  An embodiment of a foldable cover of a tablet computer according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

(First embodiment)
A first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the lower case 10 is used to protect hardware inside a tablet computer. The outer shape of the peripheral frame 11 of the lower case 10 is an arc shape, and protects the tablet computer. The lower case 10 is provided with a plurality of holes, and the holes 14 correspond to the positions of the USB slots and are used for connection with external hardware. The holes 12 correspond to the position of the computer speaker and release the heat generated when the computer is activated. Several holes 13 are provided in the lower case 10.

  The upper cover 20 has a mutual fold. In the interlacing fold, the upper cover 20 is divided into three triangular portions A, B, C and two rectangular portions D, E. Two triangular portions A and C close to a right angle sandwich a triangular portion B close to an isosceles side. Each right triangle portion A, C has a rectangular portion D, E connected to the bottom.

(Second Embodiment)
A second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted. Moreover, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same component.
In the present embodiment, the upper cover 20 has parallel folds F and G parallel to the fold H.

  When the upper cover 20 is closed, the screen of the tablet computer is covered and the screen is protected (see FIG. 5).

  At the time of storage, the tablet computer 300 is placed on the lower case 10, and the upper cover 20 covers the tablet computer 300.

In use, the present embodiment has two types of folding systems, and the first type folding system shown in FIG. 4 is a system in which the upper cover 20 is folded along the intersection.
The second type folding method shown in FIG. 5 is a method in which the upper cover 20 is folded along parallel folds.

  Due to the combination of parallel folds and alternating folds, the upper cover 20 has more folding methods and can adapt to usage needs.

(Third embodiment)
A third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted. Moreover, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same component.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the two rectangular portions D and E are divided into a plurality of triangular portions L, M, N, and O by folds formed along diagonal lines.

(Fourth embodiment)
A fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Only the parts different from the second embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as that of the second embodiment will be omitted. Moreover, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same component.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the two rectangular portions D and E are divided into a plurality of triangular portions L, M, N, and O by folds formed along diagonal lines.
The present embodiment includes two types of folding systems, and the first type folding system shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is a system in which the upper cover 20 is folded along the intersection. Further, the second type folding method shown in FIG. 13 is a method in which the upper cover 20 is folded along parallel folds.

  After the upper cover 20 is folded, it can be combined with the lower case 10 to support the tablet computer 300. The tablet computer 300 can be horizontally or vertically, and the angle of the tablet computer 300 can be changed according to the needs of the user.

  In the above-described embodiment, the screen of the tablet computer 300 is protected by the upper cover 20 when stored, and the tablet computer 300 is supported by the upper cover 20 when used. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately prepare a support member for supporting the tablet computer 300, and the convenience for the user is improved.

  The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be applied to various embodiments without departing from the gist thereof.
