The plug portion 220 has an extending portion 222 extending to the back of the electronic device 50. 54 is coupled to the support structure 250, the second flexible portion 260 is coupled between the support structure 250 and the plug portion 220, and the trailing edge 240b of the bottom plate 240 (shown in FIG. 5B) is coupled to the support structure 250.
當插接部220如圖5A所示位於第一位置P1時,支撐結構250靠合於延伸段222且第二撓性部260收合於支撐結構250與插接部220之間。當插接部220如圖5B所示位於第二位置P2時,支撐結構250展開於延伸段222並支撐於電子裝置50的背面54與平面60之間,以更穩固地對電子裝置50進行支撐。此外, 當插接部220位於第二位置P2時,第二撓性部260展開於支撐結構250與插接部220之間而限制插接部220的自由端220b與支撐結構250之間的最大距離,以固定插接部220的位置。When the insertion portion 220 is located at the first position P1 as shown in FIG. 5A , the support structure 250 abuts against the extension portion 222 and the second flexible portion 260 is folded between the support structure 250 and the insertion portion 220 . When the insertion portion 220 is located at the second position P2 as shown in FIG. 5B, the support structure 250 is deployed on the extension portion 222 and supported between the back surface 54 of the electronic device 50 and the plane 60 to support the electronic device 50 more stably. . In addition, When the insertion portion 220 is located at the second position P2, the second flexible portion 260 is deployed between the support structure 250 and the insertion portion 220 to limit the maximum distance between the free end 220b of the insertion portion 220 and the support structure 250, To fix the position of the plug portion 220.
值得注意的是,在保護套200從圖5A作動至圖5B或從圖5B作動至圖5A的過程中,使用者僅需利用單手施力於電子裝置50就能夠同時完成插接部220、支撐結構250及第二撓性部260的作動,因此保護套200在操作上非常便利。It should be noted that, in the process of the protective cover 200 being actuated from FIG. 5A to FIG. 5B or from FIG. 5B to FIG. 5A, the user only needs to apply the force to the electronic device 50 with one hand to complete the plug-in portion 220 at the same time. The support structure 250 and the second flexible portion 260 are actuated, and thus the protective cover 200 is very convenient in operation.
圖6A是本發明另一實施例的保護套及電子裝置的側視圖。圖6B是圖6A的保護套支撐電子裝置的側視圖。在圖6A及圖6B所示之實施例的保護套300及電子裝置50中,蓋體310、插接部320、延伸段322、第一撓性部330及支撐結構350的配置與作用方式類似於圖5A及圖5B所示之蓋體210、插接部220、延伸段222、第一撓性部230及支撐結構250的配置與作用方式,於此不再贅述。保護套300與保護套200的不同處在於,保護套300不具有底板,而使蓋體310、插接部320及支撐結構350直接接觸平面60。此外,本實施例的第二撓性部360是連接於支撐結構350的底端352與插接部320的自由端320b之間,而不同於圖5B所示之第二撓性部260連接於延伸段222與支撐結構250之間。Figure 6A is a side elevational view of a protective case and an electronic device in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6B is a side elevational view of the protective cover support electronics of Figure 6A. In the protective cover 300 and the electronic device 50 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, the configuration of the cover 310, the insertion portion 320, the extension portion 322, the first flexible portion 330, and the support structure 350 is similar to that of the operation. The arrangement and function of the cover 210, the insertion portion 220, the extension portion 222, the first flexible portion 230, and the support structure 250 shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are not described herein again. The protective cover 300 differs from the protective cover 200 in that the protective cover 300 does not have a bottom plate, and the cover 310, the plug portion 320 and the support structure 350 directly contact the plane 60. In addition, the second flexible portion 360 of the present embodiment is connected between the bottom end 352 of the support structure 350 and the free end 320b of the plug portion 320, and the second flexible portion 260 different from that shown in FIG. 5B is connected to The extension 222 is between the support structure 250.
