Electronic device with supporting member

Abstract

An electronic device ( 10 ) includes a housing ( 30 ) and a supporting member ( 50 ) for supporting the housing. The housing includes a wall ( 31 ) and a plurality of vents ( 32 ) disposed on the wall. The supporting member includes a base ( 52 ) and a pair of upright walls ( 54 ). The base includes at least one securing member ( 522 ) and an opening ( 525 ). The securing member is engaged with one of the corresponding vents. The opening is aligned with the vents. The pair of upright walls bilaterally extend up from opposite edges of the base and defines a receiving space for receiving a part of the housing.

1 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a housing comprising a wall and a plurality of vents disposed on the wall; and   a supporting member for supporting the housing, comprising:
 a base comprising at least one securing member engaged with one of the plurality of vents, and an opening aligned with the vents; and 
 a pair of upright walls bilaterally extending up from opposite edges of the base, and defining a receiving space for receiving a part of the housing. 
   
   
   
       2 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base defines at least one through-hole encircling the corresponding securing member. 
   
   
       3 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the at least one through-hole comprises a pair of through-holes disposed adjacent to opposite edges of the opening. 
   
   
       4 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the at least one securing member comprises a pair of securing members. 
   
   
       5 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein each through-hole partly encircles the corresponding securing member. 
   
   
       6 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the securing member comprises a resilient portion comprising a first surface and an opposite second surface, a thickness of the resilient portion being thinner than that of the base. 
   
   
       7 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the securing member further comprises a first upright portion perpendicular to the first surface, the first upright portion being disposed on a distal end of the resilient portion. 
   
   
       8 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the securing member further comprises a hook disposed on a distal end of the first upright portion. 
   
   
       9 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the hook comprises an arced surface and an inclined surface connecting to the arced surface, the inclined surface and the first upright portion cooperatively defining an angle. 
   
   
       10 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the angle is an obtuse angle. 
   
   
       11 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the securing member further comprises a second upright portion perpendicular to the second surface, the second upright portion being disposed on a distal end of the resilient portion. 
   
   
       12 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises a recessed portion disposed on the wall of the housing. 
   
   
       13 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the base further comprises a protruding portion received in the recessed portion. 
   
   
       14 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the protruding portion is semi-ring shaped. 
   
   
       15 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the protruding portion defines a receiving portion in a middle thereof. 
   
   
       16 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the housing further comprises a screw installed in the recessed portion, a header of the screw being received in the receiving portion. 
   
   
       17 . An electronic device comprising:
 a housing of said electronic device; and   a supporting member for supporting said housing to be placed along a predetermined orientation, said supporting member comprising two securing members formed in said supporting member and spaced from each other, each of said two securing members comprising a resilient portion cantilevered and extending toward the other of said two securing members, a first upright portion formed at an extending end of said resilient portion and extending toward said housing, and a hook formed at an extending end of said first upright portion, said hook and said first upright portion of said each of said two securing members pivotally movable relative to said resilient member of said each of said two securing members between a first position of said hook and said first upright portion where said hook is moved closest to said other of said two securing members in order to engage with said housing and secure said supporting member to said housing, and a second position of said hook and said first upright portion where said hook is moved farthest away from said other of said two securing members in order to disengage from said housing and release said supporting member.   
   
   
       18 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein said each of said two securing members further comprises a second upright portion form at an extending end of said resilient portion and extending opposite to said first upright portion so as to be user-operable to control movement of said hook and said first upright portion between said first position thereof and said second position thereof. 
   
   
       19 . An electronic device comprising:
 a housing of said electronic device; and   a supporting member for supporting said housing to be placed along a predetermined orientation, said supporting member comprising two securing members formed in said supporting member and spaced from each other, each of said two securing members comprising a hook extending toward said housing and facing the other of said two securing members, said hook pivotally movable to engage with said housing and secure said supporting member to said housing by being moved toward said other of said two securing members, and to disengage from said housing and release said supporting member by being moved away from said other of said two securing members.   
   
   
       20 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein said hook of said each of said two securing members is formed at an extending end of a first upright portion extending toward said housing, and a second upright portion extends from another end of said first upright portion to extend opposite to said first upright portion so as to be exposable and user-operable to control movement of said hook.
