Protective cover with support function

The invention relates to a protective cover covering an electronic device, in particular to a protective cover having a supporting function.

Tablet PCs are now very popular because they are very thin and easy to carry around. However, the screen of the tablet does not have any protection when it is carried, which causes the screen to be easily scratched. Therefore, when the user does not use the tablet, the tablet is usually placed in a protective cover.

In addition, when the user performs a function such as playing a movie on the tablet, since the tablet itself does not have any supporting structure, it cannot be placed obliquely on a desktop. The user needs to additionally set up a support frame for the tablet, which is inconvenient to use.

In order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a protective cover having a supporting function, which not only protects the electronic device but also supports the electronic device at an oblique angle.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a protective cover having a supporting function for covering an electronic device. The protective cover includes a first body, a first support base unit, a connecting member, a second body, and a second support base unit. The electronic device can be attached to the first body and the second body. The first support base unit is rotatably disposed in the first book Body and includes a first magnetic element. The connector is coupled to the first body. The second body is connected to the connector and disposed on the electronic device. The second support base unit is rotatably disposed on the second body and includes a second magnetic element. When the first support base unit is adjacent to the second support base unit, a magnetic attraction force is generated between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element to connect the first support base unit to the second support base unit. When the first support base unit is adjacent to the second support base unit, a magnetic force is generated between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component to connect the first support base unit to the second support When the first body and the second body form a V-shaped structure, the second body supports the electronic device at an oblique angle.

In summary, the protective cover of the present invention can not only provide protection by covering the electronic device, but also support the electronic device at an oblique angle after the first body and the second body of the protective cover form a V-shaped structure. Therefore, the user can support the electronic device by using the protective cover originally used for covering the electronic device, and the utility model can improve the convenience of use without separately providing the support frame.
