Description

The present invention relates to a plate-like device capable of displaying an image, such as a tablet PC (Personal Computer), an electronic book reader, a smartphone, a notebook computer (folded plate-like), a personal digital assistant (PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)), and a flat TV. The present invention also relates to a tablet-type device support that supports a pen tablet that is an input-only interface.

In recent years, image display devices such as personal computers, portable terminals, and televisions have been reduced in size and weight, and a compact tablet-type device can be easily used in various scenes. These smaller and lighter tablet devices are not only installed and used on desks and TV stands, but also have the advantage that they can be carried anywhere and used. Or used in a car or where there is no desk to install.

In such a case, since the tablet type device needs to be supported by the hand, a load is applied to the hand due to the weight, and fatigue accumulates during long-time use. In addition, when operating the tablet device, the hand supporting the tablet device cannot be used, so it must be operated only with the other hand, which is difficult to operate. In addition, when using a tablet-type device in a variety of postures, such as sitting down or lying down, the distance from the eye to the tablet-type device will inevitably be shortened if supported by hand. Fatigue accumulates.

Patent Document 1 is a book for bed or a mounting table for information equipment used when lying on a bed and viewing information equipment, and a semicircular arm is fixed to the constituent members on both sides of the bed. It is invention which mounts.

(Embodiment 1)

FIG. 1 is a six-sided view for explaining the appearance of a tablet support according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, in which (A) is a plan view, (B) is a front view, (C) is a right side view, and (D ) Is a left side view, (E) is a bottom view, and (F) is a rear view. In addition, the tablet support of FIG. 1 has shown the state at the time of unused.

As shown in FIG. 1 (B), this tablet support has a "<"-shaped cushion 21, a handle 22 and a "<"-shaped cushion 20 connected in series from the left in front view. A frame body is formed. The “<”-shaped cushions 21, 20 are formed from a substantially “<”-shaped elastic member, and the handle portion 22 has a substantially single-shaped elasticity that is thinner than the “<-” shaped cushions 21, 20. It is molded from members. In this frame, the “ku” -shaped cushion 21 is arranged in a substantially angle bracket (“) shape, the“ ku ”-shaped cushion 20 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the“ ku ”-shaped cushion 21, and The handle portion 22 is arranged so as to connect between the “<” shaped cushions 21, 20, thereby forming a substantially square shape. Note that this substantially U-shaped shape is substantially U-shaped when viewed by rotating approximately 90 degrees clockwise.

A holding belt 18 is bridged between the "<"-shaped cushion 20 and the "<"-shaped cushion 21 so as to close the opening of the substantially square-shaped frame. The holding belt 18 is connected to the “<” shape cushion 21 via the ring portion 13, and is connected to the “<” shape cushion 20 via the ring portion 14. A storage case 26 for storing the tablet type device 19 is attached to the holding belt 18.

The tablet device 19 includes a tablet PC, an electronic book reader, a smartphone, a notebook computer (folded plate shape), a plate-shaped device capable of displaying an image such as a portable information terminal and a flat TV, and a plate-shaped pen tablet. Any of these may be used. Further, it may be a book such as a magazine or a book. The details of the mounting structure of the storage case 26 to the holding belt 18 and the storage structure of the tablet device 19 in the storage case 26 will be described later, and the description of FIG. 1 will be continued here. In the following, the tablet device 19 is assumed to be a tablet PC unless otherwise specified.

The tablet support is attached with a longitudinal cushion 17 formed from an elastic member so as to extend downward from the lower end of the "<"-shaped cushion 20 in a front view. A sheet-like cushion 15 formed from an elastic member is attached in parallel to the left side of the longitudinal cushion 17. The seat-like cushion 15 is connected to the longitudinal cushion 17 with a length of about one third of the lower end side when viewed from the front, and has a gap with the longitudinal cushion 17 with a length of about two thirds of the upper side. 16 is formed. For convenience of explanation, a portion having a length of about one third of the lower side of the seat cushion 15 is referred to as a short direction cushion 15a, and a portion having a length of about two thirds of the upper side is mainly used. It shall be called the cushion 15b.

Further, the sheet-like cushion 15 appears in substantially the same plane as the “<” shape cushion 21, the handle portion 22, the “<” shape cushion 20, and the longitudinal cushion 17 in a plan view (FIG. 1A). As seen from the right side ((D) of FIG. 1), it appears in substantially the same plane as the “<”-shaped cushion 21. The sheet-like cushion 15 is hidden behind the longitudinal cushion 17 when viewed from the left side (FIG. 1C), and hidden behind the longitudinal cushion 17 when viewed from the bottom (FIG. 1E). Therefore, when not in use, the sheet cushion 15 is disposed on the same plane together with the mounting member and the longitudinal cushion 17.

