Description

PRIORITY CLAIM

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/461,724 filed on Jan. 24, 2011 for “Kanna-Grip” of Robert E. Kannaka, and is a continuation-in-part (CIP) of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/350,088 filed on Jan. 13, 2012 for “Hand Grip For Electronics devices” of Robert E. Kannaka, each hereby incorporated by reference in the entirety as though fully set forth herein.

BACKGROUND

With the ever increasing popularity of mobile or handheld electronics devices, such as smart phones and tablets (and proprietary brands such as Apple's iPhone™ and iPad™), the market continues to grow for accessories for these devices. Accessories include a variety of covers, including screen protectors, cases, and even so-called “skins” that allow the user to quickly and easily change the color of the device case. While some of these serve only an aesthetic purpose (e.g., the skins), others of these serve a protective function. For example, the cases protect the device from some bumps and even short drops. But none of these cases provide the user with a better grip to reduce or altogether prevent dropping of the device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

While there are many cases available as accessories for mobile or handheld electronics devices, none of these cases provide the user with a better grip to reduce or altogether prevent dropping of the device. The hand grip disclosed herein enables the user to better grip mobile or handheld electronics devices, such as but not limited to, smart phones and tablets (and proprietary brands such as Apple's iPhone™ and iPad™, Androids™, and others). For example, the hand grip enables the user to manipulate the phone using only one hand (and in some examples, a single finger), and reduces dropping the phone. Various embodiments are disclosed which provide a comfortable and supportive backing and help to ensure proper handling of the electronics device in the user's fingers and/or hand. The handles or straps also offer people the option to “hang” or secure their phone around their wrist, purse strap, backpack, etc. These and other features and advantages of the hand grip will become readily apparent after becoming familiar with the teachings herein.

Before continuing, it is noted that as used herein, the terms “includes” and “including” mean, but is not limited to, “includes” or “including” and “includes at least” or “including at least.” The term “based on” means “based on” and “based at least in part on.”

FIG. 1 shows multiple views of an example handheld electronics device 1. In FIG. 1, the view labeled (a) is a perspective view of the electronics device 10, (b) is a front plan view of the electronics device, (c) is a back plan view of the electronics device, and (d) is a side plan view of the electronics device.

The electronics device 1 may include a housing 2 for internal electronic components (not shown), and a display 4 that a user may operate for interfacing with the electronics device 1. For example, the display 4 may be a touch-sensitive screen which both receives user input and displays output for a user. Some electronics devices 1 include one or more buttons 6 that the user may operate in addition to (or in place of) a touch-sensitive screen. While only one button 6 is shown in FIG. 1, it is understood that multiple buttons (or no buttons at all) may be provided. The electronics device 1 may also include ports (not shown), such as USB, video, and/or charging ports. The electronics device 1 may also include a camera lens (such as front-facing camera lens 8a and/or rear-facing camera lens 8b and associated flash 8c).

The electronics device 1 may be, but is not limited to, a smart phone or tablet (and proprietary brands such as Apple's iPhone™ and iPad™), gaming devices, controllers (e.g., remote controls), and other like devices. Therefore, the figure is labeled as “Prior Art” and is shown for the purpose of illustrating one example of an electronics device described herein may be used with. The hand grip itself is not shown in FIG. 1, and therefore the label “Prior Art” is not to be construed as an admission that any part of the hand grip is known.

Of course, it will be readily appreciated that the hand grip described herein may be suitably modified to work with any of a wide variety of different sizes and shapes of electronics devices, now known in the market and those later developed and introduced, without departing from the teachings herein.

Before continuing, it should be noted that the examples described above are provided for purposes of illustration, and are not intended to be limiting. Other devices and/or device configurations may be utilized to carry out the operations described herein.

