Patent number: 10871257Abstract: A supporting device adapted to support an electronic apparatus is provided. The supporting device includes a base and a supporting frame. The base includes a first through hole and a second through hole. The supporting frame is adapted to support the electronic apparatus. The supporting frame includes an arc frame and a virtual axis. The arc frame passes through the first through hole and the second through hole so that a portion of the arc frame is located in the base. The arc frame rotates along the virtual axis so that the electronic apparatus is switched between a first state of use and a second state of use.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Compal Electronics, Inc.Inventors: I-Chen Chen, Li-Fang Chen, Ching-Hua Li

Patent number: 10470564Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Compal Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Ching-Hua Li, Li-Fang Chen, Chen-Hsien Cheng, I-Chen Chen, I-Lung Chen, Wei-Ning Chai, Cheng-Min Chen
