Description

The technology disclosed herein relates to a mobile terminal storage device.

Mobile terminal storage devices that can be attached to shopping carts have been known for some time.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a mobile terminal holder that includes a left side contact portion that can contact the first surface of the mobile terminal, and a movable holder that faces the left side contact portion and is movable toward and away from the contact surface of the left side contact portion that contacts the mobile terminal, thereby clamping the mobile terminal between itself and the left side contact portion.

Patent document 2 also discloses a configuration in which a magnifying glass is attached to the handle of a shopping cart.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-40645 Utility Model Registration No. 3156113

Food manufacturers and retailers provide consumers with information about food by listing information about the ingredients, additives, and components of food on the food packaging or by attaching labels with this information to the food packaging. This food information is important for certain consumers, such as patients with illnesses and pregnant women, who are somewhat limited in the foods they can eat. These consumers search for this food information on their mobile devices or refer to notes recorded on their mobile devices to determine whether they can eat a food.

Since the area for writing food information as described above is limited, it is written in relatively small letters, which can be difficult to read accurately even for people with normal eyesight. If a mobile device holder like the one in Patent Document 1 is used, it is possible to use the camera function of the held mobile device to enlarge the image, but in this case it becomes difficult to simultaneously conduct searches and compare with notes. On the other hand, a method such as attaching a magnifying glass to a shopping cart as in Patent Document 2 could be considered, but simply attaching a magnifying glass to a shopping cart requires the user to frequently shift their gaze between the smartphone and the magnifying glass, which reduces efficiency.

The technology disclosed here was developed in light of these issues, and its purpose is to provide a mobile device storage device that allows users to efficiently operate a mobile device to access food information.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the technology disclosed herein is directed to a mobile terminal storage device that is attached to a shopping cart and stores a mobile terminal, and is configured to include a storage device main body that stores the mobile terminal with the screen of the mobile terminal facing the user of the shopping cart, and a magnifying glass fixed to the storage device main body, wherein the magnifying glass has a flat protruding portion that protrudes upward or to one side in the left-right direction from the storage device main body when the storage device main body is viewed from the front, and a magnifying glass main body that is fitted into the protruding portion.

With this configuration, the magnifying glass body is positioned close to the storage device body, making it easier to keep the magnifying glass body and the mobile device in the same field of view when the mobile device is stored in the storage device body. This reduces line of sight movement and allows for efficient operation of the mobile device to access food information.

In addition, compared to attaching the mobile terminal holder and magnifying glass separately to the shopping cart, the configuration can be made more compact. This makes it easier to put items in and take them out of the shopping cart.

In the mobile terminal storage device, the storage device main body may have a back wall portion located on the back side of the mobile terminal, a left side wall portion and a right side wall portion arranged opposite each other in the left-right direction, a bottom wall portion provided between the left side wall portion and the right side wall portion, and a front wall portion provided opposite the back wall portion and partially open so that the screen of the mobile terminal is exposed, and the protrusion portion may protrude along the back wall portion when viewed from the front wall portion.

With this configuration, the mobile device can be properly supported by the storage device main body, making it easy to operate the mobile device. Furthermore, because the protruding portion protrudes along the back wall, the magnifying glass main body and the mobile device screen are approximately parallel. This makes it easier to see the food information magnified by the magnifying glass main body while operating the mobile device screen. As a result, the food information can be more efficiently viewed on the mobile device.

In the mobile terminal holder, the magnifying glass may further include a support portion provided at the tip of the protrusion, extending in a direction intersecting the protrusion direction of the protrusion, and supporting the user's finger.

In other words, when operating a mobile device while holding food, the food is held in one hand. With the above configuration, by placing a finger on the support portion while holding the food in one hand, it becomes easier to maintain the relative position between the food and the magnifying glass body. This makes it easier to maintain the magnified state of the food information you want to enlarge, even when holding the food in one hand. As a result, you can operate the mobile device for food information more efficiently.

In the mobile terminal storage device, the magnifying glass may be configured as a separate body from the storage device main body, and the protruding portion may be configured to change the protruding direction relative to the storage device main body.

This allows the magnifying glass to be positioned appropriately depending on the mounting position of the mobile terminal holder relative to the shopping cart.

As explained above, the technology disclosed herein enables efficient operation of mobile devices for food information.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a stand having a mobile terminal holder according to an exemplary embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the mobile terminal storage device. FIG. 3 is a front view of the portable terminal storage device. FIG. 4 is a left side view of the portable terminal storage case. FIG. 5 is a rear view of the portable terminal storage device. FIG. 6 is a front view showing the state in which the portable terminal is stored. FIG. 7 shows a modified example of the portable terminal storage device.

