Abstract

The present invention is to provide a holder for clamping and wirelessly triggering a mobile terminal device, which includes a fixed portion, a slidable portion having one end movably inserted in the fixed portion such that a clamping space is formed therebetween and serves to receive the mobile terminal device clamped therein, an elastic portion mounted in the fixed portion and corresponding to the slidable portion so as to apply a force to the slidable portion for adjusting the clamping space, and a controller having one side movably mounted to the fixed portion and a button provided on the top side thereof. When wireless connection is established between the controller and the mobile terminal device, a press on the button causes the controller to generate a control signal, send the control signal to the mobile terminal device, and thereby trigger the mobile terminal device to perform a corresponding procedure.

Claims

1. A holder for clamping and wirelessly triggering a mobile terminal device, comprising:

a fixed portion formed with a vertically extending extension base, the extension base having a bottom edge formed with a forwardly extending first clamping portion, the extension base and the first clamping portion being connected together as a single unit;

a slidable portion formed with a vertically extending extension plate, the extension plate having a top edge formed with a forwardly extending second clamping portion, the extension plate and the second clamping portion being connected together as a single unit, the extension plate having a bottom end movably inserted in the extension base such that the extension plate is slidable upward and downward with respect to the extension base, the second clamping portion corresponding to the first clamping portion such that a clamping space in which a mobile terminal device can be clamped is formed between the second clamping portion and the first clamping portion;

an elastic portion comprising a mounting base and an elastic restoring member, the mounting base being mounted in the fixed portion and corresponding to the bottom edge of the extension base, the elastic restoring member having an end connected to the mounting base and another end connected to the extension plate at a position adjacent to the bottom end of the extension plate, wherein when a force is applied to the slidable portion and thereby displaces the slidable portion away from the fixed portion, the clamping space between the second clamping portion and the first clamping portion expands, and once the force is removed, the elastic restoring member generates a restoring force acting on the extension plate and thereby forcing the slidable portion toward the fixed portion; and

a controller having a side movably mounted to a rear side of the extension base, the controller having a top side provided with a button, wherein when wireless connection between the controller and the mobile terminal device is established, pressing the button causes the controller to generate a control signal and send the control signal to the mobile terminal device, thereby triggering the mobile terminal device to perform a corresponding procedure.

2. The holder of claim 1, wherein the extension base has a top edge concavely provided with a groove extending through the extension base, and the bottom end of the extension plate is movably inserted in the groove such that the extension plate is slidable upward and downward along the groove.

3. The holder of claim 2, wherein the fixed portion has a rear side protrudingly provided with at least one rail extending vertically downward from the top edge of the extension base.

4. The holder of claim 3, wherein the side of the controller is provided with at least one rail groove, and the rail is received in the rail groove such that the controller is mounted to the rear side of the extension base.

5. The holder of claim 4, wherein the second clamping portion has a rear side protrudingly provided with at least one engaging block corresponding to and having a same cross-sectional configuration as the rail, and the engaging block and the rail are sequentially received in the rail groove such that the controller is mounted to the rear side of the extension base and the rear side of the second clamping portion, wherein when the extension plate is fully inserted in the groove, a bottom edge of the second clamping portion is pressed against the top edge of the extension base, and a bottom edge of the engaging block is pressed against a top edge of the rail.

6. The holder of claim 5, wherein when the slidable portion is displaced away from the fixed portion, the controller is driven by the engaging block into simultaneous displacement away from the bottom edge of the extension base.

7. The holder of claim 6, wherein the bottom edge of the extension base extends rearward to form a supporting portion, and the extension base and the supporting portion are connected together as a single unit.

8. The holder of claim 7, wherein when the extension plate is fully inserted in the groove, a bottom side of the controller is pressed against a top side of the supporting portion.

9. The holder of claim 5, wherein the first clamping portion has a top side upwardly protrudingly provided with a first positioning block adjacent to a front of the first clamping portion.

10. The holder of claim 6, wherein the first clamping portion has a top side upwardly protrudingly provided with a first positioning block adjacent to a front of the first clamping portion.

11. The holder of claim 7, wherein the first clamping portion has a top side upwardly protrudingly provided with a first positioning block adjacent to a front of the first clamping portion.

12. The holder of claim 8, wherein the first clamping portion has a top side upwardly protrudingly provided with a first positioning block adjacent to a front of the first clamping portion.

13. The holder of claim 9, wherein the second clamping portion has a bottom side downwardly protrudingly provided with a second positioning block adjacent to a front of the second clamping portion.

14. The holder of claim 10, wherein the second clamping portion has a bottom side downwardly protrudingly provided with a second positioning block adjacent to a front of the second clamping portion.

15. The holder of claim 11, wherein the second clamping portion has a bottom side downwardly protrudingly provided with a second positioning block adjacent to a front of the second clamping portion.

16. The holder of claim 12, wherein the second clamping portion has a bottom side downwardly protrudingly provided with a second positioning block adjacent to a front of the second clamping portion.
