  • Patent number: 11175694
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display. The display includes a display surface and an opposed display back surface. A base is rotatably coupled to the display with a base hinge. The base includes an input surface and an opposed base bottom surface. The base hinge extends along an interface between the display and the base. A retractable standoff includes a standoff body having a standoff hinge to hingeably mount the standoff body to one of the display back surface or base bottom surface. The standoff hinge is moveable between a retracted position and extended position. The standoff body is flush with the display back surface or the base bottom surface when the retractable standoff is in the retracted position. The standoff body includes a standoff body outer edge to abut against another of the display back surface or the base bottom surface when the retractable standoff is in the extended position.
