Multifunctional case for portable electronic device

Abstract

A multifunctional case includes a receiving member defining two parallel sliding grooves, and two supporting members. Each supporting member has a rail. In a first state, the supporting member and the receiving member cooperatively form a receiving space for receiving an electronic device. In a second state, each rail is slidably received in the sliding grooves causing the supporting members tilting the supporting member to support the electronic device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multifunctional case, comprising:

         2 . The multifunctional case of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving member includes a main board and a first sidewall protruding from an edge of the main board; a first receiving groove is defined in an inner surface of the first sidewall surrounding the main board, the first receiving groove is for receiving the electronic device. 
     
     
         3 . The multifunctional case of  claim 2 , wherein two cutouts are defined at two opposite corners of the main board; each supporting member includes a main body and a second sidewall protruding from an edge of the main body, each main body has a shape and a size complementary to one of the cutouts. 
     
     
         4 . The multifunctional case of  claim 3 , wherein two first joint surfaces are formed at said two opposite corners of the main board, each supporting member includes a second joint surface facing and complementary to one of the first joint surfaces; each first joint surface contacts one of the second joint surfaces to form the receiving space when the case is in the first state. 
     
     
         5 . The multifunctional case of  claim 4 , wherein a second receiving groove is defined in an inner surface of the second sidewall surrounding the main body, the second receiving groove is for receiving the electronic device. 
     
     
         6 . The multifunctional case of  claim 1 , wherein a limiting block is formed at one end of each sliding groove to prevent the rail from sliding out of the sliding groove. 
     
     
         7 . A multifunctional case, comprising:
 a receiving member defining two parallel sliding grooves;   two supporting members, each supporting member having a rail;   wherein each rail is slidably received in the sliding grooves causing the supporting members sliding relative to the receiving member, to adjust an angle of the receiving member relative to a supporting surface.   
     
     
         8 . The multifunctional case of  claim 7 , wherein the receiving member includes a main board and a first sidewall protruding from an edge of the main board; a first receiving groove is defined in an inner surface of the first sidewall surrounding the main board, the first receiving groove is for receiving an electronic device. 
     
     
         9 . The multifunctional case of  claim 8 , wherein two cutouts are defined at two opposite corners of the main board; each supporting member includes a main body and a second sidewall protruding from an edge of the main body, each main body has a shape and a size complementary to one of the cutouts. 
     
     
         10 . The multifunctional case of  claim 9 , wherein two first joint surfaces are formed at said two opposite corners of the main board, each supporting member includes a second joint surface facing and complementary to one of the first joint surfaces; after the rails are removed from the sliding grooves, each first joint surface is capable of contacting one of the second joint surfaces to form a receiving space for receiving the electronic device. 
     
     
         11 . The multifunctional case of  claim 10 , wherein a second receiving groove is defined in an inner surface of the second sidewall surrounding the main body, the second receiving groove is for receiving the electronic device. 
     
     
         12 . The multifunctional case of  claim 7 , wherein a limiting block is formed at one end of each sliding groove to prevent the rail from sliding out of the sliding groove. 
     
     
         13 . A multifunctional case, comprising:
 a receiving member including a main board and a first sidewall protruding from an edge of the main board, a first receiving groove defined in an inner surface of the first sidewall surrounding the main board, the receiving member defining two cutouts at two opposite corners of the main board;   two supporting members, each supporting member including a main body and a second sidewall protruding from an edge of the main body, each main body having a shape and a size complementary to one of the cutouts;   wherein each supporting member is located in one of the cutouts so the receiving member and the supporting members cooperatively form a receiving space for receiving an electronic device .   
     
     
         14 . The multifunctional case of  claim 13 , wherein two first joint surfaces are formed at said two opposite corners of the main board, each supporting member includes a second joint surface facing and complementary to one of the first joint surfaces; each first joint surface contacts one of the second joint surfaces to form the receiving space. 
     
     
         15 . The multifunctional case of  claim 13 , wherein a first receiving groove is defined in an inner surface of the first sidewall surrounding the main board, the first receiving groove is for receiving the electronic device. 
     
     
         16 . The multifunctional case of  claim 13 , wherein a second receiving groove is defined in an inner surface of the second sidewall surrounding the main body, the second receiving groove is for receiving the electronic device.
