Mobile Phone Patent Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a holder, and more particularly
to a mobile phone holder which uses two plates with an adjusting
means connected therebetween to fit all sizes of mobile phones.
Furthermore, a first end of a conductor is securely connected with
one of the plates and a second end of the conductor is securely
connected with an ear plug, such that a user is able to clearly
hear whatever a caller says through the conductor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Mobile phones bring lots of convenience to users whenever and wherever
a phone is needed. Yet, a mobile phone also brings much danger to
users especially when they are driving along in busy traffic, because
a user needs to use a hand to hold the mobile phone and subsequently
only one hand remains to drive the car.
To prevent such accidents from happening, many types of mobile
phone holders are introduced. Among them, a mobile phone holder
is shown in FIG. 6. The mobile phone holder is designed to have
a seat 60 having an ear set 61, a leg 62 integrally formed with
the seat 60 and a clamp 63 movably mounted on the leg 62, a first
electric wire 80 having an electric connector 81 securely connected
with the wire 80 and a speaker 70 connected with the seat 60 through
a second wire (not numbered).
FIG. 7 shows a mobile phone 90 is received within the seat 60,
and the clamp 63 is adjacent to the speaking portion (not shown
or numbered) of the holder and the ear set 61 is adjacent to the
hearing portion (not numbered or shown) of the holder, such that
a user is able to hear whatever a caller says from the speaker 70
through the ear set 61. Therefore, the user will no longer have
to hold the mobile phone and driving a car simultaneously, which
indeed reduces danger greatly while holding a phone in one hand.
Though, this kind of mobile phone holder is convenient and handy,
it still suffers several disadvantages, such as:
1. Electro-magnetic wave interference:
many electric devices, such as a radio, generate electro-magnetic
waves which interferes with a mobile phone when the strength and
the frequency is close or even the same with each other, such that
a user will have trouble listening clearly to what a caller says
from the other end of the phone.
2. Electricity consumption:
A mobile phone holder of this kind uses electricity of a car, which
increases the electricity consumption of the car. Consequently,
the life span of a battery of the car will shorten dramatically
if the load of the battery is too much.
3. Too much noise in the background:
No matter whether a user of this kind of mobile phone holder is
a caller or a receiver, whenever he/she talks through the speaker
70 to the other end of the phone, a receiver of this voice signal
still has trouble listening clearly to what is sent through the
speaker 70, because there is too much noise, such as the car engine
sound, radio sound, etc., in the background to interfere with the
transmission of the voice signal.
From the previous description, it is noted that especially when
using a mobile phone holder in a car, a general holder will no longer
meet the requirement.
Thus, a mobile phone holder constructed in accordance with the
present invention tends to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned
problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the invention is to provide a mobile phone
holder having an adjusting means mounted thereon such that the holder
will be able to fit all sizes of mobile phones. Furthermore, the
holder does not need any power to make conversation with the other
end of the communication.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a mobile phone
holder using a resilient connector instead of a wire to transmit
a voice signal, thus the holder will have no trouble with interference.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will
become more apparent from the following detailed description when
taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to FIG. 1, a mobile phone holder constructed in accordance
with the present invention comprises a clamping member 10 having
a first plate 11 and a second plate 15. The first and second plates
are each "L" shaped with a flat base and a perpendicular
side extending upwardly therefrom. Each flat base defines a long
slot (respectively 111 and 151) extending substantially along the
length thereof. This first and second plates 11, 15 are combined
so that the perpendicular sides are opposite to each other and one
flat base is on top of the other, so that the long slots (111, 151)
are aligned. The screw 21 (as shown in FIG. 2) preferably extends
downward through the aligned slots 111, 151 to threadingly engage
with the nut 22 (as shown in FIG. 2). Once an appropriate distance,
i,e, a width of a mobile phone is reached between the "L"
shaped first plate 11 and the second plate 15, the screw 21 and
the nut 22 are tightened. A sound transmitting member 30 is mounted
on the second plate 15 and having a sound resistent material 31
provided on an inner face of the second plate 15. A hollow connector
33 is securely extending through a hole (not shown) on the second
plate 15. A conductor 34 has a first end and a second end wherein,
the first end (not numbered) is securely connected with the connector
33 and the second end is securely connected with an ear plug 35.
It is noted that a strip of adhesive slime 40 is securely provided
on an inner face (not numbered) of the first plate 11 and a block
of adhesive slime 41 is movably provided on the connector 34, so
a user of the holder of the invention is able to use whether the
strip of adhesive slime 40 or the block of adhesive slime 41 to
stick to a face of a mobile phone (not shown) or any other place
which is necessary.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the retaining member 20 and the sound
transmitting member 30 are shown. The retaining member 20 comprises
a screw 21 and a nut 22. As described earlier, when an appropriate
distance between the first plate 11 and the second plate 15 is completed,
a user only has to firstly insert the screw 21 into the long slots
111 and 151 of the respective first plate 11 and the second plate
15, then secure the first plate 11 with the second plate 15 with
the nut 22, thus a suitable distance between the first plate 11
and the second plate 15 is obtained for receiving a mobile phone.
Although, the accompanying drawings show that the retaining member
20 comprises a screw 21 and a nut 22, it is appreciated that such
drawings are illustrative only and not intended to limit the present
invention.
The sound transmitting member 30 is composed of the sound resistent
material 31 securely mounted on the inner face of the second plate
15, the hollow connector 33 securely connected with the second plate
15 and aligned with the hole 152 provided on the second plate 15,
the conductor 34 fixedly connected with the hollow connector 33,
therefore, an inner channel provided within the connector 33 is
able to communicate with the conductor 34.
FIG. 4 shows a mobile phone 90 is received within the holder of
the present invention and a transmitting portion 91 of the mobile
phone 90 is securely connected with the sound resistent material
31 and aligned with the hole 152 of the second plate 15, such that
sound transmitted from the transmitting portion 91 of the mobile
phone 90 is transmitted into the conductor 34 and the user is able
to clearly hear it through the ear plug 35 (as shown in FIG. 1).
Referring to FIG. 5, another embodiment of the present invention
is shown. The embodiment shows that a length of the first plate
11' is much larger than the first plate 11 of the first embodiment
and further comprises a side plate 17 integrally and perpendicularly
formed with the first plate 11', and having a second slot 16 provided
therein. A substantially "L" shaped adjusting seat 20'
has a third slot 211' provided in a plate 21' which is parallel
to the side plate 17 but perpendicular to the first plate 11', thus,
a height adjusting member (not numbered) is provided within the
second slot 16 and the third slot 211' for securing the mobile phone
(as shown in FIG. 4) when the second slot 16 of the side plate 17
coincides with the third slot 211' of the plate 21'.
From the foregoing, it is seen that the objects hereinbefore set
forth may readily and efficiently be attained, and since certain
changes may be made in the above construction and different embodiments
of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is
intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown
in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative
and not in a limiting sense. |
