FIG. 1.
[0019] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the magic push 100 according to
the first embodiment of the present invention includes an
attachment pad 110, a strap 120, a stopping boss 130, and a strap
guide 140.
[0020] The attachment pad 110 has an attachment surface on one side
thereof. A bonding member 111, such as a double-sided table, may be
bonded to the attachment surface of the attachment pad 110. The
attachment pad 110 may be attached to a rear surface of a
protection case 10 for a portable terminal by bonding an exposed
bonding surface of the bonding member 111 to a rear surface of the
protection case 10 for a portable terminal. The attachment pad 110
also may be attached to the rear surface of the portable terminal
20.
[0021] As another example, the attachment pad 110 may include a gel
type bonding sheet instead of the bonding member 111. In this case,
the attachment pad 110 may be easily attached to and detached from
the protection case 10 for a portable terminal or the portable
terminal 20.
[0022] The attachment pad 110 may be configured such that a core
member 110a of a hard material is covered by an outer sheath 110b
to maintain its shape. The outer sheath 110b may be formed of the
same material as the strap 120. The attachment pad 110 may be
formed of a material, such as soft plastic or metal. Further,
although it is illustrated that the attachment pad 110 has a
rectangular shape, the attachment pad 110 may have various
shapes.
[0023] Although not illustrated, as another example, a permanent
magnet may be embedded in the attachment pad 110. In this case, a
magnetic metallic pad that may be attached to the permanent magnet
with a magnetic force may be attached to a rear surface of the
protection case 10 for a portable terminal or a rear surface of the
portable terminal 20. When the permanent magnet is embedded in the
attachment pad 110, the core member may be omitted.
[0024] The strap 120 is disposed on a side that is opposite to the
attachment surface of the attachment pad 110 to extend vertically,
and an upper end of the strap 120 is fixed to an upper side of the
attachment pad 110. The upper side of the strap 120 may be fixed to
the attachment pad 110 through a coupling means, such as a rivet
121. As another example, the upper side of the strap 120 may be
fixed to the attachment pad 110 through sewing.
[0025] The strap 120 may be bent. The strap 120 may be formed of a
leather material, but may be formed of a material, such as rubber,
urethane, or silicon. The strap 120 may have a specific transverse
width. The transverse width of the strap 120 may be smaller than
the transverse width of the attachment pad 110. Meanwhile, the
setting of the upward, downward, leftward, and rightward directions
of the strap 120 is exemplary, and is not limited to the
illustrated example.
[0026] The stopping boss 130 is disposed on a side that is opposite
to the attachment pad 110 while the strap 120 is interposed
therebetween, and is fixed to a lower end of the strap. The
stopping boss 130 may include a boss body 131 and a boss head 132.
One end of the boss body 131 passes through the strap 120 to be
screw-coupled to a bolt, and thus may be fixed to the strap 120.
The boss body 131 may have a cylindrical shape.
[0027] The boss head 131 is formed at an opposite end of the boss
body 131 to have a cross-sectional area that is larger than that of
the boss body 131. The boss head 132 may have a cylindrical shape,
a diameter of which is larger than that of the boss body 132. Here,
the boss head 132 may be concentric with the boss body 131. Corners
of protruding ends of the boss head 132 may be chamfered.
[0028] The strap guide 140 includes a pocket member 141, a guide
hole 142, a lower stopping recess 143, and an upper stopping hole
144. The pocket member 141 is fixed to a side of the attachment pad
110, which is opposite to the attachment surface of the attachment
pad 110 to guide upward and downward movement of the strap 120
while a lower side of the strap 120 is inserted through an upper
opening of the attachment pad 110. An upper end of the pocket
member 141 is opened between the pocket member 141 and the
attachment pad 110 and a lower end and left and right sides of the
pocket member 141 may be closed. Accordingly, the pocket member 141
may have a pocket space 141a having an opened upper end between the
pocket member 141 and the attachment pad 110. A lower end and left
and right peripheries of the pocket member 141 may be fixed to the
attachment pad 110 through sewing or the like. Of course, the
pocket member 141 may be bonded to the attachment pad by an
adhesive. Similarly to the strap 120, the pocket member 141 may be
formed of various materials, such as a leather material, rubber,
urethane, and silicon. The pocket member 141 may have a rectangular
shape.
