DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. A stand 1 comprises a front body 10 and a rear body 11. The front body 10 has a similar J shape which includes a bended containment slot 100 at one end and a connecting portion 101 with two stopping portions 102 at each ends at another end. A back portion 103 is disposed between the connecting portion 101 and the containment slot 100. The connecting portion 101 correspondingly engages with an engaging portion 110 of the rear body 11.

The rear body 11 has a hollow out portion 112 at its surface and the engaging portion 110 at an end. A positioning column 111 is disposed at each end of the engaging portion 110, the engaging portion 110 is capable of engaging with the connecting portion 101 of the front body 10. When the front body 10 engages with the rear body 11, the stand 1 can be rotated to open or close.

Please refer FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. The connecting portion 101 of the front body 10 further has the stopping portion 102 with a larger diameter at two ends of the connecting portion 101, and a first positioning slot 1020 and a second positioning slot 1021 are separately disposed on a circular side of the stopping portion 102 at a predetermined location. The first positioning slot 1020 and the second positioning slot 1021 are configured for corresponding to the positioning column 111 of the rear body 11.

The first positioning slot 1020 and the second positioning slot 1021 are separated from each other, when the engaging portion 110 of the rear body 11 engages with the connecting portion 101 of the front body 10, the positioning column 111 of the rear body 11 are inserted into the two stopping portion 102 of the connecting portion 101 of the front body 10.

Therefore, When the front body 10 and the rear body 11 are opened apart, the rear body 11 is rotated to insert the positioning column 111 into the first positioning slot 1020 of the stopping portion 102 of the front body 10, to prevent the stand 1 from moving or shaking.

When the front body 10 and the rear body 11 are closed together, the rear body 11 is rotated to insert the positioning column 111 into the second positioning slot 1021 of the second positioning slot 1021, to collapse the stand 1 securely.

Please refer FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. The front body 10 of the stand 1 has a back portion 103, and the back portion 103 is configured for accepting ornamental object 104 which can be printed or adhered with various designs.

Furthermore, the stopping portion 103 can also has hollow out portions for various designs.

Please refer FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. The stand 1 is opened as a triangle shape, the containment slot 100 of the front body 10 is configured for accepting a portable device 2. Alternatively, by turning the stand 1 upside down, the portable device 2 can also be place on the stand 1 while it is charging. The portable device 2 is placed on a back side of the front body 10 and connected to a power charger 20, the adapter 20 is wrapped around the rear body 112 and plugged on a power socket through the hollow out portion 112 of the rear body 11, and the rear body 11 is hanged on adapter 20.

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.
