Pad structure

Abstract

A pad structure is disposed on the bottom of a casing of an electronic device, which includes a skidproof piece and a slide piece. The skidproof piece is used for securing and supporting the electronic device on a plane. When the electronic device is at an oblique angle opposite to the plane, and drags the skidproof piece away from the plane, the slide piece contacts with the plane, and the electronic device is enabled to move on the plane by the slide piece.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 097135708 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Sep. 17, 2008 the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a pad structure, and more particularly a pad structure disposed on the bottom of a casing of an electronic device.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]For a housing of a common electronic device such as a computer, a host, and a screen, pads are generally disposed at periphery of the casing bottom, which can assist in the firm arrangement of the electronic device on a plane such as a desktop and a floor. The pads also support the electronic device to a certain height, thus avoiding the casing of the electronic device from directly contacting with the desktop or the floor to influence the performance of the electronic device due to the heat gen...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The skidproof piece is lifted to leave the plane when the casing of the electronic device is slanted, while the slide piece contacts with the plane simultaneously, such that the casing of the electronic device may move on the plane by the slide piece. Therefore, the staying and moving of the electronic device on the plane can be achieved by the difference between the retarding force formed by the skidproof piece and the slide piece with the plane. In this way, a user can easily move the electronic device on the plane.

Problems solved by technology

However, in certain cases, for example, when a salesman shows data to a customer, the retarding force provided by the pads becomes a burden, such that the user has to uplift the whole laptop computer from the desktop, and turn it to show the content on the screen to the customer.

Therefore, in the entire process of showing data, the need of frequent turning causes much inconvenience in use, and the inner operation devices, such as Central Processing Unit (CPU), are easily to be damaged due to the shock resulting from the frequent lifting up and putting down of the computer.

Or, the computer suffers from the risk of falling off to the floor because of not being held steadily.

Moreover, when the user needs to alter the using position temporarily, for example, when the user wants to alter the operation position to an area near the desktop momentarily, the alternation of the operation position also requires the uplift of the whole laptop computer, thereby resulting in the inconvenience in use.
