Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to supporting structures, in
particular to a supporting frame for supporting a flat electronic
device or a flat computer. Furthermore, the installation of the
device or the computer to the supporting frame is easy and
quick.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Notebook computers have the advantages of compactness and
portability so that they are widely acceptable by people. However,
to have wide view angles or exhibition angles, the supporting
frames are provided for the notebooks.
[0003] A current notebook computer has a substrate for installation
of the mainframe of the notebook computer. The top end thereof has
a supporting plate for supporting the substrate.
[0004] However, with the progress of the technologies, the flat
computers are more and more popular, while the prior art supporting
frame is not sufficient for supporting of the current flat
computer. If the flat computer is located to the prior art
supporting frame, the flat computer is possible to fall down and
thus it is destroyed. Thus there is a necessity for a novel
supporting frame which is suitable for a novel flat computer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a
supporting frame for supporting a flat electronic device or a flat
computer. Furthermore, the installation of the device or the
computer to the supporting frame is easy and quick.
[0006] Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to
provide a supporting frame, comprising a bottom plate; two lateral
plates capable of being installed to two lateral sides of the
bottom plate; and two supporting plates capable of being installed
to two ends of the bottom plate; and a free end of one supporting
plate being resisted against another supporting plate. Each of an
upper side and a lower side of the bottom plate is installed with a
receiving hole; a rod body is installed in the receiving hole; each
supporting plate has a respective hook for hooking the rod body.
Each lateral plate has an inward recess, each inward recess is
installed with a pivotal rod, respectively; and each lateral plate
has a hook portion; each hook portion is selectively installed to
the pivotal rod so that the lateral plates can be detached to the
bottom plate as desired. One side of each lateral plate 3 has a
press portion. Each supporting plate has plurality of positioning
recesses, and a free end of another supporting plate can be buckled
to one of the recess. The bottom plate has two through holes; each
through hole for retaining a supporting rod. Each through hole is
installed with a rod body; and the supporting rod has a hook unit
which can hook the rod body in the through hole. The bottom plate
is formed with two holding holes. Each holding hole is formed
adjacent a respective one of two inward recesses.
[0007] The various objects and advantages of the present invention
will be more readily understood from the following detailed
description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the supporting
frame of the present invention.
[0009] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the present invention, where
the supporting frame of the present invention is not expanded.
[0010] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the present invention, where
the supporting frame of the present invention is expanded.
[0011] FIG. 4 shows another perspective view of the present
invention, where the supporting frame of the present invention is
expanded.
[0012] FIG. 5 shows the use of the present invention, where the
supporting frame of the present invention serves to support a flat
computer.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] In order that those skilled in the art can further
understand the present invention, a description will be provided in
the following in details. However, these descriptions and the
appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art
to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the
present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and
spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
[0014] Referring to FIG. 4, the supporting frame of the present
invention is illustrated.
[0015] A bottom plate 1 has two lateral sides. Each lateral side of
the bottom plate 1 is formed with an inward recess 10. Each inward
recess 10 is installed with a pivotal rod 11, respectively. Each of
an upper side and a lower side of the bottom plate 1 is installed
with a receiving hole 14. A rod body 15 is installed in the
receiving hole 14. The plate body of the bottom plate 1 is formed
with two holding holes 16 each being adjacent to a respective one
of the two inward recesses 10 and two through holes 12 at two
opposite sides of the receiving hole 14 at the lower side. Each
through hole 12 is installed with a stand rod 13.
[0016] Two supporting plates 2 are installed at a front side and a
rear side of the bottom plate 1, respectively. Each supporting
plate 2 has a respective hook 20 for hooking the rod body 15 so
that the supporting plates 2 can be hooked to the bottom plate 1 as
desired. Each supporting plate 2 has a plurality of wrinkles so as
to be formed with a plurality of recesses 21.
[0017] Two lateral plates 3 each has a hook portion 30. Each hook
portion 30 is selectively installed to the pivotal rod 11 so that
the lateral plates 3 can be detached to the bottom plate 1 as
desired. One side of each lateral plate 3 has a press portion
31.
[0018] Two supporting rods 4 are included. Each supporting rod 4
has a hook unit 40 at one end thereof. The hook unit 40 can be
hooked to the stand rod 13 so that the supporting rod 4 is
selectively detached or attached to the bottom plate 1.
[0019] Referring to FIG. 5, it is illustrated that a flat computer
5 or a flat electronic device is installed to the bottom plate 1.
The two supporting plates 2 serve to adjust the stand angle of the
bottom plate 1. After adjustment, a free end of one supporting
plate 2 is buckled to one recess 21 of another supporting plate 2,
while the supporting rods 4 are pulled out from the through holes
12 so that the flat computer 5 can be supported properly and can
not fall down from the supporting frame.
[0020] To have a better retaining effect to the flat computer, the
press portions 31 of the lateral plates 3 can be pressed towards
the edges of the flat computer, so that the flat computer 5 can be
retained with a better effect.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 2, if it is desired to take out the flat
computer from the frame, the flat computer 5 is taken out from the
bottom plate 1, and the supporting rods 4 are pushed out of the
through holes 14 so that the one supporting plate 2 is adhered to a
lateral side of the bottom plate 1, and another supporting plate 2
is detached and then is installed to another lateral side of the
bottom plate 1. Then the supporting plate 2 is adhered to the
lateral side. The user can hold the frame by hands to pass through
the hold hole 16.
[0022] The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious
that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not
to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the
present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious
to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the
scope of the following claims.
