(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a cover case 100 of the present embodiment. 2A to 2E are a front view, a plan view, a left side view, a bottom view, and a right side view of the cover case 100 shown in FIG. FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. FIG. 3B is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. FIG. 3C is a diagram for explaining attachment of the electronic terminal 24 and the touch pen 26 to the cover case 100, and FIG. 3D is a front view of the touch pen 26.

First, the outline | summary of this Embodiment cover case 100 is demonstrated.
The cover case 100 is used to hold the electronic terminal 24 having a touch screen and the touch pen 26. The cover case 100 is provided integrally with the frame (the side wall 102, the side wall 104, the right side wall 122, and the upper side wall 120) having the electronic terminal holding space 112 in which the electronic terminal 24 is held. The touch pen holding unit 130 is provided with a touch pen holding space 132 that is configured by a member harder than the distal end portion 28 and has the touch pen holding space 132 in which the touch pen 26 is held.

  The touch pen holding unit 130 is configured by a member that is harder than the distal end portion 28 of the touch pen 26. Since the touch pen holding part 130 is comprised with the hard member, it becomes difficult to deform | transform when the touch pen 26 is attached or detached. For this reason, attachment and detachment of the touch pen 26 are facilitated, and work efficiency of the electronic terminal 24 using the touch pen 26 can be improved.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the frame body is not particularly limited as long as it has a structure that can hold the electronic terminal, but for example, at least three surfaces around the electronic terminal such as a ring structure and a box structure that accommodates the electronic terminal. Means a structure that holds Moreover, the cover case of this Embodiment contains the frame body in which the touch pen holding | maintenance part was integrally provided, for example, may have the accessory integrally provided in the frame body. Examples of accessories include a neck strap, a clip structure, and a non-contact power feeding device mounting structure. Moreover, being provided integrally means not only the aspect formed with the same member but the aspect formed with another member is included.

Details of the cover case 100 will be described below.
The cover case 100 shown in FIG. 1 is comprised from the frame. The frame includes a side wall portion including a side wall 102, a side wall 104, a right side wall 122, and an upper side wall 120, and a bottom plate 142. That is, the cover case 100 includes a bottom plate 142 and a side wall portion that is integrally formed with the bottom plate 142 in a direction perpendicular to the surface and surrounds the four sides. The frame has an electronic terminal holding unit 110 and a touch pen holding unit 130 therein. That is, the electronic terminal holding unit 110 and the touch pen holding unit 130 are arranged in parallel in the plane direction of the bottom plate 142 in a space surrounded by the frame body. For example, the electronic terminal holding space 112 and the touch pen holding space 132 are arranged side by side on the front side of the bottom plate 142 (the bottom plate 108 and the bottom plate 124) of the same member.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic terminal holding space 112 is surrounded by the bottom plate 108, the side wall 102, the upper side wall 120, the side wall 104, the lower side wall 126, the top plate 128, and the locking portion 128 a at the end of the top plate 128. And a touch pen housing recess (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a housing recess). The housing recess has a touch pen holding space 132. That is, the touch pen holding part 130 is comprised by the accommodation recessed part formed in the frame. On the other hand, the touch pen holding space 132 is configured by being surrounded by the bottom plate 124, the frame wall portion (right side wall 122), and the top plate 128.

  In the present embodiment, a part or the whole of the touch pen is accommodated in the accommodating recess. As long as the touch pen is held by the inner surface of the recess, a hole may be formed in the bottom surface of the recess. In the present embodiment, surrounding a space means, for example, covering at least three predetermined directions of the space among the six directions.

  Further, on the front side of the bottom plate 142, a protrusion (projection 106) that restricts the planar movement of the electronic terminal 24 is formed between the electronic terminal holding space 112 and the touch pen holding space 132. That is, the convex part 106 suppresses that the electronic terminal 24 moves to the electronic terminal holding space 112 arranged on the right side surface of the electronic terminal holding space 112. Thereby, the planar position of the electronic terminal 24 can be fixed. The convex part 106 should just be formed along at least one surface of the side wall of the electronic terminal 24, and may be scattered or formed continuously.

  The frame shown in FIG. 3A is opened from the touch pen holding space 132 to the electronic terminal holding space 112. That is, the touch pen holding space 132 and the electronic terminal holding space 112 are in communication. That is, it is preferable that an opening 144 is formed in a wall portion between the touch pen holding space 132 and the electronic terminal holding space 112. For example, the touch pen holding space 132 is disposed in contact with the right side surface of the electronic terminal holding space 112 as shown in FIG. That is, in the present embodiment, a partition part that physically separates the space is not formed between the touch pen holding space 132 and the side surface of the electronic terminal holding space 112.

  In the present embodiment, the electronic terminal holding space 112 and the touch pen holding space 132 inside the frame mean a mode in which the spaces are in communication with each other and a part of the touch pen is held on one surface of the electronic terminal. .

  The touch pen holding unit 130 has a touch pen holding space 132. Around the touch pen holding space 132, a top plate 128, a right side wall 122, and a bottom plate 124 are arranged. The top plate 128 and the bottom plate 124 face each other. The top plate 128 and the bottom plate 124 are connected by the right side wall 122. The top plate 128, the bottom plate 124, and the right side wall 122 have a U-shaped cross-sectional structure. As shown in FIG. 3A, the inner wall surfaces of the top plate 128, the right side wall 122, and the bottom plate 124 are preferably formed so as to come into contact with the outer peripheral edge of the touch pen 26. There may be a margin between them. The inner wall surface may make point contact with the outer peripheral edge of the touch pen 26, but may also make surface contact. That is, the inner wall surface may be formed along the shape of the outer peripheral edge of the touch pen 26. The longitudinal directions of the top plate 128, the right side wall 122, and the bottom plate 124 may coincide with the insertion direction of the touch pen 26.

The advantages of the cover case 100 shown in FIG. 1 are as follows.
First, it is excellent in molding characteristics.
In the first embodiment, it is not necessary to form a partition for separating the space inside the cover case 100. That is, the frame of the present embodiment opens from the touch pen holding space 132 to the electronic terminal holding space 112. For this reason, since it can avoid that the structure of a case becomes complicated, it becomes possible to raise the ease of shaping | molding of the cover case 100. FIG.

