In addition, for users who like to place portable monitors, mirrors, picture frames, and other items in their work or entertainment settings, stands also play an important role, helping us to flexibly place these items to meet diverse needs.

[0003] Most existing tripods adopt a one-piece molded design, which takes up a lot of space when carried. This is extremely inconvenient for users who frequently need to carry tripods. Whether traveling, shooting outdoors, or commuting daily, the large size increases the difficulty and burden of carrying them. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of the large size and inconvenience of carrying existing brackets, and to propose an ultra-thin portable four-legged bracket.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] An ultra-thin portable quadruped includes:

[0007] The support frame has two parts, and the middle of the two support frames are connected together. The two support frames can rotate and move relative to each other to unfold into an X shape or fold into a straight line.

[0008] The first support leg is hinged to the surface of the support frame, and its number and distribution are adapted to the support frame.

[0009] The second support leg is hinged to the surface of the support frame. Its number and distribution are adapted to the support frame. The first and second support legs are used to separate the support frame from the horizontal plane by a certain distance and form a support placement surface.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0011] Furthermore, protrusions are fixedly installed on the middle surfaces of both support frames, and pins are threaded through the surfaces of the protrusions, allowing the two support frames to rotate and shift relative to the pins.

[0012] Furthermore, a first anti-slip rubber sleeve is fitted on the end of the first support leg away from the support frame, and a first abutment seat is fixedly installed on the surface of the first support leg. When the first support leg and the support frame are rotated and unfolded, the first abutment seat can abut against the side of the support frame. The first abutment seat is L-shaped in general.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is provided at the center of the second support leg, extending through one end to the other side surface of the support frame. The second support leg rotates and shifts with the connecting shaft as the base point. A second abutment seat is also fixedly installed on the surface of the second support leg. When the second support leg and the support frame rotate and unfold, the second abutment seat abuts against the side of the support frame.

[0014] Furthermore, each end of the second support leg is fitted with a second anti-slip rubber sleeve. One of the two second anti-slip rubber sleeves on each second support leg is for placing the anti-slip rubber sleeve, and the other is for cushioning.

[0015] Furthermore, each support frame is fitted with two sections of third anti-slip rubber sleeves on its side, with the third anti-slip rubber sleeves positioned on the support placement surface.

[0016] Furthermore, both ends of the support frame are rounded arcs.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] This ultra-thin portable quadruped features a design with two support frames connected at the center and capable of relative rotation and displacement. This innovation allows the tripod to be folded into a straight line when not in use, significantly reducing its footprint. Compared to the bulky, one-piece molded tripods mentioned in the background section, this foldable design significantly improves portability. Users can easily place the tripod in a backpack or handbag, making it easy to carry for travel, outdoor shooting, or daily commutes without being limited by size. Furthermore, the tripod incorporates a first and second support leg, hinged to the surface of the support frame. Their number and distribution are perfectly matched to the support frame.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Combination Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an ultra-thin portable quadruped, comprising:

[0026] The support frame 1 has two components, and the middle of the two support frames 1 are connected together. The two support frames 1 can rotate relative to each other to unfold into an X-shape or fold into a straight line.

[0027] The first support leg 2 is hinged to the surface of the support frame 1, and its number and distribution position are adapted to the support frame 1.

[0028] The second support leg 3 is hinged to the surface of the support frame 1. Its number and distribution position are adapted to the support frame 1. The first support leg 2 and the second support leg 3 are used to separate the support frame 1 from the horizontal plane by a certain distance and form a support placement surface.

