Abstract

A support system for computer devices such as tablet-style computers, comprises a base that can be screwed or bolted to a stationary object or which can be attached to a person's body with straps. The base provides a hinge, and extendible arm which supports the base to which the tablet-style computer is affixed, either immovably or rotatably. The support system allows a person to use a tablet-style computer without having to hold it in one's hand and with the hands being free for quickly switching between use of the computer and other tasks.

Description

For the flexible bracing frame of flat computer

application case related data

The right of priority of the application's case request U.S. Provisional Patent Application case, case number is 61/579,848, applies on Dec 23rd, 2011; This case is all quoted the disclosure as this instructions in full.

background of invention

The invention provides a kind of support system for computer equipment, espespecially a kind of flexible bracing frame for flat computer, can be supported on any firm object or wall flat computer, or even the people who is moving.

Handheld device, especially dull and stereotyped personal electronic equipments is very universal.These equipment need to rely on both hands to use conventionally, and while especially wanting to input data and operation interface, with the hands gripping for a long time these electronic equipments is really difficulty.And, when people stay at home, office or similar site be while moving, in advancing, always wish that both hands can process different things and can use fast again individual flat computer.

Brief summary of the invention

The object of the invention is providing a kind of bracing frame of flat or similar electronic equipment, and it is support electronic equipment and have changeableization neatly.

Other objects of the present invention are, a kind of support system of computer equipment is provided, for example: flat computer, comprise a pedestal, object that can be motionless with one is spirally connected, or utilizes braces to tie up on the person.This pedestal has a sway brace containing hinge, is connected to for supporting a pedestal object that flat computer can be fixing, no matter is that fix or rotating.This hinge support arm can be at 0 degree to exceeding pivotable between 180 degree, and the user who makes this support system, in the time using flat computer, need with hands grasping, and make both hands can use freely computing machine or change rapidly other work.

By the following description and consult appended graphicly, further feature of the present invention and advantage will be more clear and easy to understand.

diagram describes in detail

Refer to shown in Fig. 1, this support frame for tablet computer 10 comprises a pedestal 12, establishes screw or bolt hole 14 on it, for example, to be fixed on a motionless object: desk, wall or similar object.This base side edge joint left and right sidewall 13 of ining succession.

The bottom of this pedestal 12 or a side are established a linkage 16, tool one knob 18 rotates sway brace 26 rotor foldings, in the time being switched to make-position, this sway brace 26 is roughly parallel with pedestal 12, in the time being switched to open site, its angle can be adjusted arbitrarily by 0 degree to 180 degree, even arrives larger angle.A spine 24 is established in linkage 16 inside, makes the angle position of sway brace 26 by strong fix.One saddle 28 extends in the groove 26a of sway brace 26, and can be in the inside of groove near or leave pedestal 12 and slide.This saddle 28 supports base or the platform 22 of a flat computer, can be by

devil's felt and flat computer 20 link, or utilize the pivot that is positioned at center, make flat computer 20 with clockwise or counter clockwise direction, around the center rotating of platform 22.

In the collapse state showing at Fig. 5, have a locking plate 38 and lockset 42 bridle joints on flat computer 20, this lockset 42 is near the top of pedestal 12, and has a lock pin 44 to engage with the opening of locking plate 38.

Fig. 2 display panel computing machine 20 slides into the position near pedestal 12.The sliding position operable locks tool 30 of Fig. 1 display panel computing machine is fixed, and this lockset 30 has a hinged arm 32 and pivot 34 hinged, and has a cam 36, in order to prop up saddle 28 and then to fix the position of its slip.

Fig. 3 display panel computing machine 20 has been exceeded 90 degree by pivotable, and when pedestal 12 is fixed on the situation of wall or desk, perhaps this is angle as snug as a bug in a rug.But as shown in Figure 3, four corners of pedestal 12 are all established fluted flange 15 and can be passed for braces 40.This braces 40 comprises

braces

46a, 46b and lower braces 52a, 52b.Lower braces is all established female lock 54a, the 54b of automotive seat pattern, in order to accept corresponding public snap close 48a, 48b, makes pedestal 12 together with supported flat computer, can, in the mode of simple and easy identification, utilize braces to tie up on the person.Article two,

braces

46a, 46b can intersect mutually, to prevent that bracing frame 10 from rotating around user's health.

Fig. 4 and Fig. 3 are similar, and difference is, display panel computing machine 20 extends to longer position.Fig. 5 shows the state folding, but the fixed bar of lockset 30 does not lock.Fig. 6 shows that the fixed bar of lockset 30 presents locking state.

Fig. 7 demonstration and the similar pedestal 12 of previous embodiment, but with outward appearance position, contrast with the embodiment of the present invention, it is highly slightly short, but width is slightly large.

Though be not shown in figure, the sway brace 26 of Fig. 1 can be made the structure with Telescopic, extends to provide greatly.

Although the present invention is described with regard to its specific embodiment, should easily understand for the people who is skillful in this art, many other change and improvement and other usages all can be done, and do not deviate from the appended scope of flying that claim is protected of the present invention.
