The present invention relates to a phone mount for an exercise machine.
When using an exercise machine, it usually spend more than 20 minutes to obtain a better result, and during the exercise period, the users may need a device for holding their smart phones. Although some of the exercise machine are equipped with a small display screen from which the users may choose different channels to watch, some users prefer to use their smart phones. The exercise machine does not provide proper support device for the smart phones. In the conventional product, the phone mount may assemble through threaded components, the structure may not be fastened enough.
The present invention intends to provide a phone mount that is easily secure to the handle of exercise machine, so as to position their smart phones while using the exercise machine.
The present invention relates to a phone mount for an exercise machine, and comprises a holder, a clamp unit, and a plurality of magnetic members. The holder includes a first side and a second side which is located opposite to the first side. A room is defined in the first side and an electronic device is accommodated in the room. The clamp unit is pivotably connected to the second side of the holder. The holder is pivotable relative to the handle of the exercise machine to arrange the electronic device at a desired position. The plurality of magnetic members, respectively disposed on a pivotal position of the holder and the clamp unit, and the magnetic members of the holder and the clamp unit are magnetically attracted to each other.
The present invention will become more apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
As shown in
As shown in
The first section 31 of the link 3 includes a first tubular portion 35 extending axially from the first end thereof. The connection section 22 of the clamp 20 includes a first hole 23. The first tubular portion 35 is pivotably inserted into the first hole 23. The second section 33 extends from the second end of the first section 31 and includes a second hole 36. A second tubular portion 14 extends from the second side 12 of the holder 1 and is pivotably inserted into the second hole 36. Therefore, the holder 1 can be pivoted relative to the link 3, and the link 3 is pivoted relative to the clamp unit 2 so as to adjust the holder at different angular positions.
Furthermore, the phone holder includes a plurality of magnetic members 7, as shown in
Specifically, as shown in
Further, the magnetic member 7 on the connection section 22 is located at the first hole 23, the magnetic member 7 on the first section 31 is located at the first tubular portion 35, and the magnetic member 7 on the second section 33 is located at the second hole 36, the magnetic member 7 on the holder 1 is located at the second tubular portion 14. In the conventional product, when it is desired to adjust the rotation angle between the various components, it is necessary to unscrew the corresponding screw. However, if the operation is improper, there will be a situation where the two components are separated from each other, for example, the holder 1 is separated from the clamp unit 2, causing the holder 1 to fall.
The holder 1 of the present invention is generally applied for placing a mobile device, and most mobile devices have relatively poor impact resistance, and there is a relatively high probability of damage if the mobile device drops.
The benefit of the magnetic member 7 of the present invention is that the design of magnetic member 7 can prevent the aforementioned situation, even if the threaded portions (such as a first bolt 4, and a second bolt 5) are threadedly engaged, the holder 1 and the clamp unit 2 and the components thereof are magnetically attracted to each other through the magnetic members 7 and will not be easily separated. Moreover, the magnetic members 7 do not affect the mutual pivoting between the components.
The connection section 22 includes a first toothed face 24 located around the first hole 23. The first end of the link 3 includes a second toothed face 32 located around the first tubular portion 35. The first toothed face 24 is engaged with the second toothed face 32. The second section 33 includes a third toothed face 34 located around the second hole 36. A fourth toothed face 16 is defined in the second side 12 of the holder 1 and located around the second tubular portion 14. The third toothed face 34 is engaged with the fourth toothed face 16. Therefore, the holder 1 and the link 3 are well positioned and do not spin.
As shown in
The connection section 22 includes a first passage 25 which communicates with the first hole 23. The first tubular portion 35 includes a first threaded hole 37. The first bolt 4 includes a first head 41, a first smooth section 42 and a first threaded section 43, wherein the first smooth section 42 is formed between the first head 41 and the first threaded section 43. The first smooth section 42 of the first bolt 4 extends through the first passage 25, and the first threaded section 43 is engaged with the first threaded hole 37. The second tubular portion 14 includes a second threaded hole 17. The link 3 includes a second passage 38 which communicates with the second hole 36. A second bolt 5 includes a second head 51, a second smooth section 52 and a second threaded section 53, wherein the second smooth section 52 is formed between the second head 51 and the second threaded section 53. The second smooth section 52 of the second bolt 5 extends through the second passage 38, and the second threaded section 53 is engaged with the second threaded hole 17. The structure reinforces the connection between the link 3, the holder 1 and the clamp unit 2.
As shown in
A flexible plate 6 is connected to two respective inner faces of the second part 29 and the fixed portion 26, and faces the space 202. The flexible plate 6 provides anti-slip feature, and also ensures that the clamp unit 2 is securely mounted to the handle 200.
