to protect the liquid crystal or appearance of the smart phone. In general, a smart phone case is formed by injection molding plastic to wrap the back of the smart phone. In the case of a wallet-shaped case using leather or artificial leather, the case is used by being inserted into or simply fixed in a wallet so as to house a smart phone in the same manner as a normal card.
Recently, various folding portable devices (e.g., galaxy Z Flip smartphones) have been proposed that improve portability and display expandability. However, the folding smart phone has a folding portion (hinge) in the device, and thus cannot employ the existing protective case.
Therefore, although a method of employing a separate type protective case that protects only a portion other than the folded portion of the device is being used, there are problems in that the folded portion of the device cannot be protected, and unexpected detachment of the case from the device is easily caused due to the separate type structure.
The foregoing background description is for the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention and is not admitted to be prior art by those of ordinary skill in the art.

The terms and words used in the present specification and patent claims should not be interpreted in a normal or dictionary sense, but should be interpreted as meaning and concept conforming to the technical idea of the present invention in accordance with the principle that the inventor can properly define the term concept in order to describe his own invention in an optimal manner.
Fig. 1 is a view showing a state in which an attachment-type automatic hinge protection cover for a folder-type portable device according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted to a portable device main body, fig. 2 is a view showing an overall state of the attachment-type automatic hinge protection cover for a folder-type portable device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 3 is a view showing a state in which components of the attachment-type automatic hinge protection cover for a folder-type portable device according to an embodiment of the present invention are disassembled.
As shown in the drawing, the attached automatic hinge cover for a portable device according to the present invention is composed of a cover base 100, a hinge cover 200, and an elastic part 400, and is directly attached to a portable device body 10 or attached to a cover case 20 in an adhesive manner for use.
The portable device body 10 includes a commonly used smart phone, a function type mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an MP3, or a game machine, but if the definition is satisfied, the form or name thereof is not limited. The portable device body 10 can be folded or unfolded using the host hinge 11.
The protective case 20 is divided into a front case 21 and a rear case 22, the front case 21 is attached to the portable device body 10 disposed on the front side when folded, and the rear case 22 is attached to the portable device body 10 disposed on the rear side when folded.
The front case 21 and the rear case 22 are formed by injection molding a common plastic material, and may wrap around the rear surface of the portable device body 10. The front case 21 and the rear case 22 may be made of a transparent material or may be made of an additive color.
The cover base 100 is attached to the portable device body 10 disposed on the rear side when folded, or to the rear case 22 by a double-sided tape or the like. That is, the cover base 100 is fixed to the portable device body 10 or the protective case 20.
The hinge cover 200 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the cover base 100 with a fixing pin 300 as a medium. The cover base 100 and the hinge cover 200 may be injection molded from the same material as the protective case 20, or may be variously formed from different materials.
The elastic part 400 is installed between the cover base 100 and the hinge protection cover 200. In consideration of the structure of the portable device body 10, the elastic force required for the hinge cover 200, and the like, one or more of the above elastic parts 400 may be employed.
The hinge cover 200 is rotated (counterclockwise in fig. 1) by the elastic force provided by the elastic portion 400 and is brought into close contact with the body hinge 11. That is, the hinge cover 200 protects the body hinge 11 of the portable device body 10 from being exposed to the outside.
In this way, the present invention protects the body hinge 11 through the hinge protection cover 200 at all times so that the body hinge 11 is not exposed to the outside, thereby protecting the body hinge 11 from scratches or impacts.
Fig. 4 is a view showing a state of a cover base according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the front, fig. 5 is a view showing a state of a cover base according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the rear, fig. 6 is a view showing a state of a hinge protection cover according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 7 is a view showing a state of an elastic portion according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As described above, the cover base 100 according to the present invention is directly attached to the portable device body 10 or attached to the cover case 20 by a double-sided tape or the like, and supports the hinge cover 200 so that the hinge cover 200 can rotate.
The cover base 100 is formed of an adhesive surface 110 attached to the portable device body 10 or the protective case 20, and a decorative surface 120 formed on the opposite side of the adhesive surface 110. The adhesive surface 110 is formed as a flat surface, and the decorative surface 120 is formed variously according to circumstances.
On the upper side of the decorative surface 120, the base body mounting portion 130 is formed to protrude toward the outer side of the decorative surface 120. A base fixing portion 131 is penetratingly formed at an upper end of the base mounting portion 130, and the hinge protection cover 200 is rotatably connected to such a base fixing portion 131.
The fixing insertion holes 132 are formed at both sides of the inside of the base fixing portion 131, and both ends of the fixing pin 300 are coupled to the two fixing insertion holes 132, so that the fixing pin 300 is installed to traverse the base fixing portion 131. The hinge protection cover 200 is rotatably mounted to the mounted fixing pin 300.
The width of the base fixing portion 131 is formed to be the same as the width of the cover mounting portion 220 of the hinge protection cover 200 described later, or to be slightly larger than the width of the cover mounting portion 220. That is, the cover mounting part 220 can rotate inside the base fixing part 131.