An exemplary embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows a stand device 100 equipped with a mobile terminal storage device 1 (hereinafter referred to as terminal storage device 1) according to this embodiment. The stand device 100 is attached to a shaft-shaped member P such as the handle of a shopping cart or a carrier, with a tablet-type mobile terminal T such as a smartphone stored in the terminal storage device 1.

The stand device 100 has a support 101 to one end of which the terminal storage device 1 is attached, and a clamper 102 attached to the other end of the support 101 and used to clamp a shaft-shaped member P such as a handle for a shopping cart or the like.

The support pillar 101 is arranged to extend in a direction perpendicular to the shaft-shaped member P. The support pillar 101 is constructed by welding two steel plates bent into a U-shaped cross section with the U-shaped openings facing each other. While detailed illustrations are omitted, the upper end of the support pillar 101 extends in the left-right direction and forms a planar portion that slopes diagonally upward. The terminal storage device 1 is fastened to this planar portion with screws.

The clamper 102 is composed of a pair of clamping members 102a connected by multiple screws. The pair of clamping members 102a are arranged facing each other in the vertical direction and clamp the shaft-shaped member P in the vertical direction. A fitting groove extending in the left-right direction is formed on the underside of each clamping member 102a. This fitting groove is a groove into which a portion of the handle fits and is formed with an arc-shaped cross section. The curvature of the fitting groove is smaller than the curvature of the outer periphery of the shaft-shaped member P when the stand device 100 is not attached to the handle. When the stand device 100 is attached to the shaft-shaped member P, the clamping members 102a bend in the direction of fastening the screws, making the curvature of the fitting groove approximately the same as the curvature of the outer periphery of the shaft-shaped member P.

Figures 2 to 5 each show the structure of the terminal storage device 1. The terminal storage device 1 is made of resin. In the following description, when a mobile terminal T is stored in the terminal storage device 1, the direction corresponding to the thickness of the mobile terminal T is referred to as the "face direction," the side on which the screen of the mobile terminal T is located in the face direction is referred to as the "front side," and the side opposite the front side in the face direction is referred to as the "back side." Regarding the left-right direction, the left side when viewed from the front side to the back side is referred to as the "left side," and the right side is referred to as the "right side." Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the face direction and the left-right direction is referred to as the "predetermined direction." When the mobile terminal T is stored, the side on which the bottom of the mobile terminal T is located in the predetermined direction is referred to as the "bottom side," and the side opposite the bottom side in the predetermined direction is referred to as the "top side." The bottom side corresponds to the bottom side when the storage device main body 3, described below, is viewed from the front, and the top side corresponds to the top side when the storage device main body 3 is viewed from the front.

As shown in Figure 2, the terminal storage device 1 has a storage device main body 3 in which the mobile terminal T is actually stored. The storage device main body 3 has a flat back wall 11 located on the rear side, a left side wall 23 extending parallel to the left end of the back wall 11, a right side wall 12 facing the left side wall 23 and extending parallel to the right end of the back wall 11, a bottom wall 13 provided between the left side wall 23 and the right side wall 12, and a front wall 21 facing the back wall 11 and partially open in the face direction so that the screen of the mobile terminal T is exposed.

The back wall 11 is the wall on which the back side of the mobile device T stored in the storage device main body 3 is located. The upper end of the back wall 11 extends straight in the left-right direction. As shown in Figure 4, the upper end of the back wall 11 extends straight in a predetermined direction on the rear side, while the front side forms an upper inclined surface 11a that slopes upward toward the rear. The length of the back wall 11 in the predetermined direction is set to a length that will prevent the mobile device T from being exposed from the storage device main body 3.

The left end of the back wall 11 extends straight in a predetermined direction. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the left end of the back wall 11 has a left inclined surface 11b that slopes toward the rear side as it extends leftward.

As shown in FIG. 2, the front side of the back wall 11 has a recess 16 for accommodating a spring member 30 (described later). The recess 16 has multiple (four in this example) screw insertion holes 17 for inserting screws. The recess 16 also has a spring engagement hole 18 that engages with a portion of the spring member 30.

As will be described in more detail below, a pair of guide pins 19 (see Figure 5) are provided on the rear side of the back wall 11, spaced apart in a predetermined direction, to serve as a guide when attaching the magnifying glass 70.

As shown in Figure 4, the left side wall 23 extends in the plane direction and in a predetermined direction. The rear end of the left side wall 23 is separated from the back wall 11. In other words, a gap S is formed between the left side wall 23 and the back wall 11 over the entire length in the predetermined direction.

