Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'accrochage d'un accessoire électronique portable, tel qu'un téléphone cellulaire, une oreillette, un assistant personnel, ou un lecteur multimédia.The present invention relates to a device for attaching a portable electronic accessory, such as a cellular phone, a headset, a personal assistant, or a multimedia player.

Actuellement, ces accessoires, notamment les téléphones cellulaires ou les lecteurs multimédia, ne sont pas pourvus de moyens permettant de les accrocher correctement à la ceinture d'un vêtement, à une lanière de sac à main, ou au cou d'un utilisateur.Currently, these accessories, including cell phones or media players, are not provided with means to properly hang on the belt of a garment, a purse strap, or the neck of a user.

Cependant, certains téléphones cellulaires sont pourvus d'une encoche permettant d'y passer un cordon d'accrochage, mais ces cordons sont difficiles à introduire dans l'encoche, fragiles et peu esthétiques.However, some cell phones are provided with a notch for passing a drawstring, but these cords are difficult to introduce into the notch, fragile and unsightly.

Un but de la présente invention est donc de résoudre le problème cité précédemment à l'aide d'une solution simple à mettre en oeuvre, fiable et peu coûteuse.An object of the present invention is therefore to solve the problem mentioned above with a solution that is simple to implement, reliable and inexpensive.

Ainsi, la présente invention a pour objet un ensemble constitué par :

  • un accessoire électronique portable, tel qu'un téléphone cellulaire, une oreillette, un assistant personnel, ou un lecteur multimédia, et
  • un dispositif d'attache comportant un corps principal formant une partie male coopérant avec un orifice correspondant ménagé dans l'accessoire électronique et formant une partie femelle, et un organe d'accrochage destiné notamment à accrocher l'accessoire électronique par exemple au cou d'un utilisateur, à une ceinture de vêtement ou à une sangle de sac,
caractérisé en ce que l'un du corps principal et de l'orifice comporte un aimant tandis que l'autre comporte un élément ferromagnétique pour former une liaison magnétique amovible entre l'accessoire électronique portable et le dispositif d'attache lorsque le corps principal est inséré dans l'orifice.Thus, the subject of the present invention is an assembly consisting of:
  • a portable electronic accessory, such as a cell phone, a headset, a personal assistant, or a media player, and
  • a fastening device comprising a main body forming a male part cooperating with a corresponding orifice formed in the electronic accessory and forming a female part, and a fastening member intended in particular to hang the electronic accessory for example to the neck of a user, to a garment belt or a bag strap,
characterized in that one of the main body and the orifice comprises a magnet while the other has a ferromagnetic element to form a removable magnetic connection between the portable electronic accessory and the attachment device when the main body is inserted into the hole.

Selon des modes de réalisation préférés, l'ensemble selon la présente invention peut comprendre en outre l'une au moins des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • le corps principal comporte un premier aimant et l'orifice est entouré localement d'un second aimant disposé en regard du premier aimant pour former un couplage magnétique lorsque le corps principal est positionné dans l'orifice ;
  • l'accessoire électronique portable présente une forme de parallélépipède et l'orifice s'étend parallèlement à de ses bords de sorte qu'une fois l'accessoire suspendu au bout de l'organe d'accrochage, par exemple au cou d'un utilisateur, l'axe d'allongement de l'orifice est incliné par rapport à la verticale ;
  • l'organe d'accrochage est une cordelette souple ;
  • l'accessoire électronique portable comporte un capteur magnétique destiné notamment à détecter la présence du corps principal à l'intérieur de l'orifice ;
  • le corps principal est tubulaire et l'orifice est cylindrique ;
  • le corps principal est un connecteur électrique permettant de relier l'accessoire électronique portable à un chargeur de courant et/ou de transférer/recevoir des données ; et
  • le connecteur est de type « jack ».
According to preferred embodiments, the assembly according to the present invention may furthermore comprise at least one of the following characteristics:
  • the main body comprises a first magnet and the orifice is locally surrounded by a second magnet disposed opposite the first magnet for forming a magnetic coupling when the main body is positioned in the orifice;
  • the portable electronic accessory has a parallelepipedal shape and the orifice extends parallel to its edges so that once the accessory suspended at the end of the fastening member, for example the neck of a user the axis of elongation of the orifice is inclined relative to the vertical;
  • the attachment member is a flexible cord;

  • the main body is tubular and the orifice is cylindrical;
  • the main body is an electrical connector for connecting the portable electronic accessory to a power charger and / or transferring / receiving data; and
  • the connector is of type "jack".

L'invention va maintenant être décrite plus en détail en référence à des modes de réalisation particuliers donnés à titre d'illustration uniquement et représentés sur les figures annexées dans lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de l'ensemble conforme à la présente invention dans son état non assemblé ; et
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective de l'ensemble conforme à la présente invention dans son état assemblé.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to particular embodiments given by way of illustration only and represented in the appended figures in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of the assembly according to the present invention in its unassembled state; and
  • the figure 2 is a perspective view of the assembly according to the present invention in its assembled state.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un ensemble 1 conforme à la présente invention et comportant un accessoire portable de communication téléphonique sans fil 10, tel qu'un lecteur multimédia, et un dispositif d'attache 20.The Figures 1 and 2 represent a set 1 according to the present invention and comprising a portable wireless telephone communication accessory 10, such as a multimedia player, and an attachment device 20.

