Description

Boîtier de protection pour appareil électronique portable  Protective housing for portable electronic device
L'invention concerne les accessoires pour appareils électroniques portables de type tablette tactile mais se rapporte, de manière générale, aux équipements de tout autre type d'appareil électronique portable, de type téléphone portable, appareil de géolocalisation, baladeur numérique, assistant personnel, console de jeu,.... The invention relates to accessories for portable electronic devices of the touch pad type but generally relates to the equipment of any other type of portable electronic device, such as mobile phone, geolocation device, digital music player, personal assistant, console of play, ....
Comme on le sait, ce type d'appareil, en particulier les tablettes tactiles, comporte un boîtier dans lequel est logé l'ensemble de l'électronique de l'appareil et, en façade, un écran de visualisation. Dans les tablettes tactiles, l'écran de visualisation occupe la majeure partie de la face frontale de l'appareil.  As is known, this type of device, in particular the touch pads, comprises a housing in which is housed all the electronics of the device and, in front, a display screen. In touch tablets, the display screen occupies most of the front of the device.
Des équipementiers proposent des accessoires permettant de compléter l'appareil tel qu'il est commercialisé. De nombreux types d'accessoires sont proposés pour, notamment, protéger l'appareil contre des chocs ou rayures ou pour le maintenir en position dressée d'utilisation.  OEMs offer accessories to complete the device as it is marketed. Many types of accessories are available to, for example, protect the device against shocks or scratches or to keep it in upright use.
II a été toutefois constaté que la manipulation des tablettes tactiles peut être malaisée dans la mesure où, en raison de leurs dimensions relativement grandes, il n'est pas possible de les maintenir efficacement d'une seule main, sans occulter une partie de l'écran.  However, it has been found that the manipulation of the touch pads can be difficult because, due to their relatively large dimensions, it is not possible to hold them efficiently with one hand, without obscuring part of the screen.
Le but de l'invention est donc de pallier cet inconvénient et de proposer un boîtier de protection d'un appareil électronique portable, de type tablette tactile, comprenant une coque délimitant un logement de réception de l'appareil électronique.  The object of the invention is therefore to overcome this drawback and to provide a protective housing of a portable electronic device, of the touch pad type, comprising a shell defining a receiving housing of the electronic device.
Ce boîtier comporte en outre une poignée articulée sur une face arrière de la coque entre une position rabattue dans laquelle elle est plaquée contre la coque et une position active déployée permettant une préhension du boîtier.  This housing further comprises a handle articulated on a rear face of the shell between a folded position in which it is pressed against the shell and an extended active position for gripping the housing.
Par exemple, la poignée a une forme générale d'arceau. Dans un mode de réalisation, la longueur de l'arceau est telle qu'en position totalement déployée, la poignée s'étend au-delà du périmètre de la coque. For example, the handle has a general shape of an arch. In one embodiment, the length of the hoop is such that in fully deployed position, the handle extends beyond the perimeter of the hull.
La poignée peut comporter des inserts en matériau antiglissement.  The handle may comprise inserts of non-slip material.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, elle peut être montée sur un support pivotant.  In an advantageous embodiment, it can be mounted on a pivoting support.
Par exemple, le support comporte une empreinte de maintien de la poignée en position rabattue.  For example, the support has a fingerprint holding the handle in the folded position.
La poignée peut en outre constituer une béquille apte à supporter l'appareil dans une position d'utilisation inclinée.  The handle may further constitute a stand adapted to support the device in an inclined use position.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique du boîtier, celui-ci est associé à une embase pourvue d'un pied et d'un logement de réception de la poignée déployée.  According to yet another feature of the housing, it is associated with a base provided with a foot and a receiving housing of the deployed handle.
D'autres buts, caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description suivante, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :  Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description, given solely by way of nonlimiting example, and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
la figure 1 est une vue arrière d'un boîtier de protection conforme à l'invention ;  Figure 1 is a rear view of a protective housing according to the invention;
la figure 2 montre le boîtier de la figure 1 en position d'utilisation ;  Figure 2 shows the housing of Figure 1 in the use position;
la figure 3 montre le boîtier de la figure 1 selon une autre position d'utilisation ;  Figure 3 shows the housing of Figure 1 according to another use position;

la figure 5 illustre un autre exemple d'utilisation du boîtier de la figure 1 ;  Figure 5 illustrates another example of use of the housing of Figure 1;
la figure 6 est une variante d'utilisation du boîtier de la figure 1 ;  Figure 6 is an alternative use of the housing of Figure 1;
la figure 7 illustre encore un autre mode d'utilisation du boîtier de la figure 1 ; et  Figure 7 illustrates yet another mode of use of the housing of Figure 1; and
les figures 8 et 9 montrent le boîtier de protection monté sur une embase. Sur la figure 1, on a représenté un boîtier de protection d'une tablette tactile, désigné par la référence numérique générale 1. Figures 8 and 9 show the protective housing mounted on a base. In Figure 1, there is shown a protective case of a touch pad, designated by the general reference numeral 1.