In addition, as shown to (F) of FIG. 1, a tablet support has a substantially symmetrical structure with a rear view and the front view shown to (B) of FIG. However, the tablet device 19 is located on the front side of the holding belt 18 as viewed from the front, but is stored and hidden in the storage case 26 located on the back side of the holding belt 18 when viewed from the back.

Therefore, here, the assembly of the holding belt 18, the ring portions 13 and 14, and the storage case 26 constitutes an attachment member for attaching the tablet type device 19 in the tablet support. The sheet-like cushion 15 (including a built-in framework (described later)) constitutes a support member disposed at a position facing the mounting member. Further, the assembly of the substantially square-shaped frame (including a built-in framework (described later)) and the longitudinal cushion 17 (including a built-in framework (described later)) constitutes a support member. In addition, if the member which comprises an attachment member, a supporting member, and a support | pillar member is a framework which can form the space enclosed from three directions, it will not be limited to the structure shown here.

The tablet support is provided with upper lateral frame tip stoppers 12a and 12b. As shown in FIG. 1D, the upper horizontal frame end stopper 12a extends so as to straddle the ring portion 13 upward from the lower end side of the “<” shape cushion 21, and A cushion 21 is detachably attached to the upper end side of the cushion 21. Further, as shown in FIG. 1C, the upper horizontal frame end stopper 12b extends from the lower end side of the "<"-shaped cushion 20 upward so as to straddle the ring portion 14, and "<" A hook 20a is detachably attached to the upper end of the U-shaped cushion 20. Therefore, the upper horizontal frame end stoppers 12 a and 12 b can prevent the ring portions 13 and 14 from falling off from the lower ends of the “<” shaped cushions 21 and 20.

The tablet support is provided with a protective band 47 that protects the joint between the “<” shape cushion 20 and the longitudinal cushion 17. The protective band 47 prevents the built-in frame from being exposed from the joint between the “<” shape cushion 20 and the longitudinal cushion 17. This framework is formed by bending or joining rod-shaped frames. Hereinafter, this framework will be described.

2A and 2B are views for explaining the structure of the framework of the tablet support shown in FIG. 1, wherein FIG. 2A is a plan view, FIG. 2B is a front view, and FIG. 2C is a right side view. FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a state of the left side obliquely upward view of the framework of the tablet support shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a state when the framework of the tablet support shown in FIG. 2 is not used. FIG. 5 is a perspective view for explaining a state when the framework of the tablet support shown in FIG. 2 is used.

As shown in FIG. 2B, in the plan view, the upper vertical frame 1, the upper horizontal frame 2, the full length vertical frame 3, the lower horizontal frame 4 and the lower vertical frame 5 are bent by a single rod-shaped frame member. It is molded by processing and bears a part of the framework. Here, between the upper vertical frame 1 and the upper horizontal frame 2, between the upper horizontal frame 2 and the full length vertical frame 3, between the full length vertical frame 3 and the lower horizontal frame 4, and the lower horizontal frame 4 and the lower vertical frame 5 In the meantime, both are bent at an angle of about 90 degrees. Thereby, the series of the upper horizontal frame 2, the full length vertical frame 3, and the lower horizontal frame 4 form a substantially U-shape.

On the other hand, a gear 9 is attached to the tip of the lower vertical frame 5 extending upward as viewed from the front. The seat mounting vertical frame 6 is connected to the lower vertical frame 5 via the gear 9. The vertical frame 6 for sheet attachment is formed by bending a single rod-shaped frame material together with the horizontal frame 7 for sheet attachment and the vertical frame 8 for sheet attachment. Here, the space between the vertical frame 6 for seat attachment and the horizontal frame 7 for sheet attachment and between the horizontal frame 7 for sheet attachment and the vertical frame 8 for seat attachment are both bent at an angle of approximately 90 degrees. . As a result, the series of the vertical frame 6 for mounting sheets, the horizontal frame 7 for mounting sheets, and the vertical frame 8 for mounting sheets forms a substantially square shape.

