Patent Application
20160066457
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201410434498.2 filed on Aug. 29, 2014, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to protective covers for electronic devices.
A protective cover is usually used for protecting an electronic device. Some protective covers can also be used for supporting the electronic device at an angle while in use.
Implementations of the present disclosure will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts can be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features.
The present disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of examples and not by way of limitation. A definition that applies throughout this disclosure will now be presented. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
Furthermore, the term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series and the like.
In the embodiment, the protective cover 100 further includes at least one connecting structure 30 which is arranged across the bottom plate 21 and the integral side wall 22. Each connecting structure 30 includes a flexible connecting portion 33 formed on the bottom plate 21, each flexible connecting portion 33 has two end portions 331 and 332 (as shown in
In the embodiment, each connecting structure 30 divides the protective cover 100 into a first cover 31 and a second cover 32. In use, as shown in
In the embodiment, the flexible connecting portion 33 is a flexible crease formed on the bottom plate 21. In the embodiment, the flexible connecting portion 33 is formed to define a groove in an internal surface of the bottom plate 21. The flexible connecting portion 33 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material. One of the first cover 31 and the second cover 32 rotates relative to the other cover by stretching the flexible connecting portion 33.
In the embodiment, each slit 34 is formed to be curved, and at least one protrusion portion 321 and at least one matched recessed portion 322 are thereby respectively formed on the second cover 32 and the first cover 31 and respectively facing the slit 34. In the embodiment, the protrusion portion 321 is configured to abut against a bottom surface of the electronic device 200 when the electronic device 200 is received in the protective cover 100, to limit the rotation scope between the first cover 31 and the second cover 32. Therefore, the electronic device 200 received in the protective cover 100 can be secured at a fixed angle.
In the embodiment, the slit 34 has an L-shaped appearance. In other embodiments, the slit 34 can have an appearance of arc shaped, zigzag shaped, wave shaped, and so on.
In the embodiment, the protective cover 100 includes a connecting structure 30. In one embodiment, as shown in
In other embodiments, the protective cover 100 includes a number of connecting structures 30. As shown in
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes can be made in the detail, including in particular the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