[0029] The pocket member 141 may have a transverse width that is
larger than the transverse width of the strap 120 and is the same
as the transverse width of the attachment pad 110. Accordingly, the
transverse width of the pocket space 141a may be larger than the
transverse width of the strap 120 so that a lower side of the strap
120 is smoothly moved in the pocket space 141a upwards and
downwards. A guide hole 142 is formed in the pocket member 141 to
guide upward and downward movement of the stopping boss 130 while
the stopping boss 130 is inserted into the guide hole 142. The
guide hole 142 may extend vertically while having a specific
transverse width. The transverse width of the guide hole 142 may be
smaller than the transverse width of the boss head 132, and may be
the same as or larger than the transverse width of the boss body
131. Accordingly, the stopping boss 130 may be prevented from being
separated when being inserted into the guide hole 142 to be moved
upwards and downwards.
[0030] A lower stopping hole 143 is formed at a lower end of the
guide hole 142 to stop the stopping boss 130 while the strap 120 is
unfolded side by side with the attachment pad 110. The lower
stopping hole 143 may include a seating hole 143a having a diameter
that is the same as the diameter of the boss body 131, and a
connection hole 143b having a width that is smaller than the
diameter of the boss body 131 and extending from the seating hole
143a to be connected to the guide hole 142.
[0031] In this case, the boss body 131 may be inserted from the
guide hole 142 to the seating hole 143a via the connection hole
143b. In this state, the boss body 131 may be stopped by the
connection hole 143b and be maintained in the seating hole 143a in
a locking manner. Accordingly, if the stopping boss 130 is stopped
by the lower stopping hole 143, the strap 120 may continue to be
unfolded side by side with the attachment pad 110.
[0032] The upper stopping hole 144 is formed at an upper end of the
guide hole 142 to stop the stopping boss 130 while a central
portion of the strap 120 is bent after a lower side of the strap
120 is pushed upwards. The upper stopping hole 144 may have the
same shape as the lower stopping hole 143. The seating hole 144a
and the connection hole 144b of the upper stopping hole 144 may
have the same shapes as the seating hole 143a and the connection
hole 143b of the lower stopping hole 143.
[0033] The upper stopping hole 144 is disposed on a side that is
opposite to the lower stopping hole 143 while the guide hole 142 is
interposed therebetween. Here, the upper stopping hole 144 is
symmetrical to the lower stopping hole 143 with respect to the
guide hole 142. Accordingly, if the stopping boss 130 is stopped by
the upper stopping hole 144, a central portion of the strap 120
continues to be bent.
[0034] Meanwhile, the magic push 100 may further include a ring
member 150. The ring member 150 may be coupled to an upper end of
the strap 120. The ring member 150 may be inserted into and coupled
to the connection hole of the upper end of the strap 120 to be
rotated about the strap 120. Accordingly, it is illustrated that
the ring member 150 has a D shape, the ring member 150 may have
various shapes.
[0035] The usages of the above-described magic push 100 will be
described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 12, together with FIGS. 1 to
5. Here, although it is illustrated that the magic push 100 is
attached to a rear surface of the protection case 10 for a portable
terminal, the same scheme may be used even when the magic push 100
is attached to the portable terminal 20.
[0036] First, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the magic push 100 is
attached to the rear surface of the protection case 10 for a
portable terminal through the attachment pad 110 by the user.
Further, the stopping boss 130 is stopped by the lower stopping
hole 143, and the strap 120 is unfolded side by side with the
attachment pad 110.
[0037] In this state, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the user pushes the
stopping boss 130 to the upper stopping recess 144 along the guide
hole 142 such that the stopping boss 130 is stopped by the upper
stopping recess 144. In this process, a lower side of the strap 120
is moved upwards in the pocket space 141a of the pocket member 141,
and accordingly, a central portion of the strap 120 is bent
convexly from an opposite side of the attachment pad 110, which is
opposite to the attachment surface, to create a ring shaped space.
Then, as illustrated in FIG. 6, because the user may grip the
protection case 10 for a portable terminal while hanging a finger
30 in the ring-shaped space of the strap 120, the portable terminal
20 mounted on the protection case 10 for a portable terminal may be
stably gripped by one hand.
[0038] Thereafter, if it becomes not necessary to use the strap 120
in the above-mentioned form any more, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the
user pushes the lower stopping recess 143 along the guide hole 142
and stops the lower stopping recess 143. In this process, the lower
side of the strap 120 is moved downwards in the pocket space 141a
of the pocket member 141, and accordingly, the central portion of
the strap 120 continue to be unfolded side by side with the
attachment pad 110.