Sur la figure 1, le dispositif d'attache 20 est déconnecté et éloigné du lecteur multimédia 10. Ce dispositif d'attache 20 comporte un corps principal tubulaire 22 formant une partie male coopérant avec un orifice cylindrique correspondant 12 ménagé dans le lecteur multimédia 10 et formant une partie femelle. Le dispositif d'accrochage 20 comporte également un organe d'accrochage 24, tel qu'une cordelette souple, destiné à accrocher le lecteur multimédia 10 par exemple au cou d'un utilisateur, à une ceinture de vêtement ou à une sangle de sac (non représentés).On the figure 1 , the attachment device 20 is disconnected and remote from the multimedia player 10. This attachment device 20 comprises a tubular main body 22 forming a male part cooperating with a corresponding cylindrical orifice 12 formed in the multimedia player 10 and forming a female part . The attachment device 20 also comprises a hooking member 24, such as a flexible cord, for hanging the media player 10 for example the neck of a user, a belt garment or a bag strap (not shown).

Selon la présente invention, le corps principal 22 comporte un premier aimant 25 tandis que l'orifice 12 est entouré localement d'un second aimant 15 disposé en regard du premier aimant 25 pour former un couplage magnétique amovible lorsque le corps principal 22 est positionné dans l'orifice 14 (figure 2).According to the present invention, the main body 22 includes a first magnet 25 while the orifice 12 is locally surrounded by a second magnet 15 disposed facing the first magnet 25 to form a removable magnetic coupling when the main body 22 is positioned in the orifice 14 ( figure 2 ).

Avantageusement, le lecteur multimédia 10 présente une forme de parallélépipède et l'orifice 12 s'étend parallèlement à de ses bords 11, de sorte qu'une fois ledit lecteur multimédia 10 suspendu au bout de l'organe d'accrochage 24, par exemple au cou d'un utilisateur, l'axe d'allongement XX de l'orifice 12 est incliné par rapport à la verticale (flèche V).Advantageously, the multimedia player 10 has a parallelepipedal shape and the orifice 12 extends parallel to its edges 11, so that once said multimedia player 10 suspended at the end of the fastening member 24, for example at the neck of a user, the extension axis XX of the orifice 12 is inclined relative to the vertical (arrow V).

Ainsi, grâce à la position et l'inclinaison de son orifice 12, le lecteur multimédia 10 est fermement accroché au dispositif d'attache 20. En effet, la direction de la force de traction exercée par le poids du lecteur multimédia 10 sur le corps principal 22 est naturellement verticale, orientée de haut en bas. Or, pour désengager au mieux le corps principal 22 de l'orifice 12, il faudrait tirer axialement le corps principal 12 le long de son axe XX'. Le fait que cette force de traction s'exerce selon un axe (V) incliné par rapport à l'axe XX' provoque un frottement entre le corps principal 22 et l'orifice 12, auquel s'ajoute la force magnétique induite par les aimants 15 et 25.Thus, thanks to the position and inclination of its orifice 12, the media player 10 is firmly attached to the attachment device 20. In fact, the direction of the tensile force exerted by the weight of the multimedia player 10 on the body main 22 is naturally vertical, oriented from top to bottom. However, to best disengage the main body 22 of the orifice 12, it would draw axially the main body 12 along its axis XX '. The fact that this pulling force is exerted along an axis (V) inclined relative to the axis XX 'causes friction between the main body 22 and the orifice 12, to which is added the magnetic force induced by the magnets 15 and 25.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, le lecteur multimédia comporte un capteur magnétique 16 destiné notamment à détecter la présence du corps principal 22 à l'intérieur de l'orifice 12.According to a particular embodiment, the multimedia player comprises a magnetic sensor 16 intended in particular to detect the presence of the main body 22 inside the orifice 12.

De manière préférée, le corps principal 22 est un connecteur électrique permettant de relier le lecteur multimédia à un chargeur de courant et/ou de transférer/recevoir des données (musique, vidéo, texte). Ce connecteur peut prendre la forme d'une prise « jack » de type connu.Preferably, the main body 22 is an electrical connector for connecting the media player to a power charger and / or transferring / receiving data (music, video, text). This connector can take the form of a "jack" jack of known type.

Il va de soi que la description détaillée de l'objet de l'Invention, donnée uniquement à titre d'illustration, ne constitue en aucune manière une limitation, les équivalents techniques étant également compris dans le champ de la présente invention.It goes without saying that the detailed description of the subject of the invention, given solely by way of illustration, does not constitute in no way a limitation, the technical equivalents also being within the scope of the present invention.

Ainsi, le lecteur multimédia 10 peut être remplacé par un téléphone cellulaire, une oreillette, un agenda électronique, un assistant personnel ou tout autre accessoire électronique portable similaire.Thus, the media player 10 can be replaced by a cellular phone, a headset, an electronic organizer, a personal assistant or any other similar portable electronic accessory.

La cordelette souple 24 peut être remplacée par un porte-clés, une sangle, un câble.The flexible cord 24 can be replaced by a key ring, a strap, a cable.

L'un des aimant 15 ou 25 peut être remplacé par un élément ferromagnétique.One of the magnets 15 or 25 may be replaced by a ferromagnetic element.
