Description

Cradle of vehicle user terminal

The present invention relates to a cradle of a vehicle user terminal, and more particularly, to a cradle of a vehicle user terminal that can be firmly coupled to a vehicle tuyere of various shapes and specifications by adjusting the coupling angle.

In general, recently commercialized mobile phones have been widely used as a combination of various functions such as video function, Internet search function, game function, navigation function according to the development of information technology. Typically, such a smartphone uses the other hand in a state in which the user grips with one hand, for example, operates the smartphone through a touch action, or uses a smartphone in the state of holding and watching a video or a game. Will be performed.

In this way, the use of the smartphone is limited in that the smartphone must be used in a state of holding by one hand. A typical example is the use of a smartphone while driving a vehicle. Many people use their smartphones for phone calls, navigation, etc. while driving, but if you hold your smartphone with one hand, you may not be able to drive safely. can do.

In order to solve this problem, various cradles for mounting a user terminal such as a smart phone have been proposed. In this regard, Figure 1 shows a cradle of a conventional vehicle user terminal. Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional holder 100 may be attached to or detached from a dashboard or a glass window of a vehicle by adhesion, vacuum adsorption, and the like, and also a smartphone is mounted on the holder 100 through a gripper having a tong shape. You can do that. In that the cradle 100 can be mounted stably in a fixed position, by eliminating the need for direct gripping by the user, it was possible to greatly improve the user convenience, such as safe driving.

However, since the conventional cradle 100 is attached to a dashboard or a glass window, there is a problem that greatly hinders the eyes of the user. In addition, even in the dashboard or glass window (for example, due to the bending of the adhesive surface) there was a problem that the bonding position is limited or not easily changed, in that the smartphone is mounted through the grip portion of the tongs, Once placed, there was an inconvenience in use even in the arrangement or detachment. In particular, despite occupying a small size, there was a limit to play a limited role of mounting the smartphone in the vehicle.
