However, the terminal holder 1 preferably sandwiches the ring finger 24, the little finger 25, and the pinched portion 3, and is positioned at the lower part of the mobile terminal, specifically, the lowest position when the mobile terminal is divided into three in the vertical direction. It is preferable to attach it to the area to be used. The terminal holder 1 may be directly attached to the lower part of the mobile terminal 10A.

Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show a state when the terminal storage case 10 is horizontally placed on the floor surface F. The terminal storage case 10 is defined with a first contact portion 11 and a second contact portion 12 provided at a position different from that of the first contact portion 11. A non-slip material is attached to the first contact portion 11. The second contact portion 12 is adjacent to the first contact portion 11 and is a region indicated by the alternate long and short dash line. The first contact portion 11 may partially overlap with the second contact portion 12. The first contact portion 11 and the second contact portion 12 indicate an approximate area to which the terminal contact portion 42 abuts when the terminal storage case 10 is placed on the floor surface F, and the positions and shapes thereof are defined.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the terminal storage case 10 is placed horizontally on the floor surface F, the floor contact portion 41 comes into contact with the floor surface F and the terminal contact portion 42 comes into contact with the first contact portion 11. The terminal storage case 10 is maintained in an inclined state. In FIG. 5A, as shown in FIG. 4, the floor contact portion 41 has a floor at two locations, a first projection 41A and a region where the floor contact portion 41 advances clockwise from the floor contact portion 41 in the circumferential direction. Along with contacting the surface F, the terminal contact portion 42 hits the first contact portion 11 at two locations, a second projection 42A and a region extending clockwise from the terminal contact portion 42 in the circumferential direction. I'm in contact. At this time, the sandwiched portion 3 is in a twisted state due to tension.

In the state shown in FIG. 5B, the floor contact portion 41 is formed on the floor surface F at two locations, the first protrusion 41A and the region extending counterclockwise from the floor contact portion 41 in the circumferential direction. At the same time, the terminal contact portion 42 abuts on the first contact portion 11 at two points, the second protrusion 42A and the region extending counterclockwise from the terminal contact portion 42 in the circumferential direction. There is. In other words, FIG. 5B shows a state in which the holding portion 4 is rotated by a predetermined angle in the clockwise direction from the state shown in FIG. At this time, the sandwiched portion 3 is not twisted, and the upper side of the sandwiched portion 3 is loosened and tension is applied to the lower side.

As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 5B, the first virtual triangle T1 is formed as a triangle abc by the floor surface F, the terminal storage case 10, and the holding portion 4. The triangle cde second virtual triangle T2 is formed by the holding portion 4, the upper portion of the terminal storage case 10, and the upper portion of the holding portion 4. At this time, since the point e is located at the lower part of the side ac, the holding portion 4 can stably support the terminal storage case 10. Therefore, when the terminal holder 1 is attached to the bottom surface of the terminal storage case 10, it is desirable to attach the terminal holder 1 to a position closer to the left-right direction from the center. At this time, a certain tension is applied to the sandwiched portion 3. Specifically, tension is applied to one side of the sandwiched portion 3 in the width direction (left-right direction), and the other side is loosened. Since the held portion 3 is in a state where tension is applied, the holding portion 4 can be maintained in an inclined state of the terminal storage case 10 without being separated from the terminal storage case 10. By forming the second virtual triangle T2 having the sandwiched portion 3 as a side, the first virtual triangle T1 is stabilized, so that the terminal storage case 10 can be maintained in an inclined state.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the terminal storage case 10 is vertically placed on the floor surface F, the floor contact portion 41 comes into contact with the floor surface F and the terminal contact portion 42 comes into contact with the second contact portion 12. The terminal storage case 10 is maintained in an inclined state. The third virtual triangle T3 is formed by the triangle fgh indicated by the alternate long and short dash line on the floor surface F, the terminal storage case 10, and the holding portion 4. At the same time, the fourth virtual triangle T4 is formed by the triangle fhi indicated by the alternate long and short dash line between the sandwiched portion 3, the lower portion of the terminal storage case 10, and the upper portion of the holding portion 4. The fourth virtual triangle T4 is configured to be orthogonal to the opposite side from the apex of the third virtual triangle T3.