Further, a gear 10 is attached to the front end of the seat mounting vertical frame 8 so as to pass through the same rotational axis as the gear 9 when viewed from the front. And the sheet | seat attachment vertical frame 8 is connected to the junction part 11 which curves to the downward right side via the gear 10. FIG. The lower end of the joint 11 is joined to the lower horizontal frame 4 by welding or the like. Therefore, the gears 9 and 10 are composed of a substantially U-shaped frame composed of a series of an upper vertical frame 1, an upper horizontal frame 2, a full length vertical frame 3, a lower horizontal frame 4 and a lower vertical frame 5, and a seat mounting vertical frame 6. In addition, the frame is located in a portion that divides the substantially frame-shaped frame composed of the continuous frame 7 for seat attachment and the vertical frame 8 for seat attachment. The substantially U-shaped frame and the substantially U-shaped frame are rotatable in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction within a predetermined angle range around the gears 9 and 10, and The angle formed can be arbitrarily adjusted by the gears 9 and 10.

Therefore, the gear 9 and the gear 10 serve as a rotation mechanism that pivotally supports the substantially square-shaped frame and the substantially U-shaped frame so that the frame can be positioned at an arbitrary angle by rotating both the forward and reverse directions within a predetermined angle range. It has the function of For example, as shown in the right side view of FIG. 2C and the schematic view of FIG. 3, the seat mounting vertical frame 8 is centered on the rotational axis of the gear 10 (gear 9) with respect to the full length vertical frame 3. As shown, the range indicated by the semi-circular arrow can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise. The angle adjustment of the rotation may be adjustable in multiple steps or may be adjusted smoothly. In FIG. 2C, for convenience of explanation, the seat mounting vertical frame 8 and the gear 10 hidden in the full length vertical frame 3 are shown so as to be seen through the full length vertical frame 3.

2 (C), when viewed from the right side, when the seat mounting vertical frame 8 is rotated to the right of the arrow from the full length length 3, the plan view shown in FIG. The frame of the mold appears on the upper side of the upper horizontal frame 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the substantially U-shaped frame including the vertical frame 8 for attaching the seat rotates to the left side of the substantially U-shaped frame including the full length vertical frame 3. Corresponds to the state.

On the other hand, in FIG. 2C, when the seat mounting vertical frame 8 is rotated to the left of the arrow from the full length length 3 in the right side view, the plan view shown in FIG. The character-shaped skeleton appears on the lower side of the upper horizontal frame 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the substantially U-shaped frame including the vertical frame 8 for mounting the seat rotates to the right side of the substantially U-shaped frame including the full length vertical frame 3. Corresponds to the state.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2C and FIG. 3, the case where the rotation direction of the gear 9 and the gear 10 can be rotated in both the left and right directions has been described, but a gear that rotates in either one is used. May be. In the following description, in FIG. 2C, a case where the seat mounting vertical frame 8 is rotated to the right side of the arrow from the full length length 3 as viewed from the right side will be described as an example.

The gears 9 and 10 are provided with a mechanism (not shown) that locks at a predetermined angle so that the angle between the substantially square-shaped frame and the substantially U-shaped frame can be maintained at a predetermined angle. It has become. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the gears 9 and 10 can be locked so that the substantially square-shaped frame and the substantially U-shaped frame are aligned on the same plane. In this case, as will be described later, the state of the framework when the tablet support is not used is shown. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the gears 9 and 10 can be locked so that the substantially square-shaped frame maintains a predetermined angle that is rotated to the left rear side than the substantially U-shaped frame. In this case, as will be described later, the state of the framework when the tablet support is used is shown.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, bands 23 and 24 are bridged between the seat mounting vertical frame 6 and the seat mounting vertical frame 8. A band 25 is bridged between the lower vertical frame 5 and the joint 11. The material of the bands 23, 24, 25 may be PP (polypropylene), but is not limited to this (the same applies to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5).

Further, here, the upper vertical frame 1, the upper horizontal frame 2, the full length vertical frame 3, the lower horizontal frame 4 and the lower vertical frame 5, as well as the seat mounting vertical frame 6, the seat mounting horizontal frame 7 and the seat mounting vertical frame. Although the case where the frame 8 is formed by bending a single rod-shaped frame material has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be formed by connecting or joining one or more frame members, or a frame may be formed by bundling two or more pipe-shaped frame members instead of a rod shape. A frame may be formed by combining two or more pipe-shaped frame members and bundling them.

Next, the state of the framework of the tablet support shown in FIG. 2 in the tablet support shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a front view showing a transparent state of the tablet support according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a right side view showing the transparent state of the tablet support shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a transparent state of the tablet support shown in FIG. 6.

As shown in FIG. 6, the “<”-shaped cushion 21 is provided so as to cover about one third of the left side of the upper vertical frame 1 and the upper horizontal frame 2. The handle portion 22 is provided so as to cover about one third of the center of the upper horizontal frame 2. The "<"-shaped cushion 20 is provided so as to cover approximately one third of the right side of the upper horizontal frame 2 and approximately one third of the upper side of the full length vertical frame 3. The longitudinal cushion 17 is provided so as to cover about two-thirds of the lower side of the full length vertical frame 3.

