Figure 2 is a schematic exploded view of the stent of Figure 1. 3 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the stent of FIG. 1. 4 and FIG. 5 are schematic perspective views of the bracket along the line AA of FIG. 3 in a first position and a second position.

The present invention provides a bracket 1 for use in an electronic device 2. The stent 1 of the present embodiment includes a body 10, a support member 12, and a positioning shaft 14.

The body 10 has an accommodating space 102, and the electronic device 2 is disposed in the accommodating space 102. Therefore, the accommodating space 102 is an appearance of the electronic device 2 . The electronic device 2 of the present embodiment can be, for example, a mobile phone, an e-reader, or a tablet computer. This embodiment is exemplified by a tablet computer, but is not limited thereto.

The support member 12 is disposed on one side of the body 10. In addition, the support member 12 of the present embodiment is rotatable relative to the body 10 and can be disposed on the other side of the opposite accommodation space 102 and transmitted through the rotation support member 12 to enable the electronic device 2 to exhibit different upright angles.

In addition, the support member 12 of the present embodiment may further include a handle portion 122, and the purpose thereof is that when the user does not need to place the electronic device 2 on the table top, the support member 12 can be rotated to be parallel with the body 10 (presenting the storage state) The user can directly grasp the electronic device 2 through the handle portion 122 without additional auxiliary members.

Next, with particular reference to FIG. 4, the support member 12 has a through hole 124. The through hole 124 includes a positioning section 124A and a rotating section 124B (refer to FIG. 4 in particular), and the inner diameter of the rotating section 124B is larger than the inner diameter of the positioning section 124A.

The positioning shaft 14 is movably disposed on the through hole 124 of the support member 12, and the positioning shaft 14 can include a pressing portion 142 and a fitting portion 144, and the pressing portion 142 is coupled to the fitting portion 144. Moreover, the positioning shaft 14 can selectively rotate the support member 12 relative to the body 10, in other words, the support member 12 can be rotated relative to the body 10 with the positioning shaft as an axis.

In detail, the outer diameter of the fitting portion 144 of the present embodiment can match the inner diameter of the positioning portion 124A of the through hole 124. Preferably, the outer diameter of the fitting portion 144 of the embodiment is more compatible with The positioning section 124A of the through hole 124 has the same inner diameter shape and size.

It is to be noted that the term "same size" as used herein means that at least a portion of the outer diameter of the abutting portion 144 is engageable with the through hole 124. For example, if the through hole 124 is a hexagonal cylinder, if the fitting portion 144 is a triangular column or a hexagonal column, each of the column corners can be engaged with the column angles of the through holes 124. In addition, the shape of the tight fitting portion 144 can be specially designed as an equiangular column to facilitate the user to conveniently judge the angular extent of the rotation of the support member 12.

In addition, in the embodiment, the bracket 1 further includes an elastic member 18 disposed on the through hole 124 of the support member 12 and capable of abutting the fitting portion 144 of the shaft 14 . And the elastic element 18 here can be a spring or a spring piece.

Moreover, in the embodiment, the pivoting member 16 is further disposed between the body 10 and the support member 12. In other words, the support member 12 of the present embodiment is fixed to the body 10 through the pivoting member 16.

In this embodiment, the U-shaped structure of the pivoting member 16 is taken as an example, and the pivoting member 16 includes pivoting holes 162a and 162b. The pivoting holes 162a and 162b are respectively disposed at two ends of the pivoting member 16U and are pivotally connected. The hole 162a, 162b is disposed opposite to the through hole 124, and the positioning shaft 14 is disposed through the pivot hole 162a, 162b (the positioning shaft 14 of the embodiment can sequentially pass through the pivot hole 162b, the through hole 124 and the pivot hole 162a) . The pivot hole 162a can be designed to have a smaller aperture than the tight portion 144 and the same size as the pressing portion 142 to position and fix the positioning shaft 14 between the pivoting member 16 and the body 10.

The pivoting member 16 herein can be used as a guiding and anti-staying device in addition to the fixing function, and can further define the rotation direction and the limit angle of the supporting member 12 to extend the service life of the bracket 1.

Next, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, when the shaft 14 is positioned in the first position (FIG. 4), the fitting portion 144 of the positioning shaft 14 will engage the positioning portion 124A of the through hole 124. Since the outer diameter of the fitting portion 144 of the present embodiment is the same as the inner diameter of the positioning portion 124A of the through hole 124, the support member 12 will not rotate relative to the body 10 (in a locked state) in the first position.

When the positioning shaft 14 is in the second position (Fig. 5), in other words, the fitting portion 144 at this time will move to the rotating portion 124B of the through hole 124, and the elastic member 18 is pressed by the fitting portion 144 to be deformed. . Since the inner diameter of the rotating section 124B is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tight fitting portion 144, the solid The positioning shaft 14 will not engage the support member 12, so the support member 12 can be rotated relative to the body 10 (adjustable angular state).

Moreover, the positioning shaft 14 of the embodiment can be moved in such a manner that the user directly or indirectly presses and pushes the pressing portion 142, so that the fitting portion 144 can move between the positioning portion 124A and the rotating portion 124B. When the user stops pressing or pushing the pressing portion 142, the elastic member 18 is released, moving the fitting portion 144 of the positioning shaft 14 to the positioning portion 124A.

In short, when the pressing portion 142 is in the second position, the elastic member 18 provides an elastic restoring force against the fitting portion 144, the fitting portion 144 is moved to the positioning portion 124A, and the pressing portion 142 is moved to the first position. And the direction in which the elastic restoring force is pushed is illustrated by an arrow.

In other embodiments, the pressing portion 142 can also be pushed by a member such as a lever, and is not limited by this embodiment.

In summary, the present case is disposed at different positions through the positioning shaft, so that the support frame can be switched between the locked state and the adjustable angle state, so as to achieve the purpose of providing a bracket with a simple component and covering the self-locking function.

The above is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Any equivalent modifications or changes made to the spirit and scope of this case shall be included in the scope of the appended patent application.
