DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention relates to a case for electronic apparatus adapted for receiving an electronic apparatus including a mobile phone and a tablet.

As shown in FIG. 1, a case for electronic apparatus of an embodiment of the present invention comprises a square body 300, wherein the said body 300 comprises a cavity adapted for receiving an electronic apparatus 301. An aperture adapted for being connected with the cavity is arranged on a side of the body 300, and the electronic apparatus 301 can be mounted into the cavity of the body 300 through the aperture. When a user needs to use the electronic apparatus 301, the electronic apparatus 301 can also be slipped out from the aperture.

Alternatively, the body 300 is of a flat shape. The aperture is arranged at a side of the body 300 and is connected with the cavity of the body 300.

Alternatively, the body 300 possesses a certain rigidity so as to be capable of certainly protecting the electronic apparatus arranged in the cavity. For example, it prevents the electronic apparatus from external accidental collision.

Alternatively, an inner wall of the cavity is made of a soft material so as to protect the electronic apparatus which is arranged inside the cavity.

In embodiments of the present invention, the electronic apparatus can be a portable media player, a smartphone, a tablet, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the body 300 comprises a magnetic member 303 which is adapted for mounting to the electronic apparatus. In this embodiment, the said magnetic member 303 is mounted to a side face inside the body 300 which is opposite to the aperture, and the magnetic member 303 is of a longitudinal shape. Preferably, the magnetic member 303 is embedded in the wall of the cavity so as to prevent the magnetic member 303 from being directly collided with the electronic apparatus.

In another embodiment, the body 300 comprises a magnetic member 303 which is adapted for mounting to the electronic apparatus. In this embodiment, the magnetic member 303 is mounted to a side face inside the body 300 which is opposite to the aperture, and the magnetic member 303 comprises a plurality of portions of magnets, wherein the plurality of portions of magnets are arranged in a row or in a plurality of rows. Similarly, the magnetic member 303 is embedded in the wall of the cavity so as to prevent the magnetic member 303 from being directly collided with the electronic apparatus.

The corresponding side face of the electronic apparatus 301 comprises a metal member 304 which is adapted for mounting to the magnetic member 303. It should be noted that a magnet can also be used for replacing the metal member 304.

To implement the embodiments of the present invention, the metal member 304 of the electronic apparatus is absorbed by the magnetic member 303 after the electronic apparatus 301 slips into the cavity from the aperture of the body 300, so as to prevent the electronic apparatus 301 from accidentally slipping off the body from the aperture, thus enhancing the protection on the electronic apparatus 301. Preferably, the magnetic member 303 is embedded in the wall of the cavity to prevent the magnetic member 303 from being directly collided with the electronic apparatus. Preferably, an inner wall of the cavity is manufactured by a soft material so as to protect the electronic apparatus arranged in the cavity.

In order to be convenient for the user to take out the electronic apparatus 301 in the body 300, the body 300 further comprises a lock releasing device adapted for dismounting the electronic apparatus from the magnetic member 303.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lock releasing device of the embodiment comprises a pulling member 302, wherein the pulling member 302 is located inside the cavity, an outer end of the pulling member 302 is protruded from the aperture, and an inner end of the pulling member 302 is mounted to a side face of the body opposite to the aperture.

The pulling member 302 is manufactured by a soft material and can be bent freely. Using the soft material to manufacture the pulling member 302 not only is convenient for the user to use, but also can prevent the electronic apparatus arranged in the cavity from being damaged by the pulling member.

In an embodiment, an inner end of the magnetic member 302 is mounted to the side face of the body opposite to the aperture, and separates the cavity from the magnetic member 303. In this way, the pulling member 302 will be located between the electronic apparatus 301 and the magnetic member 303 after the electronic apparatus 301 is mounted to the body 300, thus avoiding the electronic apparatus 301 from being directly contacted with the magnetic member 303, and also being convenient for the user to use the pulling member 302 to relieve the mounting between the magnetic member 303 and the electronic apparatus 301.

After the electronic apparatus 301 is arranged into the cavity of the body 300 by the user, only one end of the pulling member 301 is needed to be pulled when needing to take the electronic apparatus 301 out from the body 300, and the other end of the pulling member 302 will separate the electronic apparatus 301 from the magnetic member 303, weaken or relieve the mounting between the two. After the mounting between the electronic apparatus 301 and the magnetic member is relieved or weakened, the user is able to conveniently slip the electronic apparatus 301 off the body 300.

In an embodiment, the magnetic member (303) comprises a magnetic field device adapted for changing the magnetic fields. The magnetic field device comprises an electric coil. The magnetic field device can be mounted on the outer face of the body or in an external form, the power supply can be mounted inside the body, the power supply and said electric coil are mounted with each other. The magnetic field device comprises a resistor, the magnetic field device is adapted for controlling the intensity of electric current flowing towards the electric coil and the direction of electric current, and the magnetic field device is further adapted for mounting and dismounting the electronic apparatus by controlling the change of positive and negative magnetic fields of the magnetic field device. The magnetic field device further comprises at least one extending member can move linearly along the outer face of the body, so that the user can conveniently control the intensity of the electric current flowing towards the electric coil and the direction of the electric current and decide a negative electrode of a positive magnetic field device so as to mount to the electronic apparatus or separate from the electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus may comprise a magnet or other materials having a fixed electrode. The magnetic field device may further comprise a power supply releasing device adapted for cutting off the electric current of the magnetic field device.

The case for electronic apparatus provided by the prevent invention can be adapted for receiving various electronic apparatus such as a mobile phone, a tablet such as iPad, a media player, and the like.
