Generally, a portable terminal is a portable communication device or display such as a mobile phone, a PDA, a PMP, a navigation device, a game device, a tablet PC, and an electronic dictionary, It is a device that provides various functions such as listening.

In recent years, touch phones and smart phones equipped with tablet pads capable of touching and manipulating screens have been released.

Among these mobile terminals, recently introduced smart phones and the like have a wide variety of applications such as document operation, Internet use, e-mail reception, and the like, as well as a function of receiving and receiving a telephone or a text message.

As a result of such rapid changes in the information society and the convergence of IT devices, the spread of mobile devices capable of being carried is expanding. In recent years, globalization of devices such as Apple's iPad, Samsung's Galaxy Tab, Demand for mobile phones has increased as companies have introduced high-end mobile handsets.

In the early stage of the mobile terminal, the size of the mobile terminal is smaller than the size of the hand of the male and female, and it is easy for the user to grasp the mobile terminal with one hand relatively easily. However, , Which is close to or exceeding the average hand size of adult males and females. As a result, the portable terminal slipped off from the hand and fell to the floor during use.

In addition, the use of mobile terminals without regard to time and place has increased the number of people who complain of pain in the wrist, shoulder, neck, etc., due to limitations of body movement can do.

In order to solve such a problem, techniques have been proposed that enable a user to easily grasp a portable terminal. For example, Korean Patent No. 10-1370928 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1) has proposed a case for protecting a mobile phone.

In the prior art 1, a first holder coupling part is formed on one side or both sides, a second holder coupling part is formed on both sides and a lower side of the back side, and a case body for receiving and protecting the mobile phone on the front side; And one end of the holder is detachably attached to the first and second holder coupling portions of the case body, and the holder is formed with a first finger hole through which the user can hold the mobile phone by holding the finger.

However, the prior art 1 has an advantage in that the portable terminal can be held with one hand, but since the holder coupling part is previously formed on the long sides of the case and the holder is coupled thereto, the user can not arbitrarily set the position of the holder, The holder coupling portion can not be formed on the short side where the antenna, the earphone port, the charger port, and the like are formed, so that the portable terminal can not be gripped horizontally.

In addition, in Korean Patent No. 10-1323353 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 2), a 'handle and a mount for portable terminals' has been proposed.

The prior art 2 has a first support for holding the main body upright at a predetermined angle on the floor surface and a second support for holding the finger, so that even if the portable terminal is used for a long time, To provide a handle and a mount.

However, in the prior art 2, since the bottom of the portable terminal is supported by the entire palm as shown in Fig. 1, the finger can not be used and the screen of the portable terminal can not be operated. And it still required both hands to operate the screen.

In addition, in Korean Patent No. 10-1344639 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 3), a smart phone mounting device has been proposed.

Prior Art 3 includes a main body in which a cut-out portion is formed at an edge of a smartphone so as to be detachable, each corner portion is cut to form a cut-out portion, and a support groove is formed adjacent to the cut-out portion in a rear direction of the smartphone; The smartphone may be fixed to the support groove of the main body after being rotated at a predetermined angle to the back surface of the smartphone so as to be able to support the smartphone, And a fingertip portion in which a support protrusion is formed so as to perform a slip prevention and a mounting function at the same time.

However, the prior art 3 also has a finger insertion portion formed at the corner, so that the user can not arbitrarily set the position of the finger insertion portion and can not grip the portable terminal horizontally. In addition, .

Meanwhile, the inventor of the present invention has conducted much research and investment in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and after the user has continued his research and investment, he can grasp the back surface of the portable terminal while holding it with his fingers, Developed a technology capable of erecting and mounting the terminal, and filed a patent under the name of "portable terminal holder", which is registered in Patent Registration No. 10-1468850 (hereinafter referred to as "Prior Art 4").

The prior art 4 includes a base member detachably attached to a back surface of a protective case of a portable terminal (T) or a portable terminal on one side; A body having a rectangular parallelepiped shape rotatably coupled to the base member 100; A finger insertion unit slidably coupled to the main body so as to be in / out; The main body is opened at one side so that the main body can enter and exit the finger insertion portion, a stopper protrudes inside, and the finger insertion portion is limited in sliding on one side by the stopper And a finger insertion hole is formed on the other side of the portable terminal or the case for protecting the portable terminal so that the user's finger can be inserted from the front of the portable terminal or the case for protecting the portable terminal to support the back surface of the protective case of the portable terminal or the portable terminal.

Accordingly, the prior art 4 allows the user to select and hold the posture of the terminal in any posture of the portable terminal, and it is possible to use the thumb even during the gripping, so that the user can grasp the terminal with one hand while operating the screen, However, it is effective to use a handheld device using one hand.

However, in the portable terminal holder of the above-described prior art 4, since the cradle is simply hinged to the holder, the cradle can not be fixed. Therefore, even if only a little force is applied during the mounting of the portable terminal, In addition to not being able to perform properly, even if only a little force is applied to the cradle, the connection part between the cradle and the cradle is broken and the hinge function is lost. There is no device to fix the cradle, so a hand injury may occur due to the momentary cradle There is a problem.

In addition, the base member to which the portable terminal or the cover of the portable terminal is detachably attached is protruded from the back surface of the main body so that the overall thickness of the base member is thicker. In addition, since the complicated structure of the ratchet for fixing the finger insertion portion increases the failure occurrence rate, There is also a problem of rising.
