Definitions
- the invention relates to a holder for receiving and operating tablet PC and is used in particular in industry or field service application.
- Previously known tablet PC personal computer
- a touch screen which is installed together with the other electronic components in a cuboid housing.
- the housings are preferably designed to be very thin, while for industrial use and outdoor use, housings and protective covers of protective (e.g., impact, water repellent, oil repellent) material are used.
- protective e.g., impact, water repellent, oil repellent
- Prolonged holding and typing especially when holding with one hand or holding with oily fingers, can cause the tablet PC to slip, which can result in damage to the tablet PC, incorrect operation, and time lost during operation.
- the hand and finger positions are ergonomically unfavorable, so that physiological stresses occur.
- ergonomically shaped handles can be used for safe and low-load operation and handling.
- Touchscreens can be used with oily fingers, with gloves, in haptic
- Multifunctional cover for all types of mobile devices especially mobile phones and tablet PC known, which can enrich the respective terminal by one or more function / s by different individual modules on or at the back of such a shell.
- Single modules can be very different Embodiments are combined with each other and / or communicate with the terminal or interact, since the individual modules with the help of designated mating or connection points, power or data connections, electricity or
- the document DE 10 2013 1 13 801 A1 relates to an operating device for use in a commercial vehicle and describes a receiving device for releasably receiving a mobile computer or tablet and an interface for connecting the operating device with a vehicle electronics of the commercial vehicle.
- the operating device additionally has an input device for a user input and a holder for permanent attachment in or on a commercial vehicle.
- the HMI device via a communication device for connecting the HMI device to a CAN bus of the commercial vehicle and a standard connector for connection to the mobile computer.
- the HMI device has at least one damping element to increase the vibration and shock resistance of the mobile computer.
- An ergonomic optimized recording device is not described.
- the protective housing of the HMI device can not be combined with another tablet PC.
- the object of the invention is to develop a holder for receiving and operating tablet PC, which has a simple structural design and good operability in industrial and outdoor use.
- An ergonomic handle shape is to be created which allows safe, low-load, one-handed and ambidextrous handling of the tablet PC.
- the invention relates to a holder for receiving and operating tablet PC, wherein the holder has handles for the left and right hand, wherein the handles have an ergonomic shape.
- the holder is designed such that it is ambidextrous or one hand durable and operable.
- the tablet PC is placed between the handles and can be charged with electric current via a socket located on the underside of the handles. This can be done by means of a charging cable or a docking station.
- the ergonomically shaped handles have four trough-like on the bottom
- the handles have on the top of a thumb rest for fixing the thumb in one-handed holding.
- At least one of the handles has a control in the form of a joystick
- D-pad or similar controls for the operation of the software interface attached by thumb can be operated comfortably by means of one hand or by means of gloves.
- an operating element consisting of at least two buttons for operating the software surface by means of thumb, is attached to at least one of the handles.
- a handle on the back of a button for operating the software surface may be appropriate.
- the bracket is designed to be compatible with various tablet PCs. This is made possible by means of a housing, the housing consisting of a frame and possibly a lid, which can be connected to the handles and which are adapted to the tablet PC.
- an ergonomic one-hand grip for one-handed holding and for placing the tablet PC is provided on the rear side of the housing, wherein the single-handed grip is variably mounted within a grid by a suitable connection technique, preferably magnetically.
- tablet PC can be securely held and transported by means of ergonomic handles with the left and right hand.
- the trough-like depressions for the fingers also allow inexperienced users to intuitively find a favorable grip position. With the help of the thumb rest, the thumb can fixed on one of the grips with one-handed hold and used as a counter support without inadvertently operating control and operating elements.
- the control of the software interface via a control e.g. via a joystick, and controls with at least two buttons with confirm / back function allow the user to use an ergonomic operation with a thumb, regardless of the touch screen.
- various functions can be controlled by the index fingers with the controls on the back of the handle.
- the handles for the left and right hand are mounted on a housing in which tablet PC from different manufacturers can be introduced.
- an additional ergonomic one-hand grip - for example, by a magnetic connection, a click or a screw - are attached.
- the one-handed handle can be variably positioned on the back of the housing within a predetermined grid according to the needs of the user.
- the one-handed handle can be used as a support for placing down the tablet PC.
- FIG. 1 shows the isometric representation of the overall invention
- FIG. 2 shows the overall invention from the side
- FIG. 3 shows the left grip from the front
- FIG. 4 shows the left grip from the left
- FIG. 5 shows the left-hand grip from above
- FIG. 6 the right hand grip from the front
- FIG. 7 shows the right grip from the right
- FIG. 8 shows the right-hand grip from above
- FIGs 1 and 2 the holder according to the invention for tablet PC is shown.
- the tablet PC is arranged in a housing 1 with an ergonomically shaped one-hand grip 2 arranged on the back side.
- the housing 1 preferably consists of a frame and lid, in which the tablet PC is inserted and closed.
- the handles 3, 4 are connected to the frame and have at the bottom in each case four trough-like depressions 5, in which the fingers of the hands are inserted.
- the recesses 5 provide ergonomic guidance of the fingers.
- the handles 3, 4 each have a thumb rest 6, which is arranged on the upper side of the handles 3, 4.
- control of the software interface of the tablet PC is optional for touch operation via a control element 7.
- This control is formed on the left handle 3 in the form of a joystick 7.
- Other ways of operation arise over the use of controls 8 with at least two buttons with confirm / back function.
- the control 7 and control 8 allow the user regardless of the touch screen ergonomic operation by means of thumb.
- a socket 10 for charging the tablet PC is arranged by means of electricity at the bottom.
- the charge of the tablet PC can be done within the holder.
- FIGS. 3 to 5 A single representation of the left handle 3 is shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.
- the handle 3 has on the back a recess 5 for the fingers.
- On the top of a thumb rest 6 is arranged, which provides an ergonomic grip option.
- the joystick 7 is by means of thumb and the
- Operating element 9 can be operated by means of the index finger of the left hand.

- the handle 4 has on the back a recess 5 for the fingers.
- On the top of a thumb rest 6 is arranged, which provides an ergonomic grip option.
- FIG. 9 shows the holder according to the invention in a rear view.
- the centrally located housing 1 is bordered by the left and right handles 3, 4. Since a camera is usually installed in today's tablet PC, the housing 1 has a recess 11 which releases the lens of the camera of the tablet PC. Centered on the housing 1, the ergonomically shaped one-hand grip is mounted, wherein the one-hand grip on the back of the housing can be variably positioned within a predetermined grid according to the needs of the user. In addition, the one-handed handle can be used as a support for placing down the tablet PC.
- the assembly of the one-hand grip 2 is preferably carried out by means of known connection techniques such as magnetic.
