Abstract
The present invention discloses a mobile device positioning structure including, a central magnetic portion on a mounting surface of a fixture for magnetically positioning the back of a mobile device and a ring-shaped magnetic portion formed by two curved clamp arms which are bilaterally symmetrical to each other, and separated and unfolded from each other. After the two curved clamp arms are unfolded relative to the mounting surface, the back of the mobile device is magnetically positioned by the central magnetic portion, and both sides of the mobile device are elastically abutted, clamped and positioned by the two curved clamp arms.
Claims5
A mobile device positioning structure, comprising:
- a mounting surface defined on a fixture and provided for stacking on a back of an external mobile device, and
- an underside defined on a surface opposite to the mounting surface and provided for coupling to an external stand,
- characterized in that:
- the mounting surface has a ring-shaped magnetic portion for magnetically attracting the back of the external mobile device, and opposite sides of the mounting surface each have a sliding arm elastically installed thereon, the sliding arms movable with respect to each other, and the ring-shaped magnetic portion is formed by two curved clamp arms bilaterally symmetrical and separated from each other, and each of the two curved clamp arms has a magnetic topside and an abutting underside, and the two abutting undersides are stackable on the mounting surface, and each of the two sliding arms on opposite sides of the mounting surface has a hinge portion, so that the two curved clamp arms are pivotally rotated from the respective hinge portions, the two curved clamp arms are unfolded relative to the mounting surface, the sliding arms driving the two curved clamp arms to elastically stretch and contract, and the abutting undersides of the two curved clamp arms are configured to elastically clamped and position the mobile device;
- wherein the fixture has a guide groove formed therein and communicating with opposite sides of the mounting surface, and the two sliding arms are slidably installed in the guide groove, and the underside of the fixture has a socket connectable to the external stand;
- wherein each of the two hinge portions comprise a first pivot and a second pivot pivotally coupled to each other, and each end of the two sliding arms has the first pivot and a rack, and each of the two curved clamp arms has the second pivot, and the racks of the two sliding arms are guided and transmitted with each other by a gear and a swing member, and at least one spring is installed between the two sliding arms for driving the two sliding arms to stretch and contract relative to each other;
- and
- wherein each of the second pivots of the two curved clamp arms has a protrusion, and each of the first pivots of the two sliding arms has a first positioning slot and a second positioning slot, and the two first positioning slots are provided for embedding the corresponding protrusions to position the two abutting undersides at the stacked positions on the mounting surface, and the two second positioning slots are provided for embedding the corresponding protrusions to position the two curved clamp arms at the unfolded positions relative to the mounting surface respectively.
