Finger-controlled 360° recording mobile phone rotary handheld device

A rotary hand-held device for mobile phone (smartphone) equipped with camera and a video-recording screen, or portable camera controlled by rotating the pivot directly by one or several fingers, the device comprising:

• a holding frame used to hold the mobile phone so that its screen is positioned parallel with or nearly parallel with the user's direction, the holding frame may be in clamping shape to clamp to the sides or the upper and lower edges of the mobile phone, or in symmetrical or asymmetrical shape to clamp to the front and back surfaces of the mobile phone, or the holding frame may be of planar or vertical shape with the vertical bar or vertical planes of the holding frame having a sticking or magnetic element or cupped cover so that the mobile phone can be tightly attached to the holding frame;
• a circular cylindrical spindle (hereinafter referred to as the pivot) is connected to the mobile phone holding frame in the lower and middle position of the holding frame and on the pivot there is at least one short segment serving as the center of the pivot, and on the pivot there is at least one open segment where the finger can be contacted by brushing or by directly rotating the pivot right at the open segment, such segment should have raised ridges to increase friction with finger;
• and
• a holding frame of the pivot, on this holding frame there should be at least one bearing to retain the shaft of the pivot so that it can rotate freely in this bearing, in addition, this holding frame of the pivot should have an opening or be shorter in length in comparison with the pivot so that the pivot have exposed segment where users' fingers can contact, transferring forces to create rotary motion for the pivot, the holding frame of the pivot may also serve as the handle of the device.

A rotary hand-held device for mobile phone (smartphone) equipped with camera and a video-recording screen, or portable camera controlled by moving the index finger in vertical motion, the device comprising:

• a holding frame used to hold the mobile phone so that its screen is positioned parallel with or nearly parallel with the user's direction, the holding frame may be in clamping shape to clamp to the sides or the upper and lower edges of the mobile phone, or in symmetrical or asymmetrical shape to clamp to the front and back surfaces of the mobile phone, or the holding frame may be of planar or vertical shape with the vertical bar or vertical planes of the holding frame having a sticking or magnetic element or cupped cover so that the mobile phone can be tightly attached to the holding frame;
• a circular cylindrical pivot is connected to the mobile phone holding frame at the bottom and in the middle of the frame, and on the pivot there should be at least one short segment serving as the center of the pivot, a circular cylindrical gear is attached to the pivot and coaxial to it;
• a bar in polygonal or cylindrical shape with coaxial teeth located on the outer surface, which engages the teeth of the gears of the pivot, one end of the polygonal or cylindrical bar is connected to a closed or open ring where the index finger may be put in;
• and
• a holding frame of the pivot, on which there should be at least one bearing to hold the center of the pivot, and a pipe with a cross-section similar to that of the polygonal-shaped bar or a similar cross-section with those of cylindrical rod with coaxial teeth located on the outside surface, the pipe allows the polygonal-shaped bar or cylindrical-shaped rod to slide back and forth in the hollow tube and the frame may also serve as the handle of the device.

A rotary hand-held device for mobile phone (smartphone) equipped with camera and a video-recording screen, or portable camera controlled by moving the finger in a curve arc, the device comprising:

• a holding frame used to hold the mobile phone so that its screen is positioned parallel with or nearly parallel with the user's direction, the holding frame may be in clamping shape to clamp to the sides or the upper and lower edges of the mobile phone, or in symmetrical or asymmetrical shape to clamp to the front and back surfaces of the mobile phone, or the holding frame may be of planar or vertical shape with the vertical bar or vertical planes of the holding frame having a sticking or magnetic element or cupped cover so that the mobile phone can be tightly attached to the holding frame;
• a circular cylindrical pivot is connected to the mobile phone holding frame at the bottom and in the middle of the frame, and on the pivot there should be at least one short segment serving as the center of the pivot, a cone or blunted cone gear is attached to the pivot and coaxial to it;
• a fan-shaped plate with teeth located on the perimeter, at the center of the sector there is a level perpendicular to the plane of the fan-shaped plate;
• other end of the sector is connected to a lever, and this end of the lever is a closed or open ring to put the index finger in;
• and
• a holding frame of pivot, on which there should at least one bearing to retain the level of the pivot and one to hold the level of the fan-shaped plate so that such plate can engage with cone or blunted cone gear and enables this plate to rotate, the holding frame of pivot may also serve as the handle of the device.

A rotary hand-held device for mobile phone (smartphone) equipped with camera and a video-recording screen, or portable camera controlled by moving the thumb up and down in a straight line, the device comprising:

• a holding frame used to hold the mobile phone so that its screen is positioned parallel with or nearly parallel with the user's direction, the holding frame may be in clamping shape to clamp to the sides or the upper and lower edges of the mobile phone, or in symmetrical or asymmetrical shape to clamp to the front and back surfaces of the mobile phone, or the holding frame may be of planar or vertical shape with the vertical bar or vertical planes of the holding frame having a sticking or magnetic element or cupped cover so that the mobile phone can be tightly attached to the holding frame;
• a circular cylindrical pivot is connected to the mobile phone holding frame at the bottom and in the middle of the frame, and on the pivot there should be at least one short segment serving as the center of the pivot, a drilling bit-shaped screw axle gear is attached to the pivot and coaxial to it;
• a sliding block with a hole of which cross-section is similar to that of the drill bit-shaped screw axle and is connected to a closed or open ring to put the thumb in, and this block can run up and down along the length of the drill bit-shaped screw axle;
• and
• a holding frame of the pivot on which there should be at least one bearing to hold the level of the pivot, and such frame can serve as the handle of the device.