  Further, the touch pen housing recess can be easily formed on the side wall surface or bottom surface of the cover case 100. That is, the side wall 104 and the bottom plate 142 are extruded from the inside toward the outside. As a result, a tunnel-shaped touch pen housing recess can be formed on the outer surface of the side wall 104 or the bottom plate 142. This is because the frame and the touch pen holding portion 130 (that is, the inner wall of the touch pen housing recess) can be formed of the same member. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to process the frame of the cover case 100 to form the touch pen housing recess that becomes the touch pen holding unit 130. Thereby, since the member for attaching a touch pen holding | maintenance part to the outer surface of the cover case 100 becomes unnecessary, the touch pen holding | maintenance part 130 can be formed also in a space-saving place.

  In the present embodiment, the touch pen holding part 130 is formed on the side wall of the cover case 100, but the touch pen holding part 130 may be formed by extruding the bottom plate 142 in the same manner. Note that the thickness in the direction perpendicular to the front surface of the cover case 100 can be reduced by forming the touch pen holder 130 on the side wall surface of the frame. Moreover, the length of the cover case 100 in the width direction can be reduced by forming the touch pen holder 130 on the bottom surface of the frame.

  Further, by configuring the electronic terminal holding unit 110 and the touch pen holding unit 130 with the same member, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by improving molding characteristics, reducing the number of attached parts, and the like, and variation between products can be suppressed. . For example, here, the same member means one that can be formed in the same process using the same material.

Secondly, the electronic terminal 24 is excellent in desorption characteristics.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3A, an opening 144 is formed on the right side surface of the electronic terminal holding space 112. The length in the longitudinal direction of the opening 144 can be the same as the length in the longitudinal direction of the right side surface of the electronic terminal holding space 112. The opening 144 is formed between the locking portion 128 a formed at the tip of the top plate 128 and the convex portion 106. That is, the locking portion 128 a and the convex portion 106 are not connected over the entire right side surface of the electronic terminal holding space 112. For this reason, the locking portion 128 a, the convex portion 106, and the width can be slightly widened according to the elastic characteristics of the top plate 128. Therefore, when the electronic terminal 24 is mounted in the electronic terminal holding space 112, the electronic terminal 24 can be easily inserted between the locking portion 128a and the convex portion 106, and the mounting characteristics of the electronic terminal 24 can be improved.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the recessed part is formed in the side wall of the frame which the parallel line of the longitudinal direction of the opening 144 passes. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a recess 116 is formed between the side wall 102 and the upper side wall 120, and a recess 118 is formed between the side wall 104 and the lower side wall 126. Further, these recesses are preferably a pair of opposing recesses. This makes it easier to widen the front opening of the cover case 100 when the electronic terminal 24 is attached. As described above, the desorption characteristics of the electronic terminal 24 can be improved.

  A locking portion 128 a that is in contact with the front surface of the electronic terminal 24 can be formed over the entire edge of the top plate 128 that constitutes the touch pen holding portion 130. Thereby, the retention strength of the electronic terminal 24 can be increased. In addition, although it is preferable that the latching | locking part 128a is comprised with the same member as the touch pen holding | maintenance part 130, for example, you may be comprised with elastic members, such as a rubber material.

Thirdly, the touch pen 26 has excellent desorption characteristics.
As shown in FIG. 3C, the electronic terminal 24 is attached to the electronic terminal holding unit 110 of the cover case 100. In the first embodiment, the opening 144 is closed by the right side surface 20 of the attached electronic terminal 24. For this reason, the touch pen 26 is locked inside the touch pen holding unit 130 and does not need to be inserted into the opening 144. Therefore, even if the opening 144 is formed, by using the right side surface of the electronic terminal 24, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the attachment / detachment characteristics of the touch pen 26.

  Further, the peripheral edge of the touch pen 26 reaches at least the inner slope 106 a of the convex portion 106 that restricts the lateral movement of the electronic terminal 24. That is, the touch pen holding space 132 that contacts the touch pen is formed in the cover case 100. As a result, the touch pen 26 is held between the right side surface 20 of the electronic terminal 24 and the inner wall surface of the right side wall 122. Therefore, the positional deviation of the touch pen 26 is suppressed, and the wearing characteristics can be improved.

Fourthly, the cover case 100 is excellent in impact resistance.
In this Embodiment, the corner | angular part of the cover case 100 is comprised by the side wall part comprised with the hard member. Preferably, all corners of the electronic terminal 24 are covered with a hard member. For this reason, the impact resistance of the cover case 100 can be improved. For example, the length of the inner wall surface of the right side wall 122 (the long side of the cover case 100) may be longer than the length of the touch pen 26, and may be substantially the same as the length of the right side surface (long side) of the electronic terminal 24. Accordingly, the corner portion of the cover case 100 can be covered with the side wall portion of the touch pen holding portion 130. An impact buffer member such as an elastic member may be formed between the inner wall surface of the corner portion of the cover case 100 and the electronic terminal 24.

  A touch pen holding space 132 is formed on the right side surface of the electronic terminal 24. The touch pen holding space 132 is surrounded by a hard member. That is, an air cushion can be formed on the right side surface of the electronic terminal 24. Thereby, the impact resistance of the cover case 100 can be improved.

