The harness 40 may be a flexible bent strap, and at least one end of the harness 40 may be coupled to the supporting member 30 as shown in FIG. 3. As such, a ring shape structure formed by the supporting member 30 and the harness 40 may be used to wrap or sleeve a circumference of a cylindrical object, thereby achieving the purpose of being fixed on the cylindrical object; therefore the mobile phone may be held by the bearing member 10 and the stopper 20 to let the user to use the mobile phone in a hands-free manner.
In the following, the elements of the present invention will be explained in detail as shown in FIG. 2.
The bearing member 10 achieves the purpose of attracting and holding the mobile phone mainly by the magnetic attracting force. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bearing member 10 may be a structure in a ring shape, the bearing member 10 may have a through space 14 in a center thereof, the ring-shape structure of the bearing member 10 may be formed with a groove 15, and magnets 13 may be disposed in the groove 15. In addition, the holder of the present invention may comprise a cover sheet 16, the cover sheet 16 may be a soft pad or a rubber pad, the cover sheet 16 may be attached onto the bearing member 10 to close the groove 15, an exposed flat area of the cover sheet 16 may be the surface 11 (as shown in FIG. 1), and thus a local area of the surface 11 may have the magnetic attraction area 12 that can generate a magnetic attracting force. Some mobile phones have a magnetic attracting force on a specific surface thereof, such as iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 product series, these kind of mobile phones can directly be attracted by the bearing member 10. On the other hand, other mobile phones without the magnetic attracting force may be attached with an iron sheet on a back side thereof. When the iron sheet is attracted by the bearing member 10, these kind of mobile phones also can be held on the bearing member 10.
Although the bearing member 10 can achieve the purpose of holding the mobile phone, the present invention additionally provides another security mechanism to prevent the mobile phone held on the bearing member 10 from falling. The bearing member 10 may additionally be pivotally connected to the stopper 20, and a pivotally connecting position of the stopper 20 may be close to the pivotally connecting structure 33 of the bearing member 10 and the supporting member 30. The stopper 20 may protrude from the surface 11 after being cocked up, a maximum open angle between the stopper 20 and the surface 11 may be 90°, and thus the stopper 20 may support an edge of the mobile phone to effectively prevent the mobile phone from slipping and falling. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, in consideration of a good aesthetic appearance after being collapsed, when the stopper 20 is pivoted toward the bearing member 10 down to the lowest position, the most part of the stopper 20 may be in the space 14 and may not protrude from the surface 11, and a shape of the stopper 20 may be corresponding to a portion of a shape of the space 14, thereby presenting a good aesthetic appearance in a collapsed state. As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order for convenient assembling, the stopper 20 may have a connecting portion 21 at one end thereof, the connecting portion 21 may have a C-shaped spindle hole, the bearing member 10 may have a spindle 17 at a corresponding position thereto. When the connecting portion 21 is coupled to the spindle 17, the stopper 20 may pivot about the spindle 17 as a pivoting center. In addition, the stopper 20 may have a protruding portion 22 at another end thereof far away from the connecting portion 21. The protruding portion 22 functions as preventing the mobile phone from slipping and falling.
A side of the supporting member 30 adjacent to the bearing member 10 may be coupled to the bearing member 10 by the pivotally connecting structure 33, an angle between the supporting member 30 and the bearing member 10 may be adjustably controlled, and an adjustable maximum angle may be up to 270°. In one embodiment of the present invention, the pivotally connecting structure 33 of the supporting member 30 and the bearing member 10 may be tight fitting, and thus the bearing member 10 may keep the angle from the supporting member 30 after being adjusted.
