Digital photo frame

A digital photo frame includes a body, a back shell defining a hole and a rotary support. The rotary support is rotatably connected to the back shell, includes a rotary base rotatably received in the hole, a connection member pivotedly connected to the rotary base, and an elongated support body slidably coupled to the connection member. The connection member includes a spring tab, a support body defining a plurality of channels. The channels are arranged along a lengthwise direction of the connection portion. the spring tab is selectively snappingly engaged in one of the channels. One of the rotary base and the back shell includes a plurality of protrusions, and the other one of the rotary base and the back shell defines a plurality of notches corresponding to the protrusions, the protrusions are snappingly engaging in the respective notches.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to digital photo frame, especially to an digital photo frame with an adjustable support.

2. Description of Related Art

A portable digital photo frames usually includes a support. The support can usually only supports the photo frame in one or two orientations, which can not meet a user's need in specific condition. More over, digital photo frames include many ports, which need one or more covers to cover the ports for preventing dust entering the ports. It is desirable and useful if the support can support the digital photo frame in more orientations and can cover the ports.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring toFIGS. 1-2, a digital photo frame100according to an exemplary embodiment includes a body10and a rotary support20connected to the back of the body10. The rotary support20is configured to support the main body10.

The body10includes a front shell11, a display screen12and a back shell13. The front shell11and the back shell13cooperatively define a space to receive the display screen12and a circuit board (not shown), and the display screen12is exposed at the front shell11. Referring toFIGS. 3 and 4, in the embodiment, a recess14is defined in the back shell13and a number of connector ports (not shown) are arranged in the recess14. A round hole15is defined approximately in the center of the back shell13, and is in communication with the recess14through a channel16. The rotary support20is received in the space defined corporately by the round hole15, the channel16and the recess14. In the embodiment, when the rotary support20is closed, the free end of the rotary20is fit in and covers the recess14, and thus can prevent dust from entering the connector ports in the recess14.

Referring toFIGS. 5 and 6, the fixing end of the rotary support20is fixed in the round hole15. A number of protrusions153extend inwardly from the lateral surface of the round hole15. The ends of the protrusions153are connected together via a circular ring151. A number of protrusions154that are equidistantly spaced apart from each other extend from the lateral surface of the round hole15.

The rotary support20includes a rotary base21, a connection member22and an elongated support body23. The rotary base21includes a body portion215and a side surface216extending around the body portion215. A number of latching members211are protruded from one side of the body portion215and clasps the edge of the circular ring151, thereby rotatablely connecting the rotary base21to the back shell13. A number of notches212are equidistantly spaced apart from each other and are defined in the side surface216facing the circular ring151and can receive the protrusions154therein to keep the rotary support20in a preset position relative to the back shell13.

In an alternative embodiment, the protrusions154may be formed on the side surface216and the notches212may be defined in the lateral surface of the round hole15. An arcuate portion213is formed on the bottom of the rotary base21. A first though hole214penetrates through the arcuate portion213. One end of the connection member22is arranged at the opposite side of the arcuate portion213.

The connection member22is a substantially planar plate, and includes one end including two shaft engaging portions221formed at opposite sides of the end. Each shaft engaging portion221defines a second through hole222. A pin24paralleling to the display screen12penetrates through the first through hole214and the second through hole222, thereby rotatably connecting the connection member22to the rotary base21. The other, opposite end of the connection member22includes a spring tab223received in a channel. The free end of the spring tab223includes a projection224. In the embodiment, the spring tab223is integrally formed with the connection member22.

Referring toFIG. 7, the elongated support body23is T-shaped, and includes a connection portion231and a support portion232approximately perpendicular to the connection portion231. Two sliding grooves233extend along opposite sides of the connection portion231and are used to slidably fit the opposite sides of the connection member22therein. A number of channels234are parallel with each other and are defined in the inner side of the connection portion231and are arranged along the lengthwise direction of the connection portion231. The projection224of the spring tab223can be received in one channel234, thereby retaining the elongated support body23in a desired position relative to the connection member22. When pushing the elongated support body23, the projection224can slide out of one of the channels234and slide into another of the channels234to reposition the elongated support body23with respect to the connection member22. The support portion232has a configuration matching the recess14and can thus cover the ports of the digital photo frame in the recess14.