Other advantages are as follows.
As shown in FIG. 2, an upper side wall 120 and a lower side wall 126 are disposed at the end in the vertical direction of the cylindrical touch pen holding space 132. An insertion port (opening 136) of the touch pen 26 is formed in a wall portion through which the insertion lead of the touch pen passes, for example, the upper side wall 120. The opening 136 is also formed in the right side wall 122. The opening inner edge 122a of the right wall 122 and the protrusion 32 of the touch pen 26 are locked. Thereby, it can suppress that the touch pen 26 is completely inserted in the touch pen holding space 132, and can improve a taking-out characteristic. A concave portion 138 is formed on the outer surface of the right side wall 122 so as to reach the opening inner edge 122a in the insertion direction of the touch pen 26. A part of the side wall of the recess 138 is formed by a protrusion 32 protruding from the opening inner edge 122a. For this reason, it becomes easy for an operator's finger to access the projection part 32, and the taking-out characteristic of the touch pen 26 can be improved. Further, the shape of the opening 136 and the shape of the rear end portion 36 of the touch pen 26 can be matched. Thereby, when the touch pen 26 is accommodated in the touch pen holding part 130, the surface of the rear end part 36 of the touch pen 26 and the surface of the wall part of the touch pen holding part 130 (for example, the surface of the upper side wall 120 and the right side wall 122). The same surface can be configured. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the touch pen 26 is unintentionally taken out due to the rear end portion 36 being caught by another member or the operation of the electronic terminal 24 by the operator. In addition, the structure is excellent in terms of design.

  Moreover, the latching | locking part which latches the touch pen 26 may be formed in the inner wall surface of a wall part. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the convex portion 134 is formed on the inner wall surface of the top plate 128. On the other hand, a concave groove 34 is formed in a part of the grip portion 30 of the touch pen 26. The rear end portion 36 can be reliably fixed by engaging the convex portion 134 with the concave groove 34. In addition, the convex part 134 may be formed in part or all of the circumferential direction of the inner wall surface of a wall part. Moreover, a convex part may be formed in the grip part 30, and a ditch | groove may be formed in the inner wall face of a wall part. Further, a protrusion (rib) parallel to the insertion direction of the touch pen 26 may be formed on the inner wall surface. Thereby, the contact area between the touch pen 26 and the inner wall surface may be reduced, and friction between the touch pen 26 and the inner wall surface may be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, a lower side wall 126 is formed on the side facing the insertion opening of the touch pen 26. For example, even when the touch pen 26 is completely inserted into the touch pen holding unit 130, it is possible to prevent the touch pen 26 from being lost due to the touch pen 26 dropping from the cover case 100 or the like. In the present embodiment, the lid portion is not formed in the opening 136, but the lid portion may be formed without being limited to this mode. In this case, the touch pen 26 is completely accommodated in the touch pen holding space 132. Further, two touch pens 26 may be accommodated from both sides of the touch pen holding unit 130 by forming an insertion hole for the touch pen 26 in the lower side wall 126. The length in the longitudinal direction of the touch pen holding unit 130 is not particularly limited as long as it is longer than the length of the touch pen 26 and may be equal to or shorter than the long side length or the short side length of the electronic terminal 24. In the present embodiment, two or more touch pen holders 130 may be formed at different positions.

In the present embodiment, the hard member may be any plastic, such as thermoplastic plastic or thermosetting plastic, metal, or wood, as long as the member is harder than a predetermined value. For example, examples of the plastic include polycarbonate, ABS resin, polyacetal, polyphenylene ether, polyamide, polysulfone, cellulose acetate plastic, hard vinyl chloride resin, AS resin, polystyrene, phenol resin, and nylon resin. Etc. Among these, polycarbonate is preferable from the viewpoint of hardness and tenacity.
Here, hard means, for example, Rockwell hardness M scale (JIS K7202 standard), preferably 50 or more and 150 or less, more preferably 60 or more and 130 or less.

  Since the top plate 128, the right side wall 122, and the bottom plate 124 constituting the touch pen holding unit 130 are formed of hard members, the periphery of the touch pen accommodation space is surrounded by the inner surfaces thereof. This inner surface is configured not to be deformed by contact with the touch pen 26. For this reason, the shape of the touch pen housing space is restricted from being deformed at the time of insertion or removal. Therefore, the detachability of the touch pen 26 is improved.

  The electronic terminal holding unit 110 includes a side wall 102, a side wall 104, a convex portion 106, a top plate 128 and a bottom plate 108. An electronic terminal holding space 112 is formed by the side wall portion and the bottom plate 108. The top panel 128 can be a member common to the touch pen holding unit 130. The side wall 102 supports the upper left corner of the electronic terminal 24. The side wall 104 supports the lower left corner of the electronic terminal 24. The convex portion 106 supports the right side surface 20, the upper right corner portion, and the lower right corner portion of the electronic terminal 24. As described above, the side wall portion of the electronic terminal holding unit 110 is held so as to cover the periphery of the side wall surface of the electronic terminal 24. That is, the side wall portion of the electronic terminal holding unit 110 may be engaged with the entire periphery of the side wall surface of the electronic terminal 24, but may be point-engaged in four directions of up, down, left, and right, or at least two or more locations facing each other. May be engaged. In the present embodiment, the bottom plate 108 may support the entire bottom surface of the electronic terminal 24, but may not be formed. The locking portion 128 a of the top plate 128 locks the front side of the electronic terminal 24 placed on the bottom plate 108.

  The top panel 128 has an opening for exposing the touch screen 10 and the button 22 of the electronic terminal 24. Further, the wall portion of the frame body can have an opening in a region corresponding to the button disposed on the side surface of the electronic terminal 24. For example, the wall portion of the frame may include a recess 116, a recess 114, and a recess 118. Moreover, when a recessed part is formed in the wall part of a frame, it will become easy to bend a frame. Thereby, the mounting | wearing characteristic of the electronic terminal 24 can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the convex portion 106 does not reach the locking portion 128a at the tip portion of the top plate 128, but is not limited to this mode, and may reach the top plate 128. The convex portion 106 reaching the top plate 208 can physically separate the electronic terminal holding space 112 and the touch pen holding space 132. The convex portion 106 serves as a locking portion that restricts lateral movement of the attached electronic terminal 24.

