Anti-theft apparatus for mobile device
Provided is an anti-theft apparatus for a mobile device that does not disturb a customer when he or she observes and tests a mobile device in a shop and which can be efficiently used with various types of mobile devices. The anti-theft apparatus for a mobile device includes: a base attached to a back surface of a mobile device; a connecting terminal provided in a rear side of the base and connected to an access port of the mobile device; a separation sensor sensing separation of the mobile device from the base; and a distance control unit controlling the distance between the base and the connecting terminal.
1. An anti-theft apparatus for a mobile device, the apparatus comprising:
a base attached to a back surface of a mobile device;
a connecting terminal provided in a rear side of the base and connected to an access port of the mobile device;
a separation sensor provided in a front side of the base, the separation sensor sensing separation of the mobile device from the base; and
a distance control unit including: an elevating block to which the connecting terminal is mounted, and a distance control pin unit moving the elevating block upward and downward so that the distance control unit controls a distance between the base and the connecting terminal, wherein;
the distance control pin unit includes: a screw pin screw-coupled to the elevating block, and an operation pin passing the base and coupled to the screw pin, whereby
a step is formed along an edge of a first through hole of the base, a seating protrusion is formed along an edge of the operation pin and engaged with the step to be seated thereon, and a stopper is provided in the base, wherein the stopper presses the edge of an upper surface of the operation pin, thereby preventing the operation pin from leaving a predetermined position thereof and allowing the distance control pin unit to rotate in a forward direction or a reverse direction at a predetermined position thereof, wherein the distance control unit further includes an elastic plate of which a lower side formed in a U-shape is inserted into and coupled to the elevating block by a male and female coupling method, and an upper side is inclined diagonally and elastically supports an inner wall of an upper side of a cover of the base, thereby continuously pushing the elevating block toward the distance control pin unit, and allowing the elevating block to move upward or downward without shaking at a predetermined position.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the distance control unit further includes:
an idle-rotation inducing means for inducing the distance control pin unit to idly rotate when a load formed by screw-coupling of the distance control pin unit to the elevating block is over a reference level.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the idle-rotation inducing means includes:
a tension wing having a tension so that a diameter thereof is variable, the tension wing being provided on an outer peripheral edge of a lower side of the screw pin,
a protruding portion provided on an end of the tension wing by protruding,
a receiving groove provided on an inner wall of the operation pin so as to receive the tension wing therein, and
a recess continuously provided on a sidewall of the receiving groove so as to allow the protruding portion to sit on the recess.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
an adhesive plate detachably coupled to a front of the base, and attached to a back of the mobile device.
5. The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising:
an adhesive plate detachably coupled to a front of the base, and attached to a back of the mobile device.
6. The apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising:
an adhesive plate detachably coupled to a front of the base, and attached to a back of the mobile device.
