Abstract

An accessory device according to an embodiment may include: a housing; a locking member having an insertion groove and accommodated in the housing to be rotatable about a rotary shaft in a first rotation direction or a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction; and a holder having an insertion region inserted into the insertion groove. The locking member may further comprise a first protrusion and a second protrusion respectively extending from both sides of the insertion groove. The holder may further comprise a pressing region which, when the insertion region is inserted into the insertion groove, rotates the locking member in the first rotation direction by pressing the first protrusion, and a protrusion groove into which the second protrusion is inserted when the locking member rotates in the first rotation direction, to fix the holder and the locking member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An accessory device, comprising:
 a housing;   a locking member comprising an insertion groove and accommodated in the housing to be rotatable about a rotation axis in a first rotation direction or a second rotation direction opposite the first rotation direction; and   a holder having an insertion region configured to be inserted into the insertion groove,   wherein the locking member further comprises a first protrusion and a second protrusion respectively extending from both sides of the insertion groove, and   the holder further comprises a pressing region which, based on the insertion region being inserted into the insertion groove, is configured to rotate the locking member in the first rotation direction by pressing the first protrusion, and   a protrusion groove into which the second protrusion is configured to be inserted based on the locking member rotating in the first rotation direction to fix the holder and the locking member.   
     
     
         2 . The accessory device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the locking member further comprises   a lever protruding outside the housing and configured to rotate or move the locking member in response to being pressed by an external force.   
     
     
         3 . The accessory device of  claim 2 ,
 wherein the lever has a shape extending in a direction of the rotation axis of the locking member from an outside of the housing.   
     
     
         4 . The accessory device  401  of  claim 2 ,
 wherein the housing comprises 
 a holder opening provided at a position facing the insertion groove, and 
 a lever opening through which the lever is configured to be disposed, and opened along a radius of rotation of the lever. 
 
     
     
         5 . The accessory device of  claim 4 ,
 wherein the housing  451  further comprises:   an engaging region formed at an intermediate position of the radius of rotation of the lever on a surface facing the lever opening, and protruding in a direction of the lever opening.   
     
     
         6 . The accessory device of  claim 5 ,
 wherein the engaging region is formed in a plurality, and   the plurality of engaging regions is disposed to face each other on two sides of the housing facing the lever opening.   
     
     
         7 . The accessory device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the locking member comprises:   a pin having an end protruding outward from the housing, and   a support region disposed opposite the pin with respect to the insertion groove.   
     
     
         8 . The accessory device of  claim 7 ,
 the accessory device  401  further comprising:   a pin disposed in a direction facing the support region inside the housing and having an end protruding outward from the housing; and   an elastic member comprising a material configured to provide an compressible elastic force disposed between the pin and the support region of the locking member, and compressible in a direction of the rotation axis of the locking member.   
     
     
         9 . The accessory device of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the support region comprises   an inclined surface contacting an end of the elastic member.   
     
     
         10 . The accessory device of any  claim 9 ,
 wherein the inclined surface is configured to be   pressed by the elastic member to rotate the locking member in the second rotation direction.   
     
     
         11 . The accessory device of  claim 9 ,
 wherein the inclined surface is configured to be   inclined away from the elastic member as the inclined surface unfolds in a direction facing the holder.   
     
     
         12 . The accessory device of  claim 1 ,
 the accessory device further comprising:   a strap to which the holder is configured to be secured at an end.   
     
     
         13 . The accessory device of  claim 12 ,
 wherein the strap comprises:   a core contacting an end of the holder;   a first outer skin comprising a connecting surface contacting a surface opposite a surface where the insertion region of the holder is formed, and coupled to a surface of the core; and   a second outer skin coupled to the other surface of the core opposite the first outer skin.   
     
     
         14 . The accessory device of  claim 13 ,
 the accessory device further comprising:   a cap configured to mutually secure the connecting surface and the holder.   
     
     
         15 . The accessory device of  claim 13 ,
 wherein the holder further comprises a first uneven region uneven in a direction of the core, and   the core further comprises a second uneven region having a shape corresponding to the first uneven region and coupled with the first uneven region.   
     
     
         16 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a body comprising a pin dent;   an adapter comprising a locking member rotatably disposed in a first rotation direction or a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction along a rotation axis; and   a strap comprising a holder including an insertion region, and is detachable from the adapter,   wherein the locking member further comprises:   a pin region configured to be inserted into the pin dent, an insertion groove into which the insertion region is inserted, and a first protrusion and a second protrusion respectively extending from both sides of the insertion groove, and   the holder further comprises:   a pressing region which, based on the insertion region being inserted into the insertion groove, is configured to rotate the locking member in the first rotation direction by pressing the first protrusion, and   a protrusion groove, into which the second protrusion is configured to be inserted based on the locking member rotating in the first rotation direction to fix the holder and the locking member.   
     
     
         17 . The electronic device of  claim 16 , wherein:
 the locking member further comprises:   the lever protruding outside the housing and configured to rotate the locking member in a second rotation direction opposite the first rotation direction in response to being pressed by an external force.   
     
     
         18 . The electronic device of  claim 17 ,
 wherein the adapter further comprises:   the lever opening through which the lever is disposed, and opened along a radius of rotation of the lever; and   an engaging region formed at an intermediate position of the radius of rotation of the lever on a surface facing the lever opening, and protruding in a direction of the lever opening.
