Abstract

A tablet computer receiving housing with supporting function includes a lower casing for protecting a tablet computer; an upper cover rotatably connected to the lower casing for protecting the screen of the tablet computer from damage; the lower casing being formed with a plurality of sections so that the upper cover can be folded along weak connection areas between different sections; the weak connection area forming as first folding lines which are not parallel to one another; wherein the upper cover is used as a cover and a supporter; the upper cover rotates along the lower casing; the lower casing is folded along the foldable lines so as to be formed as a supporter of the lower casing for supporting the tablet computer therein. Furthermore, the housing further has folding lines which are parallel to one another and transversally pass through a surface of the upper cover.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A tablet computer receiving housing with supporting function, comprising:
 a lower casing ( 10 ) for protecting a tablet computer;   an upper cover ( 20 ) rotatably connected to the lower casing for protecting a screen of the tablet computer from damage; the upper cover being formed with a plurality of sections so that the upper cover can be folded along weak connection areas between different sections; the weak connection areas forming as first folding lines which are not parallel to one another;   wherein the foldable lines are formed by a following way: a foldable line (H) approximately parallel to the lower side of the upper cover ( 20 ) passes through a point (P) which is located near a lower side of the upper cover ( 20 ); then two foldable lines (Q and R) extend from the point (P) to two upper corners of an upper side of the upper cover ( 20 ) so as to divide the upper cover into three triangular sections (A, B and C); another foldable lines (V) extend downwards from the point (P) to the lower side of the upper cover to divide a lower portion of the upper cover ( 20 ) into two oblong sections (D and E); these sections are connected flexibly so that the adjacent sections are foldable with respective to one another; the three triangular sections (A, B and C) include two approximately right triangles (A and C) clamping an approximately isosceles triangle (B); a bottom side of each right triangle (A and C) is adjacent to a corresponding oblong sections (E and D); and the areas between the different sections of the upper cover have weak structures so that they are folded to one another.   wherein the upper cover is used as a cover and a supporter; the upper cover rotates along the lower casing; the lower casing is folded along the foldable lines so as to be formed as a supporter of the lower casing for supporting the tablet computer therein.   
     
     
         2 . The tablet computer receiving housing with supporting function as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising second folding lines (F) and (G) which are parallel to one another and transversally pass through a surface of the upper cover so as to intersect with the first folding lines 
     
     
         3 - 5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . The tablet computer receiving housing with supporting function as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the oblong sections is divided into two triangles; and the connection areas between the triangles (L, M, N and O) are connected by weaker structures which are weaker than the triangles of the oblong sections. 
     
     
         7 . The tablet computer receiving housing with supporting function as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein each of the oblong sections is divided into two triangles; and the connection areas between the triangles (L, M, N and O) are connected by weaker structures which are weaker than that of the triangles of the oblong sections triangle sections. 
     
     
         8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . The cover for packaging and supporting a tablet computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the frame and lower casing are formed with a plurality of holes, one hole serves for receiving a USB plug slot, one hole for sound transmission, and other holes for heat dissipation. 
     
     
         10 . (canceled)