[0029] In use, the user first unfolds the straight support frame from its stored state. The two support frames 1 achieve relative rotational displacement through the connecting structure in the middle, gradually unfolding from a straight shape until a stable X-shaped structure is formed. This X-shaped structure design not only enhances the stability of the support frame but also allows it to be firmly supported on a horizontal surface after unfolding. As the support frame 1 unfolds, the first support leg 2 and the second support leg 3, which are hinged to its surface, also unfold accordingly. The design of the first support leg 2 and the second support leg 3 is to lift the support frame 1 after the support frame is unfolded, creating a certain gap with the horizontal surface, thereby forming a stable support for tilting. When the support frame is fully unfolded and adjusted... With the support legs in place, users can place their desired devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets, on the support surface of the stand for video calls, watching videos, or other operations. The X-shaped structure and stable support legs ensure the device remains stable during use, preventing wobbling or tilting. When not in use, users simply fold the support frame 1 back into its straight-line structure, retracting the first support leg 2 and the second support leg 3 to the surface of the support frame 1 for easy storage and portability. It should be noted that the overall length of the first support leg 2 can be greater than the length of the second support leg 3, allowing the entire stand to tilt when unfolded. Figure 1 As shown, one side is higher than the other, which is intended to allow users to use electronic products at a certain tilt angle. It should also be noted that the overall length of the first support leg 2 can be equal to the length of the second support leg 3. Therefore, the entire bracket can be laid horizontally when unfolded, and a table can be laid on this support surface for placing tea sets or snacks during outdoor camping.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured as follows: A protrusion 4 is fixedly installed on the middle surface of each of the two support frames 1, and a pin 5 is passed through the surface of the protrusion 4. The two support frames 1 can rotate and displace around the pin 5 as a base point. When the support is in the retracted state, the two support frames 1 approach each other through the protrusion 4 and arrange themselves in a straight line. At this time, the pin 5, as the base point of rotation, is fixed in the through hole of the protrusion 4, but does not hinder the further unfolding of the support frames 1. The function of the pin 5 is to provide a stable center of rotation, so that the two support frames 1 can rotate smoothly and stably around this center when they need to be unfolded. When the user needs to unfold the support from the retracted state, only a certain external force needs to be applied, so that the two support frames 1 start to rotate around the pin 5 as a base point. As the rotation proceeds, the support frame 1 gradually unfolds from a straight line until it forms a stable X-shaped structure. During this process, the pin 5 not only ensures the smooth rotation but also provides the necessary support force through its robust structure, preventing deformation or damage to the support during unfolding. Once the support is fully unfolded into an X-shaped structure, the pin 5 continues to serve as a rotation base point, but at this point it primarily functions as a fixation and stabilization point, ensuring that the two support frames 1 remain firmly in the unfolded state, providing a stable support surface for the placed equipment. It is worth noting that although the pin 5 plays a crucial role in the rotational displacement of the support, its design does not increase the complexity or weight of the support. On the contrary, by cleverly integrating the pin 5 into the protrusion 4, the support achieves excellent stability and durability while maintaining its slimness and portability.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured as follows: a first anti-slip rubber sleeve 6 is fitted onto the end of the first support leg 2 away from the support frame 1, and a first abutment seat 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the first support leg 2. When the first support leg 2 and the support frame 1 are rotated and unfolded, the first abutment seat 7 can abut against the side of the support frame 1. The first abutment seat 7 is generally L-shaped. When the support is in the unfolded state, the first support leg 2 rotates and unfolds from the support frame 1, forming a certain angle with the horizontal plane, providing stable support for the support. At this time, the first anti-slip rubber sleeve 6 fitted onto the end of the first support leg 2 away from the support frame 1 plays a key role. The first anti-slip rubber sleeve 6 is made of a material with a high coefficient of friction, which can... The first support leg 2 effectively increases the friction between itself and the ground or other supporting surfaces, preventing the bracket from sliding or tipping over during use, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the equipment placed on it. At the same time, the first abutment seat 7, which is fixedly installed on the surface of the first support leg 2, also plays an important role. The first abutment seat 7 is L-shaped. When the first support leg 2 is rotated and unfolded to form a certain angle with the support frame 1, the right-angled part of the first abutment seat 7 will abut against the side of the support frame 1. This design not only limits the rotation range of the first support leg 2 and prevents it from over-unfolding and causing instability in the bracket structure, but also further enhances the stability of the bracket in the unfolded state through physical abutment.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured as follows: a connecting shaft 8 is provided at the center of the second support leg 3, one end of which passes through and extends to the other side surface of the support frame 1. The second support leg 3 rotates and shifts around the connecting shaft 8 as a base point. A second abutment seat 9 is also fixedly installed on the surface of the second support leg 3. When the second support leg 3 and the support frame 1 rotate and unfold, the second abutment seat 9 abuts against the side of the support frame 1. During the unfolding process of the support, the second support leg 3 is connected to the support frame 1 through the connecting shaft 8 at its center. One end of the connecting shaft 8 passes through the second support leg 3 and extends to the other side surface of the support frame 1, serving as the connecting shaft for the second support leg 3. The rotation provides a stable base point. This design allows the second support leg 3 to rotate smoothly and stably around the connecting shaft 8, ensuring that the support can maintain the integrity and stability of the structure during the unfolding and retraction process. When the second support leg 3 is rotated out of the retracted state, the second abutment seat 9 on its surface begins to contact the side of the support frame 1 and gradually abuts against each other. The design of the second abutment seat 9 is intended to limit the rotation range of the second support leg 3 and prevent it from over-unfolding, which would cause instability in the support structure. Through physical abutment, the second abutment seat 9 ensures that the second support leg 3 can be firmly held in place when unfolded to a predetermined angle, providing stable support for the support.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured such that: both ends of the second support leg 3 are fitted with second anti-slip rubber sleeves 10. One of the two second anti-slip rubber sleeves 10 on each second support leg 3 is for placing the anti-slip rubber sleeve, and the other is for cushioning. When the support is in the extended state and ready to place an object, the second support leg 3, as a key component in contact with the ground or other supporting surface, has crucial stability and anti-slip performance. Therefore, both ends of each second support leg 3 are fitted with second anti-slip rubber sleeves 10. One of the second anti-slip rubber sleeves 10 is designed to place the anti-slip rubber sleeve, its main function being to increase the friction between the second support leg 3 and the supporting surface, preventing the support from sliding or tipping over when placing an object, and intercepting the object from sliding down. This ensures the stability of the support and the object placed on it. Another second anti-slip rubber sleeve 10 serves as a cushioning rubber sleeve, whose main function is to prevent the object from directly contacting the metal or hard material surface of the second support leg 3 when it is placed. The cushioning rubber sleeve is made of a soft and elastic material, which can provide effective cushioning when the object is placed, reducing or eliminating the impact force caused by direct impact, thereby protecting the object from damage. This dual design not only improves the anti-slip performance of the support and ensures the stability of the object placed on it, but also effectively protects the object from the risk of potential damage through the use of the cushioning rubber sleeve. Whether used in a home, office or outdoor environment, this support can provide users with a safer, more reliable and convenient support solution.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured such that: two sections of third anti-slip rubber sleeves 11 are fitted on the side of each support frame 1, wherein the third anti-slip rubber sleeves 11 are located on the support placement surface. When the support is fully extended and forms a stable support placement surface, the third anti-slip rubber sleeves 11 play their key role. Since these rubber sleeves are fitted on the side of the support frame 1 and are directly on the support placement surface, they can effectively increase the friction between the support and the placed object. This increased friction can prevent the placed object from sliding or tipping on the support, especially when used on uneven or inclined surfaces, where its anti-slip effect is more prominent. In addition, the third anti-slip rubber sleeves 1 1. It also has a certain degree of elasticity and cushioning performance. When an object is placed in contact with the bracket, these rubber sleeves can absorb some of the impact force, reducing the hard collision between the object and the bracket, thereby protecting the object from damage. At the same time, this elasticity and cushioning performance also allows users to experience a more comfortable and stable support effect when using the bracket. It is worth noting that each support 1 is fitted with two sections of third anti-slip rubber sleeves 11. This design not only further enhances the anti-slip performance of the bracket, but also makes the bracket more aesthetically pleasing and coordinated. In addition, since the rubber sleeves have a certain degree of wear resistance and durability, they can maintain excellent anti-slip and cushioning performance for a long time, extending the service life of the bracket.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that both ends of the support frame 1 are rounded arcs. As the main load-bearing structure of the bracket, the rounded arc design at both ends of the support frame 1 plays a key role in several aspects. First, this rounded arc structure is more visually harmonious, making the entire bracket look more modern and stylish. More importantly, the rounded arc design reduces the sharp edges at both ends of the support frame 1, thereby reducing the risk of accidental scratches or collisions when users move, adjust or use the bracket, and improving the safety of use.

