JP 2017-69791 JP 2010-368237 A

The mobile terminal device holder described in Patent Document 1 cannot be attached to the periphery of the mobile terminal because the finger support portion and the base overlap when viewed from the direction orthogonal to the display surface of the mobile terminal. In other words, when the mobile terminal device holder was attached to the peripheral edge of the mobile terminal, the base protruded from the mobile terminal. As a result, the finger support portion cannot be arranged at the end of the mobile terminal, so the flexibility of holding the mobile terminal is lacking.

Further, in the mobile terminal device holder and the mobile information device case, since the ring portion through which the finger is passed is provided near the center of the back surface, the case is held by passing the middle finger or the index finger through the ring portion. If you hold the case with your middle finger or index finger, even if you take your hand off the mobile information terminal case to perform other tasks, the middle finger or index finger is inserted into the ring portion, so the mobile terminal is still on your palm. was in a state of As a result, the mobile information terminal case is an obstacle, making it difficult to perform other work that requires hands, such as taking out an object from a bag.

In addition, since the ring portion is provided near the center of the back surface of the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal is supported near the center of gravity of the mobile terminal, it lacks stability on the palm. In other words, when the mobile terminal is held substantially horizontally, it is supported near the center of gravity of the mobile terminal, so that the mobile information terminal may wobble on the palm when operated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a terminal holder and a terminal storage case that allow a user to perform other work while holding a mobile terminal and stably hold the mobile terminal.

A sixth invention is the terminal holder according to the fifth invention, wherein the fixing portion includes a first fixing portion to which the one end portion is connected and a second fixing portion to which the other end portion is connected. A fitting hole into which the first fixing part is fitted is formed in the second fixing part, and the second fixing part is fitted into the fitting hole, The finger insertion space is formed by the one end portion, the other end portion, and the finger support portion.

A seventh invention is a terminal storage case for protecting a mobile terminal, comprising: a main body; a fixing part having a fixing surface fixed to the main body; both ends of which are connected to the fixing part; a finger insertion space for inserting a finger is defined between the terminal holder and the finger insertion space, and a holding portion that holds the main body portion by inserting a finger into the finger insertion space; The finger insertion space does not overlap with the fixing portion and the main body portion when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the fixing surface, and the fixing portion is sandwiched between the mobile terminal and the main body portion to hold the holding portion. The portion protrudes downward from the lower end portion of the main body portion, the holding portion has a substantially flat plate shape, one end portion connected to the fixing portion, the other end portion connected to the fixing portion, and the a finger support part that connects one end and the other end, supports the finger inserted into the finger insertion space, and has a greater width than the one end and the other end. A storage case is provided.

An eighth invention is the terminal storage case according to the seventh invention, wherein the finger to be inserted into the finger insertion space is a little finger, and the little finger is inserted into the finger insertion space to hold the body portion. The lower end portion of the main body serves as a fulcrum to support the main body when the is gripped by hand.

A ninth aspect of the present invention comprises a first fixing portion fixed to a mobile terminal or a terminal storage case covering the mobile terminal, a second fixing portion fixed to the mobile terminal or the terminal storage case, and the first fixing portion. and the second fixing portion in the connection direction, and a holding portion having a narrower width in a direction perpendicular to the connection direction than the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion, wherein the first The fixing portion, the second fixing portion, and the holding portion are positioned on the same plane, and when the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are fixed to the mobile terminal, the finger is held by the holding portion. An insertion space is defined, the finger insertion space does not overlap with the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first fixing portion, and the holding portion is substantially flat. It has a shape, connects one end connected to the first fixing part , the other end connected to the second fixing part , and the one end and the other end, and is inserted into the finger insertion space. and a finger support portion having a greater width than the one end portion and the other end portion.

Positioning on the same plane here means that the first fixing portion, the second fixing portion, and the holding portion are smooth and smooth as shown in FIGS. It means that it exists in a flat state without unevenness on a flat surface.

In a tenth invention, in the terminal holder according to the ninth invention, the connecting portion between the one end portion and the first fixing portion extends from a center line parallel to the connection direction of the first fixing portion. A connection portion between the other end portion and the second fixing portion is arranged at a position shifted, and a connection portion between the second fixing portion and the other end portion is arranged at a position shifted from a center line parallel to the connection direction of the second fixing portion, and the one end portion and the The connection portion with the first fixing portion and the connection portion between the other end portion and the second fixing portion are positioned on the same line in the connection direction.

According to the first invention, since the finger insertion space does not overlap with the fixing portion when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the fixing surface, the fixing portion does not become an obstacle and the holding portion can be arranged at the peripheral end portion of the mobile terminal. can be done. As a result, the terminal holder can be arranged at an arbitrary position compared to the conventional mobile terminal device holder, and the degree of freedom of holding is increased. In other words, the terminal holder can be arranged at the peripheral edge of the mobile terminal, for example, the holding part is positioned so as not to overlap with the mobile terminal when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the fixing surface, and to protrude from the mobile terminal. can be placed in Also, when inserting the finger into the finger insertion space, the finger can be easily inserted without interfering with the fixing portion.

