Abstract

A tablet computer includes a mobile phone mounting portion which has determined width and length and is formed in the rear of the tablet computer in a recessed manner, guide grooves which are longitudinally formed on both lateral walls of the mounting portion, and a separation prevention member which is fixedly inserted into the guide grooves and has width and length corresponding to those of the mounting portion. The separation prevention member includes wing fixing portions which are fixedly inserted into the guide grooves of the lateral walls, determined width of wings which are extended upwards from the wing fixing portions and formed to bend toward the center of the mounting portion, respectively, and a determined width of cover which is provided in the range between one end of the separation prevention member and the wings.

Claims

1. A tablet computer comprising:

a mobile phone mounting portion which has predetermined width and length, and is formed, in the rear of the tablet computer in a recessed manner, by three walls including two lateral walls and an inner wall connecting the two lateral walls on an inner side so that when a mobile phone is mounted on the mobile mounting portion, a display portion and manipulation portion of the mobile phone are exposed and the mobile phone can be slidably mounted thereon;

guide grooves which are formed in predetermined positions of the two lateral walls of the mobile phone mounting portion in a longitudinal direction in a recessed manner along lengths of the two lateral walls; and

a separation prevention member which is fixedly inserted into the guide grooves and has a width and length corresponding to those of the mobile phone mounting portion,

wherein the separation prevention member comprises;

wing fixing portions which protrude outwardly to be fixedly inserted into the guide grooves of the two lateral walls, respectively;

wing portions having a predetermined width which are respectively extended to the wing fixing portions in an upward direction, and are bent toward the center of the mobile phone mounting portion, thereby partially covering upper surfaces of the two lateral sides of the mobile phone in a longitudinal direction; and

a cover portion having a predetermined width which interconnects the wing portions of the two lateral sides at an end portion of the separation prevention member and partially covers upper surfaces of the lower portion of the mobile phone.

2. The tablet computer according to claim 1, wherein the tablet computer further comprises a port which is formed in the inner end wall of the mobile phone mounting portion to allow data communication to be performed between a mobile phone and the mobile phone mounting portion, when the mobile phone is mounted on the mobile phone mounting portion.

3. The tablet computer according to claim 2, wherein the mobile phone mounted on the mobile phone mounting portion is supplied with electrical energy from the tablet computer through the port.

4. The tablet computer according to claim 3, wherein the tablet computer has at least one foldable line.

5. The tablet computer according to claim 2, wherein the tablet computer has at least one foldable line.

6. The tablet computer according to claim 1, wherein the separation prevention member further comprises wing supports which are disposed between the wing fixing portions and the wings, and are formed to be extended from the wing fixing portions in an upward direction.

7. The tablet computer according to claim 6, wherein the tablet computer has at least one foldable line.

8. The tablet computer according to claim 1, wherein the separation prevention member further comprises a spacer which is disposed between one of the wing fixing portions and the wing, and is formed to be extended from the one of the wing fixing portions toward the center of the mobile phone mounting portion.

9. The tablet computer according to claim 8, wherein the tablet computer has at least one foldable line.

10. The tablet computer according to claim 1, wherein the tablet computer further comprises a mobile phone pressurization member protruding from one lateral wall of the mobile phone mounting portion by means of a spring member.

11. The tablet computer according to claim 10, wherein the tablet computer has at least one foldable line.

12. The tablet computer according to claim 1, wherein the tablet computer has at least one foldable line.
