E-book reader

The present invention relates to an e-book reader, and more particularly to an e-book reader having a paper jam structure.

With the popularity of multi-function e-books such as reading, input, storage, etc., users generally read and record on e-books. However, users sometimes need to use paper, which is a habit. On the other hand, it is sometimes more convenient to use paper. For example, the information recorded on the paper is compared with the information displayed on the e-book; or, the e-book is opened with an uneditable document, and the user wants to make some comments on the document, if it is recorded on the e-book, it is required Open another editable document and make input. You need to switch between the two documents from time to time. It is more convenient to make a record on paper instead. However, since the portable e-book is carried by the user, it is likely that there is no flat desktop or the like in the environment for fixing the paper and enabling the user to make a reference or record. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a paper jam structure that can hold paper on an electronic book when needed for viewing or recording by a user.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide an e-book reader having a paper-clamping structure that stably holds a sheet of paper on the e-book reader.

An e-book reader comprising a housing provided with a groove, a middle frame fixed to a periphery of the groove, a display screen embedded in the middle frame, a clamping member received in the opening, a pivot, and Elastic parts. An opening is provided on a side wall of the casing, and a thickness of the middle frame corresponding to the opening is smaller than a thickness of other portions And forming a lap. The clamping member is provided with a sliding slot through which the pivoting member movably connects the clamping member to the inner surface of the housing on both sides of the opening. The clamp member slides along the sliding groove toward the display screen when pushed by an external force. The elastic member is fixed to the inner surface of the housing. Both ends of the clamping member abut against the elastic member and the overlapping portion, respectively.

The e-book reader uses the paper jam structure provided by itself to stably clamp the paper on the e-book reader, so that the user can write on the paper, and the paper-clamping structure can be accommodated in the opening of the e-book reader. Inside, the e-book reader looks neat and tidy.

3 is a partial exploded view of another angle of the e-book reader of FIG. 1.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the initial state of the e-book reader shown in Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing another state of the e-book reader shown in Figure 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the e-book reader 100 includes a housing 10, a middle frame 20, a paper jam structure 30, and a display screen 40. A groove 101 is formed on the surface of the casing 10. The middle frame 20 is annular and is fixed to the side wall of the groove 101. The display screen 40 is embedded in the inner side wall of the middle frame 20.

Referring to FIG. 2 together, the housing 10 is a rectangular frame having an opening 120 formed in a side wall 12. Two fixing members 14 and two fixing posts 16 are protruded from the inner surface of the side wall 12. The two fixing members 14 are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the opening 120. The two fixing posts 16 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the opening 120 and between the fixing member 14 and the outer edge of the side wall 12. The fixing member 14 is provided with a shaft hole 140.

Referring to FIG. 3 together, the thickness of the middle frame 20 corresponding to the opening 120 is smaller than the thickness of other portions. A lap 21. A positioning strip 22 is convexly formed on the outer surface of the lap portion 21. The edge of the lap portion 21 is provided with a notch 24.

The paper structure 30 includes a clamp 32, a pivot 144, and a spring 34. The clamping member 32 is provided with a sliding slot 3260 through which the pivot 144 movably connects the clamping member 32 to the two fixing members 14. The clamping member 32 includes a body 322 and a clamping member 324, and the body 322 has a substantially arcuate plate shape. The sum of the thickness of the body 322 and the lap portion 21 is substantially equal to the thickness of other portions of the middle frame 20, so that the paper sandwich structure 30 is placed on the electronic book reader 100 at the same level as the casing 10, and is flat and beautiful. A pivoting portion 326 is further protruded from the clamping member 32. The pivoting portion 326 and the clamping member 324 are respectively protruded from opposite ends of the body 322 and extend in the same direction. In this embodiment, the pivoting portion 326 protrudes from the inner surface of the body 322, and the clamping member 324 is bent from the other end of the body 322.

The chute 3260 is disposed on the pivoting portion 326, and the pivot 144 passes through the chute 3260 and is slidable in the chute 3260 in a direction perpendicular to the edge of the side wall 12. In this embodiment, the pivoting portions 326 are two and symmetrically disposed on both side edges of the body 322.

Two adjacent elongated slots 3220 are defined in the body 322 adjacent to the clamping member 324. The two slots 3220 are parallel to the clamping member 324. The shape and position of the groove 3220 corresponds to the positioning bar 22 on the overlapping portion 21, and the positioning bar 22 can be accommodated.

The clamping member 324 is sized and positioned to correspond to the notch 24 in the lap portion 21 and can be received within the notch 24.

The elastic piece 34 is substantially W-shaped, and includes a fixing portion 342 at both ends, a pivot portion 346 located at the center, and a connecting portion 344 connected to the fixing portion 342. A support point 3460 is convexly disposed on the pivoting portion 346. The fixing portion 342 defines a through hole 3420, and is sleeved on the fixing post 16 of the side wall 12 through the through hole 3420, and the fixing portion 342 is fixed to the fixing post 16 by the screw 3422. In other embodiments, the elastic piece 34 may be fixed to the side wall 12 by other means such as engagement, riveting, or the like.

When assembled, the body 322 of the clamping member 32 is erected on the overlapping portion 21 of the middle frame 20, and the pivot 144 is passed through the shaft hole 140 of the fixing member 14 and the sliding groove 3260 of the pivoting portion 326, thereby clamping The member 32 is movably coupled to the side wall 12 of the housing 10.

After the assembly is completed, referring to FIG. 4, the clamping member 32 is received in the opening 120 of the side wall 12. The clamping member 324 is received in the notch 24 of the overlapping portion 21, and the positioning strip 22 on the overlapping portion 21 is received. In the slot 3220 that is closer to the clamping member 324, the support point 3460 on the spring 34 abuts against the inner surface of the body 322.

Referring to FIG. 5 together, the user pushes the clamping member 32 in the direction of the display screen 40 until the pivot 144 is stopped at one end of the sliding slot 3260. At this time, the positioning bar 22 on the lap portion 21 is received in the groove 3220 away from the clamping member 324. The pressing member 32 is pressed near one end of the pivoting portion 326, and the clamping member 32 is rotated counterclockwise about the pivoting portion 326, and the clamping member 324 is slightly tilted. At this time, the paper is placed between the display screen 40 and the clamping member 324, and then the external force is removed, and the holding member 32 clamps the paper on the display screen 40. Since the elastic piece 34 exerts an elastic force on the end of the holding member 32 close to the pivoting portion 326, the holding member 32 can clamp the paper tighter.

The paper jam structure 30 of the e-book reader 100 can stably hold the paper on the e-book reader 100 when the user needs it, so that the user can write on the paper, and can be accommodated in the e-book reader when the user finishes writing. The opening 120 of the 100 does not affect the aesthetics of the e-book reader while being convenient for the user.

In addition, those skilled in the art can make other changes in the spirit of the present invention. Of course, the changes made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
