Claim Text:
1. A supporting mechanism for supporting a first module on a second module, the first module being pivoted to the second module via a hinge assembly, comprising: a first member comprising a sliding end slidably installed on the first module; and a second member connected to the first member in a relatively slidable manner, the first member being stretchable with respect to the second member and rotatable with the second member, the second member comprising a pivoting end pivoted to the second module, the sliding end of the first member sliding on the first module along a first direction toward the hinge assembly when the first module is rotated along an expanding direction with respect to the second module, so as to activate the second member to rotate with respect to the second module, such that the first member slides with respect to and at least partially stretches out of the second member along a second direction substantially parallel to an orientation of the second member, and wherein a friction force is generated between the first member and the second member when the first member slides along the second direction with respect to the second member.
