Rotatable Electronic Apparatus Support Member for Adjustable Angles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic apparatuses, such as laptops, lack sufficient support positions for their displays, limiting their versatility, especially when users need to perform tasks like drawing.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a rotatable first and second body with a support member that allows for multiple positional relationships, enabling a supported state with the support member between the bodies and an unsupported state, allowing for enhanced support and flexibility in usage positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic apparatus has fixed support positions, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability to different usage scenarios is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is designed to be movable between a first position (providing support) and a second position (not providing support), allowing the electronic apparatus to dynamically adapt between different usage states. This dynamic configuration enables multiple support angles without requiring multiple fixed support structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The support member serves multiple functions: it provides support at an first angle for comfortable viewing and typing, can be moved to a second position for portability, and maintains structural integrity. This single component replaces what would traditionally require multiple fixed support mechanisms.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the support member is always between the first body and second body, then the support stability is improved, but the portability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The support member transitions from a static always-supported design to a dynamic configurable design where it can be positioned in a first position for stability during use or a second position for portability, allowing users to switch between states as needed.
3Volume of moving object
If the first body and second body are always parallel, then the storage efficiency is improved, but the usage versatility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable connection allows the first body and second body to dynamically adjust their relative positions - maintaining a parallel first positional relationship for compact storage, or forming an angled second positional relationship for diverse usage scenarios like drawing or typing at different angles.

AI summary
An electronic apparatus includes a support member, a first body, and a second body. The first body is of a plate shape and includes a first surface. A first I/O device is arranged on the first surface. The second body is of a plate shape. Ends of the first body and the second body are rotatably connected. In a first positional relationship, the first body and the second body are parallel to each other. In a second positional relationship, the first body and the second body form an angle. In a supported state, the first I/O device faces away from the second body, and the support member is between the first body and the second body to limit the first body from approaching the second body. In an unsupported state, the support member does not limit the first body from approaching the second body.