FIG. 2 shows an example hand grip 10 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1. FIG. 2a is a cutaway side view of the hand grip 10 attached to the handheld electronics device 1 taken along lines 2-2 shown in FIG. 2.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the hand grip 10 may include a backing 12 removably attachable to a back side of the electronics device 1 by stretching over opposite edge portions (e.g., around the perimeter) of the electronics device. A cutout 13 can be provided in the backing 12, e.g., for camera lens, flash, and/or ports. The hand grip 10 may also include a handle member 14 connecting with the backing 12. The handle member connects with one or more finger of a user to securely hold the electronics device 1 by the hand of the user. For example, the user may slide his or her fingers between the backing 12 on the electronics device 1 and the handle 14.

The backing 12 may be made of any suitable material that substantially conforms to the shape of the electronics device 1, but can be stretched around at least a portion of the perimeter of the electronics device 1, similar to attaching a conventional silicon cover to a mobile phone device. The backing 12 may be made of silicon or any other material that provides the function described herein. The backing 12 may have a composition with any degree of flexibility or rigidity, depending at least in part on the desired function.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the handle member 14 includes a strap 16. Strap 16 may be made of a mesh, elastic, leather, cotton/blend, or any such desired material (including fashion straps), any colors, styles of straps (e.g., based on fabric type), and designs on the straps. As such, the strap is sufficiently resilient to lay substantially flat against the back side of the electronics device when not in use, but can be readily pulled out from the back side of the electronics device 1 for grasping and positioning the user's fingers between the strap 16 and the back of the electronics device 1.

The handle member 14 may be attached to the electronics device 1 via an insert 18a-b on each end of the strap 16. The inserts 18a-b can be slid (e.g., as illustrated by arrows 19a-b) into elongated notches 20a-b formed inside opposite end portions of the backing 12. Accordingly, the inserts 18a-b engage inside the respective elongated notches 20a-b to attach the handle member 14 to the backing 12.

The handle member 14 may be attached to the backing 12 before and/or after attaching the backing 12 to the electronics device 1. For example, the user may replace the handle member 14 if the handle member becomes stretched or worn out, without having to replace the backing 12.

Other embodiments are also contemplated, as illustrated for purposes of example in the drawings described as follows. It is noted that various embodiments use like reference numbers to refer to like components in the drawings, but different embodiment are distinguished by different hundred series reference numbers (e.g., 110, 210, etc.). Therefore, each component may not be described again separately for each embodiment, except to the extent variations are present.

FIG. 3 shows an example hand grip 110 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1. FIG. 3a is a cutaway side view of the hand grip 110 attached to the handheld electronics device 1 taken along lines 3-3 shown in FIG. 3. 100-series reference numbers refer to like elements and may not be described again.

The hand grip 110 may again include backing 112 removably attachable to a back side of the electronics device 1 by stretching over opposite edge portions of the electronics device 1. The hand grip 110 may also include a handle member 114 connecting with the backing 112. After connecting to the backing 112, the handle member 114 can be grasped with one or more finger of a user to securely hold the electronics device 1 by the user's hand. For example, the user may slide his or her fingers between the electronics device 1 and the handle 114.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the backing 112 may include an engagement mechanism 122a-b on each end of the handle member 114. The engagement mechanism 122a-b is self-locking during connection of the handle member 114 to the backing 112, for example, by sliding the tab portion 124a-b into the respective slots 126a-b formed in the backing 112. The button portion 128a-b of the engagement mechanism 122a-b depress and then are biased outward into opening 130a-b to lock onto the backing 112. The engagement mechanism 122a-b may be manually depressed and pulled out of the slot 126a-b to unlock the handle member 114 from the backing 112.

Also shown in the example of FIG. 3 is an adjustment member 132 for the handle member 114. The adjustment member 132 may be a buckle or other suitable device that enables the strap 116 of the handle member 114 to be adjusted for size (e.g., tightened and/or loosened). Logos or other designs may also be provided on the adjustment member 132. Strap 116 and hand grip 210 may come in different fabrics, styles, designs and colors, etc. In addition, straps for all models may be marketed in packages to suit different occasions (e.g., silicon strap for workouts and leather for work and color for fun).

