(25) The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
(26) Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described according to FIGS. 1A to 10. This description is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention, but is one of the embodiments of the present invention.
(27) As shown in FIGS. 1A to 6D, a mobile phone holder with a sliding opening according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes: a first coupling part 11, a second coupling part 12, and an extension spring 2. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 2A, both ends of the first coupling part 11 are a first acting end 112 and a first operating end 113, respectively. A first accommodating portion 111 is disposed in the first coupling part 11. The first accommodating portion 111 is provided with a first operating end opening 1131 at the first operating end 113. A first clamping portion 114 and a first pressing portion 115 are disposed on different outer sides of the first coupling part 11, respectively. The first clamping portion 114 is disposed at a predetermined position of the first acting end 112, and the first pressing portion 115 is disposed at a predetermined position of the first operating end 113. As shown in FIGS. 1B and 2B, both ends of the second coupling part 12 are a second acting end 122 and a second operating end 123, respectively. A second accommodating portion 121 is disposed in the second coupling part 12. The second accommodating portion 121 is provided with a second operating end opening 1231 at the second operating end 123. A second clamping portion 124 and a second pressing portion 125 are disposed on different outer sides of the second coupling part 12, respectively. The second clamping portion 124 is disposed at a predetermined position of the second acting end 122, and the second pressing portion 125 is disposed at a predetermined position of the second operating end 123. As shown in FIG. 2B, the second coupling part 12 is provided with a sliding opening 126, the sliding opening 126 is positioned at a same side as the second pressing portion 125 and communicated with the second accommodating portion 121. As shown in FIGS. 3A-3D, the first pressing portion 115 of the first operating end 113 penetrates into the second accommodating portion 121 through the second operating end opening 1231 and penetrates out of the second accommodating portion 121 through the sliding opening 126, such that the first clamping portion 114 and the second clamping portion 124 face toward a same direction and correspond to each other, and the first pressing portion 115 and the second pressing portion 125 face toward another same direction and correspond to each other. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a clamping space 3 is formed between the first clamping portion 114 and the second clamping portion 124, and a pressing space 4 is formed between the first pressing portion 115 and the second pressing portion 125. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, both ends of the extension spring 2 are respectively fixed at predetermined positions of the first accommodating portion 111 and the second accommodating portion 121 such that a width of the clamping space 3 is minimum, and a width of the pressing space 4 is maximum. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the first pressing portion 115 and the second pressing portion 125 are pressed toward each other simultaneously, such that the first operating end 113 and the first pressing portion 115 of the first coupling part 11 slide at the second accommodating portion 121 and the sliding opening 126, respectively, thereby the width of the pressing space 4 decreases and the width of the clamping space 3 increases. As shown in FIG. 6C, a mobile phone 5 is placed into the clamping space 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 6D, the first pressing portion 115 and the second pressing portion 125 are released simultaneously, thereby due to a tensile force action of the extension spring 2, the width of the pressing space 4 increases and the width of the clamping space 3 correspondingly decreases such that the first clamping portion 114 and the second clamping portion 124 hold the mobile phone 5. The extension spring 2 according to the present invention may be other elements with elastic tension.
(28) As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D, a first fastener 1151 is disposed at a predetermined position on an outer side of the first pressing portion 115. The first fastener 1151 is used for being connected to a stand or fixed on other objects. The first fastener 1151 described in this embodiment has various implementations, such as screws or nuts.
(29) As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D, a second fastener 1241 is disposed at a predetermined position on an outer side of the second clamping portion 124. The second fastener 1241 is used for being connected to the stand or fixed on other objects. The second fastener 1241 described in this embodiment has various implementations, such as screws or nuts.
(30) As shown in FIGS. 7A to 7B, which show a cross-sectional profile taken along the line B-B according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the cross-section of the first coupling part 11 and the second coupling part 12 is a trapezoid, which can increase the stability when the first coupling part 11 and the second coupling part 12 slide against each other. The trapezoid described in this embodiment may have other implementations. The cross-section of the first coupling part 11 and the second coupling part 12 described in this embodiment may be different shapes such as rectangular, capsule-shaped, semi-circular, double-sided concave, and other shapes.
(31) As shown in FIG. 3A, at least one longitudinal stabilizing groove 116 is disposed at a predetermined position outside the first coupling part 11, and at least one longitudinal stabilizing flange 127 is disposed in the second accommodating portion 121 at a position corresponding to the longitudinal stabilizing groove 116. As shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the first operating end 113 penetrates into the second accommodating portion 121 through the second operating end opening 1231 such that the longitudinal stabilizing groove 116 and the longitudinal stabilizing flange 127 are engaged with each other, thereby the longitudinal stabilizing flange 127 can longitudinally slide in the longitudinal stabilizing groove 116. This embodiment can increase the stability when the first coupling part 11 and the second coupling part 12 slide against each other.
(32) As shown in FIG. 3A, a back U-groove 1212 is disposed at the second acting end 122 in the second accommodating portion 121, and the back U-groove 1212 is longitudinally disposed around the extension spring 2. After the first coupling part 11 and the second coupling part 12 are assembled, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, when the pressing space 4 is reduced, the back U-groove 1212 can prevent the extension spring 2 from exposure. As shown in FIG. 1A, in this embodiment, on the plane on which the first clamping portion 114 of the first coupling part 11 is positioned, a notch 1132 corresponding to the back U-groove 1212 is provided from the first operating end opening 1131 toward the first acting end 112. The notch 1132 shortens a length of a closed section of the first accommodating portion 111, thereby increasing the production efficiency. The back U-groove 1212 of the present invention has other implementations. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, a back plate 1211 is disposed at a position near the second acting end 122 in the second accommodating portion 121. After the first coupling part 11 and the second coupling part 12 are assembled, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the pressing space 4 is reduced, the back plate 1211 can prevent the extension spring 2 from exposure, thereby easily causing the operator's hand to be caught or affecting the appearance.
(33) As shown in FIG. 9A, if the back U-groove 1212 or the back plate 1211 is not disposed at the position of the second accommodating portion 121 near the second acting end 122, the extension spring 2 will expose when the first pressing portion 115 and the second pressing portion 125 are pressed toward each other simultaneously.
(34) As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3D, a protruding plane 117 is disposed at a predetermined position near the first operating end 113 on a plane where the first pressing portion 115 of the first coupling part 11 is positioned. After the first coupling part 11 and the second coupling part 12 are assembled, as shown in FIG. 3C, when the first pressing portion 115 and the second pressing portion 125 are pressed toward each other simultaneously, the protruding plane 117 can abut against the second pressing portion 125 to avoid the first coupling part 11 and the second coupling part 12 from being separated from each other. The protruding plane 117 described in this embodiment may have other implementations. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, at least one protruding point 118 is disposed at a predetermined position near the first operating end 113 on a plane where the first pressing portion 115 of the first coupling part 11 is positioned. The protruding point 118 can abut against the second pressing portion 125, which provides the same function as the protruding plane 117.
(35) As shown in FIG. 5B, the first accommodating portion 111 is provided with a first acting end opening 1121 at the first acting end 112, and the second accommodating portion 121 is provided with a second acting end opening 1221 at the second acting end 122. Therefore, it is more convenient when assembling the extension spring 2 due to the arrangement of the first acting end opening 1121 and the second acting end opening 1221.
(36) Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
