Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The earphone jack accessory of the present invention is used for the portable terminal 20 having the earphone jack 10 in the form of a hole, and has a configuration including an insertion part 100 and a decoration part 200.

The accessory for the earphone jack of the present invention is to protect it by being inserted into the earphone jack when not using the earphone.

Insertion portion 100 is inserted into the earphone jack 10 is coupled to the rod-shaped and the outer surface is made of an insulating material. At least a predetermined thickness from the outer surface of the insertion portion 100 is preferably made of a rubber material such as silicon for cushioning, insulation and slipping. If the inserting portion 100 is too hard, the spring strength of the earphone jack 10 may be dropped when used for a long time, which may cause a poor conduction with the earphone plug.

On the other hand, the insert portion 100 may be in the form of irregularities such as earphone plug. Although it may be the same as the earphone plug as shown in Fig. 1, but it is intended to prevent falling out, it may be in the form of irregularities in which various grooves (110, see Fig. 2) is repeated.

The decoration part 200 is formed on the upper part of the insertion part 100 for the purpose of decoration or to be conveniently held and used. The user can easily insert the insert 100 into or out of the earphone jack 10 using the decoration part 200.

The decoration part 200 may be made of various shapes and materials, and serves as an accessory. The decoration part 200 may be provided in various shapes such as a character, a car, a star, a heart, a butterfly, a dice, a flower, and the like. The material of the decoration part 200 may also be variously selected from metals, synthetic resins, glass, wood, fibers, and the like. Sometimes it may be in the form of a transparent capsule and a liquid substance may be injected therein. If holograms or fluorescent materials are used, the decorative effect may be enhanced.

When used as a promotional material, advertisements or company logos may be disclosed in the decoration part 200. The decoration part 200 may have a larger volume than the insertion part 100 so as to be easily held by hand.

Functionality may be added to the decoration part 200, for example, a small LED lamp, alarm or USB may be installed.

According to the present embodiment, the string member 300 may be further connected to the decoration part 200. The strap member 300 may be a conventional strap that is widely used in a portable terminal. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the chain 300 ′ may be used as shown in FIG. 5. The string member 300 may be connected through a string fixture 310 which is integrally provided at the lower portion of the decoration part 200. In order to connect one end of the string member 300 to the string anchorage 310, a string connecting groove 315 may be recessed in a groove shape on the outer circumferential surface of the string anchorage 310. A connection ring (not shown) may be formed in place of the string connecting groove 315.

Using the strap member 300 by connecting the strap member 300 to the hook (not shown) of the portable terminal it is possible to prevent the loss of accessories. However, the string member 300 may be used as a means for hanging accessories as well as preventing the loss of the accessories themselves. In the case of digital devices (for example, smartphones) that are not widely used in recent years, the string member 300 is suspended by a small item (for example, agenda for charging, USB, a doll, etc.) or the digital device is fingered. It can be useful to put it on for a while.

According to the present embodiment, the insertion unit 100 and the decoration unit 200 may be capable of being separated and coupled as required by the user. The screwing method is suitable so that the coupling method cannot be easily removed, but a method using protrusions and grooves may also be adopted. Of course, various other methods may be employed. As shown in the drawing, the female thread is provided in the decorative part 200 to the string holder 310, and the male thread 150 is provided in the inserting part 100.

Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

According to this embodiment, the core material 120 is provided in the insertion part 100. Since the remaining components are as described above, only the reference numerals are described and the description is omitted.

According to this embodiment, the insertion portion 100 is composed of a core material (120 120) and the skin (130 130). The cores 120 and 120 ′ may be wire rods as shown in FIG. 4, or may be thin springs that may be elastically squeezed as shown in FIG. 5. The skin 130, 130 'may be made of rubber, as described above. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the cores 130 and 130 ′ are provided with the core fitting holes 140 and 140 ′ along the longitudinal direction in order to insert the cores 120 and 120 ′ into the epidermis 130 and 130 ′. Core material (120, 120 ') is fixedly installed in the decoration portion 200.

The rod-shaped core material 120 shown in FIG. 4 is for protecting the insertion part 100 by preventing the insertion part 100 from being excessively bent when the insertion part 100 is inserted into or removed from the earphone jack 10. The spring-shaped core material 120 ′ shown in FIG. 5 allows the insertion part 100 to be elastically supported on the inner wall of the earphone jack 10 to improve fixability without damaging the earphone jack 10. It is for. In this case, the skin 130 ′ may be thin.

What has been described above is only a few embodiments based on the technical idea of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications and additions without departing from the scope of the idea.
