Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] a) Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a multifunctional
protection device for a flat video product, and more particularly
to a multifunction protection device which allows a flat video
product, especially a tablet personal computer, to be put
vertically or horizontally on a working platform at plural angles,
thereby facilitating a user to read or touch a screen. In addition,
through snap-fits and a hand-held notch provided on a plastic back
cover, the flat video product can be easily put into or taken out
of the multifunctional protection device.
[0003] b) Description of the Prior Art
[0004] As development of technologies, a flat video product,
especially a tablet personal computer, should be small in size and
light in weight that the user can carry conveniently. However, when
the flat video product is getting smaller, user convenience in
operation will be limited in someway.
[0005] Accordingly, a lot of protection sleeves, which are also
provided with a support bracket function, of the tablet personal
computers arise in markets to prevent the tablet personal computer
from scratching and facilitate use. Nevertheless, all the
protection sleeves sold on existing markets are only equipped with
a single function and thus are unable to satisfy the user's
all-purpose demands.
[0006] Accordingly, to solve the abovementioned issues, a
multifunctional protection device for a flat video product is
created by the present inventor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
multifunctional protection device for a flat video product,
including primarily a soft plastic front cover, a plastic back
cover, a support bracket, a linking hinge and a rotational cover
plate.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
multifunctional protection device for a flat video product, wherein
the protection device can be put vertically or horizontally on a
working platform depending on the user's preference and can be
adjusted by plural angles, thereby facilitating the user to operate
and use.
[0009] Still another object of the present invention is to provide
a multifunctional protection device for a flat video product,
wherein through snap-fits and a hand-held notch provided on the
plastic back cover, the flat video product can be put into or taken
out of the multifunctional protection device easily.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0026] The present invention can be applied directly to a tablet
personal computer. The detailed description and technical contents
of the present invention are disclosed below, using the tablet
personal computer as an example.
[0027] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, it shows three-dimensional
schematic views of the present invention. As shown in the drawings,
a multifunctional protection device for a flat video product
comprises a soft plastic front cover 10, a plastic back cover 20, a
support bracket 30, a linking hinge 40 and a rotational cover plate
50.
[0028] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 at a same time, the soft
plastic front cover 10 is used to cover the tablet personal
computer 60 and is provided with plural ribs 11, such that the
tablet personal computer 60 can be put vertically or horizontally
by plural angles and can be prevented from sliding off.
[0029] The plastic back cover 20 is used for putting the tablet
personal computer 60 and is provided with a tablet personal
computer containing space 21. Corners at two sides of the plastic
back cover 20 are provided with snap-fits 22 and a middle part is a
hand-held notch 23. A rear side of the back cover 20 is provided
with containing slots 24, 25 for the support bracket 30 and the
rotational cover plate 50 respectively, allowing the
multifunctional protection device to be complete and pretty at an
outer appearance when collecting. In addition, the containing slot
25 for the rotational cover plate 50 is provided with a groove ring
26 to sheath with a snap ring 52 on the rotational cover plate 50,
thereby realizing rotation of the support bracket 30 and the soft
plastic front cover 10.
[0030] The support bracket 30 is used to support the tablet
personal computer 60 for use in a vertical or horizontal direction.
Two sides of an upper end of the support bracket 30 are provided
respectively with a pivot 31 which sheathes with a shaft hole 51 on
the rotational cover plate 50 for a purpose of connecting with the
rotational cover plate 50. On the other hand, a lower end of the
support bracket 30 is provided with plural pivots 32 to sheath with
shaft holes 41 on the linking hinge 40 for a purpose of connecting
with the linking hinge 40.
[0031] The linking hinge 40 is used to connect with the soft
plastic front cover 10 and the support bracket 30 and is provided
with the plural shaft holes 41 to sheath with the pivots 32 on the
support bracket 30. The linking hinge 40 is assembled with the soft
plastic front cover 10 and next is connected with the support
bracket 30.
[0032] The rotational cover plate 50 is provided with the shaft
holes 51 to sheath with the pivots 31 on the support bracket 30 for
a purpose of connecting with the support bracket 30 and the plastic
back cover 20.
[0033] Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5C, it shows schematic views of the
present invention which is put horizontally. As shown in the
drawings, the tablet personal computer 60 can be adjusted
horizontally by plural angles to facilitate operation and use by
the user.
[0034] Referring to FIGS. 6A to 6C, it shows schematic views of the
tablet personal computer 60 which is put vertically after rotating
the rotational cover plate 50, according to the present invention.
As shown in the drawings, the tablet personal computer 60 can be
adjusted by plural angles to facilitate operation and use by the
user.
[0035] Referring to FIGS. 7A to 7C, it shows schematic views of a
flat video product which is easily put into or taken out of the
multifunctional protection device through the snap-fits 22 and the
hand-held notch 23 on the plastic back cover 20, according to the
present invention.
[0036] Furthermore, referring to FIGS. 8 to 15, it shows another
embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawings, the
structural characteristics of the present invention are applied to
a simplified bracket protection frame for the tablet personal
computer 60, wherein through angle positioning grooves 33 on the
support bracket 30 and angle positioning strips 53 on the
rotational cover plate 50, the tablet personal computer 60 can be
put upright horizontally and vertically or can be laid
reclined.
[0037] It is of course to be understood that the embodiments
described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the
invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be
effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the