According to the second invention, since the finger insertion space and the fixing surface are substantially parallel, the holding part can be arranged at the peripheral edge of the mobile terminal without the fixing part becoming an obstacle. As a result, the degree of freedom of holding is increased compared to conventional portable terminal device holders. Further, since the finger to be inserted into the finger insertion space is the little finger, the user can hold the mobile terminal by inserting only the little finger into the finger insertion space. When it is desired to perform other work while holding the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can be held while being separated from the palm by releasing the grip of the mobile terminal and rotating the mobile terminal around the holding portion. can. As a result, since the mobile terminal is no longer in the palm, the user can freely perform other work such as taking out a necessary item from a bag while holding the mobile terminal with the little finger. Also, since only the little finger is used to hold the mobile terminal, the other fingers can be used relatively freely. As a result, when taking a selfie with a camera provided on the mobile terminal, it is possible to stably hold the mobile terminal and use fingers other than the pinky finger to take a picture without blurring. Furthermore, since the finger inserted into the finger insertion space is the pinky finger, when the mobile terminal is tilted, the lower area is supported by the pinky finger while the main body is supported by the other fingers. is stably supported by the fingers of the In a conventional portable information terminal case, a ring portion for passing a finger through the finger insertion space was provided at a substantially center-of-gravity position, so that the case sometimes wobbled around the ring portion. The portable terminal can be stably held by supporting the lower portion of the portable terminal with the little finger and supporting the weight of the portable terminal with another finger.

As for the fingers of the human hand, when the thumb and forefinger are operated, the consciousness is directed to the stomach side, and when the ring finger and the little finger are operated, the consciousness is directed to the back side. The middle finger is the central finger, and manipulation with the middle finger directs the attention to both the stomach and the back. This is the theory discovered by the inventor, the muscles of the thumb and index finger are linked with the muscles of the abdomen, the muscles of the ring finger and little finger are linked with the muscles of the back, and the muscles of the middle finger are linked with the muscles of the abdomen and the back. This is thought to be due to the fact that it is linked to the muscles of the When a conventional portable information terminal case is used, since the case is held with the index finger or the middle finger, the awareness of the back becomes weaker as the consciousness turns toward the abdomen, and the spine tends to bend and the consciousness tends to fall into inward thinking. be. In the present invention, since the mobile terminal is held by the little finger, movement of the mobile terminal is naturally performed mainly by the little finger. As a result, the user's consciousness is directed from the shoulders to the back, and when moving the mobile terminal, not only the wrist is used, but the arm, the shoulder and the back are used to move the mobile terminal. As a result, since the user's consciousness is directed toward the back, the mobile terminal can be operated while maintaining a posture in which the back muscles can be stretched. Furthermore, by stretching the back muscles, an outward opening force acts on the trunk, making it possible to think outward rather than inward. Here, introverted thought refers to blocking out information from the outside and becoming self-reflective, such as looking back on the past in one's mind. It means taking in and thinking about the future positively. By using the portable terminal of the present invention, outward thinking becomes dominant and positive thinking.

According to the third invention, since the portion from one end portion to the finger support portion is twisted in a predetermined direction and the portion from the finger support portion to the other end portion is twisted in a predetermined direction again, the little finger inserted into the finger insertion space has a flat flat surface. Supported by As a result, even in a state in which the little finger is inserted into the finger insertion space and the portable terminal is hung from the little finger (FIG. 6), the load on the little finger can be reduced by the contact of the flat surface with the little finger. In addition, since the holding portion has a substantially flat plate shape and is twisted once in a predetermined direction and twisted once again in a predetermined direction, the fixing portion and the holding portion divided into two are arranged on the same plane and divided. A terminal holder can be produced by connecting the fixed portions (FIG. 4). Thereby, the terminal holder can be produced by a simple method.

According to the fourth invention, since the width of the finger support portion is larger than that of the one end and the other end, even when the portable terminal is hung from the little finger with the little finger inserted in the finger insertion space (FIG. 6), the little finger can be The load applied to the little finger can be reduced by abutting the flat surface on. In addition, since the notch is formed in the connecting portion between the holding portion and the fixing portion, even if a strong load is applied to the holding portion while the fixing portion is fixed to the mobile terminal, the fixing portion will not come off from the mobile terminal. can be suppressed. In other words, since the load is not concentrated on the connecting portion between the fixing portion and the holding portion due to the formation of the notch, the fixing portion is less likely to come off from the portable terminal.

According to the fifth invention, since the direction in which the finger is inserted into the finger insertion space is substantially parallel to the fixed surface, it is the same direction as the little finger points when the portable terminal is held. As a result, the little finger can be naturally inserted into the finger insertion space without twisting the holding portion, and the mobile terminal or the terminal storage case can be stably held.

According to the sixth invention, since the first fixing part is fitted into the fitting hole of the second fixing part, when the terminal holder is formed by overlapping the first fixing part and the second fixing part, It becomes smooth without irregularities. As a result, it is possible to realize a terminal holder with a good appearance.