  An electronic terminal 24 shown in FIG. 3C has a touch screen 10 and a housing 12. The electronic terminal 24 is preferably a portable terminal. For example, the electronic terminal 24 is preferably a mobile device such as a mobile phone terminal, a high-function mobile terminal, or an electronic book terminal. The touch screen 10 may employ any of a capacitance method, a resistance film method, a surface acoustic wave method, an infrared method, and an electromagnetic induction method. In this embodiment, an example of a capacitance method will be described. Although the magnitude | size of the touch screen 10 is not specifically limited, For example, 2 type-15 type | molds can be employ | adopted. The housing 12 is not particularly limited, but may have, for example, a plate-like structure, a folding structure, a sliding structure, or the like. The cross-sectional shape of the housing 12 may be any of a rectangle, an ellipse, and a kamaboko shape. Although the thickness of the housing | casing 12 is not limited, The thinner one is preferable, for example, it is preferable that it is smaller than the horizontal width of the front of the housing | casing 12. FIG. In this embodiment, an example in which the housing 12 has a plate-like structure will be described. However, the cover case of this embodiment can be applied to other structures. The plate-like structure of the present embodiment may have a uniform thickness as a whole, but may be gradually thinner from the center toward the outside, and partly bent. Is also acceptable.

  The touch pen 26 includes at least a main body (grip part 30), a front end part 28 and a rear end part 36 provided integrally with the main body. In the touch pen 26 shown in FIG. 3D, the groove 34 may be formed in the grip portion 30, and the protrusion 32 may be formed in the rear end portion 36. The shape of the touch pen 26 may be a rod shape, but may be a plate shape. The material of the touch pen 26 can be appropriately selected according to the method of the touch screen 10. For example, when the capacitance method is employed, the grip portion 30 and the tip portion 28 are made of a conductive member. For example, the grip 30 is made of metal, and the tip 28 is made of a conductive sponge or conductive silicon. The touch pen 26 may have a grip member (not shown) in order to prevent the positional deviation of the hand during use. In addition, a recessed portion may be formed in the grip portion 30 of the touch pen 26. Thereby, grip property can be improved. Even when the diameter of the touch pen 26 is small, it is possible to suppress the position error of the gripping hand.

FIG. 5A is a rear view showing the cover case of the second embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining how to use the cover case of (b) the second embodiment.

An outline of the second cover case 200 will be described.
The cover case 200 of the second embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that the frame body is deformable when the electronic terminal is inserted and when the electronic terminal is mounted. That is, the cover case 200 includes a frame body having an electronic terminal housing space and a touch pen housing space inside. The frame body is composed of an upper frame body 202 and a lower frame body 204. The cover case 200 is in a first state in which the upper frame body 202 and the lower frame body 204 are engaged with each other and the insertion port of the electronic terminal housing is closed, and the relationship between the upper frame body 202 and the lower frame body 204 is The connection is released, and the electronic terminal accommodating portion formed in the lower frame body 204 can transition to the second state in which the insertion port is opened. For example, the cover case 200 includes an upper frame body 202, a lower frame body 204, and a hinge portion 206. The upper frame body 202 is coupled to the lower frame body 204 by a hinge portion 206. The upper frame body 202 is rotatable about the hinge portion 206 as an axis.

  In the present embodiment, a fragile thin portion such as a V-shaped groove may be formed on the bottom plate 218 instead of the hinge portion 206.

  In the first state of the cover case 200, the upper frame body 202 is engaged with the lower frame body 204 as shown in FIG. For example, the upper frame body 202 and the lower frame body 204 may be engaged with each other by engagement claws. In the present embodiment, a protrusion 222 is formed on the lower surface 220 of the upper frame body 202, and a protrusion 226 is formed on the upper surface 224 of the lower frame body 204.

  On the other hand, in the second state of the cover case 200, as shown in FIG. 5B, the front end portion of the upper frame body 202 moves relative to the front end portion of the lower frame body 204. Thereby, the upper surface 224 of the upper frame 202 is opened. The electronic terminal 24 can be inserted from the opening 246 of the upper surface 224. For this reason, even when the frame is strong and bending deformation is restricted, the electronic terminal 24 can be easily attached and detached. The touch pen 26 may be inserted into the insertion port (opening 238) of the touch pen in the first state, but is inserted into the opening 246 on the upper surface 224 of the lower frame body 204 in the second state. Also good.

The details of the cover case 200 of the second embodiment will be described below.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the electronic terminal 24 of the present embodiment has a curved surface and a kamaboko shape. For example, the front surface 38 is a flat surface, and the left side surface 16, the right side surface 20, and the back surface 40 have curved surfaces. Moreover, although the whole surface of the back surface 40 may have a curved surface, it is not limited to this aspect, and as shown to Fig.5 (a), a part of back surface 40 may have a flat surface. By making the bottom and side surfaces of the cover case 100 curved, it is easy to fit the handle of the operator, and the cover case 100 can be prevented from falling off.

  Also in the cover case 200 of the second embodiment, the electronic terminal holding unit 250 and the touch pen holding unit 260 are arranged inside the frame.

  The electronic terminal holding unit 250 has an upper side wall 210, a left side wall 212, a lower side wall 214, an inner normal surface 236 a of the convex portion 236, and an inner normal surface 234 a of the convex portion 234. An electronic terminal holding space 230 is formed by these wall portions.

  In the second embodiment, thick portions (convex portions 234 and 236) may be formed on the inner wall surfaces of the top plate 208 and the bottom plate 218. The inner slopes 234a and 236a of the convex portions 234 and 236 are formed along the shape of the right side surface 20 and the back surface 40 of the electronic terminal 24. For example, the convex portion 234 is formed to be thicker than the bottom plate 218. For this reason, the thick part can fill the gap between the outer peripheral edge of the electronic terminal 24 and the inner surface of the wall part of the electronic terminal holding part 250. Thereby, the position shift of the electronic terminal 24 can be suppressed even for various shapes of the electronic terminal 24.

  In addition, by forming a thick portion between the electronic terminal holding unit 250 and the touch pen holding unit 260, the strength of the joint portion of the cover case 200 can be increased, and damage when the touch pen is put in and out can be suppressed. Furthermore, by forming the locking portion 208a at the tip of the thick portion (convex portion 234) of the top plate 208, the strength of the locking portion 208a can be increased, and damage at the time of attaching and detaching the electronic terminal can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the thick portion indicates, for example, a portion that is thicker than the side wall portion. Moreover, although the thick part may be continuously formed in parallel with the insertion direction of the touch pen, it may be scattered.

