Abstract

A device holder includes a base, a pivot and a front cover. The base has a bearing portion. The front cover has a pressing portion and is pivotally disposed on the base by the pivot. When the device holder is in a closed state, the bearing portion and the pressing portion form an accommodation space. The front cover of the device holder provided by the present invention may rotate relative to the base to be open, so as to adjust the angle of the electronic device or accompanying object accommodated therein.

Claims (29)

1 . A device holder comprising:

a base having a pivot bump, a bearing portion and a first closed hole penetrating therethrough;

a mount bracket pivotally disposed on the base by the pivot bump;

a pivot; and

a front cover having a pressing portion and a second closed hole penetrating therethrough, the front cover is rotatably disposed on the base by the pivot, the bearing portion and the pressing portion forming an accommodation space defined by the first closed hole and the second closed hole, and an axis passing through the first closed hole and the second closed hole in response to the front cover being fixed to the base.

2 . The device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the accommodation space penetrates through the front cover and the base along the axis, the inner diameter of the bearing portion decreases as the bearing portion extends farther along the axis away from the front cover, and/or the inner diameter of the pressing portion decreases as the pressing portion extends farther along the axis away from the base.

3 . The device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing portion comprises a plurality of protruding ribs.

4 . The device holder according to claim 3 , wherein each of the protruding ribs comprises an elastic material.

5 . The device holder according to claim 1 , further comprising an engaging structure disposed between the front cover and the base.

6 . The device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing portion is provided with a curved surface.

7 . The device holder according to claim 1 , further comprising a fixing member, and the mount bracket is fixed at any angle relative to the base by the fixing member.

8 . A device holder comprising:

a base having a pivot bump, a bearing portion and a first closed hole penetrating therethrough;

a mount bracket pivotally disposed on the base by the pivot bump;

a front cover having a pressing portion and a second closed hole penetrating therethrough, the pressing portion and the bearing portion forming an accommodation space defined by the first closed hole and the second closed hole, and an axis passing through the first closed hole and the second closed hole in response to the front cover being fixed to the base;

a pivot pivotally connected to one side of the base and the front cover; and

an engaging structure connected to another side of the front cover and the base.

9 . The device holder according to claim 8 , wherein the accommodation space penetrates through the front cover and the base along the axis, the inner diameter of the bearing portion decreases as the bearing portion extends farther along the axis away from the front cover, and/or the inner diameter of the pressing portion decreases as the pressing portion extends farther along the axis away from the base.

10 . The device holder according to claim 8 , wherein the pressing portion comprises a plurality of protruding ribs.

11 . The device holder according to claim 8 , further comprising a fixing member, and the mount bracket is fixed at any angle relative to the base by the fixing member.

12 . A device holder for holding an electronic device comprising:

a base having a bearing portion, a first closed hole penetrating therethrough, and a pivot bump;

a front cover having a pressing portion and a second closed hole penetrating therethrough, an axis passing through the first closed hole and the second closed hole in response to the front cover being fixed to the base, the electronic device accommodated in an accommodation space, which is defined by the first closed hole and the second closed hole and arranged between the pressing portion and the bearing portion;

a pivot pivotally connected to one side of the base and the front cover; and

a mount bracket pivotally disposed on the base by the pivot bump.

13 . The device holder according to claim 12 , wherein the accommodation space penetrates through the front cover and the base along the axis, the inner diameter of the bearing portion decreases as the bearing portion extends farther along the axis away from the front cover, and/or the inner diameter of the pressing portion decreases as the pressing portion extends farther along the axis away from the base.

14 . The device holder according to claim 12 , wherein the pressing portion comprises a plurality of protruding ribs.

15 . The device holder according to claim 12 , further comprising an engaging structure disposing between the front cover and the base.

16 . The device holder according to claim 12 , further comprising a fixing member, and the mount bracket is fixed at any angle relative to the base by the fixing member.
