Abstract
A stand assembly for a portable electronic device is disclosed. The stand assembly enables the portable electronic device to stand horizontally and vertically, as well as standing at an angle. The stand assembly includes a first arm swingably provided by a first hinge on a rear surface side of a chassis, a second arm swingably provided by a second hinge on the rear surface side of the chassis. The stand assembly also includes a connecting section that connects the first arm to the second arm 12, with the second arm being longer than the first arm.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- a first arm swingably hinged to a rear surface of a chassis of a portable electronic device;
- a second arm swingably hinged to said rear surface of said chassis, wherein said second arm is longer than said first arm, wherein when said second arm is brought into contact with a placement surface to stand said portable electronic device on said placement surface, a perpendicular line from a center of gravity of said portable electronic device down to said placement surface falls within a triangle drawn by a contact line between said portable electronic device and said placement surface and a distal end of said second arm;
- and
- a connecting section connects said first arm and said second arm.
A portable electronic device comprising:
- a plate-shaped chassis;
- and
- a stand assembly having,
- a first arm swingably hinged to a rear surface of said chassis;
- a second arm swingably hinged to said rear surface of said chassis, wherein said second arm is longer than said first arm, wherein said first arm is connected to said chassis via a first hinge, and said second arm is connected to said chassis via a second hinge, wherein axial directions of rotations of said first hinge of said first arm and said second hinge of said second arm are on a same straight line;
- and
- a connecting section connects said first arm and said second arm.