The seat-like cushion 15 covers the lower horizontal frame 4, and is a substantially bowl-shaped frame body including a vertical frame 6 for mounting the seat, a horizontal frame 7 for mounting the seat, and a vertical frame 8 for mounting the seat along the edge. It is provided so as to cover. Bands 23, 24, and 25 are attached to the substantially square frame, so that when pressure is applied to the center side of the seat cushion 15, the bands 23, 24, and 25 resist the pressure and the seats. The deformation amount of the cushion 15 can be suppressed. Thereby, moderate cushioning properties can be given to the user.

The sheet-like cushion 15, the longitudinal cushion 17, the “ku” -shaped cushion 20, and the “ku” -shaped cushion 21 are made of, for example, an elastic member such as urethane or cotton, which is a surface of vinyl chloride, leather, cloth or the like. Molded by covering with material. A highly airtight surface material such as vinyl chloride may be filled with air. In particular, it is preferable to use an elastic member having appropriate rigidity for the “<>”-shaped cushion 20 and “<>”-shaped cushion 21 while having appropriate shock absorption. Appropriate impact absorbability is elasticity that can protect the tablet device 19 (see FIG. 1 and the like) from impact. Moreover, moderate hardness is a hardness of a grade suitable for sliding the ring part 13 and the ring part 14 along the upper side horizontal frame 2 and the full length vertical frame 3. As shown in FIG.

Note that the sheet-like cushion 15, the longitudinal cushion 17, the “ku” -shaped cushion 20, and the “ku” -shaped cushion 21 are different from each other even if the same elastic member or surface material is used. A material may be used. Moreover, since the handle part 22 is gripped when carrying a tablet support, it is shape | molded by resin, such as rubber | gum etc. which has the thickness of the grade which protects the upper side frame 2, and grip property, for example.

As shown in FIG. 6, the seat mounting vertical frame 8 and the full length vertical frame 3 are arranged with a predetermined interval therebetween. The predetermined interval may be as long as the thickness of the cushion material attached to the full length vertical frame 3 in order to form the longitudinal cushion 17.

Also, here, the tablet support represents an average size structure for one person. That is, the upper horizontal frame 2 and the lower horizontal frame 4 are formed to have the same length that is slightly wider than the average shoulder width, and the full length vertical frame 3 is formed to be longer than the average arm length. Therefore, the upper horizontal frame 2 and the lower horizontal frame 4 are formed shorter than the full length vertical frame 3. In this case, the full length vertical frame 3 is the longitudinal direction, and the upper horizontal frame 2 and the lower horizontal frame 4 are the short direction.

For example, in the case of a tablet support for two people, the upper horizontal frame 2 and the lower horizontal frame 4 are formed longer than the full length vertical frame 3. Therefore, in this case, it is accurate that the full length vertical frame 3 is in the short direction and the upper horizontal frame 2 and the lower horizontal frame 4 are in the long direction. However, for convenience of explanation, in this specification, the full length vertical frame 3 is Is defined as the longitudinal direction, and the directions of the upper horizontal frame 2 and the lower horizontal frame 4 are defined as the short direction.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 7, when the full length vertical frame 3, the lower vertical frame 5, the seat mounting vertical frame 8, and the gear 10 are arranged on a substantially straight line, 20, located in the center of the left and right direction of each cushion including the longitudinal cushion 17. At this time, the sheet-like cushion 15 (see FIG. 6) is hidden behind the longitudinal cushion 17 or the like and stored inside the frame, and becomes invisible, and has a compact appearance surrounded by a substantially flat surface without large protrusions. Therefore, when the tablet support is not in use, it has a compact appearance surrounded by a substantially flat surface, so that it can be easily carried with the handle portion 22. In this case, since the center of gravity is located below the handle portion 22, the stability during carrying is also improved.

On the other hand, when the tablet support is used, the user can use the “<” shape cushion 21, the handle 22, and the “<” shape with respect to the tablet support in the unused state shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The cushion 20, the longitudinal cushion 17, and the short cushion 15a are pressed so as not to rotate. Then, the substantially U-shaped frame composed of a series of the upper vertical frame 1, the upper horizontal frame 2, the full length vertical frame 3, the lower horizontal frame 4, and the lower vertical frame 5 is pressed so as not to rotate. When the user applies a force (or pressing force) to the main cushion 15b, the force is applied to the substantially square-shaped frame inside the seat cushion 15.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the lower vertical frame 5 and the seat mounting vertical frame 6 rotate in the opposite directions via the gear 9 and the lower horizontal frame 4 and the seat mounting via the gear 10. The vertical frame 8 rotates in the opposite direction. Therefore, the substantially U-shaped frame and the substantially U-shaped frame rotate relatively in opposite directions via the gears 9 and 10.