In addition, a substrate insertion groove 140 is concavely formed at an inner side surface of the substrate fixing part 131 so that one end of the elastic part 400 can be inserted. The base insertion groove 140 is disposed to traverse the base fixing portion 131, like the fixing pin 300.
Since one end of the elastic portion 400 is inserted into the base insertion groove 140 of the fixed cover base 100, the elastic portion 400 can apply elastic force to the hinge protection cover 200 in a state where one end is fixed in the cover base 100.
As shown in fig. 6, the hinge protection cover 200 includes: a cover main body 210 formed with a hinge accommodating portion 211 so that the main body hinge 11 can be accommodated inside; and a cover attachment portion 220 formed to protrude inward from an inner side (front side in the illustrated embodiment) end portion of the cover main body 210, and through which a cover fixing portion 223 is formed.
When the portable device body 10 is folded, the cover base 100 and the hinge protection cover 200 are disposed at 90 degrees, and the body hinge 11 may be accommodated inside the hinge accommodating part 211 to be protected from external impact or damage.
The recess is formed with an elastic contact portion 212 so as to be able to contact with an upper portion of the elastic portion 400 of the cover main body 210. When the portable device body 10 is folded, the elastic contact portion 212 contacts with the upper portion of the elastic portion 400, so that the elastic portion 400 can be stably supported.
The cover mounting part 220 includes: a pair of cover protrusions 221 formed protruding inward from the end of the cover main body 210; a cover fixing portion 223 formed to penetrate between the pair of cover protrusions 221; and a cover closing portion 224 which is disposed between the pair of cover protrusions 221 and extends from the cover main body 210 in an orthogonal manner to close a portion of the cover fixing portion 223.
The pair of cover protrusions 221 are inserted into the base fixing portion 131, and the elastic portion 400 is installed between the pair of cover protrusions 221. The outer side width of the pair of cover protrusions 221 is formed to be the same as the width of the base fixing portion 131 or relatively slightly smaller than the width of the base fixing portion 131.
The pair of cover protrusions 221 are perforated with rotation holes 222, respectively, and the fixing pin 300 is connected to the two rotation holes 222. That is, the fixing pin 300 penetrates through an elastic center portion 410 and two rotation holes 222, both ends of which are coupled to the fixing insertion hole 132. The fixing pin 300 is installed to traverse the cover fixing portion 223.
The cover closing portion 224 is disposed between the pair of cover protrusions 221, and prevents the elastic portion 400 from being exposed to the outside. Since the cover closing portion 224 closes the rear of the elastic portion 400, foreign substances and the like can be prevented from entering the elastic portion 400.
A cover insertion groove 230 is concavely formed at an inner side surface of the cover fixing part 223 so that the other end of the elastic part 400 can be inserted. The cover insertion groove 230 is disposed so as to traverse the cover fixing portion 223, like the fixing pin 300.
Since the other end of the elastic portion 400 is inserted into the cover insertion groove 230, the elastic restoring force of the elastic portion 400 can be transmitted to the hinge cover 200, and the hinge cover 200 can be rotated to be closely attached to the main body hinge 11.
As shown in fig. 7, the elastic part 400 includes: an elastic center portion 410 wound a plurality of times in a circular shape; a base extension 420 extending from one end of the elastic center portion 410 toward the outside; a base bending part 430 which is bent and extended in an orthogonal manner from an end of the base extending part 420; a cover extension 440 extending long from the other end of the elastic center portion 410 toward the outside; and a cover bending part 450 bending and extending in an orthogonal manner from an end of the cover extension part 440.
The elastic center part 410 wraps the outside of the fixing pin 300, the base extension part 420 extends toward the lower part of the elastic center part 410 and enters toward the cover base 100, and the cover extension part 440 extends toward the upper part of the elastic center part 410 and enters toward the hinge cover 200.
The base bending portion 430 extends perpendicularly to the base extension portion 420 and is disposed parallel to the elastic central portion 410, and the cover bending portion 450 extends perpendicularly to the cover extension portion 440 and is disposed parallel to the elastic central portion 410.
The base bent portion 430 is inserted into the base insertion groove 140, and the cover bent portion 450 is inserted into the cover insertion groove 230. Since the base bent portion 430 and the cover bent portion 450 are inserted, the hinge protection cover 200 can be relatively rotated with respect to the cover base 100 by the elastic force provided from the elastic portion 400.
Fig. 8 is a view showing a state in which an elastic portion according to an embodiment of the present invention is seen from a side, fig. 9 is a sectional view showing a hinge protection cover enlarged when a portable device body according to an embodiment of the present invention is folded, fig. 10 is a sectional view showing a state in which a hinge protection cover is enlarged when a portable device body according to an embodiment of the present invention is unfolded, and fig. 11 is a view showing a state in which a portable device body according to an embodiment of the present invention is sequentially unfolded.
Fig. 8 (a) is a view showing a state before the elastic part 400 according to the present invention is mounted between the cover base 100 and the hinge protection cover 200, and fig. 8 (b) is a view showing a state after the elastic part 400 according to the present invention is mounted between the cover base 100 and the hinge protection cover 200.
