Description

  The present invention relates to a charging stand for a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone.

A mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone is provided with a secondary battery, is attached to a charging stand, connected to a charger, and repeatedly used for charging.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the conventional charging stand is provided with a stand 120 that is rotated by a hinge part 121, and the form of the stand 120 is switched as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b). 110, the support form of the mobile phone 1 is changed.
Normal charging is performed in the state of FIG. 7A with the charging stand 110 upright, and when performing data communication while charging, the communication terminal 4 that is connected to the charging terminal with the mobile phone lying down communicates. The space 125 is formed by opening the stand 120 between the communication terminal 4 and the installation surface 7 so that the cable 6 can be connected.
In recent years, with the further increase in functionality of mobile phones, there has been an increasing use of projecting a television screen on a display panel 5 of a mobile phone or connecting to a personal computer or a television.
At this time, a support form for holding the mobile phone in the lateral direction is desired.
In particular, when the display panel 5 is a liquid crystal panel, it may be easy to see that the display panel 5 is supported horizontally and obliquely so that the display surface is slightly upward.
However, since the conventional charging base only holds the lower part of the mobile phone so that it can be easily mounted, there is a problem that if the mobile phone is placed on its side, the upper part falls down due to the weight of the mobile phone and falls off the charging base.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-312101 discloses a technique for rotating a charging device stand so that a communication cable can be connected when data communication is performed and when data communication is not performed.
However, the mobile phone is not supported sideways and the display panel is not easily tilted.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-312101

  In view of the above technical problem, the present invention is intended to be used for supporting the portable communication terminal in the upright state so that the portable communication terminal is supported at the lower part and supporting the upper part of the portable communication terminal when supported at an angle. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a charging stand that can selectively use a support form.

  A charging stand according to the present invention includes a mounting main body for engaging and mounting a mobile communication terminal on the lower side, and a stand that can be pivoted in the vertical direction on the back of the mounting main body. And a substantially trapezoidal grounding base portion having a substantially trapezoidal grounding base portion connected to the arm portion and a substantially trapezoidal grounding base portion connected to the arm portion. Arranged so that the main body side is the upper base of the trapezoidal shape in the standing state rotated to the bottom side, and supports the side part of the portable communication terminal in the horizontal oblique state rotated to the top side of the main body part It has a guide-like projection protruding so as to be formed on the bottom side of the substantially trapezoidal shape.

  Here, the back and up direction of the back surface of the mounting main body means the vertical direction of the charging base in a state in which the mobile communication terminal is mounted on the charging base in a standing state. The ground side is called the bottom.

  The stand is composed of an arm part and a grounding base part, and is made into a substantially L shape or T shape when viewed from the side. The charging unit stands in an upright state by turning the arm part, which has one end pivotally attached to the back of the main body part, to the bottom side of the main body part and using the lower surface of the substantially trapezoidal grounding base part connected to the arm part as the grounding surface. The phone can be mounted vertically on the charging stand so that the phone can be inserted downward from the top.

The arm part with one end pivotally attached to the back of the mounting main body part is turned to the top side of the main body part, and the upper base of the grounding base part connected to the arm part becomes a prone state by making it the grounding surface, You can keep your phone laid down.
In addition, the arm part with one end pivotally attached to the back of the mounting body part is turned to the top side of the body part, and the substantially trapezoidal side of the grounding base part connected to the arm part is used as a grounding surface. In this case, the grounding base part has a substantially trapezoidal shape, and has a guide-like protrusion on the lower bottom side. So that the phone does not come off under its own weight when the charging stand is placed horizontally, and since the grounding base has a substantially trapezoidal shape, the panel display surface is somewhat Tilt upwards.
Here, the reason why the grounding base portion has a substantially trapezoidal shape is that when the side surface is a grounding surface, the panel display surface tilts slightly upward, and the tilt angle may be small with respect to the vertical direction. Alternatively, the shape of the grounding base portion may be a rectangular shape such as a rectangle.

In the portable communication terminal charging stand according to the present invention, the position where the stand is to be tilted and the grounding portion are selected, and the charging stand can be placed in a standing (vertical) state, a prone (laying down) state, or a laterally inclined state. .
In the standing state, the lower surface (vertical grounding portion) of the grounding base portion is grounded, and the mounting main body portion and the mobile phone are erected and supported in the same manner as in the prior art.
In this case, since the mobile phone is supported at the lower part, it is easy to attach.
In the horizontal oblique installation state, when the charging base is in the horizontal oblique state by grounding the substantially trapezoidal side (horizontal oblique grounding portion), the base portion has a trapezoidal shape, so that an elevation angle is formed on the installation surface. The mobile phone display panel is easy to see.
Even when placed horizontally and obliquely, the mobile phone can be stably held because it has guide-like projections for guiding and holding the mobile phone on the lower base side of the substantially trapezoidal shape of the grounding base portion of the stand.
Further, when placed in a horizontally slanted state or a prone state, a space for a communication cable can be formed on the bottom side of the mobile phone.
