Description

  The present invention relates to a portable device holder, and more particularly to a detachable clip thereof.

  An example of a belt hook of a conventional portable device holder is shown in FIGS. A pair of locking rails 11b and 11b are erected on the back surface 11a of the holder main body 11 shown in FIGS. A lever 11c extends upward so as to be continuous with the back surface 11a. The lever 11c is formed with a locking projection 11d.

  A belt hook 12 that is attached to and detached from the holder main body 11 grips the belt by the elasticity of the resin. The belt hook 12 is formed in a U shape so that the suppressor is folded back from the base that is in close contact with the holder main body 11. A locking recess is formed to engage with the projection 11d. This locking recess is not visible in FIGS.

  The direction of movement of the belt hook 12 relative to the holder body 11 when the belt hook 12 is attached to the holder body 11 is indicated by an arrow in FIG. That is, the belt hook 12 is moved upward after being brought into close contact with the holder main body 11 at a position where the sliding portions 12a, 12a do not overlap the locking rails 11b, 11b.

  Then, the sliding portions 12a and 12a are engaged with the locking rails 11b and 11b by the upward movement, and the belt hook 12 pushes the locking projection 11d to elastically deform the lever 11c. The lever 11c is once elastically deformed and then returned to its original position, and the lock projection 11d of the holder body 11 and the lock recess of the belt hook 12 are engaged to be in a locked state.

  The direction of movement of the belt hook 12 relative to the holder body 11 when the belt hook 12 is removed from the holder body 11 is indicated by an arrow on the lower side of FIG. Further, the direction in which the lever 11c is elastically deformed at that time is indicated by an upper arrow.

  The procedure for removing the belt hook 12 from the holder body 11 will be described. The lever 11c is elastically deformed in the direction of the arrow to release the engagement between the lock projection 11d of the holder body 11 and the lock recess of the belt hook 12. The belt hook 12 is lowered and removed from the holder body 11.

  The conventional belt hook shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is used only in a posture in which the holder main body 11 when mounted on the belt holds the portable device in a direction perpendicular to the belt. However, depending on the place of use and the posture of the user, it may be more convenient to use a portable device such as a portable wireless device in a direction other than a direction perpendicular to the belt, and this requirement is satisfied. I could not.

  When the belt hook 12 is removed, the lever 11c of the holder body 11 is elastically deformed in the direction of the portable device held by the holder body 11, so that the holder body 11 is held by the belt hook while the holder body 11 is held. The holder body 11 could not be removed from the belt hook 12, and it was troublesome to attach and detach the holder body 11 to and from the belt hook 12.

  In the structure of the portable device and the detachable clip disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-243757, the base that is attached to and detached from the portable device while supporting the clip piece in a certain posture is in a certain and constant direction with respect to the portable device. Since it is attached and detached, the portable device is held only in the direction parallel to the clip. That is, the portable device is used only in a posture perpendicular to the belt.

  In addition, the structure of this detachable clip requires a large number of parts such as a base, a pin that rotatably supports the click piece, a spring that urges the click piece, and a detachable operation member that locks and unlocks the base to the portable device. As a result, there is a problem that the number of parts is large and the number of assembling steps is also large. Further, when the base is unlocked with respect to the portable device, there is a problem that it is difficult to perform the unlocking operation because both sides of the attaching / detaching operation member must be lifted in parallel.

  In the clip attaching / detaching device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-25495, a square clip seat can be inserted into a groove of a pedestal provided in the mobile station main body from two directions. Can hold in the direction. However, the clip is pivotally connected to the pedestal by a shaft, and a spring for urging the shaft and the clip is required, resulting in a problem that the number of parts is large and the number of assembling steps is increased. In addition, when the clip seat is unlocked with respect to the pedestal fixed to the portable device, there is a problem in that it is difficult to perform the unlocking operation because a leaf spring at a low position has to be pushed.

  The mounting clip for a portable device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2878444 is provided with a square guided member on the back surface of a pedestal that rotatably supports a clip piece, and this guided member is provided on a pager. It can be inserted into the mounting notch from two directions. After the guided member is mounted, the open side of the mounting notch is closed with the battery cover.

  In this portable device mounting clip, the pager can be mounted in four directions with respect to the belt held by the clip piece. However, many parts such as a pin for rotatably supporting the clip piece and a spring for urging the clip piece are required, resulting in a large number of parts and a large number of assembly steps.

  Further, in order to remove the clip piece from the pager, it is necessary to remove the battery cover from the pager, and there is a problem that the removal of the clip piece is troublesome.

The detachable clip device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3036518 can insert and remove the clip plate supporting the clip member from the clip receiving seat on the back surface of the leather case holding the portable radio device from three directions. Therefore, the direction of the portable wireless device with respect to the belt held by the clip piece can be changed. However, many parts such as a shaft for rotatably supporting the clip piece and a spring for urging the clip piece are required, resulting in a large number of parts and a large number of assembly steps.

  Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to examples.

  FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a clip in a detachable clip of a portable device holder according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 1B is a perspective view of the clip as viewed from the back side. 2 to 7 are perspective views showing the assembled state of the removable clip of the portable device holder. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the clip 1 in the assembled state, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a method of removing the clip from the same assembled state.

  The clip 2 of the embodiment is shown in detail in FIGS. 1, 8 and 9. The clip 2 is used by being mounted on a holder body 1 shown in detail in FIG. That is, the detachable clip of the embodiment is composed of only two parts.

