The present disclosure described herein relates to an attachment-type auxiliary device, and more particularly, to an attachment-type auxiliary device using a magnet that is used in conjunction with a terminal.
Recently, attachment-type auxiliary devices that can be selectively attached to and detached from terminals through magnetism with magnetic substances built into the terminals have been used in conjunction with terminals including smartphones and tablets. Through this, there is improved the portability of attachment-type auxiliary devices used in conjunction with terminals.
However, a conventional attachment-type auxiliary device attached to a terminal has the risk of being detached and lost due to external impact in the state of being in close contact with the terminal, and also has the disadvantage of being more easily detached when external force is applied in a specific direction. A conventional accessory attached to a terminal through an adhesive material has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to detach the accessory from the terminal.
In connection with this, Korean Patent No. 10-1851292 discloses a “card case for a smart device equipped with a ring in an integrated form,” and Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2022-0070729 discloses a “card wallet for a mobile phone.”
However, the conventional technologies do not disclose a technology that can be easily attached to and detached from a terminal through magnetism and can also effectively prevent the phenomenon of being separated while sliding by external force in a magnetically attached state.
An object of the present disclosure is to provide an attachment-type auxiliary device using a magnet that can stably maintain the state of being magnetically coupled to a terminal through a coating part having various types of shapes.
In addition, objects of the present disclosure are not limited to the object described above, and it is obvious that other objects may be derived from the following description.

The accessory part may include a pocket that is coupled with the detachable body with the accommodation space disposed therebetween so that it is formed to cover the accommodation space.
The accessory part may include a rotation member that is rotatably coupled to the rear side of the detachable body through a torque hinge.
The coating part may include: a first non-slip member formed in a ring shape; and a second non-slip member formed in a shape surrounding both sides and lower portion of the first non-slip member.
The coating part may further include a plurality of additional second non-slip members that are formed to be spaced apart from each other by the same distance as the circumferential lengths thereof are sequentially increased.
The coating part may further include a plurality of third non-slip members that are formed in the shape of circular arcs extending long to both sides and are disposed to be spaced apart on different horizontal lines under the second non-slip member.
The coating part may further include a plurality of fourth non-slip members that are formed to extend obliquely from corresponding positions between the lower corners of the detachable body and the third non-slip members.
The coating part may further include fifth non-slip members that are formed to extend obliquely from corresponding positions between the upper corners of the detachable body and the second non-slip member.
The accommodation space may be formed to be opened upward, and a part of the lower portion of the accessory part may be depressed to form a lower hole that connects the accommodation space and an external space.
A part of the center of the upper portion of the detachable body may be depressed to form a through hole that connects the accommodation space and the external space.
The magnet may be formed in a ring shape surrounding the through hole.
The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

In the following description of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet, a third direction 3 refers to a direction extending obliquely toward one side and lower portion of the detachable part 200, and a fourth direction 4 refers to a direction extending obliquely toward the other side and lower portion of the detachable part 200.
The attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet is detachably coupled to the rear surface of a terminal 5 having a built-in magnetic substance through built-in magnets 220 and 230. There is an advantage in that a personal item 10, accommodated in the accessory part 300, and the terminal 5 may be carried with one hand.
The attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet improves fixation force and adhesive force for the rear surface of the terminal 5 through the coating part 400 applied onto the front surface of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100, and increases the slip resistance of the detachable part 200 to the rear surface of the terminal 5.
A phenomenon in which the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet slides along the rear surface of the terminal 5 in the state of being magnetically coupled to the terminal 5 and being in close contact with the surface of the terminal 5 is prevented by the coating part 400.
The attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet may be attached to the rear surface of a case 7 into which a magnetic substance having different front and rear polarities is built, and the case 7 is worn on the terminal 5 and formed to cover the edges and rear side of the terminal 5.
When the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet is attached to the terminal 5 corresponding to a smartphone, the front side of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet is magnetically coupled with the terminal 5 while being in close contact with the rear surface of the terminal 5 except for the portion where a camera module 6 is installed.
The attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet magnetically coupled to the terminal 5 is prevented from sliding and moving in various directions due to the external force that is generated in the process of discharging the personal item 10 accommodated in the accommodation space 320 to the outside or inserting it into the accommodation space 320 again.
The attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet is coupled to the terminal 5 by the adhesive force of the coating part 400 formed on the front side of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 and the magnetic force of the magnets 220 and 230 built into the attachment-type auxiliary device 100, and the slip resistance against external force is improved by the adhesive force of the coating part 400 and the magnetic force of the magnets 220 and 230.

