Abstract

An article of furniture for placing an electronic device is provided. The furniture provides a support board for placing an electronic device at a position of palms where a user's hands naturally drop down, such that the user operates the electronic device with the hand at the position where the hand naturally drop down. Thus, the user's hand muscles are relaxed. Although the user controls the electronic device with the hands for a long time, the hands do not hurt.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

 a furniture component; and    a support board, disposed on the furniture component, wherein the support board is at a position where a user's hands just naturally drop down, such that when the user operates the electronic device with the hand, the electronic device is placed on the support board for being operated.    
     
     
         2 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the support board comprises: 
 a fixing board, fixed to the furniture component;    a carrying board, carrying the electronic device;    a connecting rod, with one end being pivoted on one side of the fixing board, and with the other end being pivoted on one side of the carrying board;    a first supporting rod, with one end being movably snapped to the fixing board, and with the other end being pivoted on the connecting board, so as to support the connecting rod and the fixing board; and    a second supporting rod, with one end being movably snapped to the carrying board, and with the other end being pivoted on the connecting rod, so as to support the connecting rod and the carrying board, wherein the fixing board and the carrying board are in an open state, and the user holds the electronic device with the hand at a position where the hand naturally drops down, and the electronic device is placed on the carrying board; when the first supporting rod and the second supporting rod slide relative to the fixing board and the carrying board respectively, the fixing board and the carrying board are closed with respect to each other.    
     
     
         3 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein a trough is arranged on one side of the fixing board, and one or more slots are arranged on a peripheral edge of the trough, such that one end of the first supporting rod slides in the trough, and is selectively snapped in the slots, so as to enable the first supporting rod to be slidably snapped to the fixing board.  
     
     
         4 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein a trough is arranged on one side of the carrying board, and one or more notches are arranged on a peripheral edge of the trough, such that one end of the second supporting rod slides in the trough, and is selectively snapped in the notches, so as to enable the second supporting rod to be slidably snapped to the carrying board.  
     
     
         5 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the furniture component is a plate and the support board comprises: 
 a box-shaped body, clamped to the plate;    a bolt, screwed to one side of the box-shaped body, wherein the bolt is fastened against the plate, such that the box-shaped body is fixed to the plate;    a connecting rod, with one end being connected to the side of the box-shaped body; and    a carrying board, with a side being connected to the other end of the connecting rod, wherein the carrying board is located at a position where the user's hands naturally drop down, such that when the user operates the electronic device with the hand, the electronic device is placed on the support board for being operated.    
     
     
         6 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a mouse.  
     
     
         7 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the furniture component is a table, the support board is pivoted on the table, and an accommodation chute for accommodating the support board is arranged on a rotating path of the table relative to the support board, when the support board rotates relative to the table and is drawn out of the accommodation chute, the support board is located at a position where the user's hands naturally drop down, such that when the user operates the electronic device with the hand, the electronic device is placed on the support board for being operated.  
     
     
         8 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the furniture component is a chair, the support board is pivoted on the chair, and when the support board is drawn out relative to the chair, the support board is located at a position where the user's hands naturally drop down, such that when the user operates the electronic device with the hand, the electronic device is placed on the support board for being operated.  
     
     
         9 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the support board comprises: 
 a fixing member, clamped to the furniture component;    a carrying board, carrying the electronic device;    a connecting rod, with one end being pivoted on one side of the fixing member, and with the other end being pivoted on one side of the carrying board;    a first supporting rod, with one end being movably snapped to the fixing member, and with the other end being pivoted on the connecting board, so as to support the connecting rod and the fixing member; and    a second supporting rod, with one end being movably snapped to the carrying board, and with the other end being pivoted on the connecting rod, so as to support the connecting rod and the carrying board, wherein the fixing member and the carrying board are in an open state, such that the user holds the electronic device with the hand at a position where the hand naturally drops down, and the electronic device is placed on the carrying board; when the first supporting rod and the second supporting rod slide relative to the fixing member and the carrying board respectively, the fixing member and the carrying board are folded relative to each other.    
     
     
         10 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the fixing member comprises: 
 a first rod, wherein the first rod is a rod body, with an end being pivoted on the connecting rod;    a second rod, wherein the second rod is a rod body extending from the end of the first rod; and    a clamping piece, fixed to one side of the second rod, for clamping the furniture component.    
     
     
         11 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the clamping piece is integrated into a horseshoe-shaped part, so as to form the piece with a clamping force.  
     
     
         12 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 10 , further comprising a reinforcing rod connected between the first rod and the second rod, such that the first rod and the second rod do not deform when being applied with a force.  
     
     
         13 . The article of furniture for placing an electronic device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein a trough is arranged on one side of the first rod, and one or more notches are arranged on a peripheral edge of the trough, such that one end of the first supporting rod slides in the trough, and is selectively snapped in the notches, so as to enable the first supporting rod to be movably snapped to the first rod.
