DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. A collapsible stand 1 comprises a first member 10 and a second member 11. The first member 10 has a similar D shape and a hollow out containment portion 100. A first connecting portion 102 of the containment portion 100 further has an engaging portion 101 separately at two sides. The first connecting portion 102 has an inclined surface which is corresponding to the second member 11. Furthermore, the engaging portion 101 is configured for engaging with the second member 11.
The second member 11 comprises an accepting portion 113 with a slot 110, the second connecting portion 111 has an inclined surface which is corresponding to the first member 10. The first member 10 and the second member 11 of collapsible stand 1 are capable of being collapsed together or engaging with each other to provide a stable stand.
Please refer to FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. When the collapsible stand 1 is collapsed, the second connecting portion 111 of the second member 11 and the first connecting portion 102 of the first member 10 engage with each other, wherein the first connecting portion 102 and the second connecting portion 111 both have corresponding inclined surfaces for tight engagement.
However, corresponding surfaces of the first connecting portion 102 and the second connecting portion 111 can also be correspondingly threaded (as shown in FIG. 4) or correspondingly male and female relationship (as shown in FIG. 5).
Moreover, in order to improve the horizontal alignment between the first member 10 and the second member 11, the first connecting portion 102 of the first member 10 further has a indented portion 103, the second connecting portion 111 of the second member 11 further has a corresponding protruding portion (as shown in FIG. 6). Therefore, the second member 11 and the first member 10 can be more precisely collapsed together.
Please refer to FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10. The accepting portion 113 of the second member 11 can be adhered or printed with various designs or hollowed out with various designs 114. Similarly, one side of the first member 10 can also be adhered or printed with various designs or hollowed out with various designs 114.
As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, when the collapsible stand 1 is opened up, the second member 11 is engaged with the first member 10 at the engaging portion 101 of the first member 10. Since the second member 11 has a diameter larger than a distance between the two engaging portions 101 of the first connecting portion 102 of the first member 10, the second member 11 can be inserted between the two engaging portions 101 to form the stand 1. With the slot 110 of the second member 11, various portable device or tablet devices can be placed on the stand 1 stably.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the foregoing preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various equivalent variations and modifications can still occur to those skilled in this art in view of the teachings of the present invention. Thus, all such variations and equivalent modifications are also embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