Alternatively, the detachable body 210 may be fabricated to have a relatively small area when it is fabricated to be used in conjunction with the terminal 5 corresponding to a foldable phone having a relatively small rear or front area while being folded.
The through hole 201 is formed such that a part of the rear surface of the detachable body 210 having an elliptical shape extending vertically and located at the center of the upper portion of the detachable body 210 is depressed forward by a predetermined distance and allows the front space and rear space of the detachable body 210 to communicate with each other.
The magnet 220 is formed in a ring shape surrounding the through hole 201, is built into and coupled to the detachable body 210, and is fabricated to be magnetically coupled with a magnetic substance built into the terminal 5.
When the front surface of the detachable body 210 is disposed adjacent to the rear surface of the terminal 5, the magnet 220 is moved toward the terminal 5 or the magnetic substance built into the case 7 through magnetism, and moves the detachable body 210 toward the terminal 5 or the case 7.
The magnetic force between the magnet 220 and the magnetic substance causes the coating part 400 coupled to the front surface of the detachable body 210 to come into close contact with the rear surface of the terminal 5, and the slip resistance between the detachable body 210 and the terminal 5 is increased by the adhesive force of the coating part 400.

The sixth non-slip members 910 and 920 are formed in a shape surrounding a through hole 201 or a magnet 220 at a corresponding position between a first non-slip member 410 and the through hole 201, and are coupled to the front surface of the detachable body 210 in the state of being arranged in the shape of concentric circles.
In the attachment-type auxiliary device 110 using a magnet, the thickness between the rear surfaces of the first to fifth non-slip members 410, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 710, 720, 730, 740, 810, and 820 and the front surfaces of the first to fifth non-slip members 410, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 710, 720, 730, 740, 810, and 820, which are coupled to the detachable body 210, is 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
In the attachment-type auxiliary device 110 using a magnet, the sixth non-slip members 910 and 920 are formed, and the surfaces of the sixth non-slip members 910 and 920 and the first to fifth non-slip members 410, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 710, 720, 730, 740, 810, and 820 are matted to become matte through a corrosion or abrasion operation.
Since the surfaces of the sixth non-slip members 910 and 920 and the first to fifth non-slip members 410, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 710, 720, 730, 740, 810, and 820 are matted, fine holes are formed on the surfaces.
The close contact area between the sixth non-slip members 910 and 920 and the first to fifth non-slip members 410, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 710, 720, 730, 740, 810, and 820 and the terminal 5 is smaller than that in the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet due to the above-described fine holes, with the result that the adhesive force for the terminal 5 is relatively reduced.
Although the attachment-type auxiliary device 110 using a magnet has lower adhesive force than the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet, the addition of the sixth non-slip members 910 and 920 increases the adhesive force by a predetermined amount, thereby providing the effect of reinforcing slip resistance.

In the attachment-type auxiliary device 120 using a magnet, the thickness 15 between the rear surfaces of the first to fifth non-slip members 410, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 710, 720, 730, 740, 810, and 820 and the front surfaces of the first to fifth non-slip members 410, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 710, 720, 730, 740, 810, and 820, which are coupled to a detachable part 200, is 0.3 mm.
In the attachment-type auxiliary device 120 using a magnet, the thickness 15 of the first to fifth non-slip members 410, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670, 680, 710, 720, 730, 740, 810, and 820 is longer than that of the coating part 400 of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet, so that the magnetic force between the magnet 220 and the magnetic substance is lower than the magnetic force of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet, with the result that the attachment-type auxiliary device 120 using a magnet is suitable for use by children or the elderly.

The attachment-type auxiliary device 130 using a magnet includes a detachable part 240, an accessory part 340 and a coating part 400, the detachable part 240 includes a detachable body 250, and the accessory part 340 includes a rotation member 350 and a rear cover 360.
The detachable part 240 is formed in the shape of a square container, and is detachably coupled to a magnetic substance, built into the rear side of a terminal 5 or case 7, through built-in magnets 220 and 230.
More specifically, the detachable body 250 is formed in the shape of a square container in which an insertion space 255 is open rearward, and magnets 220 and 230 are built into the inner portion of the detachable body 250 adjacent to the coating part 400 so that the detachable body 250 is magnetically coupled with the magnetic substance inside the terminal 5 or the case 7.
