Description

  The present invention relates to a case for a portable information terminal that detachably attaches and protects a portable information terminal such as a smartphone or a mobile phone.

Since a portable information terminal that is easy to carry is always carried and used by a user, a situation in which the outer surface or the like of the portable information terminal is damaged by dropping it from the hand or the like can always occur. Therefore, for the purpose of alleviating the impact from the outside that damages the portable information terminal, it has a shape that can be mounted on the outer surface of the portable information terminal without any gap, and for imaging with different positions for each portable information terminal A portable information terminal case having a lens hole matched to a lens is used.

  However, in recent years, the cycle for each company to introduce new portable information terminals into the market has become shorter. As a result, the period during which a user owns a portable information terminal tends to be shortened, so that each time a portable information terminal is replaced, the trouble of having to replace the portable information terminal case has arisen. It was.

  For this reason, there has been a demand for a portable information terminal case that can also be used for portable information terminals with different external shapes. However, since the imaging lens differs for each portable information terminal, a lens hole is formed as in the conventional case. In such a portable information terminal case, the camera function cannot be used through the lens hole.

  Therefore, a portable information terminal case according to the present invention as means for solving the above-mentioned problems is composed of left and right pieces connected in the horizontal direction, and the front face is opened from the state where the front of the left and right pieces is opened. A case body formed so as to be able to be folded in two so as to face each other, a frame body having a rectangular recess at the center of one of the left and right pieces, and a length in the vertical direction than the recess Is formed with a terminal holding portion having a slide plate fitted into the recess, and guide grooves having notches on the inner surface are formed on the left and right inner surfaces of the recess. A guide plate portion extending outward is formed on the left and right outer surfaces of the plate. The guide plate portion includes a protrusion protruding from the surface facing the notch, and an inner portion of the protrusion. Formed in The slide plate is slidable in the longitudinal direction along the front surface in a state where the guide plate portion is inserted into the guide groove, and is in a fixed position. The protrusion can be fixed by being fitted into the notch.

  In the present invention, the notch may be formed on a side rear end surface of the guide groove, and the protrusion may protrude outward from a side surface of the guide plate portion.

The portable information terminal case thus configured is provided with the terminal holding portion in front of one of the left and right side portions of the case body, and the slide plate that slides vertically in the frame body. The portable information terminal can be used by sticking and storing the portable information terminal on an adhesive plate provided on the surface of the, and opening the left and right pieces. For example, when the camera function is used, the camera function is used by exposing the imaging lens from the outer edge of the case body by moving the slide plate in the vertical direction. The portable information terminal case can be carried by returning to the fixed position and closing the left and right side portions.

Further, the guide plate portion of the slide plate is fitted into the guide groove provided in the recess in the frame body, so that the slide plate can be slid in the vertical direction stably. Further, by providing the notch that engages with the protrusion formed on the slide plate in the concave portion, the slide plate can be temporarily fixed at a fixed position.

Further, the spring structure formed integrally with the projecting portion formed on the slide plate and the gap portion formed on the inner portion of the projecting portion can be configured with a simple structure. Therefore, since an external spring component is not required, the durability of sliding and temporary fixing can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  In the present invention, the portable information terminal is moved in the vertical direction while being held in the case body, so that the imaging lens provided in the portable information terminal is exposed to the outside from the outer edge portion of the case body. Since it can be used, it can be used as the portable information terminal case for protecting the portable information terminal regardless of the installation position of the imaging lens.

  In addition, the terminal holding portion can be formed thin while the slide plate is fitted in the concave portion formed in the frame body, and the slide plate includes a mechanism capable of sliding up and down. .

  Further, the protrusion and the notch are engaged with each other using the spring structure, so that the temporary fixing of the slide plate at a fixed position can be easily performed.

  Further, the slide plate can be stably slid without being detached from the frame body by the guide plate portion inserted into the guide groove of the recess.

  In addition, since the structure can be simplified by integrally molding the spring structure with the slide plate, the spring structure can be prevented from being damaged with respect to the repeated operation of the slide plate.

  Further, since the number of components formed by integral molding of the spring structure and the slide plate can be reduced, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