  An opening 228 is formed in the top plate 208. Locking portions 208 a and 241 a are formed at both ends of the opening 228. The locking portions 208 a and 241 a lock the front surface 38 of the electronic terminal 24. Further, the lower wall 214, the bottom plate 218, and the right side wall 216 are configured seamlessly on each side.

  On the other hand, the touch pen holding unit 260 includes a top plate 208, a right side wall 216, a bottom plate 218, and inner slopes 234b and 236b. A touch pen holding space 232 is formed by these walls. The cross-sectional shape of the touch pen holding space 232 may be a circular shape, and may be a rectangular shape as in the first embodiment. In other words, the cross-sectional shape of the touch pen holding space 232 can be matched with the peripheral shape of the touch pen 26 by forming the thick portion on the inner wall surface of the touch pen housing portion.

  An opening 244 is formed between the inner slope 234b and the inner slope 236b, that is, between the top of the projection 234 and the top of the projection 236. The curved surface of the right side surface 20 of the electronic terminal 24 can protrude from the opening 244. For this reason, the right side surface 20 protruding from the opening 244 can push the peripheral surface of the touch pen 26 accommodated in the touch pen holding space 232 toward the inner wall of the right side wall 216. Thereby, the touch pen 26 can be held between the right side surface 20 of the electronic terminal 24 and the inner wall surface of the right side wall 216. In other words, when the electronic terminal and the touch pen are attached to the cover case, the right side surface of the electronic terminal is in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the touch pen. Accordingly, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the touch pen 26 from falling off.

  The entire touch pen 26 is accommodated inside the touch pen holding portion 260 except for the upper surface of the rear end portion 36. The upper surface of the rear end portion 36 may constitute the same surface as the outer surface of the cover case 200 (the surface of the top plate 208 on which the touch pen insertion opening (opening 238) is formed). Further, the upper surface of the rear end portion 36 may have a shape that matches the curve of the upper side wall 210. Here, the same surface allows variations in the manufacturing process and the like, for example, means that a step between the surfaces is within about 1 mm.

  In the second embodiment, the example in which the upper frame body 202 and the lower frame body 204 are combined has been described. As another modification, the upper frame body 202 and the lower frame body 204 may be configured to be detachable and detachable. Moreover, you may form the wall part (partition part) which isolate | separates space, without forming the opening 244 between the convex part 234 and the convex part 236. FIG. The opening 238 may be formed in the top plate 208, but may be formed in the right side wall 216 or the bottom plate 218. A cushioning member such as a rubber material may be disposed between the inner wall of the cover case 200 and the electronic terminal 24 or the touch pen 26.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 6D is an exploded view of the cover case of the third embodiment. FIG. 6B is a perspective view showing the cover case of the third embodiment.

  The cover case 300 of the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it is formed of a frame having an annular structure. The frame is configured such that a plurality of plate-like side wall members can be engaged. In other words, the cover case 300 includes a frame (an upper plate 302, a left plate 304, a lower plate 306, and a right plate 308) configured by two or more plate members that can be engaged. An electronic terminal holding space 314 is formed by being surrounded by the inner wall surface of the frame. A touch pen housing recess (touch pen holding space 316) into which the touch pen is inserted is formed on the side wall (right side plate 308) of the frame.

  In this Embodiment, since the side wall member which comprises a frame can be isolate | separated, even if it comprises a side wall member with a hard member, the fall of the mounting | wearing characteristic of an electronic terminal can be suppressed. Moreover, it becomes possible to make the film thickness of the corner | angular part of a side wall member thicker than a side surface. Thereby, the impact resistance as well as the mounting characteristics of the cover case 300 can be enhanced. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the side wall member may gradually increase from the side surface toward the corner portion, but may gradually increase.

  FIG. 6A shows an exploded state of the cover case 300. The frame of the cover case 300 includes an upper plate 302, a left plate 304, a lower plate 306, and a right plate 308. A touch pen holder 310 is integrally formed on the right side plate 308. That is, a touch pen housing recess (touch pen holding space 316) is formed in the right side plate 308. The housing recess extends in the longitudinal direction of the right side plate 308. The hole cross-sectional shape of the housing recess may be a circular shape or a rectangular shape. For example, this makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the right side plate 308. The tip of the inner hole of the housing recess may be longer than the touch pen, or may be formed along the tip shape of the touch pen. When the inner hole depth of the housing recess is longer than that of the touch pen, the tip of the housing recess is preferably tapered.

  The right side plate 308 has an electronic terminal holding space 314 on the inner wall surface. In addition, a touch pen holding space 316 is provided on the side opposite to the inner wall surface of the right side plate 308. That is, the cover case holding unit 312 and the touch pen holding unit 310 are formed on both surfaces of the right side plate 308, respectively. Thereby, the film thickness of the right side plate 308 can be reduced, and the cover case 300 can be reduced in size.

  Further, the inner wall surface 324 of the right side plate 308 is disposed on the side surface of the electronic terminal. Each plate member has an engaging part for engaging with each other. For example, a convex portion 320 a is formed at the left end portion of the upper plate 302. On the other hand, a concave groove 320b that engages with the convex portion 320a is formed at the upper end portion of the left side plate 304. Moreover, it is preferable that the inner wall surface 322 of each plate member has a structure along the shape of the side surface of the electronic terminal. Further, the upper plate 302 and the lower plate 306 have corners. In addition, although the aspect engaged with an engaging claw was demonstrated in this Embodiment, it is not limited to this, You may employ | adopt the aspect engaged with engaging means, such as a screw.

