2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, portable telephones have rapidly become popular as information exchange means because of their convenient use at any time and at any place. 2. Description of the Related Art In general, a mobile phone is used for holding a telephone body in one hand and talking with a receiver near an ear and a microphone near a mouth.

[0003]

However, the conventional method of using a portable telephone has the following problems. That is, during a call, the telephone body is used with one hand held against one's ear, so that only one hand can be used. For this reason, for example, when a telephone call must be made during a work that requires the use of both hands, there is an inconvenience that the work must be temporarily suspended, which is inefficient. Alternatively, if the operation is continued with one hand without interruption, there is a risk of causing serious accidents due to inability to perform detailed operations and machine operations. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an ear mounting device for a mobile phone which can be used without holding it during a call.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a first aspect of the present invention is to support a pair of clip pieces provided with a holding portion and a gripping portion so as to be openable and closable, and to hold the pair of clip pieces by spring means. The ear mounting means is disengaged in the direction of abutting one end of the part, and the telephone holding means integrally extended from the ear mounting means. According to this, it is possible to talk while the mobile phone is attached to and held in the ear, and various operations can be performed using both hands, so that the operation is efficient and safe.

[0005] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the ear mounting means includes:
An elastic member is provided on each of the pair of clip pieces on the opposing surfaces of the holding portion. According to this, the elastic member exerts the effect of preventing slippage, and has an effect of preventing the mobile phone attached to the ear from being displaced.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the telephone holding means has a joint portion integrally extended from one outer surface of the clip piece, and a surface on a side of the joint portion where the clip piece abuts. It is characterized by having an adhesive member on the side surface. According to this, the mobile phone is adhered and held through the adhesive member,
By mounting the mobile phone on the ear by the ear mounting means, the receiver of the mobile phone can be mounted on the ear, and the microphone can be mounted on the mouth correctly.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a support portion projecting from a substantially central portion of the clip piece is provided with a stopper means for limiting a rotation range of the clip piece. According to this, since the rotation range of the clip piece is limited by the stopper means, the elastic member provided at the clipping portion of the clip piece is not pressed by a large abutment pressure and does not deteriorate elastically. Since no excessive pressure is applied when wearing the ear, the ear does not hurt even when used for a long time.

First, the structure of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a mobile phone ear mounting device main body, which fixes and holds an ear mounting means 2 for sandwiching and fixing an auricle of a human ear and a mobile phone integrally extended from one outer surface thereof. And a telephone holding means 3.

The ear mounting means 2 is constituted by supporting a pair of clip pieces 4 provided opposite each other so as to be openable and closable by a support portion 5 protruding from a substantially central portion thereof. The clip piece 4 has a holding portion 4 a with its tip end direction centered on the support portion 5,
The rear end direction is provided as a grip portion 4b, and elastic members 6 are attached to opposing surfaces of the holding portion 4a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the clip piece 4 is urged by a spring means 7 provided on the support portion 5 in a direction to close the holding portion 4a. In addition, the support portion 5 is provided with stopper means 8 for restricting the rotation range of the clip piece 4 so that the elastic member 6 is not subjected to an unnecessary abutment pressure. Specifically, the tip of the support portion 5 and the edge on the grip portion 4b side are formed in an arc shape centered on the axis S,
The edge on the side of the holding portion 4a is formed in a square shape or an arc shape having a radius smaller than the arc. Here, the clip piece 4 is formed by integrally molding metal or plastic.

The telephone holding means 3 is provided with a joint portion 9 extending integrally from the clip piece 4 in a substantially vertical direction on the back surface of the clipping portion 4a of the clip piece 4, and the joint piece facing the abutting side of the clip piece 4. This is a configuration in which an adhesive member 10 for bonding and holding a telephone is provided on one side surface of the joint 9.

Next, a method of using the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The same components as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. In FIG. 3, 1