According to the seventh invention, since the finger insertion space does not overlap with the fixing portion when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the fixing surface, the fixing portion does not become an obstacle and the holding portion is arranged at the end of the peripheral edge of the terminal storage case. can do. As a result, the degree of freedom of holding is increased compared to conventional portable terminal device holders. Also, when inserting the finger into the finger insertion space, the finger can be easily inserted without the fixing portion becoming an obstacle. Further, since the fixing portion is sandwiched between the mobile terminal and the terminal storage case, even if a load is applied to the holding portion, the fixing portion is unlikely to come off from the terminal storage case. Further, since the holding portion protrudes downward from the lower end portion of the terminal storage case, the terminal storage case can be held by inserting the little finger into the finger insertion space. When it is desired to perform other work while holding the terminal storage case, the user releases the grip of the terminal storage case and rotates the terminal storage case around the holding portion, thereby separating the terminal storage case from the palm. can hold. As a result, since the mobile terminal is no longer in the palm, the user can freely perform other work such as taking out a necessary item from a bag while holding the mobile terminal with the little finger. Also, since only the little finger is used to hold the terminal storage case, other fingers can be used relatively freely.

According to the eighth invention, when the main body is gripped with the little finger inserted into the finger insertion space, the lower end serves as a fulcrum, so that the terminal storage case can be stably held. For example, if the fulcrum is located above the lower end of the terminal storage case, the fulcrum will be at a distance close to the center of gravity of the mobile terminal, resulting in a lack of stability in the terminal storage case. However, since the fulcrum is located at the lower end, the part that is the most distant from the center of gravity of the mobile terminal serves as the fulcrum, so that the terminal storage case can be stably held.

According to the ninth invention, since the first fixing portion, the second fixing portion, and the holding portion are positioned on the same plane, the terminal holder can be produced by a simple method. Specifically, the user fixes the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion of the terminal holder shown in FIG. It becomes a terminal holder as shown.

According to the tenth invention, the connection portion between the one end portion and the first fixing portion is arranged at a position shifted from the center line of the first fixing portion, and the connection portion between the other end portion and the second fixing portion is the second fixing portion. Since it is arranged at a position shifted from the center line of the fixing part, the cross-sectional area of the finger insertion space can be changed when the terminal holder is fixed to the mobile terminal. Specifically, when the terminal holder shown in FIG. 4B is produced by rotating the first fixing part and the second fixing part in the direction of arrow E shown in FIG. Since the connection portion with the first fixing portion and the connection portion between the other end portion and the second fixing portion are displaced downward, the cross-sectional area of the finger insertion space increases. Conversely, if the terminal holder is manufactured by rotating the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion in the direction of arrow F shown in FIG. 4A, the cross-sectional area of the finger insertion space becomes smaller. Thereby, the cross-sectional area of the finger insertion space can be adjusted with one terminal holder.

A terminal holder 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. FIG. As shown in the figure, the front, back, up, down, left and right directions are defined.

The terminal holder 1 is attached to a mobile terminal 10 having a display section 10A (FIG. 5) for displaying various information, and is composed of a fixing section 2 and a holding section 3 . The mobile terminal 10 is a smart phone or a tablet, but is not limited to this as long as it can display information. The fixing part 2 and the holding part 3 are integrally made of a smooth material composed of three layers: a rubber layer, a glass fiber layer, and a silicon layer.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the fixing portion 2 has a first fixing portion 21, a second fixing portion 22, and a surface member 23 (FIG. 1). A notch 2 a is formed in a connecting portion between the fixing portion 2 and the holding portion 3 in parallel with the extending direction in which the holding portion 3 extends from the fixing portion 2 . The cutouts 2a are formed in four locations in a row in the left-right direction, and are provided so that the fixation of the fixed part 2 to the portable terminal 10 will not come off even when the holding part 3 moves violently with respect to the fixed part 2. It is In the present embodiment, the depth of the cut 2a is 2 mm, but the depth is not limited to this and can be arbitrarily set according to the shape of the terminal holder 1. FIG. Also, the fixing portion 2 may not be provided with the cut 2a.

The first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 have substantially the same shape and form a substantially rectangular shape with chamfered corners. Adhesive is applied to the bottom surfaces of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 so that the terminal holder 1 can be fixed to the back surface of the mobile terminal 10 . In the present embodiment, the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 have a height of 29 mm in the vertical direction and a length of 40 mm in the horizontal direction in FIG. Any shape can be selected according to the size of the mobile terminal 10 . The bottom surfaces of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 correspond to fixing surfaces of the present invention. The surface member 23 is a member that covers the upper surfaces of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22, and an illustration (not shown) or the like is drawn on the surface. The terminal holder 1 can also be used as a promotional item by drawing a corporate advertisement or the like on the surface member 23 .

