Supporting apparatus

A supporting apparatus, for supporting a flat electronic device, comprising:

• a carrying seat including
• a main body having a sliding surface defined thereon;
• a blocking member disposed on the main body having a blocking surface defined thereon facing the sliding surface, wherein the sliding surface and the blocking surface are arranged in gradual convergence toward a joining section between the blocking surface and the main body;
• and
• a bearing member supporting the flat electronic device, wherein the bearing member is slidably disposed on the sliding surface and is separated from the blocking member;
• wherein the bearing member is movable along the sliding surface, and the distance between the bearing member and the blocking member is adjustable so that two sides of the flat electronic device are fixedly retainable by the bearing member and the blocking member;
• and
• a pedestal disposed underneath the carrying seat, wherein an arched top wall is formed concavely on the pedestal, wherein the bottom surface of the carrying seat is arch-shaped having the same curvature as that of the top wall of the pedestal, and wherein the carrying seat is rotatably disposed on the top wall of the pedestal about a rotating axis.