Alors que dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, ce boîtier est destiné à recevoir une tablette tactile T, on notera que l'on ne sort pas du cadre de l'invention lorsqu'un tel boîtier est destiné à recevoir tout autre type d'appareil électronique portable, de type téléphone portable, baladeur numérique, appareil de géolocalisation, assistant personnel (PDA), console de jeu... et notamment les appareils portables dont les dimensions ne leur permettent pas d'être aisément maintenus d'une main.  While in the embodiment shown, this housing is intended to receive a touch pad T, note that it is not beyond the scope of the invention when such a housing is intended to receive any other type of portable electronic device, cell phone type, digital walkman, geolocation device, personal assistant (PDA), game console ... and in particular portable devices whose dimensions do not allow them to be easily held with one hand.
Comme on le voit, le boîtier 1 comprend essentiellement une coque 2 comprenant ici une face arrière 3 essentiellement fermée tout en étant pourvue d'un ensemble d'ouvertures permettant l'accès à des éléments fonctionnels de la tablette, et une face opposée ouverte rendant accessible l'écran de la tablette.  As can be seen, the housing 1 essentially comprises a shell 2 here comprising a substantially closed rear face 3 while being provided with a set of openings allowing access to functional elements of the tablet, and an opposite open face making accessible the tablet screen.
La coque 2 est de préférence réalisée en matériau rigide, par exemple en matière plastique ou en métal tel que de l'aluminium, afin d'assurer une protection efficace de la tablette contre des chocs ou rayures.  The shell 2 is preferably made of rigid material, for example plastic or metal such as aluminum, to ensure effective protection of the tablet against shocks or scratches.
Comme on le voit sur les figures 1 à 3, le boîtier 1 est par ailleurs doté d'une poignée 4 articulée sur un support 5 rapporté sur la coque 2.  As can be seen in FIGS. 1 to 3, the casing 1 is also provided with a handle 4 articulated on a support 5 attached to the shell 2.
La poignée 4 a ici une forme générale d'arceau, c'est-à-dire d'une ellipse tronquée, et est pourvue de deux pattes telle que 6 permettant son articulation sur le support 5.  The handle 4 here has a general shape of a bow, that is to say a truncated ellipse, and is provided with two tabs such as 6 allowing its articulation on the support 5.
Par exemple, la poignée 4 est réalisée à partir du même matériau que la coque 2 mais peut être dotée d'inserts, tels que 7, en matériau anti-glissement, par exemple en caoutchouc, afin d'améliorer la préhension ou le confort de la poignée ou de permettre, comme cela sera décrit en détail par la suite, un appui du boîtier sur la poignée 4, sans risque de glissement.  For example, the handle 4 is made from the same material as the shell 2 but may be provided with inserts, such as 7, anti-slip material, for example rubber, to improve the grip or comfort of the handle or allow, as will be described in detail later, a support of the housing on the handle 4, without risk of slippage.
Comme on le voit également sur les figures 1 et 2, la poignée 4 est articulée sur la coque 2 et est susceptible d'adopter une première position, visible sur la figure 1, dans laquelle elle est plaquée contre la face arrière 3 , et une position déployée, vi sible sur les figures 2 et 3 , dans laquelle la main d 'un utili sateur peut être insérée dans le passage délimité par la poignée 4 pour permettre une préhension ai sée et d' une seule main de la tablette placée dans la coque 2. As can also be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the handle 4 is articulated on the shell 2 and is capable of adopting a first position, visible in FIG. 1, in which it is pressed against the rear face 3, and an extended position, vi sible in Figures 2 and 3, wherein the hand of a user can be inserted into the passage defined by the handle 4 to allow gripping ai sée and one-handed of the tablet placed in the shell 2.
En effet, dans cette position, la tablette peut être fermement sai sie par l ' utili sateur, qui peut alors manipuler la tabl ette par sa main restée libre.  Indeed, in this position, the tablet can be firmly sieged by the user, who can then manipulate the tabl e by his hand remained free.
