  • Patent number: 11076498
    Abstract: A fixing device used with an electronic device having a base includes a housing and two pressing elements. The housing includes an accommodating space for accommodating the base. Each pressing element includes a pressing portion and a latch portion. The pressing portions protrude from opposite sides of the housing, and the latch portions protrude from a bottom of the accommodating space. The base includes two positioning structures corresponding to the latch portions. When the electronic device is in the locked state, the base is accommodated in the accommodating space, and the positioning structure and the latch portion are coupled so the electronic device is fixed in the accommodating space. When the electronic device is in the unlocked state, the pressing portions are simultaneously subjected to external opposing forces, and the positioning structure is uncoupled from the latch portion so the electronic device can be disassembled from the accommodating space.

  • Patent number: 10470564
    Abstract: A support device adapted to support an electronic device is provided. The electronic device has a display surface. The support device includes a base, a support frame, and at least one torque fixing assembly. The base includes a first arc surface portion. The support frame includes a second arc surface portion opposite to the first arc surface portion and an axis. The support frame rotates along the axis such that the second arc surface portion slides relative to the first arc surface portion and the electronic device switches between a first use state and a second use state. The torque fixing assembly is disposed at the first arc surface portion and the second arc surface portion. When the second arc surface portion slides relative to the first arc surface portion, the second arc surface portion rubs against the torque fixing assembly and torque is generated.