As shown in the drawing, before the elastic portion 400 is installed between the cover base 100 and the hinge cover 200, the cover extension 440 forms an angle θ of 90 degrees or more and less than 180 degrees in the counterclockwise direction with reference to the base extension 420.
After the elastic portion 400 is installed between the cover base 100 and the hinge cover 200, the cover extension 440 forms an angle θ of 180 degrees or more and less than 270 degrees in the counterclockwise direction with reference to the base extension 420.
The angle θ between the base extension 420 and the cover extension 440 is larger after the elastic portion 400 is mounted between the cover base 100 and the hinge protection cover 200 than before the elastic portion 400 is mounted between the cover base 100 and the hinge protection cover 200, and therefore an elastic restoring force is generated in which the cover extension 440 is to be rotated in the direction of the base extension 420 (in which the angle is to be smaller), and the hinge protection cover 200 is thereby rotated in the direction of the main body hinge 11 (forward in the illustrated embodiment).
As shown in fig. 9, when the portable device body 10 is folded, the elastic portion 400 applies elastic force so that the hinge cover 200 can rotate in the direction of the portable device body 10 (indicated by an arrow in the drawing), and the end of the hinge cover 200 is abutted against the end of the portable device body 10. The main body hinge 11 is accommodated in a hinge accommodating portion 211 of the hinge cover 200.
When the cover base 100 and the hinge protection cover 200 form an angle of 90 degrees due to the portable device body 10 being completely folded, the cover extension 440 forms an angle θ of 180 degrees in the counterclockwise direction with reference to the base extension 420. That is, the cover extension 440 and the base extension 420 are arranged on the same line in the vertical direction.
As described above, since the cover extension 440 and the base extension 420 form the angle θ smaller than 180 degrees before being assembled, the elastic portion 400 continuously provides the elastic force to rotate the hinge cover 200 in the forward direction even when the portable device body 10 is folded.
As such, in the present invention, when the portable device body 10 is folded, since the hinge cover 200 protects the body hinge 11 so that the body hinge 11 is not exposed to the outside, it is possible to prevent the body hinge 11 from being damaged by an external impact.
In addition, in a state where the foldable portable device body 10 is folded, the hinge cover 200 can prevent the opening phenomenon of the portable device body 10 by the elastic force of the elastic portion 400, and thus can prevent the opening phenomenon of the portable device body 10 unlike the user's intention.
As shown in fig. 10, when the portable device body 10 is unfolded, the elastic portion 400 applies an elastic force so that the hinge cover 200 can be pushed in the direction of the portable device body 10 (indicated by an arrow in the drawing), and the hinge cover 200 maintains a state of contact with the portable device body 10. The main body hinge 11 is accommodated inside the portable device main body 10.
That is, the force pressing the hinge cover 200 continuously acts by the elastic force of the elastic portion 400, so that the tendency of the hinge cover 200 to be automatically closed can be continuously maintained even when the folding portable device main body 10 is opened.
When the cover base 100 and the hinge cover 200 are formed at an angle of 180 degrees up and down due to the complete deployment of the portable device body 10, the cover extension 440 is formed at an angle θ of 270 degrees in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the base extension 420. That is, the cover extension 440 is disposed at a position perpendicular to the rear side of the base extension 420.
Further, as shown in fig. 11, even in a state where the portable device body 10 is partially folded at an acute angle, a right angle, an obtuse angle, or the like, the hinge protection cover 200 can be closely attached to the body hinge 11 direction by the elastic force of the elastic portion 400, and can always protect the body hinge 11.
Fig. 11 (a) is a view showing a state in which the portable device body 10 is unfolded at an acute angle, fig. 11 (b) is a view showing a state in which the portable device body 10 is unfolded at a right angle, and fig. 11 (c) is a view showing a state in which the portable device body 10 is unfolded at an obtuse angle.
Fig. 12 is a view exemplarily showing various modifications of an attachment-type automatic hinge protection cover for a folder-type portable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in the drawing, the area and shape of the cover base 100 according to the present invention can be variously adjusted according to the degree of use, and various structures (ornaments, etc.) can be additionally mounted on the cover base 100.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 12 (a), a wireless charger 30 using a magnet such as a magnetic contact power interface (MagSafe) may be attached to the decorative surface 120 of the cover base 100. At this time, the cover base 100 is formed to have a size enough to completely cover the rear case 22 of the portable device body 10 or the protective case 20.
As shown in fig. 12 (b), a string 31 of a fabric material may be bonded to the decorative surface 120 of the cover base 100. When using the portable device body 10, the user can hang such a hanging rope 31 on a finger. At this time, the cover base 100 is formed to cover only a part of the upper portion of the rear case 22 of the portable device body 10 or the protective case 20.
As shown in fig. 12 (c), a ring 32 of a metal material may be bonded to the decorative surface 120 of the cover base 100. When using the portable device body 10, the user can hang such a ring 32 on a finger, and the ring 32 can also be used as a stand of the portable device body 10. At this time, the cover base 100 is formed to cover only a part of the upper portion of the rear case 22 of the portable device body 10 or the protective case 20.
The present invention described above is not limited to the foregoing embodiments and drawings, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various substitutions, modifications and alterations can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
