Information handling device with built-in stand

1. An information handling device, comprising:

a housing;

at least two supporting members;

a display;

a processor; and

memory for storing data to affect output by the processor to the display;

wherein the display, processor, and memory are located within the housing;

the housing comprising a recess in which the at least two supporting members are housed, the recess having a top edge, a bottom edge, and two parallel side edges; and

the two parallel side edges of the recess comprising a high coefficient of friction produced by a mechanism selected from the group consisting of a plurality of stop points positioned in the parallel side edges and a material formed in the parallel side edges having the high coefficient of friction.

2. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein the members are pivotally connected to each other.

3. The information handling device of claim 2 , wherein one member, at a distal end from the pivot, is pivotally connected to the housing.

4. The information handling device of claim 2 , wherein one of the two members comprises a finger detent.

5. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein the stop points comprise indents on which a member rests.

6. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein the material having the high coefficient of friction is a non-slip surface.

7. A method, comprising:

pivoting a first supporting member disposed within a recess located within a housing for an information handling device with respect to the housing, the recess having a top edge, a bottom edge, and two parallel side edges;

pivoting a second supporting member disposed within the recess located within a housing for an information handling device with respect to the first member; and

securing, to the recess, an end of the second member that is disposed away from the first member;

wherein the securing comprises securing a top of the second member in the parallel side edges of the recess comprising a high coefficient of friction produced by a mechanism selected from the group consisting of a plurality of stop points positioned in the parallel side edges and a material formed in the parallel side edges having the high coefficient of friction.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first and second members are pivotally connected to each other.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein one of the first and second supporting members, at a distal end from the pivot, is pivotally connect to the housing.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein one of the two members comprises a finger detent.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the stop points comprise indents on which a top portion of the top supporting member rests.

12. A product, comprising:

a housing for an information handling device that includes a recess in which an articulating stand member is housed, the recess having a top edge, a bottom edge, and two parallel side edges;

the two parallel side edges of the recess comprising a high coefficient of friction produced by a mechanism selected from the group consisting of a plurality of stop points positioned in the parallel side edges and a material formed in the parallel side edges having the high coefficient of friction;

wherein the stand member pivots at a point in a central portion;

wherein one end of the stand member, at a distal end from the point, is pivotally connected to the housing; and

wherein another end of the stand member is releasably securable to the housing in at least one position to form the articulated stand.

13. The product of claim 12 , wherein the stand member comprises at least two members.

14. The product of claim 12 , wherein the housing comprises a removable cover for an information handing device.

15. The product of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of stop points comprise indents on which the another end of the stand member rests.

16. The product of claim 12 , wherein the material having the high coefficient of friction is a non-slip surface.
