Waterproof case for portable device
First Claim
1. A portable device waterproof case comprising:
- an opening configured to receive a portable device including a device operation part being inserted therethrough in an inserting direction;
a case operation part provided on a first surface of the waterproof case that is substantially perpendicular to the inserting direction and configured to operatively cooperate with the device operation part of the portable device when the case operation part and the device operation part are engaged with each other;
a moving and holding device configured to move the portable device to a moved position in a direction substantially perpendicular to the inserting direction and to hold the portable device at the moved position so as to cause the case operation part of the case and the device operation part of the portable device to be engaged with each other, the moving and holding device including;
a push-up member configured to push up the portable device through a through hole provided on a second surface of the waterproof case that substantially faces the first surface and to engage with the through hole to generate engagement force, the engagement force allowing the moving and holding device to hold the portable device at the moved position and allowing the waterproof case to be watertight;
a support shaft configured to connect the push-up member with the second surface of the waterproof case so as to cause the push-up member to rotate around the support shaft; and
a fixing device provided on the second surface of the waterproof case and configured to fix the push-up member at a pushed-up position of the push-up member.

Abstract
A waterproof case for containing a portable device including at least one operation part offset in a direction perpendicular to an inserting direction of the portable device into the case body of the waterproof case, includes at least one operation part that operatively cooperates with the at least one operation part of the portable device, and a moving and holding device that moves the portable device in a direction perpendicular to the inserting direction of the portable device after the portable device is inserted into the case body and that holds the portable device in a moved position so as to operatively cooperate the at least one operation part of the portable device with the at least one operation part of the case body.

9. A portable device waterproof case comprising:
-
an opening configured to receive a portable device including a device operation part being inserted therethrough in an inserting direction; a case operating means provided on a first surface of the waterproof case that is substantially perpendicular to the insertion direction and configured to operatively cooperate with the device operation part of the portable device when the case operation means and the device operation part are engaged with each other; a moving and holding means for moving the portable device to a moved position in a direction substantially perpendicular to the inserting direction and to hold the portable device at the moved position to cause the case operating means of the case and the device operation part of the portable device to be engaged with each other, the moving and holding means including; a push-up means configured to push up the portable device through a through hole provided on a second surface of the waterproof case that substantially faces the first surface and to engage with the through hole to generate engagement force, the engagement force allowing the moving and holding means to hold the portable device at the moved position and allowing the waterproof case to be watertight; a supporting means connecting the push-up means with the second surface of the waterproof case for causing the push-up means to rotate around the supporting means; and a fixing means provided on the second surface of the waterproof case for fixing the push-up means at a pushed-up position of the push-up means.
