  • Publication number: 20130175421
    Abstract: A support is disclosed that attaches to and is carried by the device that it supports. The support incorporates a u-shaped supporting member that generally extends across the length of the device, and is attached to the device using independent sidepieces that conform to the shape of the device, creating a press-fit. The sidepieces are hingedly attached to the supporting member using constant-torque positional hinges that allow for a customizable viewing angle when the device is being supported. In addition, the support is configured so that the device can be supported in two different orientations, commonly referred to as portrait and landscape, and the support is designed to support objects that are pushed and touched. Finally, the support has a minimal impact on the device's outer surfaces, so that additional attachments designed for the device may be used in conjunction with the support.