[0036] The specific working principle of this ultra-thin portable quadruped is as follows:

[0037] The support frame is mainly composed of two support frames 1. The middle of the two support frames 1 is connected to each other and can rotate relative to each other. By rotating, the support frame can be transformed from a straight state to an X-shaped state. On the surface of the support frame 1, there are first support legs 2 and second support legs 3. Their number and distribution position are adapted to the support frame 1 so as to form a certain interval with the horizontal plane when the support frame is unfolded, and together they form a support placement surface.

[0038] Before use, the stand is usually in the storage state. At this time, the two support frames 1 are arranged in parallel, and the first support leg 2 and the second support leg 3 are both close to the surface of the support frame 1. In order to unfold the stand, the user needs to hold the two ends of the support frame 1 and rotate the two support frames 1 in opposite directions with the pin 5 as the base point until they form an X-shaped structure. During this process, the user can feel the comfortable grip brought by the smooth arc design at both ends of the support frame 1, as well as the stable rotation base point provided by the protrusion 4 and the pin 5.

[0039] As the support frame 1 rotates and unfolds, the first support leg 2 and the second support leg 3 will also gradually unfold from the surface of the support frame 1, forming a certain angle with the horizontal plane. During the unfolding of the first support leg 2, the user can notice that the first anti-slip rubber sleeve 6 has been fitted on the end away from the support frame 1, providing additional anti-slip performance. At the same time, the first abutment seat 7 will also abut against the side of the support frame 1 as the first support leg 2 unfolds, limiting the excessive unfolding of the first support leg 2 and enhancing the stability of the support.

[0040] Similarly, the second support leg 3 will also rotate and move through the connecting shaft 8, and after unfolding, it will abut against the side of the support frame 1. At this time, the anti-slip rubber sleeve in the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 10 will play an anti-slip role, while the buffer rubber sleeve can protect the placed object from damage. In addition, two sections of third anti-slip rubber sleeve 11 are also fitted on the side of each support frame 1. They are located on the support placement surface, which further enhances the anti-slip performance of the bracket.

[0041] When the bracket is fully extended and forms a stable inclined support surface, the user can place the object to be placed on the bracket. Because each component of the bracket has been carefully designed and optimized, it can provide the user with a stable, safe and comfortable support experience.

[0042] Finally, after use, users only need to fold the stand from the unfolded state to the storage state in reverse order. Since each part of the stand adopts a hinge and rotation design, the folding process is very easy and smooth. At the same time, the smooth arc design at both ends of the support frame 1 makes the folded stand easier to carry and store.

[0043] In summary, this ultra-thin portable quadruped is simple and easy to use, providing users with a stable, safe, and comfortable support experience.
