BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a support system for a cellular device or tablet that allows for the upright free standing of said cellular device, and relates more particularly to a cellular device that allows for the upright free standing of said cellular device with the incorporation of one of a headphone set, charging device, a nano, or a gaming control panel or the combination thereof within said upright standing support system.
2. Description of Related Art
Cellular device such as smart phone or tablet are often utilized to record and store important information. However, a smart phone or tablet can not stand free on a surface for convenient viewing purpose. A portable support system (or stand) that can support a cellular device upright in either horizontal or vertical form is needed. However, if a support system can only function as a stand to hold the cellular device, it waste space and time. Therefore, it is necessary to have a support system that not only holds the cellular device in upright position, it also provides additional function such as a recharger, additional power supply, music player, and game control panel.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, there is disclosed a portable support system for a cellular device and tablets that allows for the upright free standing of said cellular devices and tablets with the incorporation of one of a headphone set, charging device, a nano, or a gaming control panel or the combination thereof within said upright standing support system. The support system may have different shapes and different add-on functions. In addition, the support system of the present invention is easily collapsible and portable.
For a simple embodiment (“character stand” hereinafter), the support system has a main body with a connector on the top of the main body to plug into the bottom of the cellular device or tablet. The support further has a three legged design with a ball in the center which then connects to the main body. This embodiment will have a pop off stylus. This embodiment can have the licensable character applied to the outside. The tripod allows the phone or tablet to stand on the surface of a table in both a horizontal and upright positions.
The support system may function as a headphone jack (“headphone jack stand” hereinafter) that has a built in speaker. A pass through port to disconnect from wire and stand phone while adding n additional speaker. The support system may further comprise a retractable wire (or headphone cord organizing spindle) built into the phone stand. The headphone jack utilizes the leverage created from the plug and the added leverage points such as kickstand attached to the front and back of the plug to support the cellular or tablet device so the cellular or tablet device can stand up. These headphone jack stands can also have clip on or built in characters as decoration.
In most embodiments, the support system comprises a square shaped main body with a snap-on connector on the top for plugging the system into the bottom of the cellular device, and a leg hingedly attached to the back of the main body for supporting the cellular device or tablet to stand on a surface. The connector is adjustable so as to accommodate different phone cases. The bottom of the leg can be swung away from the main body in order to stand on a surface and swung towards the main body to close for easy carrying. Usually, the main body has a semi-circle cutout in the center of the bottom.
This simplest embodiment is called a “snap stand” in the following sections. The embodiments established on the basis of the aforementioned components are described in the following sections.
A simple embodiment (“simple stand” hereinafter) of the support system established on top of the basic components described earlier may further comprise a stylus removably clipped to the main body via the attaching device located on the front of the main body. The stylus stand may further have a mini speaker built in the bottom of the main body. The stylus stand differs from the base style speakers that stand the phone up because of its small size and portability. The simple stand may further comprise means for alerting the cellular device owner. The simple stand also comprise sound deflection technology, by redirecting the sound from the bottom of the phone through front of the stand. The stylus should be able to be clipped onto the body of the system or the even onto the plug directly. This will allow you to buy a plug with the technology built in or snap the technology onto existing plugs to convert them.
According to another embodiment of the present invention which can be used as a game controller (“game stand” hereinafter), the system comprises a main body with the snap-on connector connected to the plug directly and a leg attached to the back of the main body so that it can support the cellular device to stand on a surface. The system further comprises buttons/switches located on the front of the main body that can be used as a game controller when the system is plugged into the bottom of the phone. A deluxe version of this game stand can be taken apart and connected to both ends of the phone. The game stand can be as small as one controller plugged in the bottom of the phone. The simple stand may further comprise means for alerting the cellular device owner. The snap on game controllers could be blue tooth activated where the plug in controllers would plug right in and activate.
According to another embodiment of the present invention (“power/nano stand” hereinafter), the system comprises a main body with snap-on connector, a leg attached to the back of the main body for supporting the cellular device to stand on a table. The system further comprises speakers, and a recessed area in the front of the main body for holding a back up battery or a nano, wherein the nano can play music through the speakers and sync to the phone adding new possibilities to app development and phone data storage syncing. The removable batteries can provides additional power supply to the cellular device.
The connector for plugging into the bottom of the cellular device and the main part may be separable. Therefore the main body can match with different connectors so as to accommodate different cellular devices. The leg is also removablly attached to the back of the main body and can be taken apart for allowing the connector to be replaced.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the snap on stand can also utilize a pin converter system allowing for the device to function as a 30 pin to 8 pin converter. Said device being able to accept both a 30 pin intut or an 8 pin input plug into the device itself. While some portable devices utilize an 8 pin plug system others utilize a more traditional 30 pin plug system. As such the snap on stand described herein can allow for the use of one plug or the other based upon its unique features. Additionally, such plugs could function as converter plugs allowing one to convert from a 30 pin to an 8 pin system or vise versa. It should be expected that when a new technology comes out that works better than the 8 pin apple will need to convert the 8 pins to the new style and this base would then handle the same function for the future conversions as well.
It is dually noted that said structure contains various open spaces within the various embodiments of the device itself and such openings have been created for the purpose of allowing the user to store small items therein. Such things as a small circular battery, a flat postage sized sim card, or even an aspirin or medical related pill can be placed into this device that functions not only as a support stand but also as a handy storage compartment for relatively small items that are easily lost if carried without a carry case. A mini timer could be attached to remind people to do things.
Where storage compartment space can also be utilized is with the additional feature of bluetooth functionality. Bluetooth technology is widely understood as a means of allowing for communication between two or more devices without the need for physical wire related connection. Herein, it is understood that bluetooth or any other form of wireless connectivity can be incorporated into this invention as a way of allowing for communication between said device and tablet or cell phone or any other related item that is in need of a support stand that would rely upon this invention.
The more important features of the invention have thus been outlined in order that the more detailed description that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may better be appreciated. Additional features of the invention will be described hereinafter and will form the subject matter of the claims that follow.
It is important to note that while said invention has been described for the usage with a cellular phone related device said invention is understood to be able to be forged in varying sized and thus have the ability to provide support for somewhat larger mobile devices such as tablets that are also currently available within the marketplace. Any newly created similarly functioning devices are also anticipated to be functional with this invention as such device discussed herein is understood to provide support for relatively flat technology screen devices that are unable to be positioned to stand upright on its own without the added features of an attachable and removable structure.
Before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways.
