As shown in Figures 2 to 8, the smartphone holder (A) according to the present invention, the main body 100 formed with the upper fixture 110, and the cover 200 for closing the open end of the main body 100 ), and a magnet 400 provided on the rear surface of the lower fixture 300 and the main body 100 in which the elastic restoring force acts toward the upper fixture 110 .

In the present specification, it has been described as a specific example that the upper fixture 110 is integrally configured with the main body 100, but unlike the upper fixture 110, the lower fixture 300 may be integrally configured with the main body 100. , or the upper fixture 110 and the lower fixture 300 may be configured as separate parts coupled to the body 100, of course.

First, the main body 100 is formed to support the upper end of the smartphone is composed of a cross-section approximately 'L'.

In addition, reinforcing ribs 120 in the form of a grid are provided to prevent the occurrence of bending when an external force is applied to the inside of the main body 100 .

And, the cover 200 is formed of a soft silicone material to increase the degree of adhesion to the smartphone and at the same time to prevent scratches when in close contact with the smartphone.

At this time, the coupling structure of the main body 100 and the cover 200 may be coupled to each other in a mutually fitting structure by mating, or by an adhesive structure by an adhesive, or by mixing an adhesive to the mutually fitting structure.

On the other hand, the cover 200 must be in face-to-face contact with the back of the smartphone, but lifting may occur when the smartphone is mounted, so that the protrusion of the embossed structure may be formed on the front of the cover 200 .

In addition, the lower fixture 300 is formed to support the lower end of the smartphone is composed of an approximately 'L'-shaped cross-section.

And, since the magnet 400 is composed of a neodymium magnet, the cradle of the present invention is attached to the iron exercise device by magnetic force.

On the other hand, the sliding groove 130 is formed in the main body 100, the lower fixture 300 is provided with a sliding rod 310 inserted into the sliding groove 130, the sliding rod 310 and the main body 100 A compression spring 500 providing elastic restoring force in the extension direction is installed therebetween.

In addition, stoppers 131 and 311 for elastically supporting the compression spring 500 are formed in the sliding groove 130 and the sliding rod 310 of the main body 100 , respectively.

Accordingly, the lower fixture 300 firmly fixes smartphones of various sizes (lengths) by the elastic restoring force of the compression spring 500 .

At this time, as soft silicone caps 320 and 111 for preventing slipping are installed in the upper fixture 300 and the lower fixture 110 , the smartphone is firmly fixed.

And, as shown in Figures 4 to 5, the back of the body 100 is formed with a magnet insertion groove 140 in which the magnet 400 is fixedly installed.

At this time, two or more magnet insertion grooves 140 are arranged in two rows to facilitate attachment to the circular pipe structure. Although the drawing shows the magnet insertion groove 140 in a 2*3 arrangement, the arrangement may be changed to 2*4, 3*3, or the like.

Preferably, the magnet or the magnet insertion groove may be arranged to form a matrix in which the number of rows is greater than the number of columns as shown. Accordingly, it is possible to evenly secure the bonding force to a polygonal pipe or a circular pipe structure that generally extends in the longitudinal direction (the phenomenon that the holder rotates relative to the adherent can also be effectively prevented), and in the horizontal direction Magnets composed of a plurality of rows are selectively attached to the extended structure to further maximize usability.

Meanwhile, a non-slip pad 600 is installed in the magnet insertion groove 140 . At this time, as the non-slip pad 600 is formed of a soft silicon material, it is in close contact with the metal material of the attachment portion to prevent slipping.

In addition, a pad installation groove 150 in which a non-slip pad 600 is installed is formed around the magnet insertion groove 140 of the main body 100 . Accordingly, since the non-slip pad 600 does not protrude from the body 100 by the pad installation groove 150 , the aesthetic feeling is improved.

The non-slip pad 600 may be disposed to cover at least one magnet 400 accommodated in the magnet insertion groove 140 . Meanwhile, in some of the present specification, the magnet 400 and the non-slip pad 600 may be collectively referred to as a magnetic fixing member or the like.

Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6B , it is possible to further facilitate the operation of moving the strap 700 in a state held by the user or attaching and detaching it to the exercise device.

On the other hand, the strap 700 is preferably configured to be spaced apart from the non-slip pad 600 in a state in which the strap 700 is drooping downward of the main body 100 . The above-mentioned 'sagging state' may mean a state in which the strap 700 is drooping downward due to the weight of the strap 700, and the strap 700 is moved downward so as to be in close contact with the body 100 by an external force. It can also mean the state of being pulled as far as possible. By configuring in this way, the strap 700 can prevent the non-slip pad 600 from being positioned between the external structures to prevent the cradle from being attached or fixed or from falling in the fixing force.

Alternatively, the strap 700 may be implemented to prevent itself from sagging in the non-slip pad 600 direction. For example, the hinge coupling portion between the strap groove 160 and the strap 700 may be configured so that the strap 700 does not rotate downward more than a certain level. As another example, a separate strap stopper (not shown) for preventing the strap from sagging in the region to which the strap 700 is fastened may be provided on the main body 100 or the like.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 5, the main body 100 is provided with a wireless charging module 800, so that charging is performed wirelessly when the smartphone is mounted.