[0039] As another example, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, if the
user changes the shape of the central portion of the strap 120 into
a ring shape and positions the strap 120 on the bottom, the strap
120 may function as a stand that holds the portable terminal 120
while the portable terminal 120 is inclined. Then, the magic push
100 may be biased to one side with respect to a vertical central
line of the protection case 10 for a portable terminal by the user
and may be attached to the protection case 10 for a portable
terminal.
[0040] In this case, while the left and right sides of the magic
push 100 is laid upwards and downwards, the holding angle of the
portable terminal 20 may become different according to on which
sides of the magic push 100 the user positions on the bottom.
Further, the holding angle of the portable terminal 20 may be
different according to a location at which the user attaches the
magic push 100 to the protection case 10 for a portable terminal.
Accordingly, the user may change the holding angle of the portable
terminal 20 to a desired angle.
[0041] As another example, as illustrated in FIG. 9, when the magic
push 100 includes the ring member 150, the user may hang the magic
push 100 in the interior of the vehicle by using the ring member
150. To achieve this, a holder 40 may be attached to the interior
of the vehicle. The holder 40 includes a holder pad 41 and a holder
boss 42. The holder pad 41 may be attached to the interior of the
vehicle by using a bonding member. The holder boss 42 has the same
shape as the stopping boss 130 and may be fixed to the holder pad
41.
[0042] Because the magic push 100 may be hung on the holder 40 if
the user hangs the ring member 150 on the holder boss 42, the
portable terminal 20 may be held in the interior of the vehicle.
Because the magic push 100 may be separated from the holder 40 if
the user separates the ring member 150 from the holder boss 42, the
portable terminal 20 may be released from the holding state in the
interior of the vehicle.
[0043] As another example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the user may
insert the necklace strap 50 into the ring member 150. Accordingly,
the user may use the portable terminal 20 after hanging the
portable terminal 20 on a neck by using the strap 50.
[0044] As another example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the magic
push 100 may be used as a key holder by inserting a key 60 into the
ring member 150. In this case, the attachment pad 110 includes a
gel type bonding sheet or a permanent magnet so that the magic push
100 may be attached to and detached from a refrigerator or the
like. Further, the magic push 100, into which the key 60 is
inserted, may be held in the interior of the vehicle.
[0045] FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a magic push according to a
second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13 is a
perspective view illustrating a process of receiving and extracting
a card into and from a card reception hole of an attachment pad in
FIG. 12. FIGS. 14 and 15 are views illustrating examples of holding
a portable terminal by the magic push of FIG. 12.
[0046] Referring to FIG. 12, in the magic push 200 according to the
second embodiment of the present invention, the attachment pad 210
has a transverse width that is larger than the transverse width of
the pocket member 141. Accordingly, the attachment pad 210 may be
stably attached to the rear surface of the protection case 10 for a
portable terminal or the portable terminal 20 with an increased
attachment area.
[0047] The attachment pad 210 may have a transverse width that is
larger than the transverse width of the card 70, and may have a
longitudinal length that is larger than the longitudinal length of
the card 70. In this case, the attachment card 210 may include a
card reception hole 216 that receives the card 70.
[0048] For example, the attachment pad 210 may includes two sheet
members 217a and 217b, each of which has an opened upper end and a
lower end and left and right peripheries of which are coupled to
each other to be closed. Here, the lower ends and the left and
right peripheries of the sheet members 217a and 217b may be coupled
to each other through sewing. Of course, the sheet members 217a and
217b may be bonded to each other by using an adhesive. The interior
space between the sheet members 217a and 217b forms the card
reception hole 216.
[0049] The attachment pad 210 may have a cutaway recess 218 at a
portion of a lower end thereof. The cutaway recess 218 communicates
with the card reception hole 216. The cutaway recess 218 may have a
semicircular shape. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the user may easily
extract the card 70 from the card reception hole 216 by pushing the
card 70 upwards through the cutaway recess 218 while the card 70 is
received in the card reception hole 216.
[0050] The strap 120 may be biased to one side with respect to a
vertical central line of the attachment pad 210. In this case, as
illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, while the left and right sides of
the strap 120 is laid upwards and downwards, the holding angle of
the portable terminal 20 in the protection case 10 for a portable
terminal may become different according to on which sides of the
strap 120 the user positions on the bottom. Accordingly, the user
may change the holding angle of the portable terminal 20 to a
desired angle.
[0051] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been
described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is simply
exemplary and it may be understood by those skilled in the art that
various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible.
Accordingly, the genuine protection scope of the present invention
shall be determined only by the attached claims.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
[0052] The magic push according to the present invention may be
attached to a portable terminal so that the portable terminal may
be safely carried and may be positioned on the bottom in an upright
posture.
