Electronic device with support

1. An electronic device comprising:

a main body, wherein the main body is hollow and defines a substantially circular through hole in a bottom wall thereof; and

a support comprising a rotary socket, a retaining ring, a fixing cover, a support member, and a shaft; wherein the rotary socket and the retaining ring are mounted to the main body via the fixing cover, the rotary socket is limited to rotate within the retaining ring, and the shaft rotatably connects the support member to the rotary socket, the support member is capable of being rotated to support the electronic device in a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation; and

wherein the rotary socket comprises a circular base and an upper circular portion stacked on the circular base, the circular portion is aligned with and fitted into the circular through hole; the circular portion defines a receiving slot running radially, a rectangular through hole is defined in a bottom of the receiving slot, two first shaft holes are defined in opposite side surfaces of the rectangular though hole, respectively, the circular base defines an insertion slot in a lateral surface and communicates with the receiving slot through one of the first shaft holes.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the circular portion is substantially equal to or slightly smaller than that of the circular through hole and is smaller than that of the circular base.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the circular base defines a recess in its upper surface that extends around the circular portion, the recess comprises two ends, each of which defines an indentation.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the length of the recess is about one third of the length of the periphery of the circular base.

5. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the main body is cuboid shaped and defines an elongated recess in an outer surface of the bottom wall, the elongated recess communicates with the circular through hole, extends along either the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction of the main body, and includes an open end in a sidewall of the main body.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein two magnets are attached to opposite side surfaces of the elongated recess, respectively, close to the circular through hole; other two magnets are received in the indentations, respectively; the rotary socket can be held in position by the attractive force between one of the two magnets attached to opposite side surfaces of the elongated recess and one of the two magnets received in the indentations.

7. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the main body comprises three fastener-receiving rods protruding from inner surface of its bottom and arranged around the circular through hole, the fixing cover is generally a circular plate with three ears extending outward from the periphery of the circular plate and arranged corresponding to the fastener-receiving rods.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the inner diameter of the retaining ring is substantially equal to or slightly larger than that of the circular base.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining ring defines an annular groove in the inner surface at one end, the inner diameter of the annular groove is smaller than that of the circular base, but larger than that of the circular portion.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the retaining ring defines a notch at the end where the annular groove is formed, the retaining ring is arranged around the rotary socket with the support member received in the notch, thereby the rotary socket is limited to rotate within the retaining ring.

11. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the support member comprises a rotation end and a support end;

the rotation end is shaped to be fittingly and rotatably inserted into the rectangular through hole and defines a second shaft hole;

the support end is shaped to be fittingly open end received in the open end and received in the rectangular through hole with the first shaft holes aligned with the second shaft hole; and

the shaft passes through the insertion slot, one of the first shaft hole, the second shaft hole, and the other first shaft hole sequentially to rotatably connect the support member to the rotary socket.