The angle between the substantially U-shaped frame and the substantially U-shaped frame is locked to an optimum angle by the gears 9 and 10 so that it can be used as a backrest or a backrest according to the posture during use. Can be used. That is, when used in a sitting state, the seat cushion 15 is used as a backrest, and when used in a state lying on its side, the seat cushion 15 is used as a backrest and further lying on its back. When doing so, the sheet-like cushion 15 can be used as a backrest and a pillow. Therefore, fatigue applied to the body during operation of the tablet device 19 can be reduced, and the tablet device 19 can be operated comfortably.

Here, the relationship between each cushion and the framework will be described by taking the longitudinal cushion 17 as an example. FIG. 9 is a view for explaining a longitudinal cushion provided in the tablet support of the first embodiment. 9, (A) is a cross-sectional view taken along line Ω-Ω shown in FIG. 6, (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along line γ-γ shown in (A), and (C) is a longitudinal direction shown in (B). It is the figure which looked at the cushion from the back side. (D) is a Ψ-Ψ line section arrow view shown in FIG. (F) is an α-α line cross-sectional view of the longitudinal cushion shown in (C), and (G) is a β-β cross-sectional view of the longitudinal cushion shown in (C).

As shown in FIG. 9A, in the left side view, in the longitudinal cushion 17, the full length vertical frame 3 located on the lower side has a width of about the thickness on the lower end side (see FIG. 6) of the seat cushion 15 (see FIG. 6). It is formed so as to be located in a portion closer to the lower edge than the middle “circle” shape). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, since the lower horizontal frame 4 connected to the full length vertical frame 3 is separated from the gears 9 and 10, the short side cushion 15a (see FIG. 8 etc.) on the side contacting the person becomes thick. ing.

As shown in FIG. 9B, since the full length vertical frame 3 is located on the left end side of the longitudinal cushion 17, the right side of the longitudinal cushion 7 in contact with the person is thicker. As shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, the thickness of the longitudinal cushion 17 is the same in the central portion that may come into contact with a person except for the upper and lower ends. Moreover, as shown to (D) of FIG. 9, the longitudinal direction cushion 17 surrounds the surroundings of the full length vertical frame 3 by the ellipse shape at the upper end side. As shown in FIGS. 9F and 9G, the longitudinal cushion 17 surrounds the full length vertical frame 3 so that the lower side is thicker than the upper side.

By the way, as described with reference to FIG. 1, the tablet-type device 19 can be fixed substantially at the center of the holding belt 18, and the holding belt 18 is a “C” -shaped cushion that incorporates the full length vertical frame 3. 20 and a “U” -shaped cushion 21 containing the upper vertical frame 1 are provided as a bridge. Here, the attachment structure of the storage case 26 to the holding belt 18 and the storage structure of the tablet device 19 in the storage case 26 will be described. FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view for explaining an attachment example 1 of the tablet-type device in the tablet support shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10, the ring portions 13 and 14 are each formed in a band shape that can be wound around the “<” shaped cushions 20 and 21 (see FIG. 1 and the like). Further, hook and loop fasteners 37a and 37b are attached to the ring portions 13 and 14 at both ends in the length direction, respectively. For this reason, the ring portions 13 and 14 are formed in a ring shape by attaching both ends thereof with a hook-and-loop fastener 37. The ring portions 13 and 14 can slide along the “<” shaped cushions 20 and 21. Further, the ring portions 13 and 14 are formed with bolt insertion holes 35a for inserting the bolts 34a. The bolt 34a is adapted to fit a nut 34b.

The holding belt 18 is formed with a laterally long slit 32 extending to the left and right in the vicinity of the approximate center in the left-right direction. Upright portions 36 are formed at both ends of the holding belt 18 by bending approximately 90 degrees, and bolt insertion holes 35b for inserting bolts 34a are formed in the upright portions 36.

The tablet support is provided with a storage case 26 as a structure for fixing the tablet device 19 to the holding belt 18. The storage case 26 is formed in a cubic shape that is slightly larger than the outer shape of the tablet device 19. The storage case 26 is formed with openings 26a through which the tablet-type device 19 can be inserted and removed on both the left and right sides, and a fastener 25A for closing the opening 26a is attached. A convex portion 25 a is formed on the fastener 25 A, and the convex portion 25 a is fitted into a retaining hole 25 b formed on the edge of the storage case 26.

