Description

SUPPORT FOR COMPUTER TABLETS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a support for electronic devices, such as tablets, electronic books, smartphones and any other similar type, which invites prolonged use, in which a joint connection with the device in question is created, facilitating its attachment. and manipulation.

Find special application in the field of electronic consumables industry.

TECHNICAL PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The personal electronic devices such as tablet, electronic book or smartphone allow a user to have a computer in a single element, incorporating a touch screen. In some cases, even a

15 pointer as an instrument for data entry.

These electronic devices are usually smaller than a laptop, so a user will usually keep it closer to their eyes than in the case of a laptop.

Even with a reduced size and weight compared to a laptop, the use of a tablet or e-book may be unmanageable if used for a long time.

A variety of methods are known in the current state of the art in relation to the fixation of devices for the convenience of their use, either by their position, by their maneuverability or by any aspect

25 in which immobilization is needed.

The present invention is focused on electronic devices such as tablets or books that have a considerable size, greater than 6 ", and that are of prolonged use, causing the user a feeling of exhaustion when having to hold it by the device's own frame.

As the closest state of the art, we can cite the following documents.

In the document USD650531S1 you can see a very basic device to hold a tablet or electronic book using straps.

35 US2012068043A1 and WO2012050980A2 show more elaborate supports that are fixed to the back of the tablets by mechanical fixings, the back of the tablet having to be adapted in order to assemble the support.

The present invention improves a problem that is poorly developed in the present state of the art, such as making the prolonged use of electronic devices more manageable and comfortable by means of a support that is easy to install, detachable and without having to affect the device. electronic.

In the support for computer tablets when turning the swinging support, it forces the pin to move along the pair of pass-through guides, moving from a lower position to an upper one and forcing the suction cup to move through its central area, creating a vacuum that causes a suction effect on the surface on which it rests.

55 In the computer tablet holder, the vacuum dome comprises a spherical cap-shaped area, topped off with a tubular geometry whose wall integrates a pair of through grooves (10) along the axis, and in the edge with a flat perimeter projection;

In the support for computer tablets, the reciprocating support comprises an area with a tubular geometry that integrates a pair of pass-through guides and which houses the tubular geometry of the vacuum dome and at its lower base a wider area that houses the spherical cap shape of the vacuum dome;

65 reciprocating, to the vacuum dome by the pair of through grooves and to the central rigid shaft by the through hole located in them, The computer tablet holder comprises a spring that is located between the pin and the suction cup.

In the support for computer tablets the vacuum dome has an annular projection along the entire perimeter of the flat perimeter projection that is in contact with the suction cup, so that by exerting pressure on the support, it enhances the continuous contact on an outline cancel the surface of the suction cup with the surface where you want to fix.

The annular shoulder of the computer tablet holder has an angular shape.

In the tablet holder, the pair of pass-through guides has a wavy shape, with a lower central zone and two higher zones on both sides that end in a geometry with a recess zone in which the pin can be kept in a steady state stable.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a support for electronic devices, in particular tablets, electronic books and the like.

In order to better understand the operation of the support, we will describe an embodiment, making an impact on the assembly of its elements.

Initially, the spring (7) is inserted into the central rigid shaft (5) of the suction cup (4), and the assembly is installed inside the vacuum dome (3). Covering the vacuum dome (3), the reciprocating support (2) is installed, taking into account that the pair of pass-through guides (9) is aligned with the pair of through grooves (10) along the axis and the through hole (11) of the central rigid shaft (5). The pin (6) is introduced through these three through openings (9, 10, 11) considering that the spring (7) must be between the pin (6) and the suction cup (4). The assembly is inserted into the handle (1), which has a shape in its lower inner zone in which the polygonal shape of the lower edge of the reciprocating support (2) fits, and in its upper area a coupling in which it engages a mechanical fixation located at the opposite base of the reciprocating support (2), the assembly being jointly joined. Finally the assembly closes with the cover (8) of the handle (1), which has an aesthetic function only.

The main purpose of the spring (7) is to provide stability to the positioning of the pin (6), also said spring (7) keeps the components of the support in tension, without gaps between them, avoiding movements between the components and unwanted noise.

Once the breakdown of its elements is described, we will see how it works as described below.

The support only works correctly when applied on flat and non-porous surfaces.

Starting from an initial resting position, the assembly with the suction cup (4) is positioned on the surface of the device in question. An axial pressure of the support on the electronic device must be maintained, so that the flat surface of the suction cup (4), defined by an annular shoulder (13), as can be seen in Figure 2, permanently makes contact with the surface on the that you want to apply the support, without losing the tightness.

Once the support is positioned on the electronic device in question, when turning the handle (1), and therefore the reciprocating support (2), which is integral with it, the pin (6) is forced to move along the pair of reciprocating through guides (9) from a lower central position to an upper one at either end, causing the pin (6) to travel longitudinally along the pair of through slots (10) of the vacuum dome (3) from a lower position to a higher one, and also moving to the rigid central axis (5) the same length as the pin (6) in the through grooves (10), forcing the suction cup (4) to move along its central area, losing its flatness and creating the desired suction effect.

To separate the support from the device, it is enough to eliminate the suction effort, just by turning the support and returning it to its initial position, so that the pin (6) will travel the pair of pass-through guides (9) from the upper area to the lower center.

The support is finished off with a cover (8) personalized with user details or with advertising.

The present invention should not be limited to the embodiment described herein. Other configurations can be made by those skilled in the art in view of the present description. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims.