The holding portion 3 has one end 31 connected to the first fixing portion 21 , a finger support portion 32 connected to the one end 31 , and the other end connected to the second fixing portion 22 . and the other end portion 33 connected to the finger support portion 32 as well. In other words, the finger support portion 32 connects the one end portion 31 and the other end portion 33 in the horizontal direction in the developed view shown in FIG. 4(a). The holding portion 3 has a line-symmetrical shape with respect to a central line B in the center portion in the left-right direction, and the one end portion 31 and the other end portion 33 have substantially the same shape. A connection portion between the one end portion 31 and the first fixing portion 21 and a connection portion between the finger support portion 32 and the second fixing portion 22 are slightly widened in the vertical direction. It expands in the vertical direction step by step from the one end 31 to the finger support 32 , has a predetermined width in the vertical direction at the finger support 32 , and narrows in the vertical direction step by step from the finger support 32 to the other end 33 . there is The cuts 2a of the fixing portion 2 are formed at both ends in the vertical direction of the connection portion of the one end portion 31 with the first fixing portion 21, and the connection portion of the other end portion 33 with the second fixing portion 22 in the vertical direction. It is formed on both ends. The horizontal direction corresponds to the connection direction of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4( a ), the holding portion 3 is provided at a position shifted downward from the center portion in the vertical direction with respect to the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 . In other words, the center line C extending in the left-right direction of the holding portion 3 is located below the center line D extending in the left-right direction of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 . That is, the connecting portion between the one end portion 31 and the first fixing portion 21 and the connecting portion between the other end portion 33 and the second fixing portion 22 are arranged at positions shifted downward from the center line of the fixing portion 2 extending in the left-right direction. It is

Since the finger support part 32 is a part that supports a finger when the terminal holder 1 is fixed to the mobile terminal 10 , the width in the vertical direction is wider than the one end part 31 and the finger support part 32 . In the space surrounded by the holding part 3 and the fixing part 2, as indicated by diagonal lines in FIGS. An insertion space 3a is defined. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 , the finger insertion space 3 a is formed at a position that does not overlap with the fixing portion 2 when viewed in the front-rear direction, which is the direction orthogonal to the fixing portion 2 . In other words, the plane defined by the inner side 3A of the holding portion 3 and the fixing portion 2 becomes the finger insertion space 3a, and the finger insertion space 3a is approximately the bottom surface of the fixing portion 2 (the display portion 10A of the mobile terminal 10). parallel. By being formed to protrude from the fixed portion 2 , the finger insertion space 3 a is formed at a position shifted from the fixed portion 2 . Furthermore, the bottom surface of the fixing portion 2 and the surface defined by the fixing portion 2 and the holding portion 3 (the finger insertion space 3a) are substantially parallel surfaces.

The finger insertion space 3a has an area large enough for the little finger 15 to be inserted, and has a substantially elliptical shape. In the present embodiment, in the state shown in FIG. 4A, the vertical width of the one end portion 31 and the other end portion 33 is 4.5 mm, and the vertical width of the finger support portion 32 is 9 mm. Although the length of the holding portion 3 in the left-right direction is 65 mm, it is not limited to this, and an arbitrary shape can be selected according to the size of the mobile terminal 10 .

Next, attachment of the terminal holder 1 to the mobile terminal 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. The terminal holder 1 attaches the fixing part 2 to the center of the lower end of the mobile terminal 10 in the left-right direction so that the holding part 3 protrudes downward. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, it is desirable that the finger insertion space 3a and the portable terminal 10 are attached at positions that do not overlap when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the fixing portion 2 (the front-rear direction).

Next, a method for manufacturing the terminal holder 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4A, before the terminal holder 1 is assembled, the first fixing portion 21, the second fixing portion 22, and the holding portion 3 have a flat planar shape. From this state, when the upper end surface of the first fixing portion 21 and the upper end surface of the second fixing portion 22 are joined so that the inner side 3A is positioned inside as indicated by an arrow E, the result is shown in FIG. 4(b). state. At this time, the holding portion 3 is twisted approximately 90° in a predetermined direction at the connection portion between the one end portion 31 and the finger support portion 32, and is twisted at approximately 90° in a predetermined direction at the connection portion between the finger support portion 32 and the other end portion 33. . The predetermined direction here means the clockwise direction as viewed from below. Specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 4B, the plane of the holding portion 3 in FIG. 4A on the front side of the paper surface faces the front side of the paper surface at the one end portion 31 and faces upward at the finger support portion 32. , and the other end 33 again faces the front side of the paper.

From the state shown in FIG. 4B, by attaching the surface member 23 to the upper surfaces of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22, the connecting portion between the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 is made less noticeable. do. At this time, an advertisement or the like may be printed on the surface member 23 . As a result, the end holder 1 as shown in FIG. 4(c) is obtained. Note that the terminal holder 1 may be produced by rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow F in FIG. 4(a). In this case, the lower side of the holding portion 3 is the inner side 3B. Since the center line C of the holding part 3 is located below the center line D of the fixing part 2, when the holding part 3 is rotated in the direction of the arrow F, the horizontal distance between the one end part 31 and the other end part 33 is shortened. The area of the finger insertion space 3a is smaller than that in FIG. 4(b). That is, the area of the finger insertion space 3a can be adjusted by shifting the center line C of the holding part 3 and the center line D of the fixing part 2 vertically. In the present embodiment, the vertical distance between the upper ends of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 and the center line C is 17 mm, and the lower ends of the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 are 17 mm. and the center line C is 12 mm, but it is not limited to this and can be arbitrarily set according to the area of the finger insertion space 3a.

