The present invention relates to a cell phone grip with speaker and battery and, more particularly, to a cell phone grip with speaker and battery that is comfortable and represents an update to regular cell phones grips by including a rechargeable battery for charging a cell phone and a speaker to be connected to an electronic device wirelessly.
Several designs for a cell phone grip with speaker and battery have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a grip conveniently enclosing a rechargeable battery that is easy to carry and a wireless speaker.
Applicant believes that a related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 10,806,552 issued for an expandable cellphone gripping device with a dental floss dispenser. Applicant believes that another related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 10,098,444 issued for a cell phone case with a rechargeable battery and speaker [title of reference]. None of these references, however, teach of a cell phone grip with speaker and battery having an expandable disc shaped gripping unit that is attached to the back side of a mobile phone and contains a Bluetooth™ speaker and battery unit that can be used wirelessly with the attached mobile phone.
Other documents describing the closest subject matter provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem in an efficient and economical way. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention.
It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a cell phone grip with speaker and battery that solves the problem of a cell phone running out of battery on the road without the need for a charging bank.
It is another object of this invention to provide a cell phone grip with speaker and battery that includes a powerful speaker for hearing music with better audio quality.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a cell phone grip with speaker and battery that solves the tiresome problem of having to carry several devices.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide such a device that is inexpensive to implement and maintain while retaining its effectiveness.
Further objects of the invention will be brought out in the following part of the specification, wherein detailed description is for the purpose of fully disclosing the invention without placing limitations thereon.
With the above and other related objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes a top portion assembly 20, a bottom portion assembly 40, and an electrical assembly 60. It should be understood there are modifications and variations of the invention that are too numerous to be listed but that all fit within the scope of the invention. Also, singular words should be read as plural and vice versa and masculine as feminine and vice versa, where appropriate, and alternative embodiments do not necessarily imply that the two are mutually exclusive.
The top portion assembly 20 includes a top member 22. Top member 22 may have a truncated conic shape. In other embodiments the top member 22 may have a cylindrical shape, a cuboid shape, a truncated pyramid shape, an irregular shape, or any variation thereof. Top member 22 is volumetric. Top member 22 is hollow. Top member 22 may be made of acrylic, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, wood, metal, or any variation thereof. In a suitable embodiment said top member 22 is made of plastic. Top member further includes a bottom end 23.
The bottom portion assembly 40 includes a bottom member 42. Bottom member 42 may have a truncated conic shape. In other embodiments the bottom member 22 may have a cylindrical shape, a cuboid shape, a truncated pyramid shape, an irregular shape, or any variation thereof. Bottom member 42 is volumetric. Bottom member 42 is hollow. Bottom member 42 may be made of acrylic, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, wood, metal, or any variation thereof. In a suitable embodiment said bottom member 42 is made of plastic. Bottom member further includes a top end 43. Top end 43 receives the bottom end 23. Top end 43 and bottom end 23 are capable of being retracted and extended. The top member 22 mounted on the bottom member 42 at the top 43 and bottom end 23 configure a grip 30.
The grip 30 has a preconfigured height that is the sum of a height of the top member 22 and a height of the bottom member 42. The grip 30 is telescopic. The top member 22 is capable of sliding in and out from the bottom member 42, lengthening or shortening the height of the grip 30. Grip 30 has an expanded configuration 32, and a contracted configuration 33.
The electrical assembly 60 includes a speaker 62, a receiver unit 64, a battery 66, a charging port 68, and a charging cord 69. Speaker 62 converts an electrical audio signal into a corresponding sound. Speaker 62 is enclosed by the top member 22. Receiver unit 64 is enclosed by the top member 22. Receiver unit 64 may receive a signal having format of an electromagnetic radiation, such signal may be audio, supersonic, ultrasonic, infrared, RF, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth™, or any variation thereof. In a suitable embodiment said receiver unit 46 uses Bluetooth™ technology. The receiver unit 64 is connected with the speaker 62. In a suitable embodiment the receiver unit 64 is connected to said speaker 62 by means of electric wires. The receiver unit 64 is configured to be connected wirelessly to a portable electronic device 72. The receiver unit 64 receives a wireless signal from the portable electronic device wherein said signal carries sound information. The receiver unit 64 transmits said signal to the speaker 62. Speaker 62 receives and amplifies said signal to reproduce the sound information carried by the signal. Battery 66 is enclosed by said bottom member 42. Battery 66 may be a primary battery or a secondary battery. Primary batteries are single use or disposable whereas secondary battery is a type of battery that can be recharged. Battery 66 provides electrical energy to charge up an external device. In a suitable embodiment battery 66 is a lithium-ion battery. Nevertheless, in another embodiment battery 66 may be a Li-ion battery. Said battery 66 may provide a suitable amount of voltage and current for charging portable electronic devices. The charging port 68 is located on the bottom member 42. Charging port 68 permits to charge portable electronic device 72 using a charging cord 68. The charging port 68 may be an USB-A type port, an USB-C type port, a lightning type port, a micro-USB type port or any variation thereof. The charging port 68 may be connected to the battery 66. Charging cord 68 is a cable used to transfer electrical energy from the battery to the portable electronic device 72.
The portable electronic device 72 is a piece of lightweight, electrically powered equipment. Portable electronic device 72 may be used for communication, data processing, computing, and the like. Portable electronic device 72 may be able to send data wirelessly such as sound information. Portable electronic device 72 include a rear surface 72a wherein the grip 30 is mounted.
The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
