Abstract

An electronic equipment accessory includes an accessory body and a holder assembly connected to the accessory body. The holder assembly includes a support member and a base. The base is rotatably connected to the accessory body. The support member is rotatable relative to the base between an extended position and a folded position. At the extended position, an included angle is formed between the support member and the base to thereby allow the accessory body to be supported on a support surface. The support member is rotatable relative to the base in one direction and the base is rotatable relative to the accessory body in another direction, thus the support member of the electronic equipment accessory can be adjusted with respect to the accessory body in multiple directions to thereby allow the electronic equipment accessory to support electronic equipment on a support surface at multiple different directions or tilted angles.

First claim

What is claimed is:

wherein the electronic equipment accessory further comprises a connecting member configured to pivotably connect the support member and the base; the connecting member comprises a first sheet-shaped mounting portion connected to the support member, a second sheet-shaped mounting portion connected to a side of the base opposite to the support member, and an axle pivotably connect the first sheet-shaped mounting and the second sheet-shaped mounting portion such that the support member is rotatable relative to the base; the second sheet-shaped mounting portion comprises an axle mounting portion protruding therefrom, the axle mounting portion defining a hole for receiving the axle; and the base defines a through opening and the axle mounting portion extends through the through opening.

2 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the base is rotatable about a first rotation axis relative to the accessory body, the support member is rotatable about a second rotation axis relative to the base, and the first and second rotation axis are perpendicular to each other.

3 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the accessory body is formed with an accommodation trough;
the base is received in the accommodation trough and rotatable relative to the accessory body; and the support member is stacked on the base at the folded position, and the support member forms a preset angle with respect to the base at the extended position.

4 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the electronic equipment accessory further comprises another connecting member configured to retain the base in the accommodation trough.

5 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the accommodation trough and the base are both of an annular form, the accommodation trough comprising an outer side wall and an inner side wall opposite to each other, the base comprising an outer joining surface and an inner joining surface that are respectively arranged adjacent to the outer side wall and the inner side wall; and
the another connecting member is partly received in a recess defined in one of the outer side wall, the outer joining surface, the inner side wall and the inner joining surface.

6 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the base is formed with a first retention groove with a groove opening and the accommodation trough is formed with a second retention groove with a groove opening, the groove openings of the first retention groove and the second retention groove being arranged to face each other, the another connecting member being arranged in both of the first retention groove and the second retention groove;
the another connecting member is a C-shaped ring; the base defines two detachment openings which are in one-to-one correspondence to opposite ends of the C-shaped ring.

7 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 6 , wherein each of the detachment openings is aligned with a corresponding end of the C-shaped ring in a radial direction or an axial direction of the C-shaped ring.

8 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to each other in a thickness direction of the base;
the through opening passes through the top surface and the bottom surface in the thickness direction; and the second mounting portion is attached to a connecting position of the bottom surface of the base, and the through opening is closer to an outer periphery of the base than the connecting position of the bottom surface.

9 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a pair of blocking portions facing opposite ends of the axle respectively for limiting movement of the axle in an axis direction of the axle.

10 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a recessed portion for accommodating the support member when the support member is located at the folded position, and the recessed portion is formed on another side of the base opposite to said side of the base.

11 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the support member has a ring shape with an outer circumferential surface, and a flatted portion is formed at a position of the outer circumferential surface corresponding to the second connecting member, the sheet-shaped first mounting portion of the connecting member extending beyond the flatted portion to be connected with the axle.

12 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the axle comprises an outer circumferential surface formed with at least one flatted section, one of the first sheet-shaped mounting portion and the second sheet-shaped mounting portion of the connecting member comprises a sleeve sleeved on the axle such that said one of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion of the connecting member together with the sleeve and the axle is rotatable relative to another one of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion of the connecting member.

13 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein a partition member is attached on the side of base opposite to the support member, the base and the partition member being made of different materials.

14 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the electronic equipment accessory further comprises a positioning structure which comprises a position-limiting part and a positioning part cooperating with each other;
one of the position-limiting part and the positioning part is arranged on the base, while another one of the position-limiting part and the positioning part is arranged on the accessory body; and the position-limiting part defines a plurality of position-limiting notches arranged in a circumferential direction thereof.

15 . The electronic equipment accessory in accordance with claim 1 , wherein a magnetic attraction member is arranged on the support member, and the support member is of a circular shape or an annular form; and
