Abstract

Ultraportable support (A, B, B′, C, D, E), comprising at least two feet ( 2 ) attached by means of hinges ( 3 ) allowing rotation of said feet ( 2 ), a locking system ( 5 ) of the hinges ( 3 ) allowing to maintain the feet ( 2 ) into different angular positions, the support further comprises at least two straps ( 4 ) whose width is substantially constant over the entire length, each of the straps ( 4 ) being attached to the two opposed feet ( 2 ) at a location of the foot distant from the hinges ( 3 ).

Claims (19)

1. Ultraportable support, comprising

at least two opposed feet attached using hinges allowing rotation of said feet,

a locking system of the hinges allowing to maintain the feet into at least two different angular positions, one of said positions corresponding to a folded position for transport or storage and another angular position corresponding to an unfolded position for support utilization, and

at least two straps, wherein each of the at least two straps has substantially constant width over entire length of said straps, each of the straps being attached to the two opposed feet at a location of the foot distant from the hinges.

2. The support according to claim 1 , wherein the locking system is integrated in the hinges.

3. The support according to claim 1 , wherein the feet are fixed indirectly to both laterally opposite sides of a plate and wherein the angular positions of the feet relatively to the plate comprise a value of about 0° for transport or storage in the folded position and a value between 60 and 120° for utilization in the unfolded position.

4. The support according to claim 3 , wherein the plate has an inclination angle between 2 and 70° relatively to the horizontal when it is placed in the unfolded position on a flat and horizontal contact surface.

5. The support according to claim 3 , further comprising one or more hinge(s) through the plate.

6. The support according to claim 3 , further comprising a fastening system for a tablet computer, a laptop/notebook/ultrabook computer, a smart phone or a screen.

7. The support according to claim 6 , wherein the fastening system is formed by a groove or slot in the plate and comprises attachment means for plugging a tablet computer, smart phone or screen in an inclined plane relatively to the plate, preferably pivoting.

8. Ultraportable support, comprising

at least two opposed feet attached using hinges allowing rotation of said feet;

a locking system of the hinges allowing to maintain the feet into at least two different angular positions, one of said positions corresponding to a folded position for transport or storage and another angular position corresponding to an unfolded position for support utilization, wherein the locking system is integrated in the hinges; and

at least two straps, wherein each of the at least two straps has substantially constant width over entire length of said straps, each of the straps being attached to the two opposed feet at a location of the foot distant from the hinges,

wherein the feet are fixed indirectly to both laterally opposite sides of a plate, and wherein the angular positions of the feet relatively to the plate comprise a value of about 0° for transport or storage in the folded position and a value between 60 and 120° for utilization in the unfolded position,

wherein the plate has an inclination angle between 2 and 70° relatively to the horizontal when it is placed in the unfolded position on a flat and horizontal contact surface, and

wherein the ultraportable support further comprises

one or more hinge(s) extending through the plate; and

a fastening system formed by a groove or slot in the plate, the fastening system comprising attachment means for plugging a tablet computer, smart phone or screen in an inclined plane relatively to the plate, preferably pivoting.
