DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to FIG. 1 through FIG. 3, a mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention comprises a frame 20 and a slidable shutter 30. The slidable shutter is mounted on the frame20 to function as a slidable component ofthe frame 20.
The frame 20, which is a unitary structure, comprises two U-shaped blocks 21 a and 21b and a first connection panel 25, wherein the first connection panel 25 separates the two U-shaped blocks 21a and 2 lb by a distance.
The two U-shaped blocks 21a and 21b each comprise an upper panel 22, a lower panel 23, and a bent panel 24. The bent panel 24 has one end connected to the upper panel 22 and the other end connected to the lower panel 23 so as to separate the upper panel 22 and the lower panel 23 by a distance. Hence, the two U-shaped blocks 21a and 21b each have an accommodation chamber E2 defined by the upper panel 22, the lower panel 23, and the bent panel 24.
Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the first connection panel 25 has more length than width. The two lengthwise ends of the first connection panel 25 are connected to the upper panels 22 of the two spaced-apart U-shaped blocks 21a and 21b, respectively. Hence, an insertion chamber El is formed beneath the first connection panel 25 of the frame 20. The insertion chamber El is in communication with the accommodation chambers E2 of the two U-shaped blocks 21a and 21b. A window-shaped chamber E3 is defined between the two spaced-apart U-shaped blocks 21a and 21b of the frame 20. The window-shaped chamber E3 is in communication with the insertion chamber El and the accommodation chambers E2.
Referring to FIG. 2, in another specific embodiment, the frame 20 either comprises a second connection panel 26 instead of the first connection panel 25 or further comprises a second connection panel 26 disposed beneath the first connection panel 25, wherein the second connection panel 26 connects the lower panels 23 of the two spaced-apart U-shaped blocks 21 a and 2 lb, such that the frame 20 also has the insertion chamber El, the two accommodation chambers E2, and the window-shaped chamber E3.
Referring to FIG. 2, the slidable shutter 30 made of flexible material comprises a plurality of shutter-like elements 31 formed by molding techniques as a unitary structure. To mount the slidable shutter 30 on the frame 20, a U-shaped groove 28 is disposed on each of the two face-to-face sides of the two spaced-apart U-shaped blocks 21a and 21b. Each U-shaped grooves 28 not only respectively hold one end of each of the shutter-like elements 31 of the slidable shutter 30, but also enables the mounted slidable shutter 30 to function as a slidable component capable of sliding along the U-shaped grooves 28.
Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, in another specific embodiment, each U-shaped block 21a or 21b of the frame 20 further comprises a slot 29 formed on the bottom of the upper panel 22 thereof and constructed to communicate with ones own corresponding U-shaped grooves 28 of the frame 20 respectively.
The slots 29 are designed for replacement of the slidable shutter 30 by a user who can do it himself/herself (or called DIY). Therefore, a used slidable shutter 30 of the mobile device protective ease 10 of the present invention if a user has a dislike for the slidable shutter 30 is capable of being detached from the frame 20 through the slots 29 by DIY of the user, and vice versa, through the slots 29 a favorite or novel slidable shutter 30 is also capable of being quickly mounted to the frame 20 by the user for variant of the user's mobile device protective easc 10.
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, given the aforesaid control mechanism for displacement of the slidable shutter 30, the window-shaped chamber E3 of the frame can be opened or shut by the slidable shutter 30. As shown in FIG. 2, to make it easy to manipulate the sliding of the slidable shutter 30, a raised handle 32 is disposed one of the shutter-like elements 31 located at the front of the slidable shutter 30.
Referring to FIG. 4, to enable the slidable shutter 30 to scrub, a wiper 33 is disposed on the back of the shutter-like element 31 having the raised handle 32.
Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention serves the purpose of preventing the touch panel 51 of the mobile device 50 from being scratched or scraped. When in usc, the insertion chamber El, the accommodation chambers E2, and the window-shaped chamber E3 of the mobile device protective ease 10 of the present invention together form an assembly space.
After the mobile device 50 has been inserted into the insertion chamber El of the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention, the mobile device 50 is in its entirety confined to the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention.
At this point in time, the touch panel 51 of the mobile device 50 is placed under the protection of the slidable shutter 30 of the mobile device protective case 10 of the
S
present invention such that, even if the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention is hit, the slidable shutter 30 can still prevent the touch panel 51 of the mobile device 50 from being scratched or scraped.
Referring to FIG. 6, to start using the mobile device 50, a user moves the slidable shutter 30 of the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention, such that the touch panel 51 of the mobile device 50 is exposed and can be directly operated by the user. Furthermore, the wiper 33 disposed on the back of the slidable shutter 30 wipes the touch panel 51 of the mobile device 50 in the course of the movement of the slidable shutter 30.
Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 11, in another specific embodiment, the slidable shutter 30 further comprises a thin fiat surface 34 formed thereon having a thickness ranging between 0.08mm and 0.8mm, preferably in 0.5mm of thickness.
The thin flat surface 34 is capably formed with an entire surface or a grille-like or grid-like surface, which is designed to operate the function of "slide to unlock" of the mobile device 50. As shown in FIG. 11 when a user's finger comes in contact with the thin flat surface 34 of the slidable shutter 30 of the mobile device protective case and moves the slidable shutter 30 being in sliding displacement, due to electricity inducted through the thin flat surface 34, the touch panel 51 of the mobile device 50 seems to be directly touched by the user's finger and then synchronously performs the function of "slide to unlock" and simultaneously displays information to the user.
Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, a stop block 27 is disposed at each of the two U-shaped blocks 21a and 21b of the frame 20 of the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention, and the stop block 27 is located on the outer side of each of the accommodation chambers E2 of the two U-shaped blocks 21a and 21b. Hence, once the mobile device 50 is inserted into the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention, the mobile device 50 will be guided to its position and cannot escape from the accommodation chambers E2.
Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, in another specific embodiment, the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention further comprises an auxiliary housing element 40 that comes in different colors or decorative patterns for the user to choose from according to user preference. The user encases the frame 20 of the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention tightly in the auxiliary housing element 40 by means of a snap fastener or Velcro to change the surface decoration of the frame 20.
The shape of the auxiliary housing clement 40 matches the shape of the frame 20 of the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention. The auxiliary housing element 40 comprises a hollowed-out chamber 41 corresponding in position to the window-shaped chamber E3 of the frame 20. As shown in FIG. 8, after the frame 20 of the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention has been encased in the auxiliary housing element 40 in a close-fitting manner, the slidable shutter 30 mounted on the frame 20 is still slidable. Hence, the user can operate the touch panel 51 of the mobile device 50 freely.
Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG.10, in another specific embodiment, each U-shaped block 21a or 21b of the frame 20 of the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention further provides with plural sucking parts 60 dispersedly or orderly mounted on the accommodation chamber E2 thereof After a mobile device 50 has been assembled into the accommodation chamber E2 of the mobile device protective case 10 of the present invention, the mobile device 50 is capable of being sucked with those sucking parts 60 to prevent the mobile device 50 escaped from the mobile device protective case 10 of the invention.
