Stand assembly
The present invention discloses a stand assembly that comes with an attached section for attaching and fixing the stand assembly onto a flat surface and an adjustable carrier stand for holding an electronic device and allowing users to adjust the position of the carrier stand by turning a first prop stand, a first prop stand, a second prop stand, a rotary stand or the carrier stand in any direction to facilitate the access and operation of the electronic device.
The present invention relates to a stand assembly, more particularly to a stand assembly that comes with an adjustable carrier stand for holding an electronic device and allows users to adjust the position of the stand to facilitate the access and operation of the electronic device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONUnlike the past, the present world has entered into a new era with blooming developments of science and technology, and various precision electronic products bring us tremendous convenience and improve our living quality, and thus the quality of these electronic products is indispensable with our life. For instance, a handheld electronic device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or a mobile phone not only features a small size and a light weight but also integrates the functions of notebook, calendar, database, game, telephone directory, English-Chinese dictionary, drawing and calculator, etc. Therefore, more and more people have high demand for this type of handheld electronic devices in recent years, and thus manufacturers and companies spare no effort to continuously research and develop this type of electronic devices and provide powerful functions for users in addition to making these electronic devices lighter, thinner, and smaller.
Regardless of these handheld electronic devices being used as an information management tool, a game machine, a music player, or a navigation system, a user may want to install these handheld electronic devices in a motor vehicle to facilitate the use of these handheld electronic devices while driving a motor vehicle. A traditional automobile stand can be used to achieve the foregoing objective.

Although the design of the foregoing extended tube allows users to adjust and fix the electronic device in an appropriate using position, the extended tube will be deformed because the extended tube itself will become inflexible after being used for a while or due to the vibration produced by the moving motor vehicle, and thus the electronic device will come off easily from its original position. A user has to readjust the extended tube, which causes tremendous inconvenience when the user uses the electronic device. Therefore, designing a stand assembly for mounting an electronic device in a motor vehicle without the need of frequently adjusting the position of the electronic device demands immediate attention and improvement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the shortcomings of the traditional automobile stand, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and experiments to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and finally invented a stand assembly in accordance with the present invention in hope of contributing the innovative idea and design to the general public.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a stand assembly comprising: a base, having an attached section on one side and a first prop stand on another side, and another end of the first prop stand is pivotally coupled to a second prop stand, and a pivotal axle disposed between the second prop stand and the first prop stand is connected perpendicularly to a central axle perpendicular to the base, another end of the second prop stand is pivotally coupled to a rotary stand, and a pivotal axle disposed between the rotary sand and the second prop stand is connected perpendicularly to a central axle disposed between the second prop stand and the first prop stand; a carrier stand being pivotally coupled to another end of the rotary stand, and a pivotal axle disposed between the carrier stand and the rotary stand is connected perpendicularly to a central axle disposed between the rotary stand and the second prop stand; and an electronic device disposed on another end of the carrier stand, such that when the stand is fixed onto a flat surface by the attached section, a user can turn the carrier stand, the rotary stand and the second prop stand to adjust the carrier stand to an appropriate position and angle to facilitate operating or accessing the electronic device.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