In addition, the storage case 26 has an opening 26b formed in a frame shape on the front surface so that the display screen and operation surface of the tablet device 19 can be seen. A transparent sheet may be attached to the opening 26a so as to cover the entire frame and close the opening. Further, an insertion hole 31 for inserting the bolt 30 is formed on the back surface of the storage case 26.

The storage case 26 is attached to the holding belt 18 by passing the bolt 30 inserted into the insertion hole 31 through the slit 32 and tightening with the nut 33. At this time, since the bolt 30 can move in the left-right direction along the slit 32, the storage case 26 can be positioned appropriately. Therefore, the position in the left-right direction of the tablet-type device 19 stored in the storage case 26 can be adjusted.

A frame cushion 29 made of an elastic member such as rubber that absorbs impact is attached to the storage case 26 so as to cover the front side edge. Thereby, since the frame-shaped cushion 29 absorbs the impact applied to the storage case 26, the tablet-type device 19 stored in the storage case 26 can be protected from the impact.

FIG. 11 is an exploded perspective view for explaining a mounting example 2 of the tablet-type device in the tablet support shown in FIG. The structures of the ring portions 13 and 14 and the holding belt 18 are the same as those of the attachment example 1, and the other components having the same functions as those of the transaction example 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description of the same components as the transaction example 1 is omitted. To do. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the attachment example 1 will be described.

The tablet support in the case of the attachment example 2 is provided with a storage case 38 as a structure for fixing the tablet device 19 to the holding belt 18. The storage case 38 is formed in a cubic shape that is slightly larger than the outer shape of the tablet device 19. Similar to the storage case 26 (see FIG. 10), the storage case 38 is formed with an opening 26a, a fastener 25A, a convex portion 25a, a fastening hole 25b, and an opening 26b. Moreover, the point to which the frame-shaped cushion 29 is attached is also the same.

The storage case 38 has an opening 38a formed on the back side. And in this storage case 38, the board 39 which plugs up the opening part 38a is fitted and attached to the slit 38b. A pin 38c is fitted into the hole 39a formed in the plate 39.

The method for fixing the tablet device 19 on the holding belt 18 is not limited to the first and second mounting examples. For example, a frame-shaped holding frame on which the tablet-type device 19 can be fitted and fixed may be provided on the holding belt 18, or the tablet-type device 19 may be directly fixed on the holding belt 18.

Hereinafter, tablet supports according to Embodiments 2 to 8 of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the first embodiment, description of the configurations and functions will be omitted, and different configurations and functions will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 2)
15A and 15B are perspective views for explaining a tablet support according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, in which FIG. 15A is a perspective view showing a state when not in use, and FIG. 15B is a perspective view showing functional features. It is. This tablet support is characterized by a skeleton, and includes a skeleton angle adjusting mechanism (second rotation mechanism) to which a tablet-type device is attached.

As shown in FIG. 15A, in this tablet support, the upper vertical frame 1, the upper horizontal frame 2 and the upper vertical frame 3a are formed by bending a single rod-shaped frame member, and the lower vertical frame 3b. The lower horizontal frame 4 and the lower vertical frame 5 are also formed by bending a single rod-shaped frame material. A gear (second rotation mechanism) 40 is attached between the upper vertical frame 3a and the lower vertical frame 3b. That is, the second embodiment has a structure in which the full length vertical frame 3 of the first embodiment is divided into an upper vertical frame 3a and a lower vertical frame 3b, and the gear 40 is connected therebetween.

And as shown to (B) of FIG. 15, the upper vertical frame 3a can adjust an angle with respect to the lower vertical frame 3b with the gear 40. FIG. Thereby, the angle of the tablet-type apparatus with respect to a user, height, and distance can be changed. By using the angle adjustments of the gears 9 and 10 and the gear 40 together, it is possible to make finer adjustments according to the user than in the case of the first embodiment.

Therefore, according to the tablet support of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the user enters the space surrounded from the three directions and supports the seat cushion with the back or buttocks other than the hand. The tablet device can be supported at a predetermined height position with respect to the user.

This has the effect of reducing the physical and eye strain and making the operation easy.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 16 is a perspective view for explaining a tablet support according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, and shows a state when not in use. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of a perspective state showing the feature of the function of the tablet support shown in FIG. In FIG. 17, the states indicated by “upper horizontal frame 2A, movable tube 41A” and “upper horizontal frame 2B, movable tube 41B” are imaginary states within the movable range of “upper horizontal frame 2a, movable tube 41”. Is shown. This tablet support has a feature in a skeleton, and is a structure that can move a skeleton including a portion to which a tablet-type device is attached to an arbitrary position.

