Description

  The present invention relates to a case for a portable information terminal.

  In recent years, portable information terminals such as mobile phones, so-called smart phones (multifunctional mobile phones), and tablet-type terminals have become widespread. Conventionally, various techniques have been proposed for cases in which such a portable information terminal is protected from an impact caused by dropping or the portable information terminal is stored and carried. For example, Patent Document 1 described below describes a technology for holding a smartphone by providing a clip on a smartphone case and sandwiching it in a pocket of clothing. A number of technologies have also been proposed that allow a carrying case such as a mobile phone to be carried by being sandwiched between a waist belt or a pocket of a bag.

Utility Model Registration No. 3170182

  Smartphones and tablet terminals generally have a flat plate shape, and have a touch panel on the surface (front surface), and can perform various operations such as information input and search using the touch panel. Since these portable information terminals are used in various ways depending on the user, there are various convenient forms of cases depending on the scene in which they are used. In any use situation, it is desired that the portable information terminal (touch panel) can be stably operated while the case body is attached to the protective cover. However, the case of such a portable information terminal has not been conventionally considered.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a portable information terminal case that can stably operate the portable information terminal.

In order to solve at least a part of the above-described problems, the present invention employs the following configuration.
The present invention is a portable information terminal case,
The portable information terminal has a flat shape and a touch panel on the front surface of the portable information terminal,
The portable information terminal case is:
A case body into which a side surface and a back surface of the portable information terminal are fitted;
A protective cover to which the case body is attached;
The case main body is provided with a hook for attaching to the protective cover on the back of the case main body,
The protective cover includes a hook portion on which the hook is hooked on the inner surface of the protective cover;
In the case body, the hook is located at a position within 1/6 from both side surfaces of the case body with respect to the width of the case body in a direction perpendicular to the hooking direction to the hook portion. The gist of the present invention is that the both ends of each are positioned.

  Here, “immobility” means that the hook is fixed to the back surface of the case body. For example, the hook may be integrally formed on the back surface of the case body, or a component prepared separately from the case body may be fixed to the back surface by bonding, screwing, or other methods. .

According to the present invention, both ends of the hook for attaching the case main body into which the portable information terminal is fitted to the protective cover are located within 1/6 of the width of the case main body from both side surfaces of the case main body. It is provided to come. For example, a single hook that is wide enough to reach both ends may be formed on the back surface of the case, or two or more hooks may be provided on the back surface of the case, and both ends or the outside of the hook may be in such a position. It may be made to become.
Even when the case body is tilted slightly, the inclination of the case body is suppressed by forming a hook at a position away from the symmetry axis of the case body, considering that the tilt is a large displacement near both sides of the case body. It is effective to do. In the present invention, since both ends of the hook are formed in the vicinity of both side surfaces of the case main body, that is, at positions away from the symmetry axis, the case main body is stably attached to the protective cover while suppressing the inclination. be able to. Therefore, according to the present invention, the touch panel of the portable information terminal can be stably operated.

  The portable information terminal case of the present invention has a relatively simple configuration in which a hook provided on the back surface of the case main body is hooked on a hook portion provided on a protective cover. Therefore, the case main body in which the portable information terminal is fitted can be used by being removed from the protective cover. By being detachable as described above, the portable information terminal can be used in various modes with or without a protective cover, and convenience can be improved.

  In the present invention, the number of hooks provided on the back surface of the case body may be one or plural. When there are a plurality of hooks, the “both ends of the hook” means the outer ends of the hooks arranged on one end side and the outer ends of the hooks arranged on the other end side. To do. These hooks may be provided symmetrically or asymmetrical.

In the portable information terminal case of the present invention,
In the direction perpendicular to the hooking direction to the hook portion, the width of the hook may be wider than 2/3 of the width of the case body. That is, this is an aspect in which a wide hook is provided.

Even in such a case, since both ends of the hook are located 1/6 or less from both ends of the case body, the case body can be attached stably.
In addition, when using such a wide hook, it is easier to attach and detach to the protective cover than when using a plurality of hooks, and the strength of the hook itself can be improved. Even if it does, there exists an advantage that the lifetime can be improved.
The wide hook in the above-described aspect may be formed symmetrically in the center of the case body, or may be formed in an asymmetric position.

