Abstract

An exemplary electronic device ( 30 ) includes a main body ( 40 ) and two support legs ( 43 ). The main body has two sloping slide portions ( 415 ) formed at two adjacent corners thereof. A depth of each sloping slide portion increases from one end to the other end. Each support leg are movably connected to one corresponding sloping slide portion, such that a height of the support leg relative to main body is capable of being changed when the support leg moves relative to the main body.

Claims (16)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a main body having at least one sloping slide portion, wherein a depth of each of the at least one sloping slide portion decreases from a first end to a second end; and

at least one support leg, wherein each of the at least one support leg is movably connected to each of the at least one sloping slide portion; a height of each of the at least one support leg relative to the main body is capable of being changed when the support leg moves relative to the main body.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one sloping slide portion is quarter circle shaped.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein each of the at least one sloping slide portion is a depression formed in the main body.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first end of each of the at least one sloping slide portion defines a first restricting hole; the second end of each of the at least one sloping slide portion defines a second restricting hole; a restricting protrusion configured for engaging in the first restricting hole or the second restricting hole is formed on each of the at least one support leg.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one sloping slide portion is strip-shaped.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein each of the at least one sloping slide portion is a depression formed in the main body.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one support leg comprises a main portion and a shaft extending perpendicularly from an end of the main portion; each of the at least one sloping slide portion defines a pivot hole; each shaft is received in each pivot hole.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , further comprising at least one fastening member, wherein a center of each shaft defines a fixing hole; each of the at least one fastening member engages with each fixing hole so that each of the at least one support leg is rotatably connected to the main body.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sloping slide portion comprises two sloping slide portions; the two sloping slide portions are formed in two adjacent corners of the main body; the at least one support leg comprises two support legs; each of the two support legs is rotatably received in each of the two sloping slide portions.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 being a notebook computer.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a display body rotatably connected to the main body.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the main body further comprises a housing, the housing comprises a base plate and a plurality of side plates extending perpendicularly from edges of the base plate; the at least one sloping slide portion is formed in the base plate.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , further comprising a keyboard positioned on a top portion of the housing.

14. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the main body further comprises a plurality of pads formed on the main body.
