Description

  The present invention relates to a protective structure, and more particularly to a protective structure for a portable electronic device.

  Efforts are being made to further reduce the thickness of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, media players, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Portable electronic devices will be damaged if they collide or rub against external objects during use. For this reason, various protective cases and protective covers used to protect portable electronic devices have been created. However, in the conventional protective case used for protecting the portable electronic device, there is a problem that inconvenience increases when the user uses it because it is necessary to perform locking with screws using a separate tool.

  The present invention provides a protective structure for a portable electronic device that eliminates inconvenience in use in a conventional protective case used for protecting the portable electronic device.

  A protection structure for a portable electronic device according to the present invention includes a protection unit and a connection unit. The protection unit includes at least one first protection frame and at least one second protection frame. Here, the portable electronic device is placed between at least one first protection frame and at least one second protection frame. The connection unit includes at least one connection member slidably provided between the at least one first protection frame and the at least one second protection frame. Here, the at least one first protection frame and the at least one second protection frame are both positioned on the portable electronic device via at least one connection member.

  The effect of the present invention is that the protective structure according to the present invention includes “at least one connecting member provided slidably between at least one first protective frame and at least one second protective frame”. According to the design, at least one first protective frame and at least one second protective frame are both configured to be positioned on the portable electronic device via at least one connecting member. The inconvenience in use in the conventional protective case used for protecting the electronic device can be effectively eliminated.

(First embodiment)
As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a protective structure Z for a portable electronic device 1. Here, the portable electronic device 1 includes a front surface 100, a back surface 101 corresponding to the front surface 100, a surrounding surface 102 positioned between the front surface 100 and the back surface 101, and a front surface Front side surrounding edge 103 connected between 100 and surrounding side surface 102, and back side surrounding edge connected between back side surface 101 and surrounding side surface 102 and corresponding to front side surrounding edge 103 Part 104 is included. The protection structure Z includes a protection unit 2 and a connection unit 3. Further, the protection unit 2 includes at least one first protection frame 21 corresponding to the front side surrounding edge 103 of the portable electronic device 1 and at least one corresponding to the rear side surrounding edge 104 of the portable electronic device 1. A second protection frame 22 is included. Here, the portable electronic device 1 is placed between the first protective frame 21 and the second protective frame 22 in order to mitigate the breakage that occurs when the portable electronic device 1 is subjected to an external force impact. . The connection unit 3 includes at least one connection member 30 slidably provided between the first protection frame 21 and the second protection frame 22. Here, the first protection frame 21 and the second protection frame 22 are stably positioned on the portable electronic device 1 by using the connection member 30.

  For example, when the user intends to protect the portable electronic device 1 (for example, any smartphone having a touch function) by using the protection structure Z of the present invention, the portable electronic device 1 is first attached to the first protective frame. 21 and the second protective frame 22 (see FIGS. 1A and 1B), and then the connecting member 30 is placed between the first protective frame 21 and the second protective frame 22 so as to slide. And locked (see FIGS. 1B and 1C). Therefore, according to the present invention, the first protective frame 21 and the second protective frame 22 are respectively connected to the front side surrounding edge 103 of the portable electronic device 1 by the action of the connection unit 30 and the locking and fixing. It is stably positioned on the back side surrounding edge 104.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 2 to 5, the protection unit 2 is provided at least between the inner edge portion 2100 of the first protection frame 21 and the front side surrounding edge portion 103 of the portable electronic device 1. One first surrounding buffer pad 23, at least one second surrounding buffer provided between the inner edge 2200 of the second protective frame 22 and the rear side surrounding edge 104 of the portable electronic device 1. And a pad 24. Here, each of the first surrounding buffer pad 23 and the second surrounding buffer pad 24 may be a continuous surrounding buffer pad. More specifically, the first protective frame 21 has a predetermined distance from the portable electronic device 1 by providing the first surrounding buffer pad 23. Similarly, the second protective frame 22 By providing the second surrounding buffer pad 24, the portable electronic device 1 is placed at a predetermined distance.

  Therefore, when the portable electronic device 1 falls from a high place or collides with a hard object, the first go-shaped device can effectively mitigate the damage that occurs when the portable electronic device 1 is subjected to an external force impact. The buffer pad 23 and the second surrounding buffer pad 24 provide a predetermined buffer effect. In other words, according to the present invention, a combination of the first protective frame 21 having the first surrounding buffer pad 23 described above and the second protective frame 22 having the second surrounding buffer pad 24 described above. Thus, the portable electronic device 1 can obtain an optimal protection effect. In addition, the protection unit 2 is provided with the first surrounding buffer pad 23 and the second surrounding buffer pad 24, so that the portable electronic device 1 has the first protection frame 21 and the second protection frame 22. It is also possible to effectively solve the problem that the communication capability is reduced due to direct contact.
