Claim Text:
1. A stand mechanism for supporting an electronic device on a flat surface, comprising: a shell for connection with the electronic device, said shell including an outer surface that is substantially flat, and a bottom end connected to said outer surface; a supporting leg extending along a length direction and including a connecting end surface, a supporting end portion opposite to said connecting end surface, a first surface extending from one end of said connecting end surface to a corresponding end of said supporting end portion, and a second surface extending between said connecting end surface and said supporting end portion opposite to said first surface, said length direction being not perpendicular to said connecting end surface; and a fixing unit including at least one first fixing structure provided on said shell, and a second fixing structure provided on said connecting end surface and corresponding in quantity to said first fixing structure, said first and second fixing structures being detachably secured to each other; wherein said connecting end surface of said supporting leg abuts against said outer surface of said shell, said shell being supported by said supporting leg on the flat surface, said supporting leg being selectively secured to said shell at a first position, where said first surface faces said bottom end, or a second position, where said second surface faces said bottom end, said outer surface of said shell being inclined with respect to the flat surface at a first angle when said supporting leg is at said first position and a second angle when said supporting leg is at said second position; wherein said supporting leg is operable to be pulled out, turned over, and then reconnected to said shell to change between said first and second positions; wherein said fixing unit further includes at least one guide structure provided on said connecting end surface in proximity to said second fixing structure, said guide structure being used to guide connection of said second fixing structure and said first fixing structure; wherein said first fixing structure includes two retaining grooves formed in said shell, said retaining grooves being parallel to and spaced apart from each other in a direction perpendicular to said bottom end, said second fixing structure including two spaced-apart retaining hooks formed on said connecting end surface and corresponding in position to and respectively engaging said retaining grooves; and wherein said guide structure includes two spaced-apart pairs of guide posts, each pair of said guide posts being provided on two opposite sides of a respective one of said retaining hooks, each of said guide posts projecting from said connecting end surface and extending into a corresponding one of said retaining grooves.
