Electronic device with support assembly

Abstract

An electronic device includes a main body and a support assembly including four L-shaped components. The L-shaped components are arranged around edges of the main body. Each L-shaped component includes two flexible end portions. Each adjacent L-shaped components can be connected to each other at the end portions thereof, allowing the L-shaped components to rotate relative to each other about the two connected end portions. Two connected L-shaped components are able to rotate with respect to the other two L-shaped components, thereby forming an angled structure to support the main body.

1 . An electronic device comprising:
 a main body; and   a support assembly comprising four L-shaped components arranged around edges of the main body, each L-shaped component comprising two flexible end portions, and each adjacent two L-shaped components being connected to each other at the end portions thereof, allowing the L-shaped components to rotate relative to each other about the two connected end portions, wherein two connected L-shaped components are able to rotate with respect to the other two L-shaped components, thereby forming an angled structure to support the main body.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device as described in  claim 1 , wherein each L-shaped component defines a receiving groove to receive a corresponding one of the edges of the main body, allowing the L-shaped components to wrap around the edges of the main body. 
     
     
         3 . The electronic device as described in  claim 2 , wherein the L-shaped components are made of rubber. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device as described in  claim 2 , wherein portions of the L-shaped components defining the receiving grooves are made of rubber. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device as described in  claim 1 , wherein each two connected end portions cooperatively form a cutout with two opposite sides respectively formed on each of the two connected end portions, and when the two connected L-shaped components are rotated with respect to the other two L-shaped components to a predetermined position, the opposite sides formed by each of the end portions of the two connected L-shaped components that are rotated support a back surface of the main body. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device as described in  claim 1 , wherein the L-shaped components are made of a material which can keep the shape after being bent. 
     
     
         7 . A support assembly for an electronic device, comprising:
 four L-shaped components for being arranged around edges of the electronic device, each L-shaped component comprising two flexible end portions, and each adjacent two L-shaped components being connected to each other at the end portions thereof, allowing the L-shaped components to rotate relative to each other about the two connected end portions, wherein two connected L-shaped components are able to rotate with respect to the other two L-shaped components, thereby forming an angled structure to support the electronic device.   
     
     
         8 . The support assembly as described in  claim 7 , wherein each L-shaped component defines a receiving groove to receive a corresponding one of the edges of the electronic device, allowing the L-shaped components to wrap around the edges of the electronic device. 
     
     
         9 . The support assembly as described in  claim 8 , wherein the L-shaped components are made of rubber. 
     
     
         10 . The support assembly as described in  claim 8 , wherein portions of the L-shaped components defining the receiving grooves are made of rubber. 
     
     
         11 . The support assembly as described in  claim 7 , wherein each two connected end portions cooperatively form a cutout with two opposite sides respectively formed on each of the two connected end portions, and when the two connected L-shaped components are rotated with respect to the other two L-shaped components to a predetermined position, the opposite sides formed by each of the end portions of the two connected L-shaped components that are rotated support a back surface of the electronic device. 
     
     
         12 . The support assembly as described in  claim 7 , wherein the L-shaped components are made of a material which can keep the shape after being bent.
