Abstract

A multifunction base and a computer utilizing the same. The multifunction base is applicable to an electronic device, and comprises a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is detachably combined with the first portion. When the second portion and the first portion are combined, they be utilized as a base for the electronic device. When the second portion and the first portion are separated, the electronic device can be received in the first and second portions.

Claims (42)

1. A multifunction base applied to an electronic device, comprising:

a first portion, wherein the first portion comprises:

a first body;

a first cushion member disposed in the first body, wherein the electronic device abuts the first cushion member when the electronic device is received in the first portion; and

a support connected to the first body in a manner such that the support is moveable between a first position and a second position, the support is in the first position when the electronic device is received in the first portion, and the support is in the second position to be connected to the electronic device when the second portion and the first portion are combined; and

a second portion detachably combined with the first portion, wherein the first portion and the second portion can be utilized as a base for the electronic device when the second portion and the first portion are combined, and the electronic device can be received in the first portion and the second portion when the second portion and the first portion are separated.

2. The multifunction base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first body comprises a groove, the support comprises a protrusion located in the groove, and the support is moveable between the first position and the second position by the protrusion moving in the groove.

3. The multifunction base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first portion further comprises a circuit board disposed in the first body, and the electronic device is electrically connected to the circuit board when the second portion and the first portion are combined.

4. The multifunction base as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first portion further comprises:

a power wire electrically connected to the circuit board;

a signal wire electrically connected to the circuit board; and

a bottom cover combined with the first body to receive the circuit board between the first body and the bottom cover.

5. The multifunction base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second portion comprises.

a second body; and

a second cushion member disposed in the second body, wherein the electronic device abuts the second cushion member when the electronic device is received in the second portion.

6. The multifunction base as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second portion further comprises a support connected to the second body in a manner such that the support is moveable between a first position and a second position, the support is in the first position when the electronic device is received in the second portion, and the support is in the second position to be connected to the electronic device when the second portion and the first portion are combined.

7. The multifunction base as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second body comprises a groove, the support comprises a protrusion located in the groove, and the support is moveable between the first position and the second position by the protrusion moving in the groove.

8. The multifunction base as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising a pin, wherein the first body comprises a first hole, the second body comprises a second hole corresponding to the first hole, and the first portion and the second portion are combined by the pin inserting into the first hole and the second hole.

9. A computer comprising:

a screen;

a first portion, wherein the first portion comprises:

a first body;

a first cushion member disposed in the first body, wherein the screen abuts the first cushion member when the screen is received in the first portion; and

a support connected to the first body in a manner such that the support is moveable between a first position and a second positions the support is in the first position when the screen is received in the first portion and the su ort is in the second position to be connected to the screen when the second portion and the first portion are combined; and

a second portion detachably combined with the first portion, wherein the first portion and the second portion can be utilized as a base for the screen when the second portion and the first portion are combined, and the screen can be received in the first portion and the second portion when the second portion and the first portion are separated.

10. The computer as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first body comprises a groove, the support comprises a protrusion located in the groove, and the support is moveable between the first position and the second position by the protrusion moving in the groove.

11. The computer as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first portion further comprises a circuit board disposed in the first body, and the screen is electrically connected to the circuit board when the second portion is combined with the first portion.

12. The computer as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a connection wire to connect the screen and the circuit board when the second portion and the first portion are combined.

13. The computer as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the first portion further comprises:

a power wire electrically connected to the circuit board;

a signal wire electrically connected to the circuit board; and