  FIG. 6B shows a state where the plate-like side wall member shown in FIG. That is, the upper side plate 302 engages with the upper end portion of the left side plate 304 and the upper end portion of the right side plate 308. The lower plate 306 engages with the lower end of the left plate 304 and the lower end of the right plate 308. Thereby, the frame shown in FIG. 6B is formed. An electronic terminal holding space 314 is formed inside the frame. That is, in the cover case holding portion 312, the upper plate 302 is configured by the upper end portion of the left plate 304 and the right plate 308. On the other hand, the touch pen holding unit 310 includes a right side plate 308 having a storage space in which the touch pen is stored.

  The side wall member constituting the frame of the cover case 300 is preferably formed of a hard member, and may be formed of metal, for example. Thereby, even if a frame is separated into pieces, the strength of each solid can be increased to prevent breakage. Further, the right side plate 308 forms a touch pen holding space 316. That is, the housing recess of the right side plate 308 is not easily deformed even if the tip of the touch pen comes into contact. For this reason, the mounting characteristic of a touch pen can be improved. In addition, the separated plate member can be easily attached to the electronic terminal. Therefore, even when the plate member is made of a hard member, there is no possibility that the mounting characteristics of the electronic terminal will deteriorate.

  An opening may be formed in the side wall member in accordance with the position of a button provided around the electronic terminal. The plate members may all be made of the same member, but may be made of different materials. For example, the corner portion of the upper plate 302 may be made of a material harder than the material of the side surface portion. Further, an impact buffering member such as a rubber member may be disposed on a corner portion or an inner wall surface of the upper plate 302. Thereby, the shock absorption property of a frame can be improved. The cross-sectional shape of the right side plate 308 may be a kamaboko shape, but may be a rectangular shape. Thereby, the cover case 300 can be slimmed. In this case, a touch pen can be used.

  In the third embodiment, the upper plate 302 and the lower plate 306 have corners. However, the present invention is not limited to this mode, and a mode in which both ends of the right side plate 308 have corners can also be adopted. The corner portion of the right side plate 308 is caught by the corner portion of the electronic terminal when a force in the insertion direction of the touch pen is applied. For this reason, a possibility that a frame will be decomposed | disassembled by putting in and out of a touch pen can be reduced. In 3rd Embodiment, although a frame is comprised with four members, it is not limited to this, You may be comprised with 2 or 3 members.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a cover case of a modification of the third embodiment.
A cover case 300 according to a modification of the third embodiment is the third embodiment in that the side wall portion of the frame body is configured by a short annular elastic member (elastic housing 326). Become. The cover case 300 shown in FIG. 7 includes an elastic frame 326 except for the right side plate 308. That is, the cover case 300 of the modified example includes a frame (an elastic frame 326 and a right side plate 308) partially made of an elastic member. An electronic terminal holding space 314 is formed by being surrounded by the inner wall surface of the frame. A touch pen housing recess (touch pen holding space 316) into which the touch pen is inserted is formed in the plate member (right side plate 308).

  The natural length of the elastic frame body 326 (including the length of the side wall surface of the right side plate 308) is shorter than the peripheral length of the side wall of the electronic terminal. The elastic frame body 326 can be expanded and contracted, and the front cross-sectional shape of the elastic frame body 326 has, for example, a rounded square shape.

  In the present modification, the elastic frame 326 is constituted by, for example, a rubber member. The ring-shaped elastic frame 326 can be easily mounted on the side wall surface of the electronic terminal. Therefore, the touch pen holding part 310 is made of a hard member, so that the detachability of the touch pen can be improved. In addition, in this modification, it is easy to attach the cover case 300 to the side wall surface of the electronic terminal.

(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 8A is a perspective view showing a cover case of the fourth embodiment. FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating that the touch pen is mounted in the touch pen housing recess when viewed from the direction in which the touch pen is inserted.

  The cover case 400 of the fourth embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that the touch pen 50 includes a guide portion that is inserted along the guide rail. That is, in the cover case 400, an engagement portion (protrusion portion 424) that extends in the insertion direction of the touch pen is formed on the inner wall surface 422 of the touch pen housing recess (touch pen holding portion 416). In other words, the opening of the touch pen housing recess is formed in the slide direction, that is, at a position corresponding to the side wall surface of the touch pen 50, unlike the first embodiment in which the touch pen is inserted.

  A cover case 400 shown in FIG. 8A includes a frame having side walls (upper side wall 402, left side wall 404, lower side wall 406, and right side wall 408) surrounding the electronic terminal holding space 418. An accommodation recess (touch pen holding space 420) for accommodating the touch pen 50 is formed in the side wall portion (right side wall 408). A guide portion (protrusion portion 424) for guiding the touch pen is formed on the inner wall surface 422 of the side wall portion (right side wall 408) of the inner hole of the housing recess. In addition, in the accommodation recess, in the touch pen insertion portion, an opening is formed in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction (a direction perpendicular to the right side wall 408). For this reason, since the front surface 64 of the touch pen 50 in the sliding direction is exposed, the contact area of the operator's finger is increased, so that the touch pen can be easily taken out.

  On the other hand, the touch pen 50 has a plate-like main body (plate part 52), a front end 54 formed at the front end of the main body, and a concave groove 58 formed in the side wall surface 56 of the main body. . In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the touch pen 50 is an H shape, but is not limited to this, and may be a convex shape. In this case, for example, the tip width of the convex portion is a pair of opposing surfaces. It is smaller than the interval between the protrusions 424, and the bottom width is wider than these intervals.

  The protrusion 424 of the cover case 400 is slid and inserted into the concave groove 58 of the touch pen 50. Thereby, the touch pen 50 is attached to the cover case 400. The tip 54 of the touch pen 50 is inserted into an inner hole formed between the outer wall surface of the right side wall 408 and the inner wall surface 422 of the touch pen housing recess.

