Abstract
A housing assembly for an electronic device is provided. The housing assembly includes a protective shell and a support leg. The protective shell defines an opening, a flat panel, a baffle, and a protrusion formed on the baffle and opposing the protective shell. Both the baffle and the flat panel are deformable. The support leg is rotatable relative to the protective shell in an opening between a folded position where the support leg is parallel with and attached to the protective shell, the slanted lower surface is attached to the protrusion; and a deployed position where the support leg is inclined relative to the protective shell, and the slanted lower surface is attached to the protective shell and the flat upper surface is opposite to the protrusion.

A housing assembly for an electronic device, comprising:
- a protective shell for fittingly encasing the electronic device, the protective shell defining an opening,
- a flat panel perpendicularly formed on the protective shell adjacent to the opening,
- a baffle perpendicularly extending from a side of the flat panel,
- a protrusion formed on the baffle and opposing the protective shell, wherein both the baffle and the flat panel are deformable;
- a support leg comprising a main body and a projection extending from an upper end of the main body, wherein the projection defines a through hole, and the projection comprises a flat upper surface perpendicular to the main body and a slanted lower surface;
- a connecting member fixed on the protective shell, the connecting member comprising two opposite parallel walls, the two parallel walls respectively defining two opposite holes, wherein when the support leg rotates, both the flat panel and the baffle are deformed;
- and
- a shaft passing through the through hole and engaged in the two opposite holes;
- wherein the support leg is rotatable relative to the protective shell in the opening between a folded position where the support leg is parallel with and attached to the protective shell, the slanted lower surface is attached to the protrusion;
- and a deployed position where the support leg is inclined relative to the protective shell, and the slanted lower surface is attached to the protective shell and the flat upper surface is opposite to the protrusion.
An electronic device assembly comprising:
- an electronic device;
- a housing assembly comprising:
- a protective shell for fittingly encasing the electronic device, the protective shell defining an opening,
- a flat panel perpendicularly formed on the protective shell adjacent to the opening, a baffle perpendicularly extending from a side of the flat panel,
- a protrusion formed on the baffle and opposing the protective shell, wherein both the baffle and the flat panel are deformable;
- a support leg comprising a main body and a projection extending from an upper end of the main body, wherein the upper end of the main body defines a through hole, and the projection comprises a flat upper surface substantially perpendicular to the main body and a slanted lower surface;
- a connecting member fixed on the protective shell, the connecting member comprising two opposite parallel walls, the two parallel walls respectively defining two opposite holes, wherein when the support leg rotates, both the flat panel and the baffle are deformed;
- and
- a shaft passing through the through hole and inserted into the two opposite holes;
- wherein the support leg is rotatable relative to the protective shell in the opening between a folded position where the support leg is parallel with and attached to the protective shell, the slanted lower surface is attached to the protrusion;
- and a deployed position where the support leg is inclined relative to the protective shell, and the slanted lower surface is attached to the protective shell and the flat upper surface is opposite to the protrusion.
