Patent ID: 8403288

Claim:
A supporting mechanism for supporting a device, the device comprising a first sidewall and at least one second sidewall different from the first sidewall, the supporting mechanism comprising: a rotating member rotatably coupled to the device, and capable of being rotated from a first position perpendicular to the first sidewall to a second position perpendicular to the at least one second sidewall; and a supporting member rotatably coupled to the rotating member and being foldable on the device; wherein when the rotating member is rotated to the first position, the supporting member is unfolded and cooperates with the first sidewall to support the device in a first orientation; when the rotating member is rotated to the second position, the supporting member is unfolded and cooperates with the at least one second sidewall to support the device in a second orientation different from the first orientation; wherein the supporting mechanism further comprises a limiting member fixed to the device, the limiting member resists the rotating member to prevent the rotating member from moving when the rotating member is located in one of the first and second positions; wherein the rotating member comprises a base and two extending portions respectively extending from ends of the base, ends of the extending portions adjacent to the base define two round holes, the supporting member is rotatably coupled to the rotating member via the round holes.
