In the following description, the same components and components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, a detailed description thereof will not be repeated. It should be noted that the embodiments and the modification examples described below may be selectively combined as appropriate.


First Embodiment

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a fixture of an electronic device according to Embodiment 1 will be described. FIG. 1 is a first diagram illustrating a fixture of an electronic device according to a first embodiment; FIG. 2 is a second diagram illustrating a fixture of the electronic device according to the first embodiment; FIG. 3 is a third diagram illustrating a fixture of the electronic device according to the first embodiment; FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the fixture of the electronic device according to the first embodiment taken along a IV-IV line shown in FIG. 1.


The fixture 100 according to the first embodiment is used to fix the electronic device 200 to a target part. In Embodiment 1, the target part is a site where the fastening needle 2 can be pierced (e.g., a site having a fabric portion such as a hat, clothing, or bag).


The fixture 100 includes a frame-shaped main body portion 1 into which the electronic device 200 is fitted, and a fastening needle 2 that attaches the main body portion 1 to a target part. The fastening needle 2 is an example of an “attachment member” in the present disclosure. The fixture 100 is fixed to the target part by piercing the fastening needle 2 to the target part. An insertion port 3 into which the electronic device 200 can be inserted is formed in the main body portion 1. The electronic device 200 is taken in and out from the insertion port 3. In a state in which the fixture 100 is fixed to the target part, the insertion port 3 is formed so as to open toward the target part. Therefore, when the fixture 100 into which the electronic device 200 is fitted is fixed to the target part, the drop of the electronic device 200 is suppressed by the target part.


The main body portion 1 may include an annular frame portion 4, a first side piece portion 5, a second side piece portion 6, a first end piece portion 11, and a second end piece portion 13. The frame portion 4 may include a long side portion 7, a long side portion 8, a short side portion 9, and a short side portion 10. The long side portion 7 and the long side portion 8 are examples of a “pair of long side portions” in the present disclosure. The short side portion 9 and the short side portion 10 are examples of a “pair of short side portions” in the present disclosure. The first side piece portion 5, the second side piece portion 6, the first end piece portion 11, and the second end piece portion 13 define an insertion port 3. The frame portion 4 may define the window portion 15 on the side facing the insertion port 3. In the window portion 15, a part of the electronic device 200 is exposed.


The first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6 are formed 5 so as to be spaced apart from each other and to face each other in the frame portion 4. More specifically, the first side piece portion 5 is formed on the long side portion 7. The second side piece portion 6 is formed on the long side portion 8. The first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6 protrude in the projecting direction A away from the frame 10 portion 4. The projecting direction A indicates a direction from the frame portion 4 toward the target part in a state where the fixture 100 is fixed to the target part. When the electronic device 200 is inserted into the insertion port 3, the first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6 are pushed apart from each other.


The distance between the first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6 may be formed so as to be narrower toward the projecting direction A. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the spacing L2 between the first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6 may be shorter than the spacing L1 between the first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6. In the example shown in FIG. 4, since the degree of curvature of the first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 620 increases toward the projecting direction A, the interval between the first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6 becomes narrower toward the projecting direction A. The distance between the first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6 becomes narrower toward the projecting direction A, so that the force that the first side piece portion 5 and the second side piece portion 6 hold the electronic device 200 is increased, and 25 the drop of the electronic device 200 is suppressed.


The first end piece portion 11 and the second end piece portion 13 are formed so as to be spaced apart from each other and opposed to each other in the frame portion 4. More specifically, the first end piece portion 11 is formed on the short side portion 9. The second end piece portion 13 is formed on the short side portion 10. The first end piece portion 11 and the second end piece portion 13 protrude in the projecting direction A away from the frame portion 4. Since the second end piece portion 13 protrudes in the projecting direction A away from the frame portion 4, the drop of the electronic device 200 is suppressed.


A support portion 22 is formed in the first end piece portion 11. The support portion 22 protrudes in a direction away from the second end piece portion 13. A hole 12 is formed in the support portion 22. A fastening needle 2 is passed through the hole 12. The fastening needle 2 preferably protrudes from the end of the first end piece portion 11 in a direction away from the second end piece portion 13. Since the fastening needle 2 protrudes from the end portion of the first end piece portion 11 in a direction away from the second end piece portion 13, the fastening needle 2 does not become an obstacle when the user fits the electronic device 200 into the main body portion 1 or removes the electronic device 200 from the main body portion 1.


The second end piece portion 13 has an inner surface 14 opposite the first end piece portion 11. The inner surface 14 may be formed so as to approach the first end piece portion 11 in the projecting direction A. Since the inner surface 14 is formed so as to approach the first end piece portion 11 toward the projecting direction A, when the electronic device 200 is fitted into the main body portion 1, the electronic device 200 is prevented from slipping in the longitudinal direction C of the second end piece portion 13, and the electronic device 200 is easily guided from the insertion port 3 in the insertion direction D. The insertion direction D is a direction from the insertion port 3 toward the window portion 15. Therefore, since the inner surface 14 is formed so as to approach the first end piece portion 11 toward the projecting direction A, the user can easily fit the electronic device 200 into the main body portion 1.