Although not shown, a cavity is formed inside the left side wall 23, and a reinforcing member made of a metal plate such as a steel plate is inserted into this cavity. The reinforcing member is fixed to the bottom wall 13.

The right side wall portion 12 extends in the planar direction and in a predetermined direction so as to be perpendicular to the back wall portion 11 and extend parallel to the right end of the back wall portion 11. The right side wall portion 12 extends so as to be continuous with the back wall portion 11. No gap is formed between the right side wall portion 12 and the back wall portion 11.

The bottom wall 13 extends along the bottom edge of the back wall 11, connecting the bottom edge of the left wall 23 and the bottom edge of the right wall 12 in the left-right direction. The bottom wall 13 has multiple through holes 13a. The through holes 13a are formed at the right edge of the bottom wall 13 and near the center in the left-right direction. These through holes 13a are dust holes that prevent dust from accumulating inside the storage device main body 3. The through hole 13a at the right edge of the bottom wall 13 is shown in Figure 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the front wall 21 has an open center in the left-right direction. The front wall 21 has a left front wall 21a and a right front wall 21b separated into left and right halves, as well as a connecting portion 21c connecting the left front wall 21a and the right front wall 21b. When viewed from the front, the left front wall 21a has a stepped shape that protrudes gradually to the right toward the bottom. When viewed from the front, the right front wall 21b has a stepped shape that protrudes gradually to the left toward the bottom. As a result, the left and right front walls 21a, 21b have a larger left-right width at the bottom than at the top. The connecting portion 21c connects the right-side and bottom-side end of the left front wall 21a to the left-side and bottom-side end of the right front wall 21b. This allows the position between the left front wall 21a and the right front wall 21b to be as open as possible in the specified direction. Therefore, even if the mobile terminal T does not have a home button and almost the entire screen is the operation unit, it can be operated while stored in the storage device main body 3.

The storage device main body 3 is formed by combining a base part 10 located on the rear side and a cover part 20 attached to the base part 10 so as to cover the base part 10 from the front side. The cover part 20 is detachably attached to the base part 10.

The back wall 11 is formed on the base 10. The left side wall 23 and front wall 21 are formed on the cover 20. The right side wall 12 and bottom wall 13 are formed in parts on the base 10 and cover 20, respectively, and when the cover 20 is assembled to the base 10, they form a single right side wall 12 and bottom wall 13.

A spring member 30 is provided within the storage device main body 3 to bias the mobile device T toward the front wall portion 21 when the mobile device T is stored in the storage device main body 3. The spring member 30 is made of a leaf spring. The spring member 30 is made of a material with lower rigidity than the exterior of the mobile device T, such as a resin material.

The spring member 30 has a fixed portion 31 that is fixed to the back wall portion 11 and a biasing portion 32 that applies a biasing force to the mobile terminal T.

The fixing portion 31 is housed in a recess formed in the back wall portion 11. As shown in Figure 3, the fixing portion 31 has screw insertion holes 31a at locations corresponding to the two screw insertion holes 17 on the upper surface of the back wall portion 11. Like the screw insertion holes 17, each screw insertion hole 31a is a hole through which a screw is inserted. In other words, the fixing portion 31 is designed to be fastened together with the back wall portion 11.

As shown in Figure 2, when the fixed portion 31 is fixed to the back wall portion 11, the biasing portion 32 extends at an angle from the bottom end of the fixed portion 31 toward the front side. As shown in Figure 3, the bottom end of the biasing portion 32 extends obliquely from its left end toward its right end toward the front and bottom sides. The left and right ends of the bottom end are rounded.

The biasing portion 32 has a tool insertion hole 32a at a position that overlaps with the screw insertion hole 17 in the back wall portion 11 when viewed from the front side. This tool insertion hole 32a is slightly larger than the screw insertion hole 31a provided in the fixing portion 31. The tool insertion hole 32a is a hole that makes it easier to pass a tool through when attaching the terminal storage device 1 to the support pole 101.

Among the users of the shopping cart, there are certain users who are somewhat limited in the foods they can eat, such as patients with illnesses or pregnant women. These users check the information on the food's ingredients, additives, components, etc. (hereinafter referred to as food information) written on the food's packaging or on a sticker attached to the food to determine whether or not the food is edible. In doing so, the specific user searches using the mobile device T or refers to notes saved on the mobile device T. With the terminal storage device 1 described above, the storage device main body 3 can store the mobile device T in a state where the screen can be operated, making it easy to perform searches using the mobile device T.

