Apparatus and method for using a tablet computer

Abstract

A stand for a tablet computer is disclosed. The stand comprises a base that can be supported upon a support surface, a support connected by a pivot to the base that can be folded between a compact position in which it closely overlies the base, and at least one raised position in which a part of the support remote from the pivot is retained above the base. The stand further includes a rest that can be placed in an operative position spaced from the support; whereby an edge portion of a tablet computer can be placed between an edge portion of the rest and the support for use. The rest is connected to the support by an intermediate component that allows it to be displaced to the operative position for use. The rest is substantially parallel to the support or is closer to the support in the region of the stops than it is at the edge portion.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