Next, a method for holding the mobile terminal 10 using the terminal holder 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. The user grips the terminal holder 1 with the thumb 11, the index finger 12, the middle finger 13, and the ring finger 14, and inserts only the little finger 15 into the finger insertion space 3a. As shown in FIG. 5, the user supports the back surface of the mobile terminal 10 with the index finger 12, the middle finger 13, and the ring finger 14, inserts the little finger 15 into the finger insertion space 3a, and displays the mobile terminal 10 with the thumb 11. Operate the section 10A. Since the center of gravity G of the mobile terminal 10 acts downward from the approximate center, the mobile terminal 10 can be held stably with the index finger 12, the middle finger 13, and the ring finger 14. FIG. That is, since the mobile terminal 10 is held by the little finger 15 at the fulcrum S apart from the center of gravity G, the vicinity of the center of gravity G can be supported by a plurality of fingers to stably hold the mobile terminal 10 using its own weight. can be done. Here, the fulcrum S is a fulcrum at which the terminal holder 1 supports the mobile terminal 10 and is positioned at the lower end of the mobile terminal 10 .

When the user wants to perform another task while holding the mobile terminal 10, the user can remove the index finger 12, the middle finger 13, and the ring finger 14 supporting the back surface of the mobile terminal 10 from the mobile terminal 10, as shown in FIG. , the portable terminal 10 rotates counterclockwise around the little finger 15 (fulcrum S) by its own weight. As a result, the user can perform other work with fingers other than the little finger 15 without taking the mobile terminal 10 off the hand. When the mobile terminal 10 is operated again, the mobile terminal 10 is rotated clockwise around the pinky finger 15 (fulcrum S) with the other hand so that the mobile terminal 10 is again in the state shown in FIG.

According to such a configuration, since the finger insertion space 3a does not overlap with the fixing portion 2 when viewed in the front-rear direction that is the direction perpendicular to the fixing surface, the fixing portion 2 does not become an obstacle and the peripheral edge of the mobile terminal 10 is not obstructed. A holding part 3 can be arranged in the part. As a result, the terminal holder 1 can be arranged at an arbitrary position compared to the conventional portable terminal device holder, and the degree of freedom of holding is increased. In other words, the terminal holder 1 can be arranged at the peripheral edge of the mobile terminal 10, and for example, the holding part 3 is positioned so as not to overlap with the mobile terminal 10 when viewed in the front-rear direction, which is the direction orthogonal to the fixing surface. can be arranged so as to protrude from the mobile terminal 10 . Further, when inserting the finger into the finger insertion space 3a, the finger can be easily inserted without interfering with the fixing portion 2. As shown in FIG.

According to such a configuration, since the finger insertion space 3a and the fixing surface are substantially parallel, the holding part 3 can be arranged at the peripheral edge of the mobile terminal 10 without the fixing part 2 becoming an obstacle. As a result, the degree of freedom of holding is increased compared to conventional portable terminal device holders. Further, since the finger to be inserted into the finger insertion space 3a is the little finger 15, the user can hold the mobile terminal 10 by inserting only the little finger 15 into the finger insertion space 3a. When it is desired to perform another work while holding the mobile terminal 10, the user releases the grip of the mobile terminal 10 and rotates the mobile terminal 10 around the holding portion 3, thereby moving the mobile terminal away from the palm. can be held (Fig. 6). As a result, since the mobile terminal is no longer in the palm, the user can freely perform other work such as taking out a necessary item from a bag while holding the mobile terminal 10 with the little finger 15.例文帳に追加Also, since only the little finger 15 is used to hold the mobile terminal 10, other fingers can be used relatively freely. As a result, when taking a self-portrait with a camera provided on the mobile terminal 10, the mobile terminal 10 can be stably held, and a finger other than the little finger 15 can be used to take a picture without blurring. Furthermore, since the finger to be inserted into the finger insertion space 3a is the little finger 15, when the portable terminal 10 is tilted, the little finger 15 supports the lower area while the other fingers support the main body. It is stably supported by the palm and other fingers by its own weight. In a conventional portable information terminal case, a ring portion for passing a finger was provided at a substantially center-of-gravity position, so that it sometimes wobbled around the ring portion. Thus, the mobile terminal 10 can be stably held by supporting the lower portion of the mobile terminal 10 with the little finger 15 and receiving the weight of the mobile terminal 10 with the other fingers.

When the thumb 11 and the index finger 12 are used to operate the fingers of the human hand, the consciousness is directed to the stomach side, and when the ring finger 14 and the little finger 15 are operated, the consciousness is directed to the back side. The middle finger 13 is a central finger, and the operation with the middle finger 13 directs the consciousness to both the stomach and the back. This is a theory discovered by the inventor. The muscles of the thumb 11 and the index finger 12 are linked with the muscles on the abdomen side, the muscles of the ring finger 14 and the little finger 15 are linked with the muscles on the back side, and the muscles of the middle finger 13 are linked to the muscles on the abdomen side. It is thought that the cause is that it is linked with the muscles of the back and the muscles of the back. When a conventional portable information terminal case is used, since the case is held with the index finger 12 or the middle finger 13, the awareness of the back becomes weaker as the consciousness turns to the stomach side, and the spine bends and the consciousness falls into inward thinking. tend to In the present invention, since the mobile terminal 10 is held by the little finger 15 , the movement of the mobile terminal 10 is naturally centered around the little finger 15 . Then, the user's consciousness turns from the shoulder to the back, and when moving the mobile terminal 10, the user does not use only the wrist but moves the mobile terminal 10 using the arm, the shoulder, and the back. As a result, the user can operate the mobile terminal 10 while maintaining a posture in which the back muscles are straight because the user's consciousness is directed toward the back. Furthermore, by stretching the back muscles, an outward opening force acts on the trunk, making it possible to think outward rather than inward. Here, introverted thought refers to blocking out information from the outside and becoming self-reflective, such as looking back on the past in one's mind. It means taking in and thinking about the future positively. By using the mobile terminal 10 of the present invention, outward thinking becomes dominant and positive thinking.

