  • Patent number: 9084350
    Abstract: A cushion structure suitable for an electronic device is provided. The cushion structure includes cushions and at least one channel. Each cushion has a first surface and a second surface that are flexible and opposite to each other. Each cushion is combined to a body of the electronic device through its second surface, and the electronic device is placed on and in contact with a platform through the first surfaces of the cushions. The channel is in the body and communicated with the second surfaces. The channel is filled with a fluid that is in contact with the second surfaces of the cushions. When the first surface of at least one of the cushions sustains a force and deforms toward the second surface, the fluid in the channel is compressed to drive the second surfaces of the other cushions to deform toward the first surfaces to support the electronic device.