As shown in FIG. 16, this tablet support has a structure formed by connecting the upper horizontal frame 2 a and the lower vertical frame 3 c with a movable tube 41. The upper horizontal frame 2a and the upper part of the movable tube 41 constitute one end side of the column member. And if the movable tube 41 is in a movable range, it can hold | maintain arbitrary angles. Therefore, the upper horizontal frame 2 a is adjusted to an arbitrary angle with respect to the lower vertical frame 3 c by the movable tube 41. The movable tube 41 may not cover the cushion material.

For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the movable tube 41 is rotated to the near side with the lower vertical frame 3c as the center, so that the upper horizontal frame 2a is positioned obliquely to the near side, or like the movable tube 41A. The upper horizontal frame 2A can be positioned obliquely on the back side by rotating it to the back side. Further, the movable tube 41B is erected and retracted to a position such as the upper horizontal frame 2a, and is a substantially U-shaped frame comprising the seat mounting vertical frame 6, the sheet mounting horizontal frame 7 and the sheet mounting vertical frame 8. It is also possible to release the upper part of.

In the tablet support of the third embodiment, since the upper horizontal frame 2a is formed in a straight line and the movable tube 41 is used, a structure different from the tablet structure mounting structure of the first embodiment is required. It is. Here, an example of attachment of the tablet device of the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 18 is an exploded perspective view for explaining an example of the attachment.

The attachment example of the third embodiment is characterized in the structure for attaching the storage case 38. In the attachment example 2 of the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 11, the storage case 38 is attached to the holding belt 18 supported on the left and right by the ring portions 13 and 14. Since the structure of the storage case 38 is the same as that of the attachment example 1, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. Here, differences from the mounting example 2 of the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 11 will be mainly described.

A cushion material 20a is attached to a part of the upper horizontal frame 2a (see FIG. 16 and the like) and the movable tube 41. A sheet-like attachment member 46 is wound around the cushion material 20a. The mounting member 46 is formed with a flat portion 46 a for mounting the plate 39. The flat portion 46 a is formed to have substantially the same hardness as the plate 39. A hole 46b is formed at substantially the center of the flat portion 46a so that the bolt 30 can be inserted and tightened with the nut 33.

In addition, flexible strips 46 c and 46 d are connected to the flat surface portion 46 a of the mounting member 46. A hook-and-loop fastener 46e is attached to the band 46c, and a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown) is attached to the band 46d on the surface facing the hook-and-loop fastener 46e. Thereby, the attachment member 46 is wound around the cushion material 20a.

Therefore, according to the tablet support of the third embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the user enters the space surrounded from the three directions and supports the seat-like cushion with the back or buttocks other than the hand. The tablet device can be supported at a predetermined height position with respect to the user. Moreover, since the user can arbitrarily change the angle of the movable tube with a small force, the part of the frame body to which the tablet-type device is attached can be arranged at an arbitrary position. In particular, since one direction of the space surrounded by the three directions can be released, it is possible to easily enter and retract the tablet support.

(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 19 is a perspective view for explaining a tablet support according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. FIG. 19A is a perspective view showing a state when not used, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating suitable features. This tablet support is characterized by a framework structure provided with a telescopic mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 19A, in this tablet support, the upper vertical frame 1, the upper horizontal frame 2b, and the upper vertical frame 2c are integrally formed by bending a single rod-shaped frame member, The lower vertical frame 3d, the lower horizontal frame 4 and the lower vertical frame 5 are integrally formed by bending a single rod-shaped frame member. Between the upper vertical frame 1 and the upper horizontal frame 2b, between the upper horizontal frame 2b and the upper vertical frame 2c, between the lower vertical frame 3d and the lower horizontal frame 4, and between the lower horizontal frame 4 and the lower vertical frame 5 , Both are bent at an angle of approximately 90 degrees.