According to such a configuration, the portion from the one end 31 to the finger support portion 32 is twisted in a predetermined direction, and the portion from the finger support portion 32 to the other end 33 is twisted in a predetermined direction again. 15 is supported by a flat plate-shaped plane. The twisting direction here refers to the direction viewed from the holding portion 3 . As a result, even when the portable terminal 10 is hung from the little finger 15 with the little finger 15 inserted into the finger insertion space 3a (FIG. 6), the load applied to the little finger 15 is reduced by the contact of the plane with the little finger 15. be able to. Further, since the holding portion 3 has a substantially flat plate shape and is twisted once in a predetermined direction and twisted once again in a predetermined direction, the first fixing portion 21, the second fixing portion 22, and the holding portion are arranged on the same plane. 3 and connecting the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22, the terminal holder 1 can be manufactured (FIG. 4). Thereby, the terminal holder 1 can be produced by a simple method.

According to such a configuration, since the finger support portion 32 is wider than the one end portion 31 and the other end portion 33, the portable terminal 10 is hung from the little finger 15 while the little finger 15 is inserted into the finger insertion space 3a ( 6), the load applied to the little finger 15 can be reduced by bringing the flat surface into contact with the little finger 15. FIG. In addition, since the notch 2 a is formed in the connecting portion between the holding portion 3 and the fixing portion 2 , even if a strong load is applied to the holding portion 3 while the fixing portion 2 is fixed to the mobile terminal 10 , the holding portion 3 does not reach the fixing portion. 2 can be suppressed from being peeled off from the mobile terminal 10 . In other words, since the load is not concentrated on the connecting portion between the fixing portion 2 and the holding portion 3 due to the formation of the notches 2 a , the fixing portion 2 is less likely to come off from the mobile terminal 10 .

According to such a configuration, since the first fixing portion 21, the second fixing portion 22, and the holding portion 3 are positioned on the same plane, the terminal holder 1 can be manufactured by a simple method. Specifically, the user fixes the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 of the terminal holder 1 shown in FIG. The end holder 1 as shown in (b) is obtained.

According to such a configuration, the connecting portion between the one end portion 31 and the first fixing portion 21 is arranged at a position deviated from the center line of the first fixing portion, and the connecting portion between the other end portion and the second fixing portion is Since it is arranged at a position shifted from the center line of the second fixing portion, the cross-sectional area of finger insertion space 3a can be changed when terminal holder 1 is fixed to mobile terminal 10 . Specifically, when the terminal holder 1 shown in FIG. 4B is produced by rotating the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 in the direction of arrow E shown in FIG. Since the connecting portion between the portion 31 and the first fixing portion 21 and the connecting portion between the other end portion 33 and the second fixing portion 22 are deviated downward with respect to the center line D, the cross-sectional area of the finger insertion space 3a becomes growing. Conversely, if the terminal holder is manufactured by rotating the first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 in the direction of arrow F shown in FIG. 4A, the cross-sectional area of the finger insertion space 3a becomes smaller. Thereby, the cross-sectional area of the finger insertion space 3a can be adjusted with one terminal holder 1. FIG.

Next, a second embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. Approximately the same configuration as in the first embodiment is given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. In the second embodiment, the terminal holder 1 of the first embodiment is provided integrally with a terminal storage case 110 that is a case for storing the mobile terminal 10 . The terminal storage case 110 is composed of a body portion 111 and a terminal holder 1 .

The terminal holder 1 is fixed to the lower end portion of the body portion 111, and a camera hole 111a, a button hole 111b, and a step 111c are formed.

The camera hole 111a has a substantially elliptical shape and is formed at a position corresponding to the camera of the mobile terminal 10 . The button hole 111 b is formed in the upper part of the left side surface of the main body 111 and at a position corresponding to the button of the mobile terminal 10 . The stepped portion 111c is formed at a lower portion of the main body portion 111 at a position corresponding to a speaker or a terminal connection portion of the mobile terminal 10. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8 , when the mobile terminal 10 is stored in the main body portion 111 of the terminal storage case 110 , the fixing portion 2 is sandwiched between the mobile terminal 10 and the main body portion 111 . As a result, the terminal holder 1 can be more firmly fixed to the terminal storage case 110 .