When the detachable body 250 is fabricated to be used for the terminal 5 corresponding to a tablet having a relatively large area rather than the terminal 5 corresponding to a smartphone, the shape of the detachable body 250 may be fabricated to have a relatively large area.
Alternatively, when the detachable body 250 is fabricated to be used for the terminal 5 corresponding to a foldable phone having a relatively small rear or front area while being folded, the shape of the detachable body 250 may be fabricated to have a relatively small area.
The magnet 220 is formed in a ring shape, is built into the detachable body 250 at a position corresponding to the upper portion of the detachable body 250, is coupled with the detachable body 250, and is fabricated to be magnetically coupled with the magnetic substance built into the terminal 5 or case 7.
The magnet 230 is built into the detachable body 250 at a position spaced apart from the lower portion of the magnet 220, and is formed in the shape of an elliptical plate extending long vertically. Depending on the shape or size of the detachable body 250, a magnet may be separated from the detachable body 250, or may be additionally built into the detachable body 250.
The coating part 400 is applied onto the front surface 251 of the detachable part 240 at a position symmetrical to the accessory part 340 with the detachable part 240 in between, and is made of a material having slip resistance.
The coating part 400 is made of silicone, polymer, or a natural material having slip resistance. Only some shapes selected from a concentric circular pattern extending around the magnet 220 and corresponding to the front area and shape of the detachable part 240 are formed and applied onto the front surface 251 of the detachable part 240.
The accessory part 340 is formed in the shape of a card wallet in which an accommodation space 355 is open upward, and is coupled to be rotated based on a part of the upper portion of the detachable part 240 and an axis extending to both sides. According to the rotation, the accessory part 340 is inserted into an insertion space 255 and coupled with the detachable part 240, or is moved to a position behind the detachable part 240.
When, in the state in which the accessory part 340 is separated from the insertion space 255 and rotated by a predetermined distance to a position behind the detachable part 240, the terminal 5 is tilted and the accessory part 340 is brought into close contact with a support surface, the terminal 5 is placed in a tilted state.
More specifically, the rotation member 350 is formed in the shape of a square pad, and a part of the upper portion of the rotation member 350 is rotatably coupled to a part of the upper portion of the detachable body 250 through a torque hinge or a hinge extending to both sides.
A reinforcing member having higher rigidity than the rotation member 350 and formed in the shape of a square pad may be disposed inside the rotation member 350 and coupled to the rotation member 350. Through this, the outer surface of the pivoting member 350 has the advantages of being smooth and having increased rigidity.
The rear cover 360 is formed in the shape of a square pad having a smaller size than the rotation member 350, and a part of the lower edge and both side edges of the rear cover 360 are coupled with a part of the lower edge and both side edges of the rotation member 350, respectively.
The accommodation space 355 connected to an external space located at the top is formed between the rear cover 360 and the rotation member 350, and a personal item 10 in the shape of a square plate, including a card, is inserted into the accommodation space 355.
A lower hole 365 is formed to connect the accommodation space 355 with a space behind the rear cover 360 by recessing a part of the rear surface and part of the lower edge of the rear cover 360, in the form of a semicircle convex upward and located at the center of the lower portion, forward by a predetermined distance.
When the card-shaped personal item 10 is inserted into the accommodation space 355, a part of the lower portion of the personal item 10 is exposed to the space behind the rear cover 360 through the lower hole 365. When the personal item 10 is pushed upward through the lower hole 365, a part of the upper portion of the personal item 10 protrudes to the upper portion of rotation member 350.
According to rotation, the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 are inserted into the insertion space 255, or are moved to a position behind the detachable body 250. When the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 are rotated and moved to a specific position and then come into close contact with a support surface, the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 support the detachable body 250 and the terminal 5 so that the terminal 5 maintains a tilted state.
For example, when the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 are rotated by a predetermined angle and located at a first position and the terminal 5 is placed to be tilted, the torque hinge allows the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 to maintain the first position through rotation resistance higher than the weight of the terminal 5, the detachable body 250, the rotation member 350, and the rear cover 360, and the terminal 5 is stably placed in a tilted state.
When, in the state in which the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 are rotated, separated from the insertion space 255 and moved to a position behind the detachable part 240, the upper part of the terminal 5 is moved rearward and downward by using the lower edge of the terminal 5 as an axis, the terminal 5 is tilted, and a part of the rotation member 350 supports the terminal 5 while coming into close contact with a support surface.
