Abstract

A notebook computer includes a main body, two connecting assemblies, and a display. The main body comprises an upper surface and two first joint members disposed on two corners of the upper surface. Each of the connecting assemblies includes an arm, a connecting shaft, and a stop cover. One end of the arm is rotatably connected to a first joint member. The connecting shaft is perpendicularly is connected to the arm, and adjacent to a distal end of the arm from the first joint member. The stop cover is rotatably disposed on the distal end. The display defines a pair of axle holes at one sidewall. The display is disposed between the two arms of the two connecting assemblies, and each connecting shaft of each arm is rotatably inserted in the axle hole.

Claims (21)

1. A notebook computer comprising:

a main body comprising an upper surface and two first joint members disposed on two corners of the upper surface;

two connecting assemblies, each of the connecting assemblies comprising:

an arm; one end of the arm rotatably connected to a first joint member;

a connecting shaft perpendicularly connected to the arm, and adjacent to a distal end of the arm from the first joint member; and

a stop cover rotatably disposed on the distal end; and

a display defining a pair of axle holes at one sidewall; the display disposed between the two arms of the two connecting assemblies, each connecting shaft of each arm rotatably inserted in the axle hole.

2. The notebook computer in claim 1 , wherein the connecting assemblies further comprise a stop sleeve, and the stop sleeve moveably sleeves onto the arm.

3. The notebook computer in claim 2 , wherein each of the first joint members defines a first shaft hole.

4. The notebook computer in claim 3 , wherein the arm comprises a pair of first side surfaces and a pair of second side surfaces; the arm defines a second shaft hole extending through the second side surfaces on one distal end, and the connecting shaft is disposed on the first side surface.

5. The notebook computer in claim 4 , wherein the arm defines a receiving slot on the other distal end, forming two holding plates, and each holding plate defines a first sleeve hole.

6. The notebook computer in claim 5 , wherein the stop cover comprises a base, a spacing plate and two side plates; the spacing plate extends uprightly from one edge of the base, the two opposite side plates extend uprightly from two edges of the base correspondingly, the spacing plate is disposed between the side plates, and each of side plates defines a second sleeve hole at one end away from the spacing plate.

7. The notebook computer in claim 6 , wherein the connecting assembly further comprises a first shaft and a second shaft, the first shaft inserts through the first sleeve hole and the first shaft hole, and the second shaft inserts through the second sleeve hole and the second shaft hole.

8. The notebook computer in claim 1 , wherein the arm is a hollow rectangular rod; and the connecting shaft is a hollow cylindrical rod.

9. A notebook computer comprising:

a main body comprising an upper surface and two first joint members disposed on two corners of the upper surface;

two connecting assemblies, each of the connecting assemblies comprising:

an arm; one end of the arm rotatably connected to a first joint member;

a connecting shaft perpendicularly connected to the arm, and adjacent to a distal end of the arm from the first joint member; and

a stop cover rotatably disposed on the distal end; and

a display defining a pair of axle holes at one sidewall, and comprising a position sensor configured to detect the orientation of the display; the display disposed between the two arms of the two connecting assemblies, each connecting shaft of each arm rotatably inserted in the axle hole.