According to such a configuration, since the finger insertion space 3a does not overlap with the fixing portion 2 when viewed from the direction orthogonal to the fixing surface, the fixing portion 2 does not become an obstacle and can be placed at the end of the peripheral edge of the terminal storage case 110. A holding part 3 can be arranged. As a result, the degree of freedom of holding is increased compared to conventional portable terminal device holders. Further, when inserting the finger into the finger insertion space 3a, the finger can be easily inserted without the fixing portion 2 becoming an obstacle. Further, since the fixed part 2 is sandwiched between the mobile terminal 10 and the terminal storage case 110 , the fixed part 2 is hard to come off from the terminal storage case 110 even if a load is applied to the holding part 3 . Further, since the holding portion 3 protrudes downward from the lower end portion of the terminal storage case 110, the mobile terminal 10 can be held by inserting the little finger 15 into the finger insertion space 3a. When it is desired to perform another task while holding the mobile terminal 10, the user releases the terminal storage case 110 from the grip and rotates the terminal storage case 110 around the holding portion, thereby removing the terminal storage case 110 from the palm. It can be held while being spaced apart. As a result, since the mobile terminal 10 is no longer in the palm, the user can freely perform other work such as taking out a necessary item from a bag while holding the mobile terminal 10 with the little finger 15.例文帳に追加Also, since only the little finger 15 is used to hold the terminal storage case 110, other fingers can be used relatively freely.

According to such a configuration, when the little finger 15 is inserted into the finger insertion space 3a and the body part 111 is gripped, the lower end becomes the fulcrum S, so that the terminal storage case 110 can be stably held. For example, when the fulcrum S is located above the lower end of the terminal storage case 110, the fulcrum is at a distance close to the center of gravity of the mobile terminal 10, so the terminal storage case 110 is not stable. However, since the fulcrum S is located at the lower end portion, the terminal storage case 110 can be stably held because the portion farthest from the center of gravity of the mobile terminal 10 becomes the fulcrum.

Next, a third embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11. FIG. Approximately the same configuration as in the first embodiment is given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

The terminal holder 101 is composed of a fixing portion 102 and a holding portion 103 . The fixing part 102 and the holding part 103 are integrally made of a smooth material composed of three layers of a rubber layer, a glass fiber layer and a silicon layer.

As shown in FIG. 11(a), the fixing portion 102 has a first fixing portion 121, a second fixing portion 122, and a surface member 123 (FIG. 9). The first fixing portion 121 has a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction, and the second fixing portion 122 has a substantially rectangular shape that has substantially the same length in the vertical direction as the first fixing portion 121 . An adhesive is applied to the bottom surfaces of the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 so that the terminal holder 101 can be fixed to the back surface of the mobile terminal 10 . The bottom surfaces of the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 correspond to fixing surfaces of the present invention. The surface member 123 is a member that covers the upper surfaces of the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122, and an illustration (not shown) or the like is drawn on the surface. The terminal holder 101 can also be used as a promotional item by drawing a corporate advertisement or the like on the surface member 123 .

The holding portion 103 has one end portion 131 connected to the first fixing portion 121 , a finger support portion 132 connected to the one end portion 131 , and the other end connected to the second fixing portion 122 . and the other end portion 133 connected to the finger support portion 132 as well. In other words, the finger support portion 132 connects the one end portion 131 and the other end portion 133 in the horizontal direction in the developed view shown in FIG. 11(a). The holding portion 103 has a shape symmetrical with respect to the center line B of the center portion in the left-right direction, and the one end portion 131 and the other end portion 133 have substantially the same shape. A connection portion between the one end portion 131 and the first fixing portion 121 and a connection portion between the finger support portion 132 and the second fixing portion 122 are slightly widened in the vertical direction. It expands in the vertical direction step by step from one end portion 131 to the finger support portion 132 , has a predetermined width in the vertical direction at the finger support portion 132 , and narrows in the vertical direction step by step from the finger support portion 132 to the other end portion 133 . there is The horizontal direction corresponds to the connection direction of the present invention.

Since the finger support part 132 is a part that supports a finger when the terminal holder 101 is fixed to the mobile terminal 10 , the width in the vertical direction is wider than the one end part 131 and the finger support part 132 . In the space surrounded by the one end portion 131, the finger support portion 132, and the other end portion 133, as shown by diagonal lines in FIGS. A finger insertion space 103a into which the user's little finger 15 is inserted is defined. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the finger insertion space 103a is formed so as to insert the little finger 15 in the left-right direction, which is the direction substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the fixing portion 2. As shown in FIG. In other words, the surface into which little finger 15 is inserted is a plane defined by side 103A of holding portion 103, and finger insertion space 103a is a surface that intersects with the bottom surface of fixing portion 102 (display portion 10A of mobile terminal 10). .

The finger insertion space 103a has an area large enough for the little finger 15 to be inserted, and has a substantially drop shape. The direction in which the little finger 15 is inserted into the finger insertion space 103 a is the left-right direction and is substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the fixing portion 102 . That is, when the user inserts the little finger 15 into the finger insertion space 103 a , the little finger 15 is inserted in substantially the same direction as the horizontal direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the fixing portion 102 . In the present embodiment, in the state shown in FIG. 11A, the vertical width of the one end portion 131 and the other end portion 133 is 5.5 mm, and the vertical width of the finger support portion 132 is 10 mm. Although the length of the holding portion 103 in the left-right direction is 65 mm, it is not limited to this, and an arbitrary shape can be selected according to the size of the mobile terminal 10 .

Next, attachment of the terminal holder 101 to the mobile terminal 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The terminal holder 101 attaches the fixing part 102 to the center of the lower end of the mobile terminal 10 in the left-right direction so that the holding part 103 protrudes downward. At this time, it is desirable that the finger insertion space 103a and the portable terminal 10 are attached at a position where they do not overlap when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the fixing portion 102 (the front-rear direction).

