Abstract[English]
A protective phone case is disclosed, comprising at least one inner layer and at least one outer layer, wherein the layers are separated by one or more gaps configured to absorb shock through controlled bending and sliding rather than material compression. The inner layer, composed of semi-rigid or rigid material, deforms temporarily into the gap upon impact, reducing transmitted forces. Variations include wavy or undulating structures in the inner layer, multi-piece or multi-layer configurations, and structures that allow flattening and frictional dissipation. The case may incorporate acoustic tunnels to redirect speaker output and structural lips to protect camera lenses. The protective design offers greater rigidity and thinner construction than conventional cases, allowing reduced size and weight while preserving or enhancing shock absorption.[French]
L'invention concerne un étui de protection pour téléphone, comprenant au moins une couche interne et au moins une couche externe, les couches étant séparées par un ou plusieurs espaces configurés pour absorber un choc par courbure et coulissement contrôlés plutôt que par compression de matériau. La couche interne, composée d'un matériau semi-rigide ou rigide, se déforme temporairement dans l'espace lors de l'impact, réduisant les forces transmises. Les variations comprennent des structures ondulées ou ondulées dans la couche interne, des configurations multipièces ou multicouches, et des structures qui permettent l'aplatissement et la dissipation par frottement. L'étui peut incorporer des tunnels acoustiques destinés à rediriger la sortie de haut-parleur et les lèvres structurales pour protéger des lentilles d'appareil de prise de vues. La conception de protection offre une plus grande rigidité et une construction plus mince que les étuis classiques, ce qui permet une taille et un poids réduits tout en préservant ou en améliorant l'absorption des chocs.