In the present invention, the supporting member 30 and the harness 40 may be secured and fixed on a target object. The supporting member 30 may include a bendable thin sheet, the thin sheet has elasticity, and thus the supporting member 30 may recover to an original state when an external force acting on the supporting member 30 is removed. When the bent and deformed supporting member 30 and the harness 40 enclose a circumference of the cylindrical object, an elastic force of the supporting member 30 for recovering the supporting member 30 to the original state may make the supporting member 30 and the harness 40 have an effect of tightening. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the supporting member 30 is assumed to be in a deformed state under an action of an external force, and the external force is not yet removed. The harness 40 may include a flexible bent strap for wrapping or sleeving the circumference of the cylindrical object to achieve the purpose of tightening and fixing. The harness 40 may be embodied by various means, e.g., a two-piece dual-direction folded strap, but not limited thereto, i.e., the strap may include two pieces connected to two ends of the supporting member 30 respectively and two ends of the strap may be buckled to each other. Hereinafter, the present invention is explained with only one kind of harness, however it is not limited thereto. In one embodiment of the present invention, two ends of the supporting member 30 far away from the pivotally connecting structure 33 in a transverse direction may have a clamping portion 31 respectively, a cross section of the clamping portion 31 may have a C shape that forms a coupling groove 32, and a transverse size at the deepest position in the coupling groove 32 is larger than a size at an opening thereof. Two ends of the harness 40 may have a coupling portion 41 respectively, a shape of the coupling portion 41 is corresponding to that of the coupling groove 32, and in assembling, the coupling portions 41 of the harness 40 may be inserted into the coupling grooves 32 along a specific direction. When the coupling portions 41 are inserted into and along a central line of the coupling grooves 32, e.g., from top to bottom or from bottom to top in the drawing, the harness 40 and the supporting member 30 may enclose to form a ring shape such that the harness 40 may not fall off even if it is pulled in a direction vertical to and far away from the supporting member 30. In addition, the harness 40 may include an elastic strap capable of contracting and elongating, and it can spontaneously recover to an original state as an external force acting thereon is removed.
Next, the use method of the present invention will be explained as follows.
As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment of the present invention, the cylindrical object on which the harness is fixed may be a water bottle 50. The ring shape structure formed by the supporting member 30 and the harness 40 may sleeve on a top portion of the water bottle 50, which is a bottle cap 51, meanwhile the supporting member 30 and the harness 40 may achieve the purpose of tightening by a deformed state of the supporting member 30. The bearing member 10 may be cocked up to form an inclined state, and the stopper 20 may also be cocked up to protrude from the surface 11. As shown in FIG. 6, a mobile phone 60 may be transversely disposed on the surface 11, a purpose of attracting and holding the mobile phone 60 may be achieved by the magnetic attracting force of the magnetic attraction area 12, and the stopper 20 may support an edge of the mobile phone 60 to further prevent the mobile phone 60 from slipping and falling.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, when the stopper 20 is pushed into the space 14, a back surface of the mobile phone 60 may be attracted in an upright manner by the magnetic attraction area 12, and thus the mobile phone 60 may be held on the water bottle 60 in a different holding way.
As shown in FIG. 8, as the holder is not in use, the bearing member 10 may be turned down to attach on a top surface of the bottle cap 51, and the stopper 20 may also be pushed into the space 14. The holder may be considered as a decoration that shows a good aesthetic appearance. In addition, as the bottle cap 51 is taken off from the water bottle 50, the holder may not be loosened. Therefore, the holder of the present invention is a very practical and convenient design.
In addition, the bearing member 10 of the holder of the present invention uses the magnetic attracting force to attract the mobile phone 60. Also, the present invention can provide a more compact structure without the stopper 20, thereby providing a simpler and lower-cost holder.
FIG. 9 is a view showing another use state of the holder of the present invention. In one embodiment of the present invention, the cylindrical object is substituted by a rectangular prism 70. A closed shape structure formed by the supporting member 30 and the harness 40 encloses a circumference of the rectangular prism 70. The bearing member 10 is adjusted to be a desired inclination angle, and thus a bottom edge of the mobile phone 60 may be placed on the bearing member 10 and a top edge of the mobile phone 60 may be leaned against the rectangular prism 70. It shows another hands-free use state of the mobile phone. In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the cylindrical object may be substituted by a column object with any shape.