In the portable information terminal case of the present invention,
The width of the hook and the width of the hooking portion may be substantially equal.

By doing so, the degree of freedom of the inclination of the hook with respect to the hooking portion is suppressed, so that the inclination of the case body with respect to the protective cover can be suppressed.
The width of the hook and the width of the hooking portion do not necessarily have to be equal throughout the entire hook, but may be equal in the widest portion of the hook. For example, when using a taper-shaped hook that becomes thinner at the tip, the width of the hooking portion may be made substantially equal at the widest portion near the base of the hook. By doing so, the case body can be easily attached and detached while stably holding the case body.

In the portable information terminal case of the present invention,
At least one of the hook and the hooking portion may be provided in a plurality in line in the hooking direction of the hook.
For example, when the hook is formed so that the portable information terminal is hooked on the hook portion from the top downward, a mode in which a plurality of hooks or hook portions are arranged in the vertical direction is applicable. Moreover, when forming a hook so that a portable information terminal may be hooked on a hook part in the left-right direction, a mode in which a plurality of hooks or hook parts are arranged in the left-right direction is applicable.

  By doing so, the relative positional relationship between the case body and the case when the case body is attached to the protective cover can be flexibly changed depending on which hook and hooking part is used to hook. Therefore, user convenience can be improved.

In the portable information terminal case,
A plurality of hooks and hooks may be provided at positions where they are hooked simultaneously.
For example, when the hook is formed so that the portable information terminal is hooked on the hooking portion from the top downward, a plurality of hooks and hooking portions are arranged at positions where they can be hooked simultaneously in the vertical direction.

By carrying out like this, a case main body can be attached to a protective cover more stably rather than the case where the site | part where a hook and a hook part are hooked is one place.
In such an embodiment, the hooks and hooks need not be the same shape. Further, it is not necessary that all the hooks are formed so that both ends are located within 1/6 from both sides of the case body. For example, when a plurality of hooks and hooks are provided in the vertical direction, a relatively narrow hook is formed on the lower side, and the width is such that both ends come within 1/6 of the case body from both sides. A wide hook may be formed. In the case of using a plurality of hooks, there may be a problem that it is difficult to attach and detach, but this problem can be mitigated by doing so.

In the portable information terminal case of the present invention,
In the case main body, the hook may be provided at a position shifted from the center of the width of the case main body in the hooking direction of the hook.
For example, when the hook is formed so that the portable information terminal is hooked on the hook portion downward from above, a mode in which the hook is shifted to the upper side or the lower side from the center in the vertical direction corresponds.
When shifted to the upper side, the center of gravity of the portable information terminal can be placed below the hooking portion, so that the portable information terminal can be stabilized. Conversely, when it is shifted downward, there is an advantage that it is easy to attach and detach because a gap is easily formed between the upper end of the portable information terminal and the protective cover when hooked.
In this way, by forming the hook by deviating from the center, there is an advantage corresponding to the position.

In the portable information terminal case according to the present invention,
The width of the hook is an international standard determined by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission, and is a width in the short or long direction of the card in accordance with the ID-1 standard in the international standard that defines the shape of the card. It may be substantially equal to.

  In this way, for example, the case main body in which the portable information terminal is fitted is removed from the protective cover, and a card (pass case) or a card provided in the inside of a bag ( Credit card, cash card, prepaid card, commuter pass, etc.). Therefore, user convenience can be improved.

  The ID-1 standard in the international standard defines the card size as 85.60 × 53.98 (mm). In the present invention, “substantially equal to the width in the short direction or the long direction of the card in conformity with the ID-1 standard in the international standard” means 10 (%) of the width in the short direction or the long direction of the card. Allow dimensional error within.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples.
A. First embodiment:
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a portable information terminal case 10 as a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the portable information terminal case 10 of this embodiment includes a case main body 100 and a protective cover 200. As will be described later, the case main body 100 is detachably attached by hooking a hook 110 provided on the back surface of the case main body 100 to an insertion band 210 provided on the protective cover 200.