On notera que le support 5 est monté pivotant autour d' un axe de pivotement 7 de sorte que la poignée 4 peut être orientée dans diverses positions angulaires, selon une plage angulaire de 360° , afin de pouvoir utiliser la tablette selon diverses orientations .  Note that the support 5 is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 7 so that the handle 4 can be oriented in various angular positions, in an angular range of 360 °, in order to use the tablet in various orientations.
En outre, grâce au montage pivotant du support, la poignée peut être utili sée tant par un droitier que par un gaucher.  In addition, thanks to the pivoting mounting of the support, the handle can be used by both right-handed and left-handed users.
En se référant aux figures 4 à 6, la poignée 4 constitue également, en position déployée, une béquille sur laquelle peut reposer la tablette tactile, les inserts en matériau anti-gli ssement évitant à l a tablette de gli sser lorsqu' elle est manipulée.  Referring to Figures 4 to 6, the handle 4 is also in the deployed position, a stand on which can rest the touch pad, inserts anti-slip material preventing the tablet from sliding when it is manipulated.
Dans ce cas, les deux mains de l ' utili sateur sont libres.  In this case, both hands of the user are free.
Comme le montrent les figures 5 et 6, en modifiant l ' angle de déploiement de la poignée ou son sens d' utili sation, il est possible de faire reposer la tablette tactile en appui sur la butée dans diverses positions, soit horizontalement, soit verticalement.  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, by modifying the deployment angle of the handle or its direction of use, it is possible to rest the tactile tablet resting on the stop in various positions, either horizontally or vertically. .
On notera par ailleurs que la poignée présente une longueur telle que, en position totalement déployée, elle s' étend au-delà de la périphérie de la coque 2, de sorte que la poignée constitue alors un support permettant un accrochage de la tablette sur un crochet par exemple fixé à un mur.  Note also that the handle has a length such that, in the fully deployed position, it extends beyond the periphery of the shell 2, so that the handle then constitutes a support for a hooking of the tablet on a hook for example attached to a wall.
Comme le montre la figure 5 , le support 5 est doté d' une empreinte périphérique 8 avantageusement recouverte d'un matériau anti-gli ssement, par exemple du caoutchouc, dans laquelle vient s' insérer la poignée en position rabattue afin d' éviter tout ri sque de déploiement intempestif de la poignée, en particulier lors de son transport. En se référant enfin à la figure 8, on voit que le boîtier de protection est associé à une embase 9 comportant un pied 10 dont la surface est suffisamment importante de manière à procurer une bonne stabilité au support et à partir duquel se dresse un logement 11 de réception de la poignée. As shown in FIG. 5, the support 5 is provided with a peripheral imprint 8 advantageously covered with an anti-slip material, for example rubber, in which the handle is inserted in the folded position in order to avoid any ri sque inadvertent deployment of the handle, especially during its transport. Referring finally to Figure 8, we see that the protective housing is associated with a base 9 having a foot 10 whose surface is large enough to provide good stability to the support and from which stands a housing 11 receiving the handle.
Ainsi, en position légèrement déployée, la poignée peut être logée dans le logement 11, et la tablette peut être maintenue en position d'utilisation sensiblement inclinée. En outre, grâce au montage pivotant du support 5 sur la coque 2, il est possible d'orienter la coque 2, et par conséquent la tablette, dans diverses positions alors qu'elle est maintenue en position d'utilisation dans l'embase 9 (figure 9)·  Thus, in the slightly deployed position, the handle can be housed in the housing 11, and the shelf can be maintained in the position of use substantially inclined. In addition, thanks to the pivoting mounting of the support 5 on the shell 2, it is possible to orient the shell 2, and therefore the tablet, in various positions while it is held in the use position in the base 9 (Figure 9) ·
On notera enfin que l'articulation de la poignée 4 sur le support 5 ainsi que le montage du support 5 sur la coque se ferait avantageusement en prévoyant un assemblage serré des pattes 6 dans le support 5 et du support 5 sur la coque ou, en d'autres termes, un assemblage procurant une résistance suffisante afin de permettre un maintien de la poignée et du support dans la position choisie par l'utilisateur, malgré le poids exercé par la tablette.  Note finally that the articulation of the handle 4 on the support 5 and the mounting of the support 5 on the shell would be advantageously by providing a tight assembly of the legs 6 in the support 5 and the support 5 on the shell or, in in other words, an assembly providing sufficient strength to allow maintenance of the handle and the support in the position chosen by the user, despite the weight exerted by the tablet.
