Abstract

A protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices is disclosed, comprising a main frame, an auxiliary frame and a connection control element, wherein the main frame and the auxiliary frame are both configured in a closed frame structure, and the main frame is formed with a central recessed accommodating part for receiving a mobile communication device, further overlapped with the auxiliary frame, such that the lateral sides of the mobile communication device can be peripherally wrapped; in addition, the connection control element can release the connection between the main frame and the auxiliary frame and operate to engage in touch with the power switch on the mobile communication device in order to provide a duplex structure having power activation and unclamp frame features.

Claims (33)

1. A protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices, wherein the mobile communication device includes a display front side, a back side opposite to the display front side as well as surrounding lateral sides between the front side and the back side, and a power switch is configured on the surrounding lateral side; the protective clamp frame comprising:

a main frame forming a closed structure, in which the main frame includes a central recessed accommodating part for receiving the mobile communication device;

an auxiliary frame having a closed structure for correspondingly overlapping with the main frame, in which the auxiliary frame includes a suppressive part for at least partially suppressing the mobile communication device as well as a light transfer part for exposing the display front side;

a connection control element for connecting the main frame to the auxiliary frame;

wherein one of the main frame and the auxiliary frame is formed with a clamp part, and the connection control element includes

a lateral unclamp button corresponding to the clamp part and enabling lateral movements between a use position allowing interferences with the clamp part and an open position mutually released with the clamp part, in which a longitudinal protrusion is formed in at least one of the clamp part and the lateral unclamp button; and

a switch press button combined to the lateral unclamp button and enabling actions of the power switch in a depth direction vertical to the longitudinal and the lateral directions of the lateral unclamp button; and

a retain fixation device for combining to the other one of the main frame and the auxiliary frame thereby limiting the connection control element in position;

wherein the retain fixation device is further formed with a through hole allowing longitudinal in/out actions of the clamp part.

2. The protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices according to claim 1 , further comprising an elastic element pushing against the lateral unclamp button from the open position upward to the use position.

3. The protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic element is a spring.

4. The protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices according to claim 1 , wherein the clamp part includes the longitudinal protrusion and a lateral detent part extending from the longitudinal protrusion, and the lateral unclamp button is formed with a recess for receiving the lateral detent part when disposed at the use position.

5. The protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral unclamp button includes the longitudinal protrusion and a lateral detent part extending from the longitudinal protrusion, and the clamp part is formed with a recess for receiving the lateral detent part when the lateral unclamp button is disposed at the use position.

6. The protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral unclamp button includes an external surface and multiple frictional protrusions are formed on the external surface.

7. The protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices according to claim 1 , wherein the retain fixation device is screw jointed to the other one of the main frame and the auxiliary frame.

8. The protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices according to claim 1 , wherein the retain fixation device is further formed with a groove hole allowing movements of the switch press button conjunctively with the lateral unclamp button along the lateral direction and in/out actions along the depth direction.

9. A protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices, wherein the mobile communication device includes a display front side, a back side opposite to the display front side as well as surrounding lateral sides between the front side and the back side, and a power switch is configured on the surrounding lateral side; the protective clamp frame comprising:

a main frame forming a closed structure, in which the main frame includes a central recessed accommodating part for receiving the mobile communication device;

an auxiliary frame having a closed structure for correspondingly overlapping with the main frame, in which the auxiliary frame includes a suppressive part for at least partially suppressing the mobile communication device as well as a light transfer part for exposing the display front side;

a connection control element for connecting the main frame to the auxiliary frame;

wherein one of the main frame and the auxiliary frame is formed with a clamp part, and the connection control element includes

a lateral unclamp button corresponding to the clamp part and enabling lateral movements between a use position allowing interferences with the clamp part and an open position mutually released with the clamp part, in which a longitudinal protrusion is formed in at least one of the clamp part and the lateral unclamp button; and

a switch press button combined to the lateral unclamp button and enabling actions of the power switch in a depth direction vertical to the longitudinal and the lateral directions of the lateral unclamp button; and

a retain fixation device for combining to the other one of the main frame and the auxiliary frame thereby limiting the connection control element in position;

wherein the retain fixation device is further formed with a groove hole allowing movements of the switch press button conjunctively with the lateral unclamp button along the lateral direction and in/out actions along the depth direction.

10. A protective clamp frame having a power and unclamp duplex button for mobile communication devices, wherein the mobile communication device includes a display front side, a back side opposite to the display front side as well as surrounding lateral sides between the front side and the back side, and a power switch is configured on the surrounding lateral side; the protective clamp frame comprising:

a main frame forming a closed structure, in which the main frame includes a central recessed accommodating part for receiving the mobile communication device;

an auxiliary frame having a closed structure for correspondingly overlapping with the main frame, in which the auxiliary frame includes a suppressive part for at least partially suppressing the mobile communication device as well as a light transfer part for exposing the display front side; and

a connection control element for connecting the main frame to the auxiliary frame;

wherein one of the main frame and the auxiliary frame is formed with a clamp part, and the connection control element includes

a lateral unclamp button corresponding to the clamp part and enabling lateral movements between a use position allowing interferences with the clamp part and an open position mutually released with the clamp part, in which a longitudinal protrusion is formed in at least one of the clamp part and the lateral unclamp button; and

a switch press button combined to the lateral unclamp button and enabling actions of the power switch in a depth direction vertical to the longitudinal and the lateral directions of the lateral unclamp button;

wherein the clamp part includes the longitudinal protrusion and a lateral detent part extending from the longitudinal protrusion, and the lateral unclamp button is formed with a recess for receiving the lateral detent part when disposed at the use position.
