Abstract

A mobile device holder attached to the back surface of a mobile device is provided. More particularly, a mobile device holder is provided, whereby a mobile device can stand at a predetermined angle or be mounted at various positions according to user's surroundings.

Claims (23)

1. A mobile device holder comprising:

a base part ( 100 ) combined with a side of a mobile device or a case of the mobile device, and having a first hinge piece ( 101 ) provided at a side surface thereof by protruding therefrom; and

a first holder ( 200 ) provided along a side surface of the base part ( 100 ), and each of opposite ends of which is connected to the hinge piece ( 101 ) such that the first holder is rotated,

wherein a second hinge piece ( 201 ) is provided on a side surface of the first holder ( 200 ) by protruding therefrom, a second insertion hole ( 201 - 1 ) being provided in the second hinge piece by being formed therethrough.

2. The holder of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second holder ( 300 ) connected to the second hinge piece ( 201 ) to rotate in the same direction as rotation of the first holder ( 200 ) and surrounding an outer surface of the first holder ( 200 ).

3. The holder of claim 2 , wherein a first end of the second holder ( 300 ) is connected to the second hinge piece ( 201 ) such that the second holder ( 300 ) surrounds only a portion of an outer surface of the first holder ( 200 ), and a second end of the second holder ( 300 ) is spaced apart from the second hinge piece ( 201 ).

4. The holder of claim 3 , further comprising:

a first horizontal hinge shaft ( 400 ) inserted into any one of a 1-1 open end part ( 210 ) and a 1-2 open end part ( 220 ) of the first holder ( 200 ) being in contact with the first hinge piece ( 101 ), and passing through the hinge piece ( 101 ), and

a second horizontal hinge shaft ( 500 ) inserted into a 2-1 open end part ( 310 ) of the second holder ( 300 ) being in contact with the second hinge piece ( 201 ) and passing through the second hinge piece ( 201 ),

wherein an end part of each of the first and second horizontal hinge shafts ( 400 , 500 ) provided by extending to have a predetermined length is configured to be a polygon, or a first side and a second side thereof have a step to have diameters different from each other.

5. The holder of claim 3 , further comprising:

a first horizontal hinge shaft ( 400 ) inserted into any one of a 1-1 open end part ( 210 ) and a 1-2 open end part ( 220 ) of the first holder ( 200 ) being in contact with the first hinge piece ( 101 ), and passing through the hinge piece ( 101 ), and

a second horizontal hinge shaft ( 500 ) inserted into a 2-1 open end part ( 310 ) of the second holder ( 300 ) being in contact with the second hinge piece ( 201 ) and passing through the second hinge piece ( 201 ),

wherein an end part of each of the first and second horizontal hinge shafts ( 400 , 500 ) provided by extending to have a predetermined length has a portion removed at an edge thereof or has a third pressing friction tube ( 800 ) covering multiple corrugations provided at a circumferential surface thereof.

6. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the base part ( 100 ) comprises:

a base plate ( 110 ) fixed to the mobile device and having a rotation hole ( 110 - 1 ) provided at a center thereof;

a horizontal rotating body ( 120 ) having the first hinge piece ( 101 ) provided at a side thereof, and having a rotation shaft ( 121 ) provided on a lower surface thereof and fitted into the rotation hole ( 110 - 1 ) such that the horizontal rotating body ( 120 ) rotates in a rotation direction of the rotation shaft intersecting with a rotation shaft of the first holder ( 200 ).

7. The holder of claim 6 , further comprising:

a rotation resistant ( 102 ) provided between the base plate ( 110 ) and the horizontal rotating body ( 120 ), the rotation resistant providing rotation resistance to the horizontal rotating body ( 120 ) by pressing each of an inner upper surface of the base plate ( 110 ) and an inner lower surface of the horizontal rotating body ( 120 ).

8. The holder of claim 7 , further comprising:

an adhesive part ( 111 ) provided on a surface of the base plate ( 110 ) facing the mobile device and having adhesive force, and

a magnetic part ( 103 ) provided between the base plate ( 110 ) and the horizontal rotating body ( 120 ) and made of a magnetic material such that the horizontal rotating body ( 120 ) is attached to or removed from an external device having magnetic force.