In this embodiment, an example using a smartphone as a portable information terminal is shown. The smartphone has a flat plate shape with a vertically long and substantially rectangular shape, and includes a touch panel on the front surface. In addition, the smartphone includes various terminals, operation switches, and the like on its side surface.
The case main body 100 is fitted with the back surface and side surface (peripheral portion) of the smartphone. That is, since the touch panel provided on the front surface of the smartphone is exposed from the front surface of the case body 100, the touch panel can be operated while the smartphone is mounted on the case body 100.
In the following description, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in the drawing) of the smartphone is called up and down, and the short side direction (left and right direction in the drawing) is called left and right. Further, in this embodiment, the hook 110 is hooked on the insertion band 210 from the upper side to the lower side, so the direction from the upper side to the lower side may be called the hooking direction.

  Moreover, the case 10 for portable information terminals of a present Example has a notebook type shape so that a figure may show. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the protective cover 200 is opened. The case main body 100 is attached to the right half surface of the inner surface of the protective cover 200, and is used by opening left about an axis parallel to the long side of the smartphone. Hereinafter, a right half surface to which the protective cover 200 is attached is referred to as a “mounting surface”, and a left half surface portion corresponding to a lid that covers the smartphone may be referred to as a “flap surface”. The protective cover 200 has a size and shape that can cover almost the entire case body 100.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of the protective cover 200. FIG. 2 shows an inner front view with the protective cover 200 opened to the left and right. In the protective cover 200, an insertion band 210 on which a hook 110 provided on the back surface of the case body 100 is hooked is provided on the mounting surface. The plug-in band 210 corresponds to the hooking portion in the present invention. The lateral width Wc of the insertion band 210 is substantially the same as the width of the mounting surface of the case body 100. Further, the length Lc in the vertical direction of the insertion band 210 is about half of the width Wc.
In the protective cover 200, a camera hole 240 is formed at a position corresponding to a camera hole, which will be described later, formed in the case body 100. However, this may be omitted.

On the flap surface on the left side of the protective cover 200, a band-like or bag-like memo pad sandwiching part 220 capable of sandwiching a memo pad (not shown) is provided.
In the center of the protective cover 200, there is provided a band-shaped writing instrument insertion section 230 into which a writing instrument (not shown) can be inserted and removed in the vertical direction. With the protective cover 200 having such a configuration, the smartphone, the writing instrument, and the memo pad can be carried together. Moreover, a writing instrument and a memo pad can be used as needed while operating the smartphone. The same applies to other embodiments described later.

  For example, various designs and decorations may be applied to the outer surface of the protective cover 200 in order to improve fashionability. For example, a card case such as a non-contact type IC card may be provided on the outer surface of the protective cover 200. The protective cover 200 can be manufactured using various materials such as natural leather, synthetic leather, and cloth. The same applies to other embodiments described later.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of the case main body 100. FIG. 3A is a perspective view of the case main body 100 when viewed from the front side. FIG. 3B shows a perspective view of the case body 100 when viewed from the back side.
As shown in the figure, the case body 100 has a planar shape that is substantially equivalent to the shape of the target smartphone, and the side surfaces 100SR and 100SL have substantially the same shape as the outer periphery of the smartphone. The side surface functions to hold the smartphone fitted in the case main body 100 so as not to drop off. The case body 100 is integrally formed of various materials having impact resistance such as polycarbonate, silicon rubber, thermoplastic polyurethane, and the like.
On the back surface of the case body 100, a camera hole 150 is formed at a position corresponding to the camera included in the smartphone. The position of the camera hole 150 substantially coincides with the position of the camera hole 240 formed in the protective cover 200 when the case body 100 is attached to the protective cover 200.
A hook 110 is formed on the back surface of the case body 100. The hook 110 is formed in a shape such that a rectangular cut is formed in a part of the back surface and the outer side is bent with a step. Since the hook 110 is formed integrally with the case main body 100, it is possible to form the hook 110 without providing a hole (reference numeral omitted) on the back surface. However, by forming such a hole, the case main body is formed. Advantages such as easy removal from the mold at the time of manufacturing 100 occur, and an increase in cost can be suppressed.
In the present embodiment, the case main body 100 and the hook 110 are integrally formed. However, the hook 110 may be fixed to the case main body 100 by bonding or the like after the two are separated. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the side surface portion of the case body 100, the upper side surface portion, the lower side surface portion, and the left side surface portion shown in the figure are at positions corresponding to various terminals and operation switches provided on the side surface of the smartphone. , Notches 120, 130, 140 are provided, respectively. By doing so, the user can use various terminals and operation switches of the smartphone while the smartphone is fitted in the case main body 100. The same applies to other embodiments described later.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of the case main body. FIG. 4A shows a front view of the case main body 100. FIG. 4B shows a right side view of the case body 100.
As shown in the drawing, the lateral width Wf of the hook 110 is substantially equal to the lateral width Wc (see FIG. 2) of the insertion band 210 provided on the protective cover 200. By so doing, when the case main body 100 is attached to the protective cover 200, the inclination can be suppressed.

