1 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a fixing unit 100 for fixing a selfie stick structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the fixing unit 100 according to the present embodiment may be a mechanism for fixing the selfie stick structure 200 . The selfie stick structure 200 includes a holder (ie, a terminal fixing unit) (not shown) that can hold a portable terminal (eg, a smartphone, etc.) for taking a photo and a rod 220 connected to the holder. may include In FIG. 1 , only a portion of the lower end of the bar 220 in the selfie stick structure 200 is shown. The overall structure of the selfie stick structure 200 may be, for example, as shown in FIG. 2 .

Referring to FIG. 2 , the selfie stick structure 200 may include a holder 210 that can mount a portable terminal for taking a picture, and a rod 220 connected to the holder 210 . The rod 220 may have a tripod structure 220b that can be folded and unfolded. For example, the bar 220 may include a central pillar 220a and a tripod structure 220b that can be folded and unfolded with respect to the central pillar 220a. 2 shows a state in which the tripod structure 220b is unfolded. In a state in which the tripod structure 220b is folded, the rod 220 may have a rod or pole shape. If necessary, the tripod structure 220b may be folded or unfolded. Such a selfie stick structure 200 may be referred to as a 'tripod type selfie stick structure'. The length of the rod 220 may be configured to be extendable as needed. The specific structure of the selfie stick structure 200 shown in FIG. 2 is exemplary, and it may be variously modified.

In the selfie stick structure 200 as shown in FIG. 2 , the rod 220 in the folded state of the tripod structure 220b may be fastened to the fixing unit 100 of FIG. 1 .

Referring back to FIG. 1 , the fixing unit 100 is coupled to the upper end of the fixing pin 110 and the fixing pin 110 that can be fixed by being inserted into the ground (ground), and is fastened with the selfie stick structure 200 . It may include a fastening part 120 . The fixing pin 110 may have a shape similar to a nail or a pin having a sharp lower end. The fixing pin 110 may be made of a material that does not rust, such as stainless steel, iron, or zinc plating.

The fastening part 120 is a fixing screw part ( 121) may be included. By rotating the fixing screw part 121 in a state in which the rod part 220 is inserted into the insertion groove G10, the rod part 220 can be easily fixed to the groove housing 120a. The fixing screw part 121 may include a bolt part and a handle part connected to the bolt part. A guide groove g1 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the rod 220 so that the bolt portion of the fixing screw 121 is easily caught and tightened. The guide groove g1 may be formed at a position (height) corresponding to the fixing screw 121 . The guide groove g1 may have a ring shape or a partial ring shape.

In the fastening part 120 , a connection part 120b directly surrounding the upper end of the fixing pin part 110 may be provided under the groove housing 120a. The connection part 120b may be referred to as a 'lower structure' of the fastening unit 120 , and the groove housing 120a may be referred to as an 'upper structure' of the fastening unit 120 . The connection part 120b may be formed to have a smaller width (diameter) than the groove housing 120a. Since the size of the connection part 120b is not unnecessarily enlarged, weight and production cost can be reduced. The groove housing 120a and the connection part 120b of the fastening part 120 may be formed of various plastic materials such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), MC nylon (monomer casting nylon), and the like.

When the rod part 220 is inserted into the insertion groove G10, a crack t1 is formed at the end of the rod part 220 by the folded tripod structure of the rod part 220 (the structure in which 220b of FIG. 2 is folded). can be formed. The fastening part 120 may further include a protrusion P1 that protrudes vertically from the center of the bottom surface of the insertion groove G10, and the protrusion P1 is the bar 220 inserted into the insertion groove G10. It may be inserted between the cracks t1. By widening the end of the tripod structure (the structure in which 220b of FIG. 2 is folded) folded by the protrusion P1, the fixing effect by tightening can be increased. By using the fastening effect by the fixing screw portion 121 and the tightening effect by the protrusion P1 together, the selfie stick structure 200 can be more strongly and firmly fixed.

Reference numeral 130 denotes a protector surrounding the pointed end (lower end) of the fixing pin 110 . When the fixing unit 100 is stored, it can be stored in a state in which the pointed end of the fixing pin 110 is covered with the protector 130 . When the fixing unit 100 is used, the protector 130 may be removed and the fixing pin 110 may be inserted into the ground for use. The protector 130 may be formed of leather or a similar material.

Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the fixing unit (100A) for fixing the selfie stick structure according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the fixing unit 100A according to the present exemplary embodiment may have a protrusion P2 having a deformed shape from the protrusion P1 described with reference to FIG. 1 . The protrusion P2 may be provided perpendicularly to the center of the bottom surface of the insertion groove G10, and may have a shape that becomes narrower as it goes away from the bottom surface, that is, a tapered shape. When the protrusion P2 has a tapered shape, when the rod 220 is inserted into the insertion groove G10, the rod 220 by the folded tripod structure (the structure in which 220b in FIG. 2 is folded). The protrusion P2 may be easily introduced into the gap t1 defined at the end of the . Accordingly, in this regard, the fastening process can be made easier. Since the lower end of the protrusion P2 has a relatively wide width, the fixing effect by tightening can be increased by widening the end of the folded tripod structure (the structure in which 220b of FIG. 2 is folded).

In FIG. 3 , except for the structure of the protrusion P2 , the remaining components may be the same as those described in FIG. 1 , and thus detailed descriptions of the remaining components will be omitted.