When, in the state in which the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 are rotated and moved to a position behind the detachable part 240, the terminal 5 is rotated such that one corner of the terminal 5 faces downward and then the other corner of the terminal 5 is moved rearward and downward by using one corner as an axis, the terminal 5 is tilted, and a part of the side surface of the rear cover 360 supports the terminal 5 while coming into close contact with a support surface.
When a situation in which the terminal 5 is carried occurs, when the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 are inserted into the insertion space 255, the volume of the attachment-type auxiliary device 130 using a magnet is reduced.
Therefore, when the terminal 5 is moved in the state of being carried, portability may be improved by inserting the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 into the insertion space 255. When the terminal 5 is used in a tilted state, convenience of use may be improved by separating the rotation member 350 and the rear cover 360 from the insertion space 255.

The attachment-type auxiliary device 900 using a magnet has built-in magnets having the same shapes as magnets 220 and 230 at the same positions, is magnetically coupled to a terminal 5 or case 7 in the state of being in close contact with the terminal 5 or case 7, and is fabricated in the same shape as the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet except for the seventh non-slip members 930.
Referring to Tables 1 to 3 attached below, the values of test reports corresponding to Tables 1 to 3 are results obtained by performing abrasion resistance tests on the coating parts 400, 404, 407, and 409, formed on the attachment-type auxiliary devices 100, 110, 120, and 900 using a magnet on the rear surface of the case 7, through an abrasion resistance test device 20 disclosed in
More specifically, the horizontal resistance to the coating parts 400, 404, 407, and 409 was preferentially measured through the horizontal resistance test device 30 of
The abrasion tests were performed on the coating parts 400, 404, 407, and 409 through the abrasion resistance test device 20 disclosed in
Referring to
Any one of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 100, 110, 120, and 900 using a magnet is fixed to the bottom plate 24 of the abrasion resistance test device 20 so that the accessory part 300 is disposed to face upward in the state of being attached to the rear surface of the case 7 that is worn on the terminal 5.
The upper portion of a fixation part 23 is detachably coupled to the support part 22, and the lower portion of the fixation part 23 extends downward and is coupled with the accessory part 300. Any one of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 100, 110, 120, and 900 using a magnet reciprocates back and forth on the rear surface of the case 7 except for the portion, where the camera module 6 is located, by operating the driving unit 21.
The weight applied to any one of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 100, 110, 120, and 900 using a magnet from the fixation part 23 is 500 gf. The support part 22 reciprocates at a speed of 40 round trips per minute, and stops after a total of 250 round trips.

Among the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50, 100, 110, 120, and 900 using a magnet shown in
In the state in which the terminal 5 and the case 7 are fixed to a support surface, the body 31 is moved toward any one of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50, 100, 110, 120, and 900 using a magnet, and the compressive force measured in the body 31 corresponding to the highest value obtained before any one of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50, 100, 110, 120, and 900 using a magnet slides on the case 7 in one direction is measured by the body 31 as the horizontal resistance of the coating portion 400 in kgf measurement units.
The rates of change (%) listed in Tables 1 to 3 are calculated through the equation attached below. As the rate of change (%) decreases, the change in the horizontal resistance generated by the coating parts 400, 404, 407, and 409 and the magnets 220, and 230 due to abrasion becomes lower, and the durability of the coating parts 400, 404, 407, and 409 becomes higher.
The attachment-type auxiliary device 50 using a magnet disclosed in Table 4 is an attachment-type auxiliary device 50 using a magnet onto which the coating parts 400, 404, 407, and 409 are not applied, and is substantially the same as the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet except that there are not the coating parts 400, 404, 407, and 409.
Referring to Tables 1 to 4 attached above, the horizontal resistance change rate of the coating part 400 of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet was measured to be relatively low. Through this, it can be seen that the durability of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet is relatively higher than that of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50, 110, and 120 using a magnet.
Furthermore, it can be seen that basically, the horizontal resistance of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet to the case 7 is relatively high in that the average horizontal resistance (1.19 kgf) of the coating part 400 formed on the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet before the test is measured to be relatively higher than the average horizontal resistivity (1.12 kgf) of the coating part 400 formed on the attachment-type auxiliary device 120 using a magnet before the test.
Referring to
In the state in which the terminal 5 and the case 7 are fixed to a support surface, the body 41 is moved upward, and the tensile force measured in the body 41 corresponding to the highest value obtained before any one of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50, 100, 110, 120, and 900 using a magnet is separated from the case 7 and moved upward is measured by the body 41 as the vertical coupling force in kgf measurement units.
