[0038] FIG. 13 a schematic view of a mobile communication device.

[0039] FIGS. 1 and 2 show different perspective views of an exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention. The device comprises a base body 1 for attachment to a mobile communication device not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The base body 1 has receptacles 2 into each of which an active element 3 can be inserted. The active elements 3 thus project from the base body when viewed in the longitudinal direction thereof and can be used as impact amplifiers. In this exemplary embodiment, the active elements 3 have a round cross-section and taper toward their free end. The device according to the invention can thus be used in the sense of a kubotan to avert danger.

[0040] FIGS. 3 and 4 show another exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention. The device comprises a base body 1 on which a receptacle 2 is formed. An active element 3 is arranged displaceably in the receptacle 2.

[0041] FIGS. 3 and 4 show the active element 3 in the pushed-out state, in which the active element 3 projects from the base body 2 when viewed in the longitudinal direction and can thus be used as a impact amplifier. The base body 1 can be attached to a mobile communication device not shown, for example a smartphone. It can also be clearly seen that the active element 3 has a flat design so that the device overall is of a flat construction and is thus convenient to carry.

[0042] In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the device also comprises a base body 1. Active elements 3 are formed integrally or in one piece with the base body 1. The device can be attached to a mobile communication device, wherein the active elements 3 project in the longitudinal direction beyond the base body 1 and thus the mobile communication direction in such a way that they can be used as impact amplifiers like a kubotan.

[0043] In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the base body 1 is formed integrally with the four active elements 3. The active elements 3 extend in the diagonal direction away from the corners of the base body 1 and can be used as impact amplifiers.

[0044] In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the base body 1 is cruciform and encloses the corners 5 of a mobile communication device. Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous if the base body 1 is to be adaptable to the size of the mobile communication device. The active elements 3, which serve as impact amplifiers, extend from the corners 5 of the base body 1.

[0045] The exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention shown in FIG. 9 comprises a base body 1 which is fastened to a mobile communication device 6. In this case, the base body 1 consists of a fastening means 7 which extends over the rear side 12 of the communication device 6 and consists of two fastening elements 8, 8′. The fastening elements 8, 8′ can be displaced in relation to each other or into each other along the arrow 9 and can be held in the desired position, for example be screwed together, latched, etc. A holding means 10, 10′, with which the base body 1 engages in or behind the longitudinal sides 13 of the communication device 6, is arranged on each of the fastening elements 8, 8′. The base body 1 thus consists of the fastening elements 8, 8′ and the holding means 10, 10′.

[0046] In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the holding means 10 serves as a receptacle 2 for the active elements 3 and forms a grip area. The active elements 3 are arranged in the holding means 10 so as to be displaceable in the direction of the arrows 11. In a dangerous situation, the user can push the active elements 3 out of the holding means 10 and optionally latch them so that the active elements 3 can be used as impact amplifiers in the sense of a kubotan.

[0047] It is pointed out that only a single active element 3 can be arranged on the holding means 10. Furthermore, one or two active elements 3 can also be provided on the further holding means 10′. Alternatively or additionally, the active elements 3 can be connected fixedly, i.e., non-displaceably, to the one or more holding means 10, 10′.

[0048] It is also possible for a plurality of fastening means 7 to be provided and/or for the fastening means 7 to extend in the shape of an x from a corner 5 of the mobile communication device 6 to the opposite corner 5. By means of the fastening means 7, it is possible to adapt the device to the dimensioning of different communication devices 6.

[0049] FIG. 10 shows another exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention. In this case, the base body 1 is formed by a fastening means 7 and two holding means 10, 10′. The fastening means 7 has two fastening elements 8, 8′, which are displaced in relation to each other or into each other along the arrow 9 and are held in the desired position, for example screwed together, latched, etc. A holding means 10, 10′ is arranged on each of the fastening elements 8, 8′. These holding means extend transversely over the rear side 12 of the mobile communication device 6 and with their ends 15 enclose or encompass the corners 5 of the communication device 6. In this exemplary embodiment, the holding means 10, 10′ are not variable in length. However, it is conceivable that the holding means 10, 10′ are also of length-adjustable design, for example corresponding to the fastening elements 8, 8′.

[0050] Two active elements 3 are formed on the fastening means 7 and project beyond the base body 1 and the mobile communication device 6 in such a way that they can be used as impact amplifiers.

[0051] FIGS. 11 and 12 show another exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention. The device has a base body 1 for receiving a mobile communication device not shown. Furthermore, the base body 1 is connected to a cover 17 via a fold 16. The device thus has a form similar to a book, wherein the fold 16 corresponds to a book spine and the cover 17 corresponds to a book cover.

[0052] Two active elements 3 are formed in or on the fold 16, their free ends 4 projecting from the base body in such a way that they can be used as impact amplifiers. The active elements 3 can, for example, be pushed out of the fold 16 and locked in this position. Alternatively, the active element 3 could be foldable out of the fold 16.

[0053] FIG. 13 shows a schematic, perspective view of a mobile communication device 6 and is used to define the terms used in this disclosure. FIG. 11 shows the rear side 12 of the mobile communication device 6. Furthermore, one of the longitudinal sides 13 and one of the transverse sides 14 and the corners 5 are shown.

[0054] With regard to other advantageous developments of the device according to the invention, reference is made to the general part of the description and to the appended claims in order to avoid repetitions.

[0055] Finally, it is expressly pointed out that the exemplary embodiments described above of the device according to the invention serve only to explain the claimed teaching but do not limit it to the exemplary embodiments.
