Definitions

  • the invention relates to a case for an electronic device, in particular a mobile phone or a handheld computer, with a metal receptacle into which the device can be inserted, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • So-called cell phone cases made of plastic are widespread. These can be used for additional protection of the mobile radio device and also for the visual design and individualization of the device. Such covers made of plastic are susceptible to wear and aging, depending on the plastic material used. In addition, cases made of plastic are often perceived as a reduction in the perceived value of the sometimes high-priced mobile phones.
  • a lockable container for portable radio-enabled devices continues from the DE 20 2014 008 506 U1 emerged.
  • a sleeve made of metal is also provided, which is provided with a closure device for closing the device in the sleeve.
  • the US 2012/0302294 A1 describes a housing for a mobile radio device, a lighting device being installed in a shell-shaped lower part.
  • the device is held in the shell by means of a frame-like flange.
  • a case for a mobile radio device having an inner frame with dampers for holding the mobile radio device and an outer frame which receives the inner frame in a non-positive manner.
  • a back plate can be inserted into the inner frame.
  • the US 2010/0203931 A1 discloses a cover for a mobile radio device, an outer cover made of hard plastic being provided in which an inner cover made of an elastomer is introduced.
  • a generic cover for a mobile phone is from the FR 2 968 900 A1 known. This has a metal plate which is inserted into a plastic frame.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a case for an electronic device which is compact and can be manufactured efficiently.
  • a base element made of metal is provided and that a retaining lip made of an elastic material is arranged along an edge of the receiving shell.
  • a basic idea of the invention can be seen in forming a receiving tray in which the device is to be inserted appropriately according to the shape of the electronic device, a retaining lip being arranged along an edge of a base element of the receiving tray.
  • the device is held positively or non-positively in the holding shell by the holding lip made of an elastic material.
  • the retaining lip can protrude inwards into the region of the receiving shell, the device being held detachably in the receiving shell.
  • the retaining lip is arranged and dimensioned overall in such a way that a device can be used in a simple manner by deforming the retaining lip.
  • the electronic device is, so to speak, clipped into the cradle and held by the retaining lip. In a corresponding manner, the electronic device can then be pushed out of the receiving shell and released again.
  • the case according to the invention is particularly suitable for mobile telephones, in particular smartphones, and handheld computers, in particular so-called tablet computers.
  • the case can also be designed and used for other electronic devices.
  • the base element is shaped as an essentially flat plate and that the retaining lip forms a side wall area of the receiving shell.
  • the base element can preferably be a flat metal sheet, the dimensions of which essentially correspond to a base area of the device to be accommodated.
  • a retaining lip is attached to one edge of the plate-shaped base element, which lip extends essentially in accordance with the height or the thickness of the device.
  • the metallic base element achieves a high level of stability, while the surrounding retaining lip, in particular made of a plastic or rubber material, ensures that the device is held in a reliable and shock-proof manner.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention consists in that the base element is formed from a metal sheet which has a sheet thickness of 0.2 mm to 2 mm, preferably of 0.5 mm to 1 mm.
  • the metal can be a sheet steel, aluminum or some other suitable metal or metal alloy.
  • a metal sheet is preferably selected which is sufficiently stable with the smallest possible sheet metal thickness and does not, or only insignificantly, influence the transmission and reception power of the device.
  • a basic element can be formed from the sheet metal by deep drawing and can be work hardened in the process. Deep drawing can be carried out as ironing deep drawing, with an initial wall thickness being reduced even further. Depending on the degree of deformation, a targeted solidification of the material structure can be set, so that the use of material is reduced even further. A particularly good protective function of the cover is achieved in that it is largely or completely closed along its rear side and its side surfaces. A top side is left free so that a control panel, in particular a so-called touch screen, is freely accessible is.
  • the recesses are preferably made in the area of buttons, cameras, microphones, loudspeaker openings, the brand or type designation of the device or at other locations necessary for the function in the receptacle.
  • the introduction can take place by means of a punching or cutting process or material-removing by milling, drilling or in any other suitable manner.
  • the metal in particular when using aluminum or an aluminum alloy, can be used without any surface treatment. This may even be preferred for a wanted technical impression.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the invention can be seen in the fact that at least one outer side of the metallic base element is surface-treated, in particular shot-peened, sand-blasted, brushed, coated, chrome-plated or painted. In this way, a particularly noble and individual impression of the receiving shell can be created.
  • the surface treatment can also be provided on the entire surface, that is to say also on the inside of the receiving shell. With a corresponding surface treatment, the appearance of value of the case and thus of a device inserted in it can be maintained or even increased.
  • a housing made of a metal is viewed as particularly stable and valuable.
  • the surface treatment and surface processing can also be used to apply a pattern, lettering, characters, labels, etc. This can be done for example by means of a laser, which is particularly useful when processing anodized aluminum material.
  • the laser can remove the matt anodized surface layer and create shiny metal areas in a targeted manner.