FIG. 4 shows an example hand grip 210 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1. FIG. 4a is a cutaway side view of the hand grip 210 attached to the handheld electronics device 1 taken along lines 4-4 shown in FIG. 4. 200-series reference numbers refer to like elements and may not be described again.

The hand grip 210 may again include backing removably attachable to a back side of the electronics device 1 by stretching over opposite edge portions of the electronics device 1. But in the example shown in FIG. 4, the backing does not cover the entire electronics device 1. Instead, the backing is configured as clip members 212a-b that attach on the top and bottom (or opposite sides) of the electronics device 1. A tightening component may also be provided, e.g., as shown in FIG. 3.

Again, the hand grip 210 may include a handle member 214 connecting with the backing 212. After connecting to the backing 212, the handle member 214 can be grasped with one or more finger of a user to securely hold the electronics device 1 by the user's hand. For example, the user may slide his or her fingers between the backing 212 on the electronics device 1 and the handle 214.

FIG. 5 shows an example hand grip 310 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1. 300-series reference numbers refer to like elements and may not be described again.

The hand grip 310 may again include backing 312 removably attachable to a back side of the electronics device 1 by stretching over opposite edge portions of the electronics device 1. The hand grip 310 may also include a handle member 314 connecting with the backing 312. But in the example shown in FIG. 5, the handle member 314 is permanently or semi-permanently attached to the backing 312.

FIG. 5a is a cutaway side view of the hand grip 310 attached to the handheld electronics device 1 taken along lines 5-5 shown in FIG. 5. In this example, the handle member 316 is attached by fusing or other permanent or semi-permanent means to the backing 312.

FIG. 5b is a cutaway side view of another hand grip 310 attached to the electronics device 1 taken along lines 5-5 shown in FIG. 5. In this example, the handle member 316′ is attached through an opening or slot formed through the backing 312.

After connecting to the backing 312, the handle member 316′ can be grasped with one or more finger of a user to securely hold the electronics device 1 by the user's hand. For example, the user may slide his or her fingers between the backing 312 on the electronics device 1 and the handle 316′.

FIG. 6 shows an example hand grip 410 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1. FIG. 6a is a cutaway side view of the hand grip 410 attached to the handheld electronics device 1 taken along lines 6-6 shown in FIG. 6. 400-series reference numbers refer to like elements and may not be described again.

The hand grip 410 may again include backing 412 removably attachable to a back side of the electronics device 1 by stretching over opposite edge portions of the electronics device 1. The hand grip 410 may also include a handle member 414 connecting with the backing 412. But in the example shown in FIG. 6, the backing 412 includes clip members or socks or end caps 412a-b that fit over the edge of the handheld electronics device 1, similar to those described above for FIG. 4.

FIG. 7a is a back plan view of an example hand grip 510 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1. 500-series reference numbers refer to like elements and may not be described again. In this example, the hand grip 510 includes backing formed as clips or covers/caps/socks 512a-b with an elastic strap 516 formed therebetween. The elastic strap 516 has a substantially “X” shape and can be designed to fit around various positions of the camera lens.

FIG. 7b is a back plan view of another example hand grip 610 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1. 600-series reference numbers refer to like elements and may not be described again. In this example, the handle member connects to each of four corners of the electronics device 1, and the handle member forms an integral part of the backing itself, providing a protection mechanism if the phone is dropped.

FIG. 8 is a back plan view of an example hand grip 710 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1. FIG. 8a shows cutaway side views illustrating the hand grip 710 as it may be connected to the handheld electronics device 1 and moved in a track 740 formed in the backing 712 of the hand grip 710, taken along lines 8-8 shown in FIG. 8.

In this example, a finger cup 742 slides in the track 740 formed within the backing 712. The track 740 may have any desired design. In FIG. 8, the track 740 is shown as it may cross to at least three corners of the backing 712. The finger cup 742 may be housed in a collapsed position in a pocket 745 (best seen in the side views of FIG. 8a). The pocket 745 may be formed by a raised portion in some or all of the backing 712.