  First, the clip 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 8, and 9. The clip 2 is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross-section in which the suppressor plate 2c is folded back from the base 2a. In FIG. 2 to FIG. 7, the suppression plate 2 c is shown in a cutout state.

  An elastically deformable knob 2d extending from the base 2a to the U-shaped folded portion is formed at the center of the clip 2 by a U-shaped notch. Since the knob 2d is a cantilever and has a small width, it can be easily deformed upward in FIG.

  Sliding parts 2b and 2b are formed on both ends of the upper left end of the base 2a shown in FIG. 1 (b). A base-side protrusion 2f and a suppressor-side protrusion 2g for holding the belt so as to face each other protrude from the tips of the base 2a and the suppressor 2c. A locking recess 2e is formed at the proximal end of the knob 2d.

  Next, the holder body 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The clip 2 is attached to the holder main body 1 so that the base 2a of the clip 2 is in close contact with the upper back surface 1a of the portion where the portable device located on the lower side in FIGS.

  Locking rails 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e having substantially inverted L-shaped pieces are erected on the back surface 1a of the holder body 1. The locking rails 1b and 1c and the locking rails 1d and 1e form a pair so as to extend in parallel. In this example, the locking rails 1b and 1c and the locking rails 1d and 1e extend in a direction orthogonal to each other.

  And a pair of convex parts 1f and 1g are formed in the position remove | deviated from the locking rails 1b and 1c, and a pair of convex parts 1h and 1j are formed in the position removed from the locking rails 1d and 1e. Further, a locking projection 1k is formed between the convex portions 1f, 1g, and a locking projection 1m is formed between the convex portions 1h, 1j.

  A method of mounting the above-described clip 2 on the holder body 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 show a mounting state in which the clip 2 is in an assembled state in which the 2 is parallel to the holder body 1.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, the clip 2 is positioned so that the sliding portions 2b and 2b are disengaged from the locking rails 1b and 1c, and moved as indicated by the arrows. Adhere to la. Thereafter, when the clip 2 is moved as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 3, the sliding portions 2b and 2b are locked to the locking rails 1b and 1c.

  Note that the portion of the clip 2 away from the knob 2d is a portion that holds the belt, and is more rigid than the knob 2d. In a state in which a clip 2 (to be described later) is locked to the holder body 1 on the side surface of the base 2a of this portion, the projecting portions 1f and 1g are engaged, and the locked clip 2 is in cooperation with the locking rails 1b and 1c. The twist with respect to the holder main body 1 is regulated.

  In this way, the sliding portions 2b and 2b of the clip 2 are moved until the corners of the holding rails 1b and 1c of the holder body 1 come into contact with the end surfaces of the guide grooves, and the mounting state shown in FIGS. . In this state, the belt is held between the base-side protrusion 2f and the suppression plate-side protrusion 2g, but the rigidity of the clip 2 is large and the clip 2 holds the belt firmly.

  Further, the base of the clip 2 sandwiched between the convex portions 1 f and 1 g of the holder main body 1 is restricted so as not to twist with respect to the holder main body 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the locking projection 1 k of the holder body 1 enters the locking recess 2 e formed on the knob 2 d of the clip 2, and the clip 2 is locked to the holder body 1. The knob 2d is once elastically deformed at the time of mounting and then returned to its original position so that the locking projection 1k enters the locking recess 2e.

  A method of removing the clip 2 attached to the holder main body 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the knob 2d of the clip 2 in the locked state is bent upward with a finger to remove the locking recess 2e from the locking protrusion 1k, and the clip 2 is moved in the direction opposite to that at the time of mounting. The clip 2 can be removed from the holder body 1.

  At this time, since the knob 2d of the clip 2 is bent in the opposite direction to the portable device inserted in the holder main body 1, the holder main body 1 can be detached from the clip 2 while holding the portable device on the holder main body 1. Similarly, the holder body 1 holding the portable device can be attached to the clip 2. Further, since the knob 2 is formed as a cantilever and can have an appropriate rigidity, the holder body 1 can be easily detached from the clip 2.

  5 to 7 show a mounting state in which the clip 2 is assembled in a state 2 in which the clip 2 is orthogonal to the holder body 1. The initial state, intermediate state, and final state of mounting in this case are shown in FIGS.

  In the assembled state of 2, the sliding portions 2b and 2b of the clip 2 are locked and slid by the locking rails 1d and 1e orthogonal to the locking rails 1b and 1c of the holder body 1. Then, the sliding portion 2b of the clip 2 is moved until the corner of the clip 2 comes into contact with the end surface of the guide groove of the locking rail 1d of the holder body 1, and the mounting state shown in FIG. At this time, the locking protrusion 1 m enters the locking recess 2 e formed on the knob 2, and the clip 2 is locked to the holder body 1.

  The clip 2 and the holder body 1 are unlocked by pushing up the knob 2d of the clip 2 with a finger, and the clip 2 can be easily removed from the holder body 1 in the same manner as in the assembled state 1. Also in this case, the holder body 1 can be detached from the clip 2 while the portable device is held on the holder body 1.

  In this example, only two parts of the holder main body 1 and the clip 2 are used, the number of parts is small, and the assembling process is unnecessary if the clip 2 is attached to the holder main body 1 during use. .

  The embodiment is configured as described above, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, two pairs of locking rails of the holder body may be arranged at an inclination angle, and the portable device may be attached to the belt to be inclined. Also good.

  Since the detachable clip of the portable device holder of the present invention can easily change the posture of attaching the portable device to the belt, it can be suitably used for a portable wireless device.
