Description

The present invention relates to a holder device that protects a tablet-type mobile terminal device from an impact and the like and can be held by a user with one hand.

As is well known, a tablet-type portable terminal device such as iPad (registered trademark) includes a rectangular display such as a liquid crystal panel provided in front of a board-like case, and is used by a panel touch operation. In addition, the display device includes a detection unit that detects a change in the vertical posture and a horizontal posture of the display, and a display processing unit that changes an image between the vertical display and the horizontal display according to the detected posture. It can be used in either a vertical posture or a horizontal posture.

By the way, in order to prevent the case from being damaged when the user accidentally falls on the floor or collides with a foreign object while carrying or using the tablet-type mobile terminal device, the cover device or the like protects the periphery of the case. Protector devices have been proposed.

Furthermore, when a user uses a tablet-type mobile terminal device, a holder device has been proposed for holding with one hand so that the user can easily use the device.

JP 2013-242870 A Utility Model Registration No. 3170234

A conventional cover device or protector device is configured to cover the case of a tablet-type mobile terminal device from the entire periphery. However, tablet-type mobile terminal devices have different case sizes depending on the manufacturer, and in recent years, even with tablet-type mobile terminal devices from the same manufacturer, the case size differs depending on the model, so the cover device also has a different size. There is a problem that it cannot be installed unless a plurality of sizes corresponding to is provided.

In addition, the conventional holder device is provided with a gripping means for gripping the peripheral edge of the case so as not to drop off from the case of the tablet-type mobile terminal device. However, the gripping means is formed to be hard so that it can be firmly attached by fitting, and there is a problem that the periphery of the case is strongly rubbed and damaged during attachment and removal. Moreover, it is necessary to provide a plurality of sizes corresponding to products of different sizes as described above.

The present invention includes a protector that can be freely mounted even when the size of the tablet-type mobile terminal device is different, and by using the protector, the case cannot be removed without damaging the case of the tablet-type mobile terminal device. Provided is a holder device having hand-holding means that can be attached in a simple state.

Therefore, the present invention is configured as a means, a rectangular display provided in front of the board-shaped case, a detection means for detecting a change in posture between the vertical orientation and the horizontal orientation of the display, and the detection A holder device for a tablet-type portable terminal device having display processing means for changing an image between portrait display and landscape display according to a posture, and the holder device is a protector fitted around the periphery of the case; The first protector and the second protector are configured to be separated from each other in a state of being fitted on a peripheral edge of the case . Each of the protector and the second protector is formed by integrally molding two pads and elastic cords that interconnect the connected portions of both pads with an elastic material. In the state where the elastic cord of each protector is extended on the back of the case, two pads are externally fitted to two corners of the four corners of the case, and each pad is applied by the elastic contraction force of the elastic cord. Is attached to the corner of the case in a non-detachable elastic contact state, and the hand-held holding means is provided in a arch shape on the disk body disposed in the center of the back surface of the case. a holding means that is, the comprises a locking means for disengageably locking in a state where the elastic rope was further extended, with respect to the direction of the height distance H away from the back of the case, the communication An installation portion is arranged at the lower end of the height distance H, and the locking means is arranged at the upper end of the height distance H, and by the contraction force of the elastic cord, To the point that the board is configured to elastically contact the back of the case That.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the disc body of the handheld holding means is constituted by a holding plate provided with the holding means and a rotating plate rotatably connected to the holding plate, and the engaging plate is connected to the rotating plate. The rotating plate is attached to the back surface of the case, and the rotating plate is elastically brought into contact with the back surface of the case by the contraction force of the elastic cable, and is placed in the user's hand. With the holding plate held, the case can be changed in posture between the vertical posture and the horizontal posture through rotation of the rotating plate.

Each of the first protector and the second protector constituting the protector makes the elastic cords of the first protector and the second protector parallel to each other by fitting the pad to the adjacent corners of the four corners of the case. The elastic state of the first protector and the second protector are crossed with each other by fitting the mounting state by the “opposing mounting method” facing each other and the corners of the four corners of the case facing diagonally opposite sides. The two mounting methods of “cross-type mounting method” are selected so as to be selectable and mounted on the case .

According to the present invention, the first protector 1a and the second protector are formed by integrally molding the two pads 6, 6 and the elastic rope 7 that interconnects the connecting portions 11 of the pads 6, 6 with the elastic material. 1b is provided, and each protector 1a, 1b has the elastic cord 7 in a state where the pads 6 , 6 are externally fitted to two corners of the four corners of the case 2 of the tablet portable terminal device 1. Each pad 6 is attached to the corner of the case 2 so as not to fall off by the elastic contraction force of the elastic rope 7 extended against the elasticity while facing the back surface of the case 2. It is configured as follows. For this reason , since the protector 4 is externally fitted to the corner of the case 2 in the tablet-type mobile terminal device 1, even when it is accidentally dropped on the floor or collided with a foreign object, the corner is prevented from being damaged. be able to.

In the state where the first protector 4a and the second protector 4b are externally fitted to the peripheral edge of the case 2 as described above , when the hand-held holding means 5 is mounted, the first protector 4a and the second protector 4b which are separated from each other. can be further RiSo wearing by the elastic rope 7, 7 is extended to disengageably locking the locking means 14 between the connecting portions 11, 11.

Moreover, since the holding means 5 is elastically brought into contact with the back surface of the case 2 by the contraction force of the elastic rope 7, there is no need to provide a gripping means that may damage the surface of the case 2 as in the prior art. In addition, the hand-held holding means 5 can be stably and firmly fixed, and there is an effect that it is possible to suitably meet the needs for operating the tablet type portable terminal device 1 while holding it with one hand.
