Problems solved by technology

[0010] Consequently, the interface cable would be unnecessarily long and the routing of said interface cable could be cumbersome
In addition, since the interface cable transmits high-speed signals, the transmission of data is hindered depending on the length of the interface cable
Therefore, an unnecessarily long interface cable adversely affects the operating environment of the portable computer

Abstract

A supporting device includes: a housing (10, 11), a cable (12) connected to the housing (10, 11), and a cable guide (65a, 65b) provided on the housing (10, 11). The cable guide (65a, 65b) has a first cylindrical portion (66) and a second cylindrical portion (67) which traverses the first cylindrical portion (66) and ends in Rotatable means are supported by said housings (10, 11). The cable (12) is guided into the housing (10, 11) through the inner space of the first and second cylindrical parts (66, 67).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a support device for connecting an electronic device, such as a laptop computer, with an external device. Background technique [0002] In an electronic device such as a portable computer, an advantage in portability is an important factor for increasing the commercial value of the product. Therefore, the casing of the portable computer is designed to be thinner and more concise. Therefore, it is impossible to provide sufficient space for a plurality of connectors for connection to external devices, multiple drives, etc. in the housing. [0003] Laptops that emphasize portability are equipped with expansion connectors. The expansion connector is used to connect the laptop to an expansion device called a docking station. The use of expansion devices allows a portable computer to perform equivalent functions to a desktop computer. [0004] A conventional expansion device includes: a tray that supports a portable compu...