The finger cup 742 may be form-fitting (e.g., made of a pliable or soft silicon) to at least partially conform around a tip portion of the finger of the user. Although the end portion that fits inside the track 740 may be made of a harder plastic or metal to slide more readily within the track 740 and reduce the occurrence of breaking.

The finger cup 742 can be readily grasped by a user by inserting his or her finger (e.g., an index finger). The finger cup 742 lays substantially flat against the back side of the electronics device in a collapsed position. The finger cup 742 may be provided in a container area 745 in the backing 712.

In use, the finger cup 742 is movable (e.g., between about 45 and 90 degrees) between the collapsed position and an operating position, as illustrated by arrow 744 between the first and the second drawing in FIG. 8a. It is noted that because part of the cup 742 is form fitting and pliable, the finger can bend somewhat away from this range (e.g., beyond 90 degrees). The finger cup 742 can then slide around in the track 740, as illustrated by arrow 746 between the second and the third drawing in FIG. 8a.

FIG. 8b is a perspective illustration showing how a user can hold and move the electronics device 1 using the hand grip shown 710 in FIGS. 8 and 8a. The finger cup 742 (not visible in FIG. 8b) rotates 360 degrees within the track 740 thus allowing unlimited degrees of freedom, as illustrated by arrows 750a-b.

FIGS. 9, 9a-h, and 10 illustrate an example hand grip 810 that may be used for an electronics device, e.g., as a case. Although shown having an open face, it is noted that the hand grip 810 may include a cover that closes over the screen of the electronics device.

In an example, a backing 812 or other means for attaching may be removably attached to a back side 1b of electronics device 1, e.g., by stretching over corner portions of the electronics device. When the backing 812 is stretched over the electronics device, a plurality of corner portions or “feet” 851, 853, 855 and 857 having lip portions or “toes” 851a, 853a, 855a, 857a grasp and engage or otherwise secure the backing 812 to the electronics device. Although the example shown herein has the corners of the backing 812 gripping the corners of the electronics device 1 (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 9 & 9a), it is noted that the backing 812 may be connected to the electronics device 1 at the corners and/or the edges of the electronics device 1.

In an example, the backing 812 may include cut-out portions 852, 854, 856 and 858 extending between adjacent feet 851, 853, 855 and 857 (FIGS. 9a, 9c & 9d). Cut-out portions 852, 854, 856 and 858 are configured to expose side portions of an electronics device to which it is attached, allowing for access to any input or output components at the sides of the electronics device. As such, the backing 812 is “universal” to different types and styles of electronics devices 1. In addition, cut-out portions 852 and 856 may also be configured to expose an area of a back side of an electronics device 1. Larger cut-out portions result in less material which may allow for lower cost of manufacture. However, the backing 812 is not limited to any type or number of cut-out portions, and indeed, may not include cut-out portions in other examples.

The backing 812 is also not limited to being “universal” and may be configured or styled specifically for use with particular electronics devices and/or users.

In an example, a window 813 may be provided through backing 812 to accommodate use of a tool or peripheral of an electronics device 1, such as but not limited to, a camera, light meter, microphone. (FIGS. 9b & 9c). Any number and/or position of window(s) may be provided for backing 812.

In an example, ribbing 859 or similar reinforcing structure may be provided for backing 812, e.g., to reinforce a region of backing 812 proximal to window 813 (FIGS. 9, 9b & 9f). Ribbing or similar reinforcing structure may alternatively or additionally be provided to other regions of backing 812. It is noted that means for attaching a handgrip may be arranged in any of a variety of ways, for example, so as to incorporate one or more features of the backing 812 (e.g., as described with respect to FIGS. 1-8) or other features.

A channel 872 may be formed adjacent mooring 862 and a channel 876 may be formed adjacent to mooring 866. The channels enable the “keys” that hold the straps to lie flush with the case and reduce or altogether prevent bulging in the strap.

