It is not particularly limited. Preferably, the protrusion 100 and the coupling hole 310 are each of both side ends of the first panel 100 and the third panel 300 so that the stand for a smart device can stably maintain a three-dimensional shape. The first and third panels may be provided as a pair in an area recessed in a predetermined length toward the inside of the first and third panels.

Referring to FIGS. 1B and 3B, at least one of the first and second panels may include an opening 240 having a predetermined size. Recently, various types of accessories are being combined and attached to smart devices according to the user's preference or personality. Accordingly, even in the case of a smart device of the same type, the appearance of the smart device may be significantly different depending on the type and location of the accessory attached by the user.

In particular, in order to maintain a proper gripping state during use without dropping the smart device, there are many cases where accessories such as a coin-type that can be extended and protruded or a ring that can be bent are attached to the rear of the smart device. Since part of the rear surface of the smart device protrudes, when mounting it on the stand for a smart device, the first and/or second panels 100 and 200 in a flat shape can provide a stable support for the rear surface of the smart device. none.

In contrast, the opening 240 may stably mount and support the smart device with the accessory attached to the rear surface according to the user's preference or personality. That is, the accessory attached to the rear of the smart device passes through the opening 240 as it is, and an area of the first and/or second panel excluding the opening 240 is the rear of the smart device to which the accessory is attached. It can provide support for areas other than the area.

The shape of the opening may be a polygon, a circle, an oval, or a combination of two or more of them, and there is no particular limitation as long as the accessory attached to the rear surface of the smart device can be accommodated through it.

The first to third panels may be made of a material having a fixed shape at room temperature. For example, the first to third panels may be made of one material selected from the group consisting of paper, plastic, elastomer, metal, and a combination of two or more of them, and preferably, in terms of productivity, portability, and economy. It may be paper, more preferably, it may be a cardboard processed to a predetermined thickness and strength, but is not limited thereto.

At least a portion of the surface of at least one of the first to third panels may include a non-slip member. As used herein, the term "non-slip member" refers to a member capable of preventing slip of an object (smart device or floor) in contact with at least one surface of the first to third panels. it means. The non-slip member may be, for example, one selected from the group consisting of rubber, elastomer, foam, adhesive sheet, and a combination of two or more of them, but is not limited thereto.

At least one surface of the first to third panels may include a reinforcing member that separates and fixes the first to third panels at predetermined intervals, respectively. 7 is a partial cross-sectional view of an exploded view of a stand for a smart device including a reinforcing member according to an embodiment of the present invention.
