For above-mentioned and other purpose, feature, advantage of the present utility model can be become apparent, below conjunction with figs. is elaborated to preferred embodiment of the present utility model, wherein:

Fig. 1 is the exploded perspective view that illustrates Foldable handhold device one embodiment of the present utility model; And

Fig. 2 A to Fig. 2 C illustrates the enforcement schematic diagram of the Foldable handhold device of Fig. 1 in different user modes respectively.

Embodiment

Below will clearly demonstrate spirit of the present utility model with accompanying drawing and detailed description, have in the technical field under any and know that usually the knowledgeable is after understanding preferred embodiment of the present utility model, when can be by the technology of the utility model institute teaching, change and modification, it does not break away from spirit of the present utility model and scope.

With reference to Fig. 1, it is the exploded perspective view that illustrates Foldable handhold device one embodiment of the present utility model.The utility model proposes a kind of Foldable handhold device 100 that does not use hinge as rotating shaft mechanism, in order more clearly to describe technical characterictic of the present utility model, omit at this with the irrelevant element of rotating mechanism in the Foldable handhold device 100, close chat earlier bright.

Foldable handhold device 100 comprises one first housing 110, one second housing 120, connect a bindiny mechanism 130 of first housing 110 and second housing 120 and be arranged at a shell fragment 140 on first housing 110.Wherein second housing 120 comprises an abutment face 122 and a curved surface 124, comprises a groove 126 on the curved surface 124.140 on shell fragment comprises a flange 142, and flange 142 is for being arranged on the end that shell fragment 140 contacts with second housing 120, and wherein when second housing 120 rotated with respect to first housing 110, the flange 142 of shell fragment 140 and second housing 120 kept in touch.Wherein, the material of shell fragment 140 can be elastomeric material, for example is the elastomeric material of metal or plastics and so on.

Bindiny mechanism 130 comprises a rotating shaft, and the bindiny mechanism 130 of rotating shaft can rotate second housing 120 with respect to first housing 110 for passing second housing 120.First housing 110 comprises at least one

reference column

112, and 140 on shell fragment comprises at least one location hole 144, and location hole 144 engages with reference column 112, so that shell fragment 140 is fixed on first housing 110.The abutment face 122 of second housing 120 links to each other with curved surface 124, and curved surface 124 comprises two protuberances 128, and groove 126 is for being arranged between two protuberances 128, and wherein protuberance 128 is the arcuation projection.

With reference to Fig. 2 A to Fig. 2 C, it is to illustrate the enforcement schematic diagram of the Foldable handhold device of Fig. 1 in different user modes respectively.In the state 200 of Fig. 2 A, Foldable handhold device 100 is in first position location, second housing 120 is for standing on first housing 110, this moment, the abutment face 122 of second housing 120 contacted with first housing 110, and first housing 110 can support second housing 120 that is in contact with it makes second housing 120 can not topple over to the direction of shell fragment 140.The flange 142 that is arranged at the shell fragment 140 on first housing 110 also contacts with the abutment face 122 of second housing 120, wherein the contact position of the shell fragment 140 and second housing 120 is the end of second housing 120 near first housing 110, be that the elastic force that shell fragment 140 is applied is the bottom that is applied to second housing 120, make second housing 120 when not having external force, be not easy to toppling over respect to the opposite side of shell fragment 140, thus, second housing 120 can relatively stand on first housing 110, makes Foldable handhold device 100 be in first position location.

Then, state 210 with reference to Fig. 2 B, the user of this moment can apply external force, to overcome the elastic force that shell fragment 140 applied and promote second housing 120, second housing 120 is outwards opened because of stressed, promptly second housing 120 rotates with respect to first housing 110 along axial rotary 150, and wherein shell fragment 140 is to be provided with perpendicular to axial rotary 150.Because second housing 120 comprises the curved surface 124 of arc, therefore, when pushing second housing 120 open, shell fragment 140 can produce the action of waving along the curved surface 124 of the arc of second housing 120.At this moment, second housing 120 with curved surface 124 can be considered the part of cam, and the amplitude that shell fragment 140 waves can be by the shape control of curved surface 124.

At last, state 220 with reference to Fig. 2 C, second housing 120 of this moment is unfolded along axial rotary 150, make Foldable handhold device 100 be in one second position location, the flange 142 on the shell fragment 140 that the curved surface 124 of second housing 120 slides then engages with groove 126 on second housing 120.The flange 142 of shell fragment 140 to limit the displacement of second housing 120, makes Foldable handhold device 100 remain on second position location for propping up the groove 126 of second housing 120.

Shown in Fig. 2 A to Fig. 2 C, second housing 120 can rotate between first position location and second position location with respect to first housing 110 along axial rotary 150.Second housing 120 closes angle between 0 degree is spent to 90 with respect to lifting of first housing 110.When second housing 120 when axial rotary 150 rotates with respect to first housing 110, the flange 142 and second housing 120 that are arranged at the shell fragment 140 on first housing 110 keep in touch, wherein when Foldable handhold device 100 is in first position location, flange 142 on the shell fragment 140 contacts with the abutment face 122 of second housing 120, then, the user can force in second housing 120, shell fragment 140 is slided along curved surface 124, when making Foldable handhold device 100 be in second position location, the flange 142 on the shell fragment 140 engages with the groove 126 of second housing 120.The user can force in second housing 120 again, makes the groove 126 that flange 142 on the shell fragment 140 breaks away from second housing 120, and slides along curved surface 124, makes Foldable handhold device 100 get back to first position location.

By above-mentioned the utility model preferred embodiment as can be known, application the utlity model has following advantage.Second housing that has curved surface in the utility model can be considered cam structure, needed pre-power when providing the Foldable handhold device folding with curved surface by the shell fragment and second housing, and contact the abutment face of second housing or the elastic force when engaging with groove by the flange on the shell fragment, make Foldable handhold device be positioned at first position location and second position location.

Though the utility model discloses as above with preferred embodiment; yet it is not in order to limit the utility model; anyly be familiar with this operator; in not breaking away from spirit and scope of the present utility model; when can doing various changes that are equal to or replacement, therefore protection range of the present utility model is when looking accompanying being as the criterion that the application's claim defined.