The width Wf of the hook 110 was substantially equal to the width of the smartphone excluding the corner R portion. As a result, the width Wf of the hook 110 is about 95% of the width WS of the case body 100 in the short direction.
Thus, by widening the width Wf of the hook 110, the case body 100 can be attached to the protective cover 200 more stably.

  The width Wf of the hook 110 can be arbitrarily set. However, in order to attach the case main body 100 stably, it is preferable that the width Wf is at least 2/3 of the width WS of the case main body 100 in the short direction. In other words, it is preferable that the distance from both side surfaces 100SR, 100SL of the case main body 100 to the both end portions 110SR, 110SL of the hook 110 is within 1/6 of the width WS. By doing so, when the case main body 100 is inclined, the hook 110 suppresses the inclination at a position away from the central axis of symmetry, so that the case main body 100 is attached to the protective cover 200 more stably. Can do.

  In this embodiment, the hooks 110 of the case body 100 are formed symmetrically, but they may be asymmetrical. However, it is possible to maintain a good balance when the case body 100 is attached to the protective cover 200 by making it symmetrical.

  In the case main body 100, the hook 110 is provided at a position shifted upward from the central axis C in the vertical direction. By doing so, the center of gravity of the case main body 100 when mounted on the protective cover 200 is positioned below the hook 110, so that the case main body 100 can be attached to the protective cover 200 more stably. .

The width Wf of the hook 110 is an international standard determined by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission, and is almost equal to the width in the short direction of the card in accordance with the ID-1 standard in the international standard that defines the shape of the card. Were equal. In the ID-1 standard, the size of the card is defined as 85.60 × 53.98 (mm), so the width Wf of the hook 110 is about 85.60 mm. There may be a dimensional error of about 10%.
By determining the width Wf of the hook 110 in this way, for example, the case body 100 is removed from the protective cover 200 and is provided in a generally used card case, pass case, or bag. Even when it is used by attaching to a pocket for a card (credit card, cash card, prepaid card, commuter pass, etc.), the case body 100 is stabilized because the hook 110 has substantially the same width with respect to the pocket. be able to. Therefore, the diversity of the usage mode of a smart phone can be increased, and a user's convenience can be improved.

  The vertical length Lf of the hook 110 is substantially equal to or slightly longer than the width Lc of the insertion band 210 provided in the protective cover 200. As shown in FIG. 4, the hook 110 is provided with three protrusions 112 a, 112 b, 112 c in the left-right direction on the side in contact with the insertion band 210. The distance between the tops of the protruding portions 112a, 112b, and 112c and the back surface of the case body 100 is set to be narrower than the thickness of the insertion band 210. By doing so, the hook 110 can be firmly fixed to the insertion band 210.

  In the portable information terminal case 10 of the first embodiment described above, the case main body 100 in which the smartphone as the portable information terminal is fitted can be stably attached to the protective cover 100 without rattling. Therefore, the smartphone (touch panel) can be stably operated while the smartphone and the case body 100 are attached to the protective cover 200.
