Abstract

A foldable holder is used for holding and supporting a portable electronic device. The foldable holder includes a first section, a bending section, and a second section. The second section is connected to the first section by the bending section. The second section includes a main portion, two first support portions, a second support portion, and two third support portions. The second support portion is positioned between the two third support portions. When the foldable holder is folded, the third support portions are folded relative to the main portion, the first support portions, and the second support portion, to support the portable electronic device at an angle relative to the first section.

Claims (20)

1. A foldable holder for holding and supporting a portable electronic device, comprising:

a first section;

a bending section; and

a second section connected to the first section by the bending section, the second section including a main portion, two first support portions, at least one second support portion and at least two third support portions, the at least one second support portion is positioned between the at least two third support portions;

wherein, when folded, the third support portions are folded relative to the main portion, the first support portions and the at least one second support portion support the portable electronic device at an angle relative to the first section.

2. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a length of the bending section is shorter than a length of the first section and the second section, thereby defining a notch between the first section and the second section.

3. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first section covers a front surface of the portable electronic device with a display, the second section covers a rear surface of the portable electronic device.

4. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first support portions, the two first support portions, the at least one second support portion, and the at least two third support portions are connected to one side of the main portion.

5. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the second section defines two first slits, the two first slits are positioned at opposite sides of the second section, each first slit is aligned with one edge of the bending section and separates the first support portion from a corresponding third support portion.

6. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 5 , wherein there are one second support portion and two third support portions, the second section defines a second slit, the second slit is substantially U-shaped, and defined at a middle area of the second section to separate the second support portion from the third support portions.

7. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 5 , wherein there are three second support portions and four third support portions, the second section defines three second slits, each second slit is substantially U-shaped, and separates the three second support portions from the four third support portions.

8. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a folding line is formed between each third support portion and the main portion for allowing the third support portions are folded along the folding line.

9. A foldable holder for holding and supporting a portable electronic device, comprising:

a singular sheet including a bending section and configured for permitting the singular sheet to be folded along the bending section and dividing the singular sheet into a first section and a second section, the first section configured for covering a first surface of the portable electronic device, the second section configured for covering a second surface of the portable electronic device; the second section including folded portions and mounted portions configured for being mounted on the second surface; the second section defining at least one slit positioned between the folded portions and the mounted portions, wherein the mounted portions comprise a main portion, two first support portions, a second support portion, and the folded portions comprise two third support portions, the second support portion are positioned between the two third support portions;

wherein, when the holder is unfolded, the folded portions and the mounted portion are coplanar with each other;

when the holder is folded, the folded portions move out of the at least one slit to be folded relative to the mounted portions to support the portable electronic device in an oblique angle of view for the received portable electronic device.

10. A foldable holder for holding and supporting a portable electronic device, comprising:

a singular sheet including a bending section and configured for permitting the singular sheet to be folded along the bending section and dividing the singular sheet into a first section and a second section, the first section configured for covering a first surface of the portable electronic device, the second section configured for covering a second surface of the portable electronic device; the second section including folded portions and mounted portions configured for being mounted on the second surface; the second section defining at least one slit positioned between the folded portions and the mounted portions, wherein the mounted portions comprise a main portion, two first support portions, three second support portions, the folded portions comprise four third support portions, the second support portions are positioned among the four third support portions;

wherein, when the holder is unfolded, the folded portions and the mounted portion are coplanar with each other;

when the holder is folded, the folded portions move out of the at least one slit to be folded relative to the mounted portions to support the portable electronic device in an oblique angle of view for the received portable electronic device.
