[0024] The direct fitting described in the present application refers to the surfaces of two objects directly contacting and generally presenting a mutually parallel state. The indirect fitting described in the present application refers to the surfaces of two objects being separated by other objects and unable to directly contact each other but being in close proximity and generally presenting a mutually parallel state.

[0025] Although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. can be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, or portions, these components, parts, regions, and / or portions should not be limited by the terms. The terms are only used to distinguish one component, part, region, or portion from another component, part, region, layer, or portion. Therefore, "first" described below can be interpreted as "second" or "third" without departing from the teachings herein.

[0026] The present application provides an article support structure capable of being folded for supporting an article on a plane. The support structure can form an accommodation state and a plurality of different support states. Each support state can support or place the article at different heights to achieve convenience in use.

[0027] As Figures 1-6As shown, the present application provides a mobile device support structure, which includes a bending portion 10, a first lever portion 100, a second lever portion 200, and a coupling portion 300. The first lever portion 100 and the second lever portion 200 are respectively connected to the bending portion 10, and the first lever portion 100 and the second lever portion 200 are folded relative to each other about the bending portion 10 to form an included angle θ between the first lever portion 100 and the second lever portion 200. In order to support an object at various angles and heights, the bending portion 10 of the mobile device support structure according to the present application can be a pivot (but not limited to this embodiment), and the bending portion 10 of the mobile device support structure according to the present application is particularly increased in resistance, so that a user needs to exert a critical torque greater than the resistance to the bending portion 10 to overcome the resistance of the pivot and rotate the bending portion 10. In this specification, the critical torque refers to the minimum torque that can drive the bending portion 10 to rotate. And no matter at any angle, as long as the included angle θ is between 0 and 180, the resistance of the bending portion 10 can maintain the included angle θ constant without any other external force. However, in the mobile device support structure according to the present application, no matter what the orientation of the first lever portion 100 or the second lever portion 200 in space is, the mobile device support structure according to the present application can maintain the size of its included angle, unless the user specifically applies an external force greater than the critical torque. Further, when the included angle is between 0 and 180 degrees, the first moment of the gravity of the first lever portion 100 relative to the bending portion 10 or the second moment of the gravity of the second lever portion 200 relative to the bending portion 10 is less than the critical torque, so that the first lever portion 100 or the second lever portion 200 cannot rotate relative to the bending portion 10 and the included angle remains constant.

[0028] The coupling portion 300 is connected and fixed to a mobile device by permanent or non-permanent fixation. Generally, the coupling portion 300 is in the form of a sheet. However, in some embodiments, the coupling portion 300 can be a back cover or protective shell of a mobile device, and is connected and fixed to the mobile device by a non-permanent fixation of a detachable clamping mechanism.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 3-6The first lever portion 100 is connected to the coupling portion 300 through a connecting portion 400. The coupling portion 300 and the connecting portion 400 can be folded relative to the first lever portion 100 or the second lever portion 200 to form a storage state or a plurality of support states. A first end 401 of the connecting portion 400 is connected to the first lever portion 100, and a second end 402 of the connecting portion 400 is connected to the coupling portion 300. The distance D1 between the first end 401 and the second end 402 is greater than or equal to the distance D2 from the first end 401 to one end of the first lever portion 100. In the mobile device support structure related to the embodiments of the present application, the distance D1 greater than or equal to the distance D2 can make the coupling portion 300 cross the bending portion 10 and be attached to the second lever portion 200.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , which is a schematic diagram of the mobile device support structure related to the embodiments of the present application changing from the storage state to the first support state. Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the storage state of the mobile device support structure related to the embodiments of the present application. In the storage state, the coupling portion 300 is directly or indirectly attached to the first lever portion 100, and the first lever portion 100 is directly or indirectly attached to the second lever portion 200. In some embodiments, the first lever portion 100 and the coupling portion 300 are maintained in the state of being directly or indirectly attached to each other by magnetic force. As shown in Figure 1 , the mobile device support structure related to the embodiments of the present application is formed in a substantially sheet shape. The user can fold the first lever portion 100 and the second lever portion 200 relative to each other to form the state shown in Figure 2 , separate the coupling portion 300 from the first lever portion 100, and pull the coupling portion 300 upward to form the state shown in Figures 3-5 . Finally, as shown in Figures 6-7 , the coupling portion 300 is attached to the second lever portion 200 across the bending portion 10 to form the first support state. In the prior art, after the coupling portion 300 is pulled upward, it is only attached to a small part of the first lever portion 100, which causes the coupling portion 300 to be overturned backward after the mobile device is coupled to the coupling portion 300 due to the weight of the mobile device. However, in the mobile device support structure related to the embodiments of the present application, the coupling portion 300 is attached to the second lever portion 200, which does not cause the coupling portion 300 to be overturned backward under the weight of the mobile device. In the first support state, the included angle is greater than 0 degrees, and the connecting portion 400 is not attached to the first lever portion 100 or only touches the first lever portion 100.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 8, which is a second support state of the mobile device support structure related to embodiments of the present application. It differs from the first support state in the relative position of the coupling portion 300 up and down, that is, in the first support state, the user can push the coupling portion 300 down along the second lever portion 200 to form the second support state. Similarly, the included angle between the first lever portion 100 and the second lever portion 200 is greater than 0 degrees. In the second support state, the connecting portion 400 is at least partially in direct or indirect contact with the first lever portion 100. In this way, the user can support the mobile device in a different position compared to the first support state. In some embodiments, the second lever portion is maintained in direct or indirect contact with the coupling portion by magnetic force, or the connecting portion 400 is maintained in direct or indirect contact with the first lever portion 100 by magnetic force, so that the mobile device support structure related to embodiments of the present application is maintained in the first or second support state.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 9-10 , which is a schematic diagram of a third support state of the mobile device support structure related to embodiments of the present application. In the third support state, the coupling portion 300 is partially in direct or indirect contact with the first lever portion 100, the connecting portion 400 is at least partially in direct or indirect contact with the coupling portion 300, and the included angle is greater than 0 degrees.

[0033] In use, the mobile device support structure related to embodiments of the present application can be used by the user to fold the first lever portion 100 and the second lever portion 200 relative to each other to form an included angle θ, and adjust the included angle θ to any desired angle and height. At the same time, the user can also fold the coupling portion 300 to form various support states. In this way, the user can view the mobile device at different heights and angles.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 9-10 In some embodiments, the first lever portion 100 or the second lever portion 200 further comprises a storage space 500 for storing a sheet-shaped article (e.g., a credit card). In addition, the first lever portion 100 or the second lever portion 200 further comprises a window 600 for allowing the user to directly access the sheet-shaped article stored in the storage space. In this way, the user can view the article in the storage space 500 through the window 600, or push the sheet-shaped article out of the storage space 500 through the window 600 to facilitate the removal of the sheet-shaped article.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the user can also engage the mobile device with the coupling portion 300 in different ways.

[0036] The mobile device support structure of the embodiments of the present application is designed as a structure of a fixed article so as to allow a user to watch or operate the article, thereby greatly improving the convenience of the user's life. Further, the mobile device support structure of the embodiments of the present application is in a sheet shape, thereby greatly reducing the thickness when stored. Since the mobile device support structure of the embodiments of the present application has a magnetic member, the mobile device support structure is not easily unfolded by mistake, thereby being very convenient to use, store and carry, and increasing the convenience and practicability when used.
