Abstract

An electronics stand includes: a mount on which an electronic device is mounted where the mount and the electronic device are an assembly; and a plate member coupled to the mount. The plate member includes: a first plate having a first side connected to the mount and a second side opposite the first side; a second plate having a first side foldably connected to the second side of the first plate and a second side opposite the first side of the second plate; a restrictor including a first part foldably connected to the first plate and a second part foldably connected to the first part and to the second plate; and a third plate having a first side foldably connected to the second plate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronics stand, comprising:
a mount on which an electronic device is mounted, wherein the mount and the electronic device are an assembly; and
a plate member coupled to the mount, wherein
the plate member comprises:
a first plate having a first side connected to the mount and a second side opposite the first side;
a second plate having a first side foldably connected to the second side of the first plate and a second side opposite the first side of the second plate;
a restrictor including a first part foldably connected to the first plate and a second part foldably connected to the first part and to the second plate; and
a third plate having a first side foldably connected to the second plate,

the second side of the second plate includes a connection connected to the third plate and a support located anterior to the connection in a direction from the first side of the second plate to the second side of the second plate, and
the plate member changes in posture between an expanded form and a folded form, wherein the expanded form is a form where the first plate, the second plate, the third plate, and the restrictor are expanded and the folded form is a form where the second plate is folded with respect to the first plate and placed on the second part such that:
the support of the second plate supports a back face of the electronic device;
the restrictor limits folding of the second plate with respect to the first plate;
the third plate is folded from the second plate toward the first plate; and
a back face of the assembly and the third plate are placed with a gap in-between.

2. The electronics stand according to claim 1 , wherein
the connection comprises two connections, each of the two connections connected to the third plate,
the second plate includes a protrusion that:
includes the support;
is located between the two connections; and
protrudes from the two connections, and

the third plate comprises a recess in which the protrusion is received in the expanded form.

3. The electronics stand according to claim 1 , wherein
a wall of the mount covers at least part of the back face of the electronic device, and
the support contacts the wall in the folded form.

4. The electronics stand according to claim 1 , wherein
the plate member covers a front face of the electronic device in the expanded form.
