Abstract

A handheld singing apparatus, capable of being cooperated with a handheld electronic device having a screen for operation, includes a holding member, a supporting seat and a connecting portion. The holding member is approximately formed as rod shaped and has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The supporting seat is capable of receiving and fastening with the handheld electronic device, so that the screen is faced to a direction far from the holding member. The connecting portion is connected between the first end of the holding member and the supporting seat, so that the supporting seat is rotatable relative to the holding member.

2. The handheld singing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the holding member is extended from the first end toward the second end along one direction far from the screen.

3. The handheld singing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the bottom is hollow and has a cavity, and the bottom wall has an opening disposed at the side thereof, a bottom of one of the two sidewalls is bent and extended to form a connecting wall, and the connecting wall passes though the opening, the bottom wall further comprises at least one elastic body connected between an inner wall of the cavity and the connecting wall.

4. The handheld singing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a center of the bottom wall is recessed inward to form a positioning groove for receiving the elastic member.

5. The handheld singing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the abutting plate has a positioning rod extended from a center thereof, the elastic member is a spring, the spring is winding on a periphery of the positioning rod and disposed in the positioning groove along with the positioning rod.

6. The handheld singing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the handheld electronic device is buckled between the two sidewalls.

7. The handheld singing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the supporting seat further comprises an audio receiving member, disposed at one side of one sidewall far from the other sidewall.

8. The handheld singing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the audio receiving member is approximately formed as a cuboid, and an area of one face contacted to one sidewall is approximately equal to another area of the sidewall.

9. The handheld singing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the holding member is hollowed and has a receiving space, the holding member further comprises:

a signal processing circuit, disposed in the receiving space and connected electrically to the audio receiving member for receiving a first audio signal outputted from the audio receiving member, and the first audio signal being signally processed by the signal processing circuit for outputting; and

an audio cable, comprising;

a connecting wire, one end thereof being connected to the signal processing circuit to accept the first audio signal outputted from the signal processing circuit and passing through the holding member; and