In the vertical installation state, the sandwiched portion 3 is positioned so as to extend from the point f toward the side hg. In other words, the sandwiched portion 3 extends from the lower end portion of the terminal storage case 10. As a result, the holding portion 4 can stably support the terminal storage case 10. When attaching the terminal holder 1 of the terminal storage case 10, it is most desirable to attach it to the lower end portion. Since the area of the fourth virtual triangle T4 is larger than that of the third virtual triangle T3, the vertical placement is more stable than the horizontal placement. At this time, a certain tension is applied to the sandwiched portion 3. Since the held portion 3 is in a state where tension is applied, the holding portion 4 can be maintained in an inclined state of the terminal storage case 10 without being separated from the terminal storage case 10. By forming the fourth virtual triangle T4 having the sandwiched portion 3 as a side, the third virtual triangle T3 is stabilized, so that the terminal storage case 10 can be maintained in an inclined state.

Next, a method of holding the mobile terminal using the terminal holder 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. The mobile terminal 10A is housed in the terminal storage case 10 to which the terminal holder 1 is attached. The user grips the mobile terminal with the thumb 21, the index finger 22, and the middle finger 23, and while the ring finger 24 supports the back surface of the mobile terminal, the ring finger 24 and the little finger 25 hold the sandwiched portion 3. At this time, the user is holding the sandwiched portion 3 between the ring finger 24 and the little finger 25 from the front-back direction by the method shown in FIG. The user supports the back surface of the mobile terminal with the index finger 22, the middle finger 23, and the ring finger 24, holds the held portion 3 between the ring finger 14 and the little finger 25, and the ring finger 24 and the little finger 25 hit the holding portion 4. By touching, the mobile terminal is fixed on the palm.

The user operates the mobile terminal 10A with the thumb 21. Since the center of gravity G of the mobile terminal works from substantially the center to the bottom, the mobile terminal can be stably held by the index finger 22, the middle finger 23, and the ring finger 24. That is, since the mobile terminal is held by the ring finger 24 and the little finger 25 at the fulcrum S away from the center of gravity G, the vicinity of the center of gravity G is supported by a plurality of fingers to stably hold the mobile terminal by using its own weight. be able to. Here, the fulcrum S is a fulcrum where the terminal holder 1 supports the mobile terminal, and is located at the lower end of the mobile terminal. That is, the fulcrum S can be arranged at the lower end of the mobile terminal by attaching the terminal holder 1 to the lower end of the mobile terminal 10A and holding the terminal holder 1 with the ring finger 24 and the little finger 25.

When the user wants to perform other work while holding the mobile terminal 10A, he / she separates the index finger 22 and the middle finger 23 supporting the back surface of the mobile terminal 10A from the mobile terminal 10A, as shown in FIG. , The mobile terminal 10A rotates counterclockwise around the ring finger 24 under its own weight. At this time, the held portion 3 is sandwiched between the ring finger 24 and the little finger 25, and the ring finger 24 and the little finger 25 are in contact with the holding portion 4. As a result, the user can perform other work with a finger other than the ring finger 24 and the little finger 25 without taking the mobile terminal 10A away from the hand. When operating the mobile terminal 10A again, use recoil or rotate the terminal storage case 10 clockwise around the ring finger 24 with the other hand to bring the terminal storage case 10 into the state shown in FIG. 7 again.

According to such a configuration, the mobile terminal 10A or the terminal storage case 10 is placed horizontally by bringing the terminal contact portion 42 into contact with the first contact portion 11 and the floor contact portion 41 in contact with the floor surface F. can do. Further, the mobile terminal 10A or the terminal storage case 10 can be vertically placed by bringing the terminal contact portion 42 into contact with the second contact portion 12 and the floor contact portion 41 in contact with the floor surface F. As a result, the mobile terminal 10A or the terminal storage case 10 can be placed horizontally or vertically with one holding unit 4. Further, since the holding portion 4 is provided at the end of the sandwiched portion 3 sandwiched between the fingers, it is possible to prevent the fingers sandwiching the sandwiched portion 3 from falling off. Further, since the holding portion 4 that supports the finger when holding the mobile terminal 10A also serves as a member that supports the mobile terminal 10A or the terminal storage case 10 when it is placed on the floor surface F, the number of parts is reduced for manufacturing. The cost can be suppressed.

According to such a configuration, the floor contact portion 41 is in contact with the floor surface F and the terminal contact portion 42 is in contact with the first contact portion 11 in a state where tension is applied to the sandwiched portion 3. The sandwiched portion 3 can be used as a support to maintain the mobile terminal 10A or the terminal storage case 10 in a horizontally placed state. Further, since the sandwiched portion 3 has flexibility, the angle of the mobile terminal 10A can be set to an arbitrary position by finely adjusting the position of the terminal contact portion 42.