  In the cover case 400, the electronic terminal holding portion 414 is a frame that includes an upper side wall 402, a left side wall 404, a lower side wall 406, a right side wall 408, and an elastic member 410. The upper side wall 402, the left side wall 404, the lower side wall 406, and the right side wall 408 may be formed of the same member, but may be formed of different members.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the side wall portion of the frame body is composed of a hard member (upper side wall 402, left side wall 404, lower side wall 406 and right side wall 408) and an elastic member (elastic member 410). Also good. For example, the frame is configured by a side wall portion having a square annular structure, and one side of the side wall portion has a hard side of the hard member and an elastic side of the elastic member (elastic member 410). . The hard side and the elastic side are connected side by side in the insertion direction of the touch pen. Moreover, it is preferable that the elastic member 410 is formed in the intermediate part of a side except a corner | angular part. In the present embodiment, an accommodation recess (touch pen holding space 420) is formed on the hard side (right side wall 408) of the side wall of the frame. The elastic member 410 is preferably formed over the entire end of the right side wall 408 in the direction perpendicular to the side surface.

  Since the elastic member 410 is interposed between the upper side wall 402 and the right side wall 408, the frame can freely change between the electronic terminal holding state and the electronic terminal detachable state. That is, it becomes easy to widen the space inside the frame when the electronic terminal is attached and detached. Even when all of the side walls are formed of a hard member, the electronic terminal can be easily mounted in the frame.

  The elastic member 410 is preferably formed outside the outer wall surface of the right side wall 408. Thereby, the impact resistance of the cover case 400 on the side having the touch pen 50 can be improved. Moreover, it is preferable that the elastic member 410 is formed on the same side wall side as the side wall portion in which the touch pen housing recess is formed. Thereby, the cushioning property in the insertion direction is enhanced, and damage to the thin plate-like guide portion (projection portion 424) when the touch pen 50 is inserted is reduced. In addition, it replaces with the elastic member 410 and the metal clip which connects side walls may be employ | adopted.

  Moreover, the latching | locking part 412 may be formed in the edge part of the front side or back side of the side wall of a frame. Since the latching | locking part 412 can latch the front surface or back surface of an electronic terminal, it can suppress omission of an electronic terminal. The locking portion 412 may be made of an elastic member such as a rubber material, or may be made of the same member as the side wall portion.

  The touch pen holding part 416 includes a rail-shaped protrusion 424 formed on the inner wall surface 422 of the wall part 430. The wall portion 430 is formed integrally with the right side wall 408, and is configured by forming a touch pen housing recess in a part of the right side wall 408. The right side wall 408 may be formed thicker than other side walls, for example, the left side wall 404. Thereby, a space for forming the touch pen housing recess in the right side wall 408 can be secured. The protruding portion 424 may have a rail structure, but may be configured by a group of convex portions scattered in the insertion direction.

  Further, the right side wall 408 may remain in the area of the touch pen holding space 420. A locking portion (concave groove 428) for locking the touch pen 50 may be formed on the right inner wall surface 426 of the remaining right wall 408. A protrusion 62 formed on the back surface 60 of the touch pen 50 engages with the concave groove 428. The length of the protruding portion 62 is preferably equal to or shorter than the length of the concave groove 428. For example, the protrusion 62 engages with the concave groove 428 after the tip of the concave groove 58 engages with the protrusion 424.

  Further, the touch pen holding unit 416 may be formed on the right side wall 408 on which the elastic member 410 is formed, but may be provided integrally on a side wall on which the elastic member 410 is not formed.

  The touch pen 50 shown in FIG. 8A includes a plate portion 52, a tip portion 54, a concave groove 58 formed on the side wall surface 56, and a protrusion 62 formed on the back surface 60. The concave groove 58 may be formed from the front end to the rear end of the concave groove 58, but may not be formed at a part of the rear end. A terminal portion of the concave groove 58 serves as a stopper for inserting the touch pen 50. Further, the insertion of the touch pen 50 may be stopped by locking the protrusion 62 in the concave groove 428. The front face 64 of the touch pen 50 preferably forms the same surface as the right side wall 408. Thereby, inadvertent dropping of the touch pen 50 can be prevented. Further, a recess may be formed on the front face 64. The touch pen 50 can be easily taken out by hooking the fingertip into the recess.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a cover case of a modification of the fourth embodiment.
The cover case 400 according to a modification of the fourth embodiment has a touch pen housing recess (touch pen holding space 420) formed on the right side wall 408, and the bottom surface of the housing recess penetrates the fourth embodiment. The form is different. That is, the cover case 400 of the modified example has a hole at the bottom of the housing recess of the side wall (right side wall 408) constituting the frame. A through-hole penetrating in the direction perpendicular to the side wall surface is formed in the right side wall 408 in which the touch pen housing portion is formed. A touch pen 50 is disposed on the engaging portion of the inner wall of the through hole.

  The opening surface of the through hole corresponds to the shape of the back surface 60 of the touch pen 50, and has, for example, a rectangular shape. The back surface 60 of the touch pen 50 forms the same surface as the inner wall surface of the right side wall 408. For this reason, the back surface 60 of the touch pen 50 can hold | maintain the side wall surface of an electronic terminal. In other words, the protrusion 62 of the touch pen 50 can be brought into contact with the right side surface of the electronic terminal. It is also possible to reduce the thickness of the right side wall 408 in which the touch pen housing portion is formed. Moreover, although the edge part of the touch pen 50 may be flat shape, it may have a curved shape along the corner | angular part of an electronic terminal. In any case, the front surface 64 preferably forms the same surface as the outer surface of the side wall of the frame.

  As described above, in the third embodiment and its modifications, the touch pen preferably has a main body having a flat plate structure. When the frame has a bottom plate, the touch pen holding unit 416 may be formed on the bottom plate in the same manner as the right side wall 408.

(Fifth embodiment)
FIG. 10A is a front view of the touch pen. FIG. 10B is a bottom view of the touch pen. FIG.10 (c) is a rear view which shows the cover case of 5th Embodiment. FIG.10 (d) is DD 'sectional drawing of FIG.10 (c). FIG. 10E is a diagram for explaining a usage mode of the cover case of the fifth embodiment.

  The cover case 500 of the fifth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a touch pen holding part 512 is formed on the back surface 502. That is, the frame of the cover case 500 includes a bottom part and side wall parts (upper side wall 516, right side wall 518, lower side wall 520, and left side wall 522) provided integrally with the bottom part. An electronic terminal holding space 514 is formed on the front surface 524 side of the bottom. On the other hand, a touch pen housing recess (touch pen holding portion 512) is formed on the bottom surface 502 side.

