Description

Protective cover and its connecting element

The invention relates to a protective cover and a connecting assembly thereof.

With the advancement of technology, various portable electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, PDA handheld computers, etc., have begun to spread. Most of these electronic products are fashionable, beautiful in appearance and increasingly powerful in function. They not only become a tool for people's daily life, but also become more fashionable accessories and even identity symbols for people to carry at any time, but if they do not pay attention to use, If placed at random, the appearance will be easier to scratch, so people usually add a soft protective cover to the surface of their electronics.

However, the soft protective cover is usually not easily connected with the related plastic parts of the electronic product, and the connection between the existing soft protective cover and the related plastic parts of the electronic product is usually connected by glue adhesion, ultrasonic welding, hot-melt welding or stitching. However, in the electronic products using the above connection method, the assembly process of the relevant plastic parts and the assembly process of the plastic parts and the protective cover are complicated, and the repair of the defective products will damage the structure and appearance of the protective cover and related plastic parts, and is also inconvenient for the user. Change the protective cover at any time according to your own preferences.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a connecting member to solve the above problem.

A connecting member for attaching a soft protective cover body, the connecting member comprising a snap connector, a hollow sleeve and a rigid shaft. One end of the latching connector is provided with a sliding slot closed at one end thereof, and the latching connector is further provided with a card hole at the other end of the sliding slot, and the sliding slot has an elongated opening. The hollow sleeve is connected to the protective cover body by a piece-like connecting portion having a cross-sectional dimension larger than a width of the opening, the connecting portion having a thickness smaller than a width of the opening. The shaft penetrates into the sleeve, and the sleeve is inserted into the chute along with the rotating shaft, and the connecting portion passes through the opening of the chute.

It is also necessary to provide a protective cover to solve the above problems.

A protective cover comprising a soft protective cover body and a connecting element, the connecting element comprising a snap connector, a hollow sleeve and a rigid shaft. One end of the latching connector is provided with a sliding slot closed at one end thereof, and the latching connector is further provided with a card hole at the other end of the sliding slot, and the sliding slot has an elongated opening. The hollow sleeve is connected to the protective cover body by a piece-like connecting portion having a cross-sectional dimension larger than a width of the opening, the connecting portion having a thickness smaller than a width of the opening. The shaft penetrates into the sleeve, and the sleeve is inserted into the chute along with the rotating shaft, and the connecting portion passes through the opening of the chute.

The protective cover of the utility model is provided with a sliding groove on the snap connector and a corresponding sleeve on the protective cover main body, and is engaged and disengaged by the sleeve on the protective cover main body and the sliding groove of the snap connector The utility model can effectively solve the problem that the main body of the soft protective cover is not easy to be connected with the plastic parts related to the electronic device, and is difficult to be disassembled and difficult to repair after being connected, and has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, convenient assembly, and convenient replacement of different protective cover bodies by the user.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a protective cover 100 includes a connecting component 20 and a soft protective cover body 30 . One end of the connecting component 20 is connected to the protective cover main body 30 , and the connecting component 20 is opposite to the protective cover main body 30 . One end is connected to an electronic device (not shown, such as but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet, an e-book, a netbook, a PDA, etc.) to fix the protective cover main body 30 to the electronic device.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 together, the connecting member 20 includes a snap connector 21, a hollow sleeve 22 disposed on the cover body 30, and a rigid shaft 23 mated with the sleeve 22. The latching connector 21 is connected to the end of the sliding cover 211. The latching member 21 is provided with a latching hole 211 at the other end of the sliding slot 211. The chute 211 has an elongated opening 214.

The protective cover main body 30 includes a one-piece body 31 and a sheet-like connecting portion 33 connecting the body 31 and the sleeve 22. In the embodiment, the body 31, the sleeve 22 and the connecting portion 33 are integrally formed. The size of the cross section of the sleeve 22 is larger than the width of the opening 214, and the thickness of the connecting portion 33 is smaller than the width of the opening 214. The sleeve 22 is engaged in the sliding groove 211 to connect the protective cover main body 30 to the snap connector 21. In this embodiment, the sleeve 22 of the protective cover main body 30 is also soft. The material of the surface layer of the protective cover main body 30 may be a cortical layer or a cloth layer, and may be bent to wrap the electronic device. The surface layer of the main body 30 can also be designed into various fashion shapes and matched with bright colors, so that the electronic device having the protective cover main body 30 is more fashionable and beautiful.

In the present embodiment, the rotating shaft 23 is made of a hard material such as plastic or metal. When assembled, the shaft 23 penetrates into the sleeve 22, and the sleeve 22 is inserted into the sliding groove 211 from the hole 213 together with the rotating shaft 23, thereby guiding the sheet-like connecting portion 33 from the sliding groove 211. The opening 214 passes through, and the protective cover main body 30 is coupled to the snap connector 21. Since the cross-sectional dimension of the sleeve 22 is larger than the width of the opening 214, the sleeve 22 containing the rotating shaft 23 cannot be removed from the opening 214.

In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the chute 211, the sleeve 22, and the rotating shaft 23 is circular. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding groove 211, the sleeve 22 and the rotating shaft 23 may both be square or other shapes.

The snap connector 21 further includes a plug 212 that mates with the aperture 213. The plug 212 is inserted into the hole 213 to block the other end of the sliding slot 211, and the sleeve 22 is fixed in the sliding slot 211 together with the rotating shaft 23. When the protective cover main body 30 needs to be separated from the snap connector 21, the plug 212 only needs to be pulled out from the latch hole 213, and the sleeve 22 and the rotating shaft 23 are pulled from the sliding slot 211. The protective cover main body 30 can be taken out.

The protective cover of the utility model is provided with a sliding groove on the snap connector and a corresponding sleeve on the protective cover main body, and is engaged and disengaged by the sleeve on the protective cover main body and the sliding groove of the snap connector The utility model can effectively solve the problem that the main body of the soft protective cover is not easy to be connected with the plastic parts related to the electronic device, and is difficult to be disassembled and difficult to repair after being connected, and has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, convenient assembly, and convenient replacement of different protective cover bodies by the user.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, as long as the above embodiments are within the spirit of the present invention. Changes and changes fall within the scope of this new claim.