Next, a method for manufacturing the terminal holder 101 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 11A, before the terminal holder 101 is assembled, the first fixing portion 121, the second fixing portion 122, and the holding portion 103 have a flat planar shape. From this state, when the first fixing portion 121 is joined to match the left end portion of the second fixing portion 122 as indicated by arrow H, the state shown in FIG. 11B is obtained. Thereby, a finger insertion space 103a, which is a space surrounded by the holding portion 103, is defined.

From the state shown in FIG. 11B, by attaching the surface member 123 to the upper surfaces of the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122, the connection step between the first fixing portion 121 and the second fixing portion 122 becomes less noticeable. do. At this time, an advertisement or the like may be printed on the surface member 123 . As a result, the end holder 101 as shown in FIG. 11(c) is obtained.

With such a configuration, the direction in which the little finger 15 is inserted into the finger insertion space 103 a is parallel to the bottom surface of the fixing portion 102 , so that it is the same direction as the little finger 15 faces when the mobile terminal 10 is held. Accordingly, the little finger 15 can be naturally inserted into the finger insertion space 103a without twisting the holding portion 103, and the mobile terminal 10 or the terminal storage case 110 can be stably held.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIG. The same reference numerals are assigned to substantially the same configurations as those of the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

The terminal holder 201 is composed of a fixing portion 202 and a holding portion 203 . The fixing part 202 and the holding part 203 are integrally made of a smooth material composed of three layers: a rubber layer, a glass fiber layer, and a silicon layer.

The fixing portion 202 has a first fixing portion 221, a second fixing portion 222, and a surface member 223, as shown in FIG. The first fixing portion 221 has a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction, and the second fixing portion 222 has a substantially rectangular shape that is longer in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction than the first fixing portion 221 . A fitting hole 222 a having substantially the same shape as that of the first fixing portion 221 is formed in the second fixing portion 222 . An adhesive is applied to the surface of the first fixing portion 221 and the bottom surface of the second fixing portion 222 so that the terminal holder 201 can be fixed to the back surface of the mobile terminal 10 . The surface of the first fixing portion 221 and the bottom surface of the second fixing portion 222 correspond to the fixing surface of the present invention. The surface member 223 is a member that covers the upper surfaces of the first fixing portion 221 and the second fixing portion 222, and an illustration (not shown) or the like is drawn on the surface. The terminal holder 201 can also be used as a promotional item by drawing a corporate advertisement or the like on the surface member 223 .

The holding portion 203 has one end portion 231 connected to the first fixing portion 221 , a finger support portion 232 connected to the one end portion 231 , and the other end connected to the second fixing portion 222 . and the other end 233 connected to the finger support 232 as well. In other words, the finger support portion 232 connects the one end portion 231 and the other end portion 233 in the horizontal direction in the developed view shown in FIG. 12(a). One end portion 231 is configured to have a smaller vertical width than the other end portion 233 . A connection portion between the one end portion 231 and the first fixing portion 221 is slightly widened in the vertical direction. The finger support portion 232 has a predetermined width in the vertical direction, and the width in the vertical direction is substantially the same from the finger support portion 232 to the other end portion 233. have. The horizontal direction corresponds to the connection direction of the present invention.

Since the finger support part 232 is a part that supports a finger when the terminal holder 201 is fixed to the mobile terminal 10 , the vertical width of the finger support part 232 is wider than that of the one end part 231 . A space surrounded by the one end portion 231, the finger support portion 232, and the other end portion 233 has a finger insertion space into which the little finger 15 of the user is inserted when the terminal holder 201 is fixed to the mobile terminal 10. Defined. Specifically, similarly to the third embodiment, the finger insertion space is formed so as to insert the little finger 15 in the left-right direction parallel to the bottom surface of the fixing portion 202 .

Next, a method for manufacturing the terminal holder 201 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12A, before the terminal holder 201 is assembled, the first fixing portion 221, the second fixing portion 222, and the holding portion 203 have a flat planar shape. From this state, when the first fixing portion 221 is joined so as to fit into the fitting hole 222a of the second fixing portion 222 as indicated by the arrow H, the state shown in FIG. 12(b) is obtained. Thereby, a finger insertion space, which is a space surrounded by the holding portion 203, is defined. At this time, since the first fixing portion 221 and the second fixing portion 222 have the same thickness, there is no step at the boundary between the first fixing portion 221 and the second fixing portion 222 .

From the state shown in FIG. 12B, by attaching the surface member 223 to the upper surfaces of the first fixing portion 221 and the second fixing portion 222, the connection boundary between the first fixing portion 221 and the second fixing portion 222 becomes less noticeable. do. At this time, an advertisement or the like may be printed on the surface member 223 . This results in a terminal holder 201 as shown in FIG. 12(c).

According to such a configuration, the first fixing portion 221 is fitted into the fitting hole 222a of the second fixing portion 222, so that the first fixing portion 221 and the second fixing portion 222 are overlapped so that the terminal holder can be attached to the end holder. When 201 is formed, it becomes smooth without unevenness. As a result, the terminal holder 201 having a good appearance can be realized.
