Abstract

1. A device for holding a mobile device, characterized in that it is presented in the form of at least one fingertip and at least one corresponding part, mounted on the device or its case. The device according to claim 1, characterized in that part of the fingertips are statically connected to each other and / or to any of the corresponding parts. The device according to claim 1, characterized by the presence of at least one responding part, statically fixed on the mobile device or its cover.

Description

The technical field to which the utility model relates.

This utility model (hereinafter referred to as the Device) relates to devices for holding mobile devices in a hand

Reliability and grip comfort

Recently, in the most diverse classes of mobile devices (hereinafter referred to as the Device), there has been a tendency to increase the diagonal of the screen. However, the wider the Device, the less convenient and reliable one-handed grip, the more likely it is to drop the Device during use. With a standard grip (figure 1 and figure 2), the user's fingers are almost completely behind the back cover of the held device.

On the one hand, such a grip is not reliable enough - in the absence of proper effort, the Device may “slip out”.

On the other hand, if you need to control the Device with a sufficiently large touch screen with one hand, the user may not be able to reach the most distant parts of the screen with the thumb of the hand in which the Device is held (see figure 2 and figure 3). Attempting to reach remote parts of the screen may cause discomfort and / or decrease grip reliability.

State of the art

Currently, there is a whole class of devices for securely holding various devices in the hand.

Glove, with mount for mobile phone

PCT / FR2001 / 003158 (IPC A41D 19/00) describes a glove on which a mobile phone can be attached. However, obviously, this invention has little to do with the described Device, since:

1. A full-sized glove is used, unlike fingertips.

2. The position in which the mobile device is fixed in the hand is significantly different

3. The method of fixing the device is different (in particular, the strip with which the device is mounted may interfere with the user interacting with the touch screen)

Camera strap

Widely known and used in practice straps for video cameras, for example, described in EP 1547485 A2, also have only distant similarities with the described Device, since:

1. The position in which the mobile device is fixed in the hand is significantly different

2. Described in EP 1547485 A2 (IPC A45C 13/30), the strap does not fix the user's fingers individually.

Utility Model Disclosure

The described device (hereinafter referred to as the Device), Allows you to fix the electronic device in the user's hand with the help of fingertips securely attached to the back cover of the device. The device consists of two parts:

1) Fingers attached to the fingers of the user's hand.

The device may include one or more fingertips, connected (in a detachable or non-detachable manner), or independent.

2) The responding part, fixed in some way on the Device.

Between themselves, these parts can be connected in various ways, for example, on the principle of a textile fastener (Velcro) or using a clothing button. In addition, parts of the device can be made inseparable by fastening them in any way. Moreover, the Device may be fixedly attached to the Device or its removable panel by the manufacturer.

Part 1. Fingers

Various embodiments of the Tool are possible, with different numbers and sizes of fingertips (an example of a stirrup fastened together by the fingertips is shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5).

Fingers can be made of elastic material, with the aim of a more reliable fixation. In addition, when using elastic materials, the convenience of using the device for a wide range of faces with various anatomical features (finger size, their curvature, etc.) is achieved. If necessary, the material of the fingertips can wrinkle (thereby, for example, without interfering with storing the device in your pocket).

Part 2. The responding part

The responding part of the Device is statically fixed on the Device or its cover. On the Device (or its case) there may be several responding parts designed for different grip. Also, the cover may be entirely made of material suitable for use as a corresponding part.

Similar to the corresponding part, the part can be fixed on clothes, a keychain or in another place where the first part is convenient to fasten if it is not currently in use.

Using

The user inserts the fingers (or, for example, only the index finger) into the fingertips, as shown in FIG. Then the fingertips are fixed on the corresponding part of the device in one of the possible orientations, convenient for performing the required task

Firstly, the device is firmly fixed in the hand - even in the case of complete relaxation of the muscles of the hands and / or shaking, etc., the device will not fall out.

Secondly, the Device provides such a position of the hand relative to the Device, in which with a thumb of this hand you can reach a much larger fraction of the surface of the device (see Fig. 10 and Fig. 12). This not only gives additional comfort when using the Device, but, in some cases, allows you to perform operations with one hand, which in the absence of this device with one hand is extremely difficult to perform (Fig. 11).

Brief Description of the Drawings

figure 1 "standard grip" - the electronic device is held at the expense of the palm and fingers located behind the device.

figure 2, the user of the electronic device cannot touch the right edge of the screen with a thumb.

highlighted in yellow - available for touching with the "average" brush size; highlighted in red - not convenient for most users.

a) A device with a screen diagonal of ~ 90 mm (when using the "standard grip")

b) A device with a screen diagonal of ~ 105 mm (when using the "standard grip")

c) A device with a screen diagonal of ~ 150 mm (when using the "standard grip")

d) A device with a screen diagonal of ~ 150 mm (when using the described Device).

Utility Model Implementation

This device is industrially applicable, because can be used with many electronic devices. In this case, its manufacture uses widely available textile materials. For example, widely available textile fasteners already with a contact area of several square centimeters provide a force of separation of the components of several hundred grams of force, which is quite enough to hold a not too heavy mobile device.

Example

Figure 4-figure 12 shows an example of the described Device, implemented using textile fasteners and elastic tape. The “soft” side of which is glued to the mobile phone case in two places. An elastic tape is sewn to the reverse side of the other fastener with four seams, using ordinary sewing thread, and this design forms three fingertips (see figure 4).

The resulting device is characterized by ease of manufacture, reliability and ergonomics.