However, because the space available for writing food information is limited, the food information is written in relatively small letters. This can make it difficult for even people with normal eyesight to accurately read the food information.

The terminal storage device 1 according to this embodiment is therefore equipped with a magnifying glass 70 for magnifying the food information.

The magnifying glass 70 is constructed separately from the storage device main body 3. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the magnifying glass 70 is constructed from an L-shaped plate member. The magnifying glass 70 has an attachment part 71 that extends straight in a predetermined direction and is attached to the back wall part 11, a protrusion part 72 that is continuous with the attachment part 71 and protrudes upward from the back wall part 11, and a magnifying glass main body 73 that is fitted into the protrusion part 72. The attachment part 71 and the protrusion part 72 are made of resin. The magnifying glass main body 73 is constructed from a lens such as a convex lens or a Fresnel lens.

As shown in Figure 5, the mounting portion 71 is flat and has multiple holes. These holes include two guide holes 71a formed side by side in a predetermined direction in the center in the left-right direction. These guide holes 71a each engage with a guide pin 19 provided on the back wall portion 11. When each guide hole 71a engages with a pair of guide pins 19, the magnifying glass 70 is positioned relative to the back wall portion 11. The guide holes 71a are positioned so that, when each guide hole 71a engages with a pair of guide pins 19, the magnifying glass body 73 is positioned above and near the top edge of the back wall portion 11.

The mounting portion 71 also has four communication holes 71b formed at positions corresponding to the four screw insertion holes 17 in the back wall portion 11 and communicating with the screw insertion holes 17, with each guide hole 71a engaged with a pair of guide pins 19. A screw is inserted into each communication hole 71b, just like the screw insertion holes 17. In other words, the mounting portion 71 is fastened together with the back wall portion 11.

The multiple holes in the mounting portion 71 include multiple (six in this example) hole groups 71c, each of which has three holes lined up. These hole groups 71c are used when attaching the magnifying glass 70 to the back wall portion 11 so that the magnifying glass main body 73 is positioned on the right side of the storage body 3, as in a modified example described below. The two hole groups 71c formed in the center in a predetermined direction are engaged with the guide pins 19 of the back wall portion 11, and the remaining four hole groups communicate with the screw insertion holes 17 of the back wall portion 11.
3 and 5, the protruding portion 72 has a flat plate shape and extends continuously from the mounting portion 71. The protruding portion 72 protrudes straight from the end on the upper surface side of the back wall portion 11 toward the upper surface side along the back wall portion 11. A support portion 74 is provided at the tip end (here, the upper end) of the protruding portion 72, extending in the opposite direction from the storage device main body 3 in the surface direction.

The magnifying glass body 73, although not shown in detail, has a lens and a transparent cover that covers the lens.

The support portion 74 is a portion that supports the user's fingers when the user is holding food. By placing the user's fingers on the support portion while holding the food, the user can easily maintain the relative position between the product and the magnifying glass body 73. The amount of protrusion of the support portion 74 relative to the protrusion portion 72 may be set according to the focal length of the magnifying glass body 73. In particular, by matching the amount of protrusion with the focal length of the magnifying glass body 73, the support portion 74 can be used as a guide when adjusting the focus.

Figure 6 shows an example of how the terminal storage device 1 is used. When the mobile terminal T is stored in the storage device main body 3, the magnifying glass main body 73 of the magnifying glass 70 is located above the mobile terminal T. This allows the mobile terminal T to be operated while food information is magnified by the magnifying glass main body 73. In particular, because the magnifying glass main body 73 is located close to the mobile terminal T, it is easier to include the magnifying glass main body 73 and the screen of the mobile terminal T in a single field of view, reducing the amount of line of sight movement between the magnifying glass main body 73 and the screen of the mobile terminal T. This makes it easier for a specific user to search for food information on the mobile terminal T. This allows the mobile terminal T to be operated efficiently for food information.

Accordingly, this embodiment includes a storage device main body 3 that stores a mobile device T with the screen of the mobile device T facing the user of the shopping cart, and a magnifying glass 70 provided on the storage device main body 3. The magnifying glass 70 has a flat protruding portion 72 that protrudes upward or to one side in the left-right direction from the storage device main body 3 when the storage device main body 3 is viewed from the front, and a magnifying glass main body 73 that is fitted into the protruding portion 72. This positions the magnifying glass main body 73 close to the storage device main body 3, making it easier to include the magnifying glass main body 73 and the screen of the mobile device T in the same field of view when the mobile device T is stored in the storage device main body 3. This reduces line-of-sight movement and allows the mobile device T to be operated efficiently in relation to food information.