在本實施例中,電子裝置50的外殼例如包含感磁的金屬材料。延伸段322具有一磁性件322a,電子裝置50的背面54與延伸段322藉由磁性件322a的磁吸力而相固定。支撐結構350具有另一磁性件354,當插接部320如圖6A所示位於第一位置P1 時,磁性件322a對位於磁性件354,且延伸段322與支撐結構350藉由磁性件322a及磁性件354的磁吸力而相固定。此外,插接部320具有一磁性件324,電子裝置50及插接部320藉由磁性件324的磁吸力而相固定。另外,蓋體310具有一磁性件314,當插接部320如圖6A所示位於第一位置P1時,電子裝置50及蓋體310藉由磁性件314的磁吸力而相固定。需說明的是,本實施例的磁性件314及磁性件324可應用於上述保護套100及保護套200中,且磁性件322a及磁性件354可應用於上述保護套200中。In the present embodiment, the outer casing of the electronic device 50 includes, for example, a magnetically sensitive metal material. The extension 322 has a magnetic member 322a, and the back surface 54 of the electronic device 50 and the extension portion 322 are fixed by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic member 322a. The support structure 350 has another magnetic member 354, which is located at the first position P1 as shown in FIG. 6A. At the time, the magnetic member 322a is located at the magnetic member 354, and the extension portion 322 and the support structure 350 are fixed by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic member 322a and the magnetic member 354. In addition, the plug portion 320 has a magnetic member 324, and the electronic device 50 and the plug portion 320 are fixed by the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic member 324. In addition, the cover 310 has a magnetic member 314. When the insertion portion 320 is at the first position P1 as shown in FIG. 6A, the electronic device 50 and the cover 310 are fixed by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic member 314. It should be noted that the magnetic member 314 and the magnetic member 324 of the embodiment can be applied to the protective cover 100 and the protective cover 200, and the magnetic member 322a and the magnetic member 354 can be applied to the protective cover 200.
在本實施例中,支撐結構350的底端352例如具有一金屬墊片352a。當插接部320藉由第一撓性部330的彎折而從圖6A所示的第一位置P1往圖6B所示的第二位置P2轉動時,金屬墊片352a沿平面60滑動以降低支撐結構350與平面60之間的摩擦力。此外,本實施例的插接部320的自由端320b的材質包括橡膠,據此,當插接部320如圖6B所示位於第二位置P2時,插接部320與平面60之間具有較大的摩擦力而可穩固地定位插接部320。In the present embodiment, the bottom end 352 of the support structure 350 has, for example, a metal spacer 352a. When the insertion portion 320 is rotated from the first position P1 shown in FIG. 6A to the second position P2 shown in FIG. 6B by the bending of the first flexible portion 330, the metal spacer 352a slides along the plane 60 to lower Friction between the support structure 350 and the plane 60. In addition, the material of the free end 320b of the plug portion 320 of the present embodiment includes rubber. Accordingly, when the plug portion 320 is located at the second position P2 as shown in FIG. 6B, the plug portion 320 and the plane 60 are compared. The large frictional force can stably position the insertion portion 320.
綜上所述,當插接於插接部的電子裝置藉由插接部的轉動而展開於蓋體時,插接部會往蓋體的前端移動,以使電子裝置與保護套之整體結構的重心不致過於遠離蓋體的前端。據此,本發明的保護套可穩固地將電子裝置支撐於平面上,並避免電子裝置因使用者進行觸控操作時的施力或其它外力而向後傾倒。此外,更可藉由連接於插接部的支撐結構來支撐電子裝置的背面,並藉由連接於插接部與支撐結構之間的撓性部來限制插接部的自 由端與支撐結構之間的最大距離,以使保護套更穩固地支撐電子裝置。In summary, when the electronic device inserted into the plug portion is unfolded on the cover by the rotation of the plug portion, the plug portion is moved toward the front end of the cover body, so that the electronic device and the protective cover are integrally configured. The center of gravity is not too far from the front end of the cover. Accordingly, the protective cover of the present invention can stably support the electronic device on a plane, and prevent the electronic device from tipping backward due to a biasing force or other external force when the user performs a touch operation. In addition, the back surface of the electronic device can be supported by the support structure connected to the plug portion, and the self-restriction of the plug portion can be restricted by the flexible portion connected between the plug portion and the support structure. The maximum distance between the end and the support structure is such that the protective cover more securely supports the electronic device.