A handle member 814 (or other means for gripping) connects to backing 812 to enable secure holding of the handheld electronics device by a hand of a user. In an example, the handle member 814 is configured to permit manipulations of the electronics device 1 with only one hand. As an example, a user may slip his or her hand between handle member 814 and backing 812 with palm towards backing 812 such that handle member 814 and backing 812 cooperate to effectively provide a loop or sleeve over the user's hand. Handle member 814 may be size adjustable and may automatically return to a substantially flat position against a back side of the electronics device when handle member 814 is not in use (FIGS. 9d & 9e).

In an example, the backing may include one or more mooring (e.g., moorings 862 and 866 are shown remote from one another). The moorings 862 and 866 may project from a back surface 812b (e.g., the surface opposite the surface that is adjacent to the electronics device 1) of the backing 812. The moorings 862 and 866 may be configured to receive anchors of the handle member 814.

In an example, mooring 866 is formed at a bottom end of backing 812 and mooring 862 is formed between mooring 866 and the top end. Mooring 862 includes a first vertical slot 822 and mooring 866 includes a second vertical slot 826a in communication with a horizontal slot 826b. The distance between first vertical slot 822 and horizontal slot 826b is greater than a length of handle member 814 to facilitate anchoring handle 814 to backing 812. Horizontal slot 826b communicates with vertical slot 826a at a location most distal from mooring 862 (FIGS. 9c & 9g). Such a configuration may enable the user to readily connect and disconnect the handle member 814 from the backing 812 (e.g., to replace the handle member 814 or remove for other reasons), while still providing a secure fit while the handle member 814 is connected to the backing 812.

In an example, the moorings are formed by sockets 864 and 868 in front surface 812a of backing 812 opposite each of the moorings 862 and 868. The sockets may serve as a hollow area for admitting access by the anchors (e.g., bars 819a-b) to securing portions of the handle member 814 as described below.

In an example, the anchors of handle member 814 may include a straight bar 819a and 819b coupled with loops 816a and 816b of handle member 814 by bases 818a and 818b. The width of straight bars 819a and 819b is greater than a width of vertical slots 822 and 826a but just less than the width of horizontal slot 826b (FIGS. 9b & 9h) such that bars 819a and 819b may be passed through slots 822, 826a, 826b in a first orientation but are prevented from passing there through in a plurality of other orientations.

It is noted that the handle member 814 may be connected to backing 812 before and/or after engaging backing 812 with an electronics device 1. Straight bar 819a may be aligned with and inserted into vertical slot 822, then rotated (e.g., about 90 degrees) to lock or otherwise secure an end of handle member 814 to mooring 862. Then, straight bar 819b may be aligned with and inserted into horizontal slot 824b.

Due to the elasticity of handle member 814, straight bar 819b travels toward mooring 862 to a position away from horizontal slot 826b where it anchors the second end of handle member 814. It should be noted that rotation of straight bar 819a need only be sufficient to misalign with vertical slot 822 so that it will not pull straight out, thereby securing the handle member 814 to the backing 812. Thus, it is noted that angles less than or greater than 90 degrees may also serve to anchor straight bar 819a to mooring 862.

With handle member 814 connected to moorings 862 and 866 of backing 812 by straight rods 819a and 819b, handle member 814 is gripped by a user with one or more finger to securely hold the handheld electronics device (FIG. 10).

To remove handle member 814 from backing 812 handle member 814 is stretched such that straight bar 819b may be aligned with horizontal slot 826a and lifted from mooring 866. After disengaging straight bar 819b, straight bar 819a is aligned with vertical slot 822 and similarly disengaged. In some cases, direct access to straight bars 819a and 819b through sockets 864 and 868 may facilitate their rotation.

It is noted that the examples shown and described are provided for purposes of illustration and are not intended to be limiting. Still other examples are also contemplated.
