Introduction
In electronics, everyone is familiar with protective cases for gadgets, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. However, as equipment and pads move, protection must be increased, the material must be more substantial, and handling should be easier. One of the innovative solutions is us patent US10334924B2, which presents a new design of protective cases. The subject invention has a relatively flexible body and a rigid support system that protects and supports such devices.
This is us patent us10334924b2 contained in PCT/CN2017/081439, elevating electronic device accessories to a higher level. It focuses on improving the connection between the protective case and the support assembly, eliminating many problems that previous cases could not.
What is US Patent US10334924B2?
The main objective of US patent US10334924B2 is to provide protective housing that keeps the housing and support assembly firmly connected. Old designs included issues where the case could be separated when using the prop, making the case less effective. That’s where this patent comes in handy, as the flexible body is combined with a robust support assembly that would hold everything firmly in place.
Key features of the us patent us10334924b2:
- Flexible body: Normally, this is a flexible material because it has to fit the device perfectly and, at the same time, sufficiently shield it from interference.
- Support Build: This includes:
- Fixing plate: Another piece of steel helps fix the prop on the shell plate.
- Support Arm: This part keeps the device upright.
- Pivot Assembly: A system by which the support arm can be moved or adjusted as needed along the mounting plate.
- Swivel mechanism: This support arm must rotate around this swivel assembly so the user can open and close the arm. This ensures that the device will stand on its own if needed.
- Mounting zone: Two holes and a middle plate; the product is tightly screwed to the flexible body, which is used to fix the fixing plate.
How it works:
- The mounting plate passes through the holes in the flexible body and is fixed in place with a snap connection.
- The connection plate also ensures that the strength of the connection between the support assembly and the housing is intact.
- This configuration ensures the support assembly is well secured so it cannot quickly come loose during regular operation.
- This design solution significantly increases the potential and permanent functionality of electronic devices.
The challenges they solve
Consumer electronics protective covers are sometimes not an adequate solution for users due to the rapidly changing market. The disconnect between the bushing and the support arm, if present in the earlier designs of the protective bushings, was weak and likely to break or separate. US patent US10334924B2 addresses these key challenges by introducing an innovative solution to the market.
Problems addressed by the patent:
- The weak connection between support and cover: The support between the support and the protective cover is usually not strong enough. This patent eliminates this problem using a latching mechanism and a fixing plate.
- Support Disconnection: In previous designs, the supports can be easily removed. The conformable nature of the body within this patent ensures that the support stays in place even when subjected to heavy use.
- Lack of stability: In many cases, the device moves or falls into the wrong position because the support is poorly placed. This swivel assembly ensures the gadget remains upright and fastest, with maximum balance.
Benefits for users:
- Increased durability: The case can withstand various situations while maintaining its function of protecting the device.
- Improved Usability: This operational flexibility of the body allows the overall support assembly to be used when the device is in the case.
- Comfortable design: The case serves as a cover for the device, but it does so in a way that the device stands up well for typical casual use as well as browsing.
Flexibility and pivot mechanisms discussed
A key aspect of our us patent us10334924b2 patent is the innovative pivoting assembly, allowing the support arm to be open and close. This mechanism also allows the case to act as a stand if desired, providing an upright position for electronic devices. A pivoting element is integrated into the support assembly where the support assembly remains locked and secure when not in use, and its position can be easily controlled depending on the user’s preference.
Bullets on the rotating mechanism:
- Swivel Support Arm: The support arm is connected by a swivel assembly and can be easily folded and unfolded when needed.
- Adjustable viewing angles: This is useful because it allows the user to adjust the device to that comfortable viewing angle.
- Secure Closure: A support arm that stays perfectly in place when not in use to prevent any loosening increases the gear’s safety profile.
Practical applications of US patent US10334924B2
The US patent US10334924B2 is a technical document and a practical solution to users’ everyday problems with electronic devices. The protective case is suitable for mobile phones, tablets, and even laptops, as it protects and covers both devices. Whether used at home, in the office or even on the go, this design provides adequate protection for these electronic devices and can be used.
Examples of use:
- Smartphones: The case allows a stand for the phone, so without holding the phone, it can perform other functions, such as talking on the phone or watching videos.
- Tablets: Supports tablets to prevent slipping or shifting, making them suitable for any occasion, including reading or watching videos and working.
- Notebooks: The flexible body of the notebook, which is to be anchored, ensures its safety and can be adjusted to obtain an ergonomic position.
Pros of a patent proposal
US Patent US10334924B2 offers numerous advantages that set it apart from other protective covers. These include:
- Stronger support structure: Fixing the plate and swivel assembly ensures a better positional connection between the holder and the case, except for separation.
- Flexible use: This flexible part allows easy device control while providing maximum protection.
- Easy to adjust: The support arm can be easily changed by the user to another suitable position depending on the required viewing angle of the work.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the US patent US10334924B2 represents a significant advance in designing protective covers for electronic devices. Compared with traditional protective cases, this new design provides the following solutions: the body is designed to be flexible, the assembly can rotate, and the support connection is very robust. Indeed, this patent represents a valuable new protection for modern electronic products while providing a practical approach to the problem with a focus on longevity.
FAQs
1. What is US patent US10334924B2 supposed to solve?
The patent aims to secure and attach each support assembly to the protective housing so they cannot be easily removed and improve their durability.
2. What role does the pivot assembly play in this patent?
A swivel assembly connects the frame’s support arm to a mounting plate, allowing the arm to be opened and closed to accommodate different upright equipment positions.
3. Is the protective casing compatible with all electronic devices?
It is mainly focused on smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Still, the flexible design and customization of the body part and mounting zone can be adapted to any other device of any size or model.
