Abstract

The invention discloses an electronic device comprising a casing and a stand. The stand is detachably disposed on the casing for supporting the electronic device on a plane and rotatably disposed at a first position or a second position with respect to the casing. The casing has a first engaging portion located on a first side thereof. The stand comprises a second engaging portion pivotally connected to the first engaging portion along a first direction. An incline extending along a second direction different from the first direction is disposed on the casing. Once the electronic device is hit by a force and the stand is at the second position, the stand will slide along the incline and then the second engaging portion will depart from the first engaging portion, so as to make the stand depart from the casing.

Claims (20)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a casing with a first engaging portion located on a first side of the casing;

a stand detachably disposed on the casing for supporting the electronic device on a plane, the stand being rotatably disposed at a first position or a second position with respect to the casing and having a second engaging portion pivotally connected to the first engaging portion along a first direction; and

an incline located on the casing and extending along a second direction different from the first direction;

wherein when the electronic device is hit by a force at the second direction and the stand is disposed at the second position, the stand slides along the incline, the second engaging portion departs from the first engaging portion, and the stand departs from the casing.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is parallel to the plane.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the incline has a first end and a second end, and the second end is bulgier than the first end at the first direction.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the first engaging portion is disposed at the first end of the incline.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein when the stand is disposed at on the second portion, the stand is against the first end of the incline.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first engaging portion is a first protruding point, and the second engaging portion is a first sheet with a first aperture whose depth is larger than the height of the first protruding point.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a third engaging portion disposed on a second side of the casing; and

a fourth engaging portion disposed on the stand and for pivotally connecting to the third engaging portion at the first direction.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the third engaging portion is a second protruding point, and the fourth engaging portion is a second sheet with a second aperture whose depth is larger than the height of the second protruding point.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the casing comprises a recess, and the stand comprises a latch, when the stand is disposed at the first position, the latch engages with the recess.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a processor; and

a sensor electrically connected to the processor and pushed against by the stand, the sensor being disposed on the casing and adjacent to the first engaging portion;

wherein when the stand is detached from the sensor, the sensor sends out a signal to the processor, and the processor shuts down the electronic device.
