Carry assembly for portable electronic device

Abstract

A carry assembly for a portable electronic device includes a holster ( 20 ), a protrusion ( 23 ) formed on the holster ( 20 ), a clip support member ( 30 ) pivotally attached to the holster ( 20 ) and a positioning member ( 70 ). A spring ( 60 ) is received in the protrusion ( 23 ). The clip support member ( 30 ) includes an opening ( 31 ) having a plurality of grooves ( 33 ). The positioning member ( 70 ) is disposed between the grooves ( 33 ) and the spring ( 60 ). Wherein rotation of the holster ( 20 ) from one position to other position moves the positioning member ( 70 ) from one of the grooves ( 33 ) into other, thereby locking the holster ( 20 ) into position.

1 . A carry assembly for an electronic device comprising: 
 a holster for carry a portable electronic device;    a spring received in the holster;    a clip support member pivotally attached to the holster defining an opening having a plurality of grooves; and    a positioning member disposed between the grooves and the spring, wherein rotation of the holster from one position to another position moves the positioning member from one of the grooves into another, thereby locking the holster into position.    
   
   
       2 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 1 , wherein a protrusion is formed on the holster, and a receiving channel is defined in the protrusion for the spring received therein.  
   
   
       3 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 2 , wherein the protrusion is rounded.  
   
   
       4 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning member is not deformable.  
   
   
       5 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning member is a steel column.  
   
   
       6 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 1 , wherein a ridge for preventing the holster over-rotating is formed on the holster.  
   
   
       7 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 1 , further comprising a clip pivotally attached to the clip support member, and an elastic member is disposed between the clip and the clip support member.  
   
   
       8 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 7 , wherein the clip comprises a post and the elastic member comprises a hole for the post protruding therethrough.  
   
   
       9 . A carry assembly for a portable electronic device of an electronic device comprising: 
 a clip support member comprising an opening having a plurality of grooves;    a holster pivotally attached to the clip support member; and    a retractable positioning member received between the clip support member and the holster, thereby defining a relative angle between the clip support member and the holster; wherein the rotation of the holster forces the positioning member to retract and move from one of the plurality grooves to other groove to lock the holster in position.    
   
   
       10 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 9 , further comprising a protrusion for pivotally mating with the opening of the clip support member.  
   
   
       11 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 10 , wherein the protrusion is rounded.  
   
   
       12 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 10 , wherein the protrusion comprises a receiving channel for a spring received therein.  
   
   
       13 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 12 , wherein the positioning member is a steel column disposed between one of the plurality grooves and the spring.  
   
   
       14 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 10 , wherein a ridge for preventing the holster over-rotating is formed under the protrusion.  
   
   
       15 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 9 , wherein the positioning member is rigid enough not to be distorted.  
   
   
       16 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 9 , further comprising a clip pivotally attached to the clip support member, and an elastic member is disposed between the clip and the clip support member.  
   
   
       17 . The carry assembly for a portable electronic device as described in  claim 16 , wherein the clip comprises a post, and the elastic member comprises a hole for the post protruding therethrough.  
   
   
       18 . An assembly for carrying an electronic device, comprising: 
 a container of said assembly having an inner space to receive an electronic device therein;    a support member movably attachable to said container and capable of being further attachable to a user of said electronic device, said container capable of being movable to at least two orientations thereof relative to said support member and getting in position along each of said at least two orientations; and    a stopper formed at one of said container and said support member, and facing and interferingly interactive with the other of said container and said support member so as to restrain said container from moving to undesired orientations thereof relative to said support member.