  The touch pen holding part 512 shown in FIG. 10C includes a pair of wall parts (wall part 504) and a locking part (protrusion part 508). That is, the wall portion 504 is erected on the back surface 502 of the bottom plate. A touch pen holding space 510 is disposed between the inner wall surfaces 506 of the pair of wall portions. Locking portions (projecting portions 508) for locking the touch pen are formed on the inner wall surfaces 506 of the pair of wall portions.

  In the present embodiment, the wall portion 504 has a U shape in a rear view, but is not limited thereto, and may be a U shape, a V shape, or the like. That is, the wall part 504 should just have a pair of wall part which mutually opposes. This wall part may be comprised by the mutually same member, or may be comprised by another member. The wall portion 504 is preferably formed of a hard member. Thereby, the position of the protrusion 508 can be prevented from shifting, and the touch pen 50 can be efficiently attached to the protrusion 508. The touch pen 50 slides and engages with the protrusion 508 of the hard member.

  The insertion opening 526 of the touch pen 50 is preferably unevenly distributed near the side wall. Thereby, it becomes easy to take out the touch pen 50. The touch pen holding part 512 is preferably formed in a region where the operator's handle does not touch when the operator grips the cover case 500, for example, unevenly distributed on the upper side or the lower side of the back surface 502. Is preferred.

  As shown in FIG. 10E, the cover case 500 is placed on a flat surface such as a table. In this case, the touch pen holding unit 512 is disposed between the back surface 502 and the flat surface of the cover case 500. The arrangement position of the touch pen holding part 512 is unevenly distributed on the upper side wall 516 side. For this reason, the cover case 500 is inclined by the height of the touch pen holding part 512. That is, the touch screen of the electronic terminal attached to the cover case 500 can be used in a state where the touch screen is tilted at a constant angle. The visibility of the touch screen is increased, and the operator's work efficiency can be improved.

  The protrusion 508 shown in FIG. 10D may be formed on the inner wall surface 506 of the wall 504 protruding from the back surface 502, but is not limited to this aspect, and is formed inside the bottom plate of the cover case 500. May be. That is, an opening for accommodating the touch pen is formed in the bottom plate. A protrusion 508 may be formed on the inner wall surface of the opening. The opening reaches the side wall surface (for example, the left side wall 522). Moreover, it is preferable that the front surface 64 of the plate part 52 of the touch pen 50 forms the same surface as the back surface 502 of the bottom plate in a state of being arranged in the opening.

  In the present embodiment, the protrusion 508 may be formed of an elastic member. The touch pen 50 can be fitted into the protrusion 508 of the soft member from the back side. When the touch pen 50 is fitted, the side wall surface 56 of the touch pen 50 is preferably tapered from the back surface 60 toward the concave groove 58. Further, the wall portion 504 is formed with a recess into which the tip end portion 54 is fitted. Thereby, engagement of the touch pen 50 becomes easy.

(Sixth embodiment)
FIG. 11A is a bottom view showing the cover case of the sixth embodiment. FIG.11 (b) is a figure explaining the usage condition of the cover case of 6th Embodiment. FIG. 11C is a perspective view showing the cover case of the sixth embodiment.

  The cover case 600 of the sixth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that an accommodation recess for accommodating the touch pen 70 is formed on the back surface 610. That is, the cover case 600 includes a frame having an electronic terminal housing space (electronic terminal holding space 612) for housing the electronic terminal. The frame has a bottom plate. An accommodation recess (touch pen holding space 614) for accommodating the touch pen 70 is formed on the bottom plate on the back surface 610 side of the frame body. That is, the touch pen holding part is constituted by a housing groove (concave part). In the present embodiment, a slit (inner hole 622) reaching the front side of the bottom surface is formed on the bottom surface (inner wall surface 624) of the housing recess.

  In the present embodiment, the touch pen 70 is housed in the housing recess formed on the back surface 610 side of the bottom plate. When the outer peripheral edge 78 of the touch pen 70 is inserted into the inner hole 622, the touch pen 70 is locked in the housing recess. Further, the outer peripheral edge 78 reaching the opening on the front side of the inner hole 622 is held in contact with the bottom surface of the electronic terminal. Thereby, the touch pen 70 can be locked on the back side without being pulled out to the front side.

  As shown in FIG. 11C, the frame according to the present embodiment includes an upper side wall 602, a left side wall 604, a lower side wall 606, a right side wall 608, and a back surface 610. By being surrounded by these wall portions, an electronic terminal holding space 612 is formed on the front side.

  On the other hand, an accommodation recess (touch pen holding space 614) is formed in the bottom plate on the back surface 610 side. A recess 618 into which an operator's finger enters is formed in the inner wall surface 624 of the housing recess. The radius of curvature of the inner wall surface 616 can be larger than the radius of curvature of the inner wall surface 624. Thereby, it becomes easy to take out the touch pen 70.

  An inner hole 622 may be formed in the inner wall surface 624. The outer peripheral edge 78 of the touch pen 70 is inserted into the inner hole 622. At this time, the interval between the open ends of the protrusions 62 corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the touch pen 70 is slightly wider than the natural state. Thereby, the outer peripheral edge 78 of the touch pen 70 can be engaged with the inner hole 622. As described above, dropping of the touch pen 70 is suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the slit length of the inner hole 622 is preferably the same as the length of the rod 72 of the touch pen 70. By making the bottom plate of the cover case 600 thick, the touch pen 70 can be completely accommodated. Further, the entire back surface 610 is a flat surface, but a part thereof may be a curved surface. In addition, when the accommodation recessed part does not have the inner hole 622 in the bottom face, it is preferable to have another touch pen latching means.

  Needless to say, the above-described embodiment and a plurality of modifications can be combined within a range in which the contents do not conflict with each other. Further, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, the structure of each part has been specifically described, but the structure and the like can be changed in various ways within a range that satisfies the present invention.
