## Abstract

An electronic apparatus with a detachable support. The electronic apparatus includes a body, a release device, and a support. The body includes a housing. The release device is disposed on the housing in a manner such that it is moveable between a first position and a second position. When the release device is in the first position, it is engaged with the support so that the support is combined with the housing. When the release device is in the second position, it is disengaged from the support so that the support is separated from the housing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic apparatus comprising:
a body comprising a housing;
a release device disposed on the housing in a manner such that the release device is moveable between a first position and a second position; and
a support detachably combined with the body, wherein the release device is engaged with the support so that the support is combined with the housing when the release device is in the first position, and the release device is disengaged from the support so that the support is separated from the housing when the release device is in the second position.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the release device comprises:
a moving member combined with the housing; and
an elastic member, located in the housing, abutting the moving member to return the moving member to the first position.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the moving member comprises a first hook, and the support comprises an engaging portion engaging the first hook when the release device is in the first position.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein the first hook comprises an inclined surface facing the support.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein the housing comprises a through hole in which the first hook is located.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein the housing comprises a slot, and the moving member comprises a second hook abutting the elastic member through the slot.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein the housing further comprises a concave portion, communicating with the slot, in which the elastic member is disposed.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein the moving member further comprises a locking portion and a handle portion, the first hook is formed on the locking portion, and the second hook is formed on the handle portion.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the housing comprises a through hole through which the screw passes, and the through hole is oval-shaped so that the release device can be moved between the first position and the second position.

### Claim 13 (depends on 2)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the elastic member is a compression spring.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a through hole, and the support comprises a block inserted into the through hole so that the support is combined with the body.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)