  • the retaining lip is arranged in areas or along the entire edge of the base element.
  • the retaining lip can be arranged only in corner areas or at certain points of the base element.
  • the retaining lip can be formed from any suitable material which enables the electronic device to be reliably held in the receiving shell.
  • the retaining lip forms an undercut on the receiving shell.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention consists in that in the retaining lip, which forms a wall area of the receiving shell, recesses for Functional areas are provided.
  • the functional areas can in particular be line connections, for example for a charging cable, and for adjustment buttons, for example for switching on and off or for volume regulation.
  • the retaining lip is formed from an elastic material, in particular a rubber material.
  • the rubber material can be arranged not only on the edge of the receiving shell but also in corner areas or other locations on the outside as an additional impact protection and / or also on certain areas of the inside. An arrangement along the inside can contribute to a certain frictional retention and a cushioning mounting of the device in the receiving shell.
  • a particularly good fixation of the device with a further good releasability from the receiving shell can be achieved according to an embodiment variant of the invention in that the retaining lip protrudes inward between 0.5 mm and 4 mm. Depending on the device size, different dimensions can also be provided.
  • the retaining lip protrudes axially with respect to the device inserted in the receiving shell. This makes it possible, for example, to place the receiving tray with a touchscreen facing down on a surface without contacting the exposed side of the device. This also protects the device and ensures good functionality.
  • a particularly efficient attachment of the retaining lip is achieved according to the invention in that the retaining lip is molded onto the edge, namely is cast on or extruded onto it.
  • the retaining lip is formed from a plastic material, which is preferably a thermoplastic. This is poured or extruded onto the edge in a softened, in particular melted, state. When the retaining lip cools and solidifies, a firm connection to the receiving shell is created.
  • the receiving tray has an additional holding area which is designed for receiving small objects, preferably money or cards.
  • a mobile phone for example, can take on the function of a wallet.
  • the holding area can in particular be provided in the form of a slot with one or more slots or formations for receiving banknotes and cards, such as payment or credit cards.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment variant consists in that the holding area has a pocket-shaped receptacle.
  • a receiving area can be provided between the receiving shell and the device used. An insertion of money can be done either through a slot or by loosening and reinserting the device in the receiving tray.
  • the holding area has a holding element, preferably a clamp or a magnetic element.
  • a holding element preferably a clamp
  • banknotes or payment cards can be clamped or clipped in place.
  • the holding element can be a magnetic element. This means that the holding element is designed to be magnetic, at least in some areas. In this way, narrow objects, such as money or payment cards, can be clamped magnetically between the metallic receiving shell and the holding element.
  • a casing 10 not according to the invention according to FIG Fig. 1 has a metallic base element 11, which is deep-drawn from sheet metal and shaped into a receiving shell 12.
  • the receiving shell 12 comprises a plate-shaped bottom area 14, to which side wall areas 16 are connected all the way around.
  • the receiving shell 12 is designed overall so that a mobile phone (not shown) can be suitably received therein.
  • Recesses 18a for connections are made in a lower side wall region 16.
  • Elongated recesses 18b for buttons or switches are formed in the lateral side wall areas 16.
  • a recess 18c for a camera lens is made in an upper corner area and a recess 18d for a brand emblem on the back of the cell phone to be used is made in a central area.
  • the rear recess 18d serves as an engaging hole for pushing the inserted device out of the receiving tray 12 from behind.
  • a marginal edge 20 on the metallic receiving shell 12 can be thickened and / or rounded by a certain upsetting.
  • a frame-like, circumferential retaining lip 30 is attached to the marginal edge 20.
  • the retaining lip 30 can be pushed on and glued on. It is also possible to cast on or extrude the retaining lip 30 made of a flexible plastic material directly onto the edge 20.
  • the retaining lip 30 is approximately T-shaped or angular, with a lip-like area protruding further inward. This area forms an undercut and rests positively and / or non-positively on an inserted electronic device and holds it reliably in the receiving shell 12.
  • the retaining lip 30 is designed so that the electronic device can be opened by a slight pressure on the The rear side, for example through the recess 18d, can be removed from the receiving shell 12 again.
  • a metallic base element 11 is designed as a substantially rectangular plate. Openings 13 for improved connection of a retaining lip 30 made of a soft elastic material are provided along an edge 20 of the plate-shaped base element 11.
  • the retaining lip 30 forms a side wall area 16, so that a receiving tray 12 for a device 5, in particular a mobile phone, is formed by the metallic base element 11, which forms a base plate 14, and the retaining lip 30 attached around it.
  • the holding lip 30 is correspondingly contoured on its inside for receiving the device 5, an elastic undercut being formed as a result.
  • the retaining lip 30 is preferably molded onto the metallic base plate 14 in an injection molding process.
  • Corresponding recesses 18 a for functional elements of the device 5 are provided in the retaining lip 30.