Referring to Table 5 attached above, it can be seen that the average vertical coupling force (0.50 kgf) of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet is higher than the average vertical coupling force (0.44 kgf, 0.40 kgf, and 0.36 kgf) of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50, 110, and 120 using a magnet.
The reason why the vertical coupling force of the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet is higher than the vertical coupling force of the attachment-type auxiliary device 50 without the coating parts 400, 404, 407, and 409 is that the adhesive force of the coating part 400 and the magnetic force of the magnets 220 and 230 are higher than the magnetic force of the magnets built into the attachment-type auxiliary device 50 using a magnet.
Therefore, it can be seen that the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet has higher horizontal resistance and vertical coupling force with respect to the case 7 than the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50, 110, and 120 using a magnet and the attachment-type auxiliary device 100 using a magnet also has a lower rate of change in the horizontal resistance even after abrasion and thus has higher durability.
Tables 6 and 7 attached below show test results for vertical coupling force, horizontal resistance, and horizontal resistance after an abrasion test for the attachment-type auxiliary device 900 using a magnet shown in
Referring to Table 6 attached above, it can be seen that the average vertical coupling force of the attachment-type auxiliary device 900 is 0.27 kgf and is significantly lower than each of the average vertical coupling forces (0.44 kgf, 0.50 kgf, 0.40 kgf, and 0.36 kgf) of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50, 100, 110, and 120 using a magnet disclosed in Table 5.
Furthermore, referring to Tables 1 to 4 and 6 attached above, it can be seen that the average horizontal resistance of the attachment-type auxiliary device 900 is 0.95 kgf, and is higher than the average horizontal resistance of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 50 and 110 using a magnet but is significantly lower than each of the average horizontal resistance values (1.19 kgf, and 1.12 kgf) of the attachment-type auxiliary devices 100 and 120 using a magnet.
Therefore, it can be seen that the attachment-type auxiliary device 900 on which the coating part 409 is formed has a lower vertical or horizontal resistance function for the case 7, to which the terminal 5 is coupled, than the attachment-type auxiliary devices 100, 110, and 120 using a magnet, and also it can be seen that the coupling force and slip resistance of the attachable auxiliary devices 100, 110, and 120 using a magnet for the case 7 to which the terminal 5 is coupled are relatively excellent.
As shown in
A printing body 71 for coating is formed in the shape of a square frame surrounding an inner pressing space, a press pad 72 is disposed in the pressing space, and the edge of the press pad 72 is coupled to the inner surface of the printing body 71 for coating.
The press pad 72 is made of a transparent or translucent material. A plurality of protrusions 74 corresponding to the coating parts 400, 404, and 407 are coupled to the front surface of the press pad 72 so that they protrude forward while being spaced apart from each other in a lattice form.
A viscous silicone film or resin is attached to the front surfaces of the press pad 72 and the protrusions 74. In this state, when the press pad 72 and the silicone film or resin are brought into close contact with the pad 75 for detachable parts and the pressure member 73 is reciprocated up and down while pressing the rear surface of the press pad 72 forward, the coating parts 400, 404, and 407 are primarily applied onto the pad 75 for detachable parts.
After the primary coating operation in which the coating part 400 is applied onto the pad 75 for detachable parts, the coating device 70 is separated from the pad 75 for detachable parts. When the secondary coating operation of repeatedly applying a silicon film on the coating part 400 is performed, the thickness of the coating part 400 increases in proportion to the number of repeated coating operations.
According to one embodiment disclosed herein, the attachment-type auxiliary device using a magnet has the advantage of improving slip resistance to a terminal or a case worn over the terminal through the coating part formed in a concentric circular shape surrounding the magnet.
In addition, the attachment-type auxiliary device using a magnet may selectively determine the shape of the coating part surrounding the magnet according to the shape or area of the detachable part, thereby providing the advantage of reducing the difficulty in designing the coating part and the advantage of facilitating the adjustment of the shape of the coating part to fit devices having various shapes or areas.
In addition, the attachment-type auxiliary device using a magnet has the advantage of significantly improving slip resistance against external forces, applied at various locations, by means of the coating part in the state of being attached to a terminal or a case.
In addition, the shapes of the non-slip members formed in the coating part are fabricated in elliptical shapes extending long vertically to be optimized for the rear surface of a terminal extending long vertically, so that there is an advantage in that slip resistance in one or the other direction, which is relatively vulnerable to slippage, is improved.