As shown in FIG. 2, in the projecting direction A, the end portion of the first side piece portion 5, the end portion of the second side piece portion 6, the end portion of the first end piece portion 11, and the end portion of the second end piece portion 13 are preferably located on the imaginary plane E. In the projecting direction A, the end portion of the first side piece portion 5, the end portion of the second side piece portion 6, the end portion of the first end piece portion 11, and the end portion of the second end piece portion 13 are positioned on the imaginary plane E, whereby the projecting direction A of the main body portion 1 on the insertion port 3 side becomes uniform. Therefore, when the main body portion 1 is placed on a desk or the like with the insertion port 3 facing downward, a load is suppressed from being applied to a part of the main body portion 1, and damage to the main body portion 1 is suppressed.


Further, in the projecting direction A, the end portion of the first side piece portion 5, the end portion of the second side piece portion 6, the end portion of the first end piece portion 11, and the end portion of the second end piece portion 13 is located on the imaginary plane E, and in the projecting direction A, the hole 12 is preferably formed at the end portion of the first end piece portion 11. That is, in the projecting direction A, the end portion of the first side piece portion 5, the end portion of the second side piece portion 6, the end portion of the first end piece portion 11, and the end portion of the second end piece portion 13 are located on the imaginary plane E, and the fastening needle 2 is preferably provided at the end portion of the first end piece portion 11 in the projecting direction A. In the projecting direction A, the end portion of the first side piece portion 5, the end portion of the second side piece portion 6, the end portion of the first end piece portion 11, and the end portion of the second end piece portion 13 are located on the imaginary plane E, and the fastening needle 2 is provided at the end portion of the first end piece portion 11 in the projecting direction A, whereby the fixture 100 is fixed in a state along the target part. Therefore, the drop of the electronic device 200 is further suppressed. In addition, even when the fixture 100 is fixed to the target part, the aesthetic appearance of the user carrying the electronic device 200 is not impaired.


A cutout portion 16 may be provided between the first end piece portion 11 and the first side piece portion 5. A cutout portion 17 may be provided between the first side piece portion 5 and the second end piece portion 13. A cutout portion 18 may be provided between the first end piece portion 11 and the second side piece portion 6. A cutout portion 19 may be provided between the second side piece portion 6 and the second end piece portion 13. The outer peripheral surface of the electronic device 200 includes a front surface portion 201, a back surface portion 202 facing the front surface portion 201, and four side surface portions in contact with the front surface portion 201 and the back surface portion 202. Adjacent side portions of the four side portions are connected by a curved surface 203,204,205,206. In the cutout portion 16, the curved surface 203 is exposed. In the cutout portion 17, the curved surface 204 is exposed. In the cutout portion 18, the curved surface 205 is exposed. In the cutout portion 19, the curved surface 206 is exposed.


When the curved surface 203,204,205,206 is exposed in the cutout portions 16, 17, 18, and 19, the user can take in and out the electronic device 200 without applying an excessive force when the electronic device 200 is fitted into the main body portion 1 or when the electronic device 200 is removed from the main body portion 1.

As described above, according to the fixture 100B of the third embodiment, the fixture 100B can be fixed to the part where the belts 51 and 52 can be wound (for example, a human arm or a human foot). Further, according to the fixture 100B of the third embodiment, when the fixture 100B is fixed to the target part, the insertion port 3 is formed so as to open toward the target part. Therefore, when the fixture 100B into which the electronic device 200 is fitted is fixed to the target part, the drop of the electronic device 200 is suppressed by the target part. Therefore, in the fixture 100B according to the third embodiment, it is possible to suppress the target part to which the electronic device 200 can be attached from being limited, and to suppress the electronic device 200 from falling.


Therefore, the fixture 100B according to the third embodiment can flexibly cope with the use scene of the electronic device 200 of the user.


Further, in the fixture 100B according to the third embodiment, the attachment member is composed of two belts (the belt 51 and the belt 52). Therefore, since the insertion port 3 of the main body portion 1B is not covered with the belt, the user can easily take the electronic device 200 in and out.


As in the fixture 100C shown in FIG. 11, the attachment member may be a single strap. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a modification of the fixture of the electronic device according to the third embodiment. The fixture 100C includes a belt 53 instead of the belt 51 and the belt 52 as attachment members. The fixture 100C is otherwise the same as the fixture 100B. The belt 53 passes through the insertion port 42 and the insertion port 44. By winding the belt 53 around the target part, the fixture 100C is fixed to the target part.


According to the fixture 100C, when the fixture 100C is fixed to the target part, the insertion port 3 is formed so as to open toward the target part. At least a part of the insertion port 3 of the main body portion 1B is covered with a belt 53.
