Abstract:
A cradle comprises: a main body including a seating portion in which earbuds are stably seated; a folder body switchable between a closed state in which the seating portion is covered and an opened state in which the seating portion is opened; and a hinge part for hinge-coupling the folder body to the main body, wherein the hinge part includes: a first hinge coupled with the main body; a second hinge coupled with the folder body; a shaft extending through the first hinge and the second hinge; a first magnet coupled to the first hinge; and a second magnet coupled to the second hinge or the folder body, wherein the first magnet and the second magnet are disposed to maintain repulsive force when the closed state is switched to the opened state.
