The invention further relates to an electronic mobile device with the holding device according to the invention and a book with the holding device according to the invention and to a method for producing the holding device according to the invention.

Portable electronic devices, especially smartphones and tablet computers, are subject to ever flatter design and growing size, which reduces grip safety and handling. Thus, it is sometimes difficult for the operator to use the device without a support surface, while he must be able to hold the electronic device securely with one hand in order to operate it with the other hand. Especially with a fine motor restriction of the hands, it can easily happen that the smartphone or the tablet computer unintentionally slips and is damaged on impact.

The US 2005/0205623 A1 describes a holder made of a flat, sheet-like, flexible material, which is adhered to small devices with a front-side operable surface on the back as a holder. The holder works by sliding one or more fingers between the flexible material and the device, thereby holding the device by the hand. The flexible material is stretched repeatedly and goes back to its sheet-like position in the unused state. The recording is intended to help unrestrained hold the device, which may be a calculator, a mobile phone, an electronic organizer, a digital camera, a laser pointer or similar electronic device.

From the US 2012/0031937 A1 a device for holding an organizer is known, consisting of at least one finger-sized tube and at least one attachment mechanism. The hoses can be made of rigid material, flexible material or a combination of both materials. The tube may be attached to the organizer or to an organizer sleeve, individually or in combination with other tubes arranged in parallel. The attachment mechanism between the finger hose and the organizer or its shell may be formed by a suction button, by a Velcro, by a rotating device or by a connector.

The US 2011/0266316 A1 teaches a handle for a portable electronic device and a method of using it. The handle, which consists of a band formed as a loop, can be mounted on the back of the portable electronic devices. The handle almost holds a finger of one hand and it can be twisted 45 degrees to the horizontal.

The US 8,833,820 B1 describes a releasable padded handle for a left or right hand, which has a polygonal shape and in which the right or left hand can reach into it. The detachable handle is connected to a tablet computer or notebook via a web material connection system.

The US 8,480,144 B2 shows a decoupled holding system with four juxtaposed finger receiving openings for tablet-shaped electronic readers. The holding system consists of a backplane coupling and a coupling surface between the sinusoidal finger receiver.

The US 2012/0267402 A1 refers to a handle with two parallel loops made of an elastic material, in which a hand can be inserted.

The US 8,550,317 B2 describes a retractable harness integrated into a portable electronic device case into which a finger or a hand can be inserted.

In the US 2013/0114232 A1 For example, a dual connectable body retention system is shown which can be magnetically attached to the back of a portable electronic device.

The US 6,527,300 B1 shows a holding device for a book, which is attached to the book via U-shaped brackets. Comparable holding devices are from the US 7,237,756 B2 , from the US 6,672,621 B1 , from the US 5,417,456 , from the US 5,456,497 and from the US 5,421,616 known.

From the US 9,226,567 B2 is a holding aid for a tray-shaped hand-held device known which has a plurality of receiving openings for individual fingers of the hand.

The US 8,827,234 B2 shows a holding device for a hand-held object. The holding device is formed by a band of an elastomer, which is stretched on the object.

The object of the present invention, starting from the prior art, is to provide an improved holding device for holding a flat portable electronic device or a book with one hand. Furthermore, a mobile device and a book with the improved holding device and a method for producing the improved holding device are to be provided.

The above object is achieved by a holding device according to the appended claim 1, by a casing according to the appended independent claim 7, by a mobile device according to the attached independent claim 8, by a book according to the attached independent claim 9 and by a method according to the appended independent claim 10.

The holding device according to the invention is used for manually holding an electronic mobile device or a book. The electronic mobile device is a portable electronic device with computer functionality, which has an operable surface. The operable surface is in particular a touch screen of the mobile device. The mobile device is preferably formed by a smartphone, by a tablet computer or by an e-book reader. The book is a collection of printed, written, painted or blank sheets of paper that are bound with a binding and possibly also surrounded by a cover or an envelope. In that regard, the book may be formed by a book with a hard cover, a paperback book, a booklet, a notebook, or a stapler or folder.

The holding device according to the invention initially comprises a base for fastening the holding device on the mobile device or on the book; preferably for attachment to a back of the mobile device or on a back of the book. The back of the mobile device is, in particular, the side of the mobile device opposite the operable surface. Specifically, the back of the book is a solid or soft cover, or a stapler or file folder back. Furthermore, the holding device comprises a cover, which is arranged at a distance from the ground. The cover is arranged above the floor, wherein the cover may be offset or inclined relative to the floor or the cover and the floor may have different outlines aligned with each other. Furthermore, at least two intersecting passages are formed between the bottom of the holding device and the cover of the holding device. The bushings extend parallel to the ground. Each of the feedthroughs is designed to carry out at least one finger of the user of the mobile device or of the book. Since the bushings intersect, it is not necessarily possible to pass at least one of the fingers into the two bushings at the same time. Rather, the intersecting feedthroughs provide at least two options for passing the fingers, resulting in two different orientations that also occupy the fingers with respect to the mobile device versus the book during manual holding. Thus, for example, the mobile device may be held vertically or horizontally with respect to a main direction of extension of the operable surface. The at least two bushings preferably intersect in a plane that is preferably aligned parallel to the ground. Preferably, the bottom forms an underside of the bushings, while the cover preferably forms an upper side of the bushings. The at least two bushings intersect at an angle which is preferably at least 45 ° and more preferably between 80 ° and 100 °. The angle is particularly preferably 90 °.
