This disclosure relates to a support frame for an electronic product and in particular relates to a support frame with an adjustable elevation angle.
A support frame is used to support the electronic product for the user in which the electronic product can be the smart mobile phone or the tablet.
The related-art support frame is used to support the electronic product with an elevation angle. However, the elevation angle is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the various use modes of the electronic product. As a result, the related-art support frame is only proper for a certain use mode and the user's hands are still required in the other use modes. Consequently, the user's hands become strained, which has been criticized for a long time. The above-mentioned use modes include watching videos, playing mobile games, reading information, browsing web pages, and typing. The desired elevation angle of the electronic product differs for different use modes.
The objective of this disclosure is to provide a support frame with an adjustable elevation angle.
In order to achieve the above objective, this disclosure provides a support frame with an adjustable elevation angle, which includes a plate body, a positioning part, a first supporting piece, and a second supporting piece. The plate body has a plurality of positioning locations. The positioning part is moveably connected and positioned with one of the positioning locations. The first supporting piece is connected to the plate body. The second supporting piece is connected between the first supporting piece and the positioning part. The positioning part is connected and positioned with one of the positioning locations according to a predetermined elevation angle. The first supporting piece supports between the plate body and the second supporting piece. The second supporting piece supports between the first supporting piece and the positioning part.
Compared with the related are, this disclosure has the following effects. The elevation angle of the electronic product may be freely adjusted according to user's needs such that the electronic product may be supported and used in different use modes by the adjustment of the elevation angle.
The detailed description and technical details of this disclosure are explained below with reference to accompanying figures. However, the accompanying figures are for reference and explanation only, but not to limit the scope of this disclosure.
As shown in
As shown in
The plate body 1 may be a single-piece plate body (not shown in figures) or a multi-piece plate body (shown in figures) that includes a first plate 11 and a second plate 12. The first plate 11 and the second plate 12 may be connected to each other in various practical ways. In this embodiment, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are stacked and fixed with each other as an example for explanation.
The first plate 11 has a front side 111 and a back side 112 opposite to each other (referring to
The forming method of the positioning region 1121 in this disclosure is not limited. For example, a plurality of clip fasteners (not shown in figures) may be disposed on the back side 112 or a plurality of magnet parts (not shown in figures) may be embedded in the first plate 11. In some embodiments, both of the magnet parts and the magnet-attractable parts may be embedded. In this embodiment, a magnet-attractable part (referring to
The positioning part 2 is used for the user to moveably select one of the above-mentioned positioning locations for mutual connection and positioning. The positioning method of the positioning part 2 is not limited in this disclosure. For example, a pair of corresponding clip fasteners (not shown in figures) may be disposed on the positioning part 2 such that the positioning part 2 and any one of the above-mentioned clip fasteners may be snapped with each other to be positioned, or a magnet-attractable part (not shown in figures) may be embedded in the positioning part 2 such that the positioning part 2 and any one of the above-mentioned magnetic parts may be attracted with each other to be positioned. In this embodiment, the positioning part 2 embedded with a magnet part M1 (referring to
It must be noted that the positioning part 2 may be in a sheet form and slidably attached with the back side 112 of the first plate 11. The positioning part 2 may be magnetically attracted to any one of the positioning locations in a manner of attachment and sliding. Moreover, as shown in
The connection method among the body plate 1, the positioning part 2, the first supporting piece 3, and the second supporting piece 4 are not limited in this disclosure and the connection method described below is used as an example in this embodiment. As shown in
Therefore, as shown in
The elevation angle of the support frame 100 of this disclosure may be freely adjusted according to user's needs, which fulfills the requirements of various electronic products supported and used in different use modes in different elevation angles. For instance, those use modes include watching videos, playing mobile games, reading information, browsing web pages, and typing.
In addition, as shown in
The connector 5 is electrically connected to the wireless charging module 6, both of which are disposed on the plate body 1. The user may provide power for the wireless charging module 6 by plugging a transmission cable 800 into the connector 5, the wireless charging module 6 may perform wireless charging for the electronic device 900a in close contact with the plate body 1.
Moreover, the plate body 1 further includes a protrusion 1a or protrudes to form a protrusion 1a such that a recess portion 1b is formed on the plate body 1 corresponding to the protrusion 1a. A thick edge 1c is formed on the plate body 1 corresponding to the recess portion 1b. The connector 5 is embedded in the plate body 1 and has a port 51. The port 51 is exposed from the thick edge 1c. The wireless charging module 6 may be disposed solely on the protrusion 1a or disposed solely on the plate body 1 except the protrusion 1a. In this embodiment, two wireless charging modules 6 disposed respectively on the protrusion 1a and on the plate body 1 except the protrusion 1a are used as an example for explanation.
It is worth explaining that the plug (not shown in figures) of the transmission cable 800 may be secured in the recess portion 1b as shown in
In this way, one of the two wireless charging modules 6 may perform wireless charging for the electronic device 900a (e.g., the smart mobile phone and the tablet) in close contact with the front side 111 of the plate body 1. The other one of the two wireless charging modules 6 may perform wireless charging for the electronic device 900b (e.g., the smart watch and the smart bracelet) surrounding and hung on the protrusion 1a. It must be noted that the electronic device 900b surrounding and hung on the protrusion 1a may also be supported by the support frame 100 with the desired elevation angle and the user may operate the electronic device 900b in such a situation. In some embodiments, to make the electronic device 900b easily and magnetically attracted by the protrusion 1a, the protrusion 1a may be provided with a magnet part M2 such that the electronic device 900b surrounding and hung on the protrusion 1a may be positioned through the magnetic attraction between the backside of the watch and the front side of the protrusion 1a, which facilitates the wireless charging of the wireless charging module 6.
When the protrusion 1a is not supporting the electronic device 900a, a magnet part M3 may be added. The magnet part M3 may be removably and magnetically attracted on the front side 111 of the plate body 1. A note paper (not shown in figures) may be sandwiched and positioned between the magnet part M3 and the front side 111. Thus, the effect of positioning the note paper is improved. When the magnet part M3 is not used, the magnet part M3 may be temporarily and magnetically attracted on the front side of the protrusion 1a as shown in
In summary, the support frame with an adjustable elevation angle of this disclosure indeed achieves the expected objectives and overcomes the disadvantages of the related art.
Although this disclosure has been described with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood that the disclosure 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 this disclosure. Thus, all such variations and equivalent modifications are also embraced within the scope of this disclosure as defined in the appended claims.
