Publication number: 20130248676Abstract: A supporting component comprising a bottom base, a top base, a supporting plate, and a supporting unit is disclosed. An accommodating groove is at a lateral surface of the bottom base. The top base is pivottably connected to the bottom base around a first pivot. The bottom base is movably disposed at the accommodating groove. The supporting unit is pivottably connected to the top base around a second pivot, and the supporting unit is pivottably connected to the supporting plate around a third pivot. When the top base pivots around the first pivot from a closing position to an opening position, the top base pushes the supporting unit so that the supporting unit pushes the supporting plate to stick out from the accommodating groove. Therefore, the supporting component is at a supporting state automatically.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: INVENTEC CORPORATIONInventors: Shih-Hsuan Wang, Ming-Hsien Hsu
