The invention relates to a holder, particularly for holding up a laptop or document, comprising a main support, especially for bearing at least a part ofthe back of a laptop or document, as well as at least one smaller support which can fold out, particularly for supporting an edge or a side ofthe laptop or the document.
Prior art
Such a holder is known from the American patent no. 1.923.351. With this known holder the main support is made up of three plates connected to each other by hinges which form a triangle when folded out, in which the surface of the middle plate is a supporting surface for a book. Regarding this known holder the smaller support which can fold out is a hook which can slide and turn and which is connected to one ofthe plates in such a way that it can move. By pulling the hook out and turning it, a smaller support for supporting an edge of a book is made.
Summary of the invention
An objective ofthe invention is to provide a holder ofthe type described in the preamble in which the smaller support is simpler than the case is with the known holder and still is sufficiently stable and strong. To this end, the holder according to the invention is characterized in that the smaller support comprises a first part connected to the main support by a hinge, as well as a second part that is connected by a hinge to the first part or to the main support, in which when folded out one of he parts serves as a support, in particular for an edge or a side of a laptop or a document, and the other part supports the part just mentioned. The smaller support ofthe holder according to the invention obtains its stability and strength through the triangular shape. Because of this, the parts can be produced thinner and lighter in weight, as a result of which when folded up the holder is more compact and lighter than the known holder.
Preferably, the parts ofthe smaller support are parts of a plate. Furthermore, the main support comprises preferably at least one plate and, when folded up, the main support's plate and the parts of the smaller support are parallel to each other. Moreover, when folded up, the parts ofthe smaller support and the plate lie preferably in one plane.
An embodiment ofthe holder according to the invention is characterized in that the main support comprises at least three plates connected to each other by hinges, in which a first plate is connected to a second plate by means of a first hinge, and the second plate is connected to a third plate by means of a second hinge situated at a distance from the first hinge. The third plate which is situated at a distance from the second hinge can be coupled to the first plate at a distance from the first hinge, so that a triangular supporting structure can be obtained. Preferably, the first part ofthe smaller support is connected by a binge to the main support at a first edge and is connected by a hinge at a second edge, which is situated opposite the first edge, to a first edge ofthe second part ofthe smaller support, in which the second part at a second edge, situated opposite the first edge, is provided with a least one projecting tab, which preferably is an extension ofthe plate, and in which the main support is provided with a slot for cooperating with the tab. When folded out, the first and second parts and a part ofthe main support between the slot and the first edge ofthe first part form a triangle when viewed from the side, in which the tab is situated in the slot, and where the first part is a bearing surface for supporting an edge or a side of, for example, a laptop.
Furthermore, the parts ofthe smaller support are preferably cut out of one ofthe main support's plates and are not connected to the plate at three ofthe edges and are connected by a hinge to the plate at a fourth edge, which parts when folded up are situated in the plate's surface and when folded out project from the plate's surface in order to support, for example, a laptop.
A further embodiment of the holder according to the invention is characterized in that the hinged joints between the main support's plates and the parts ofthe smaller support are flexible hinges. Because of this, the holder can be produced even lighter and more compact. The main support's plates and the parts ofthe smaller support are preferably made up of two sheets of metal between which there is a sheet of plastic, which sheet extends between the plates that are hinged to each other and the parts ofthe smaller support and constitutes the flexible hinges. In this way, a strong sandwich construction is obtained in which the metal sheets provide the strength and the sheet of plastic the hinging action.
