Abstract

A clamping device for electronic products includes a combining member and a clamping base that is made of elastic steel sheet having its outer periphery coated with a layer of soft rubber and its central portion bored with a combining hole. Thus, after the clamping base is combined with an electronic product by the combining member, the electronic product can be hung on a user'"'"'s girdle by turning over the elastic steel sheet of the clamping base, and an earphone line can be wound on the steel sheet in a space between the clamping base and the electronic product, having great practicability and convenience in use.

Claims

1. A clamping device for electronic products comprising:

a clamping base comprising an elastic sheet defining an upper foot and a lower foot; and

a combining member disposed on said elastic sheet between said upper foot and said lower foot, the combining member being configured for combining and positioning an electronic product on one side of said elastic sheet;

wherein said sheet is flexible between a first position wherein said elastic sheet is concave toward said electronic product and a second position wherein said elastic sheet is concave away from said electronic product;

such that when said elastic sheet is in said first position, said elastic sheet is configured to clamp a user'"'"'s belt between said elastic sheet and the electronic product, and when said elastic sheet is in said second position, said upper and lower feet extend away from the electronic product to form a stand.

2. The clamping device for electronic products as claimed in claim 1, wherein said elastic sheet is an elastic steel sheet having its outer surface covered with soft material for increasing its soft tactile impression.

3. The clamping device for electronic products as claimed in claim 1, wherein said clamping base is provided thereon with non-slip projections to enable said clamping base to be closely fixed on a user'"'"'s belt.

4. The clamping device for electronic products as claimed in claim 1, wherein said combining member is composed of a combining base and a positioning element for combining said electronic product and said clamping base together.

5. The clamping device for electronic products as claimed in claim 1, wherein an earphone line wound on said combining base is positioned stably between said clamping base and said electronic product and clamped in position by said elastic sheet.

6. The clamping device for electronic products as claimed in claim 1, wherein said upper foot and said lower foot are unequal in length so as to form an elevation angle when said clamping base is placed on a table top, facilitating a user to see and enjoy movies on screen of said electronic product.