In addition, by combining the storage device main body 3 and magnifying glass 70 into one unit, a more compact configuration can be achieved compared to when these are attached separately to the shopping cart. This makes it easier to put items in and take them out of the shopping cart.

In this embodiment, the storage device main body 3 has a back wall 11 located on the back side of the mobile device, a left side wall 23 and a right side wall 12 arranged opposite each other in the left-right direction, a bottom wall 13 provided between the left side wall 23 and the right side wall 12, and a front wall 21 provided opposite the back wall 11 and partially open so that the screen of the mobile device T is exposed. The protrusion 72 protrudes along the back wall 11 when viewed from the front wall 21 side. This allows the storage device main body 3 to properly support the mobile device T, making it easy to operate the mobile device T. Furthermore, because the protrusion 72 protrudes along the back wall 11, the magnifying glass main body 73 and the screen of the mobile device T are approximately parallel. This makes it easier to view food information magnified by the magnifying glass main body 73 while operating the screen of the mobile device T. As a result, the food information can be operated on the mobile device T more efficiently.

In addition, in this embodiment, the magnifying glass 70 has a support portion 74 that is provided at the tip of the protruding portion 72, extends toward the rear side in a plane direction intersecting the protruding direction of the protruding portion 72, and supports the user's finger. This makes it easier to maintain the relative position between the food and the magnifying glass main body 73 by placing a finger on the support portion 74, even when holding food in one hand. As a result, it is easier to maintain the enlarged state of the food information you want to enlarge, making it possible to operate the mobile device T for the food information more efficiently.

Figure 7 shows a modified version of this embodiment. In this modified version, the magnifying glass 70 is attached to the back wall 11 so that the protrusion 72 is located on the right side of the storage device main body 3. The magnifying glass main body 73 is located on the right side of the storage device main body 3 together with the protrusion 72. Even with this configuration, because the magnifying glass main body 73 is located in the vicinity of the storage device main body 3, it is easier to bring the screen of the mobile device T stored in the storage device main body 3 and the food information magnified by the magnifying glass main body 73 into a single field of view. This reduces the amount of line of sight movement between the magnifying glass main body 73 and the screen of the mobile device T, allowing for efficient operation of the mobile device T in relation to the food information.

In particular, in this modification, the mobile device T may be positioned above the edge of the upper surface of the back wall 11. This allows the camera of the mobile device T to be uncovered by the back wall 11. Therefore, even if it is necessary to scan a barcode or two-dimensional code with the camera of the mobile device T, the scan can be performed while the mobile device T is stored in the storage device main body 3.

(Other embodiments)
The technology disclosed herein is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be substituted within the scope of the claims.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the storage device main body 3 and the magnifying glass 70 were separate bodies. However, this is not limiting, and the storage device main body 3 and the magnifying glass 70 may be configured as an integrated unit. In this case, there is no need to provide an attachment portion 71 on the magnifying glass 70.

In the above-described embodiment, the magnifying glass 70 is fixed to the storage device main body 3. As a reference embodiment different from the technology disclosed herein, the magnifying glass 70 may be configured to be movable relative to the storage device main body 3. The magnifying glass 70 can be moved in various ways, such as sliding or rotating. This allows the magnifying glass 70 to be stored in the storage device main body 3 when there is no need to magnify the food information. In this configuration, the magnifying glass 70 can be stored in the storage device main body 3 when it is not needed, thereby making the terminal storage device 1 more compact. Note that, when the magnifying glass 70 is configured as a sliding type, the width of the back wall portion 11 in a predetermined direction may be shorter than the vertical width of the mobile terminal T. This is because the magnifying glass 70 can be slid to position the magnifying glass main body 73 above the mobile terminal T depending on the vertical width of the mobile terminal T.

Furthermore, if the magnifying glass 70 is configured as a sliding type, the magnifying glass 70 does not have to be configured to be screwed to the storage device main body 3. For example, a sliding rail may be formed on the rear side of the back wall 11, and the magnifying glass 70 may be held in place by friction between the mounting portion 71 of the magnifying glass 70 and the sliding rail. Alternatively, multiple engagement grooves may be formed on at least one of the left and right edges of the magnifying glass 70 at the position of the mounting portion 71, and claws that engage with the engagement grooves may be placed on the sliding rail, and the magnifying glass 70 may be held in place by the claws.

The above-described embodiments are merely examples and should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the claims, and all modifications and variations that fall within the equivalent range of the claims are within the scope of the present disclosure.

The technology disclosed herein is useful as a mobile device storage device that can be attached to a shopping cart and stores mobile devices.