In particular, the lower vertical frame 3d is formed in a hollow tubular shape. The inner diameter of the lower vertical frame 3d is shorter than the outer diameter of the upper vertical frame 2c, and the upper vertical frame 2c is formed to be slidable in the lower vertical frame 3d. In addition, the tablet support is provided with a lock lever 42 that locks the upper vertical frame 2c with respect to the lower vertical frame 3d. Therefore, the relative distance between the upper horizontal frame 2b and the lower horizontal frame 4 changes according to the exposed length of the upper vertical frame 2c with respect to the lower vertical frame 3d, and the tablet terminal attached to the upper horizontal frame 2b side. And the distance between users. Thereby, a tablet-type apparatus can be brought close to or away from a person. Accordingly, here, the lower vertical frame 3d and the upper vertical frame 2c constitute an expansion / contraction mechanism.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the entire upper vertical frame 2c is accommodated in the lower vertical frame 3c, the entire tablet support is in the most compact state. Therefore, it is advantageous when carrying and storing. Further, since the upper vertical frame 2c is only inserted through the lower vertical frame 3c, the upper vertical frame 2c may be rotated about the lower vertical frame 3c. In this case, since the upper horizontal frame 2b can be retracted from above the lower horizontal frame 4, it is possible to easily enter and retract the tablet support. Note that the cushion material does not have to be disposed in the upper vertical frame 2c as in the first embodiment.

A modification of the tablet support of Embodiment 4 will be described. FIG. 20 is a perspective view for explaining a tablet support of a modification of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, (A) is a perspective view showing a state when not used, and (B) is a state when not used.

As shown in FIG. 20A, the tablet support of this modified example is an upper vertical frame 1 (FIG. 19) formed integrally by bending one bar-shaped frame member of the above-described tablet support. The upper horizontal frame 2b (FIG. 19) and the upper vertical frame 2c are formed by the upper horizontal frame 2d and the upper vertical frame 2c. That is, a portion that is bent approximately 90 degrees by the upper vertical frame 1 (FIG. 19) and the upper horizontal frame 2b (FIG. 19) is a linear upper horizontal frame 2d. Other structures are the same as those of the tablet support of the fourth embodiment described above. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B, the upper vertical frame 2c is slidable in the lower vertical frame 3d in the case of this modification as well as the tablet support described above. . Moreover, since the attachment structure of the tablet-type apparatus 19 (refer FIG. 1 etc.) can be made the same as that of the tablet support tool of Embodiment 3, description is abbreviate | omitted.

Therefore, according to the tablet support of the fourth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the user enters the space surrounded from the three directions and supports the sheet-like cushion with the back or buttocks other than the hand. The tablet device can be supported at a predetermined height position with respect to the user. In addition, the user can arbitrarily change the relative distance between the upper horizontal frame 2b and the lower horizontal frame 4 with a small force, which is advantageous for the operation of entering and retracting the tablet support when carrying and storing. It is.

The tablet support of the fifth embodiment is characterized in that the full length vertical frame 3 (see FIG. 4 and the like) of the first embodiment is modified. Hereinafter, this characteristic point will be mainly described, and the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the first embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted.

That is, in the tablet support of the fifth embodiment, the upper vertical frame 1, the upper horizontal frame 2, the full length vertical frame 3f, the lower oblique frame 3g, the lower vertical frame 11, the lower horizontal frame 4a and the lower vertical frame 5 are 1 It is formed by bending a rod-like frame material of a book and bears a part of the framework. Between the upper vertical frame 1 and the upper horizontal frame 2, between the upper horizontal frame 2 and the full length vertical frame 3f, between the lower vertical frame 11 and the lower horizontal frame 4a, and between the lower horizontal frame 4a and the lower vertical frame 5 , Both are bent at an angle of approximately 90 degrees.

The lower diagonal frame 3g extends obliquely downward from the full length vertical frame 3f to the lower vertical frame 11 and is connected obliquely to the lower vertical frame 11. Therefore, compared with the tablet support of Embodiment 1, since the lower diagonal frame 3g is used, the total length of the skeleton can be shortened and the total weight can be reduced. Note that the full length vertical frame 3f and the lower oblique frame 3g are built in the longitudinal cushion 17 (see FIG. 1 and the like) described in the first embodiment.

Therefore, according to the tablet support of the fifth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the user enters the space surrounded from the three directions and supports the sheet-like cushion with the back or buttocks other than the hand. The tablet device can be supported at a predetermined height position with respect to the user. Further, since it is suitable for reducing the total weight, it is possible to increase the convenience of carrying the user.

(Embodiment 6)
FIG. 22 is a view showing a see-through state of the tablet support according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, in which (A) shows a front view and (B) shows a right side view. The tablet support of the sixth embodiment does not include the bands 23, 24, 25 (see FIG. 2 and the like) described in the first embodiment. That is, nothing is bridged between the vertical frame 6 for sheet attachment and the vertical frame 8 for sheet attachment, and between the lower vertical frame 5 and the joint portion 11.

Other configurations are the same as those of the tablet support of the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted. However, the sheet-like cushion 15 used in the tablet support of the sixth embodiment is preferably made of a material that is harder and has a higher repulsive force than the sheet-like cushion 15 used in the tablet support of the first embodiment.
