First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing device comprising:
- an enclosure having an area behind a perimeter, electronic components of the computing device disposed inside the enclosure;
a support member rotatably connected to the enclosure at a first end of the support member, via a shaft disposed within the enclosure along the perimeter of the enclosure; and
a panel connected at a second end of the support member opposite the first end, the panel comprising a display surface of the computing device;
wherein the panel is fixedly connected to the second end of the support member,wherein the panel is to enclose the enclosure when the support member is rotated towards the enclosure, andwherein, when the support member is to rotate via the shaft, the support member is to wrap around the perimeter of the enclosure when the panel is opened away from the enclosure and is stowed away within the area behind the perimeter when the panel is closed over the enclosure.

Abstract
Examples disclosed herein provide a computing device. One example computing device includes an enclosure and a support member rotatably connected to the enclosure at a first end of the support member, via a shaft disposed within the enclosure along a perimeter of the enclosure. The computing device includes a panel connected at a second end of the support member opposite the first end. As an example, the panel is to enclose the enclosure when the support member is to rotate towards the enclosure. When the support member is to rotate via the shaft, the support member is to wrap around the perimeter of the enclosure.

11. A computing device comprising:
-
an enclosure having an area behind a perimeter, with electronic components of the computing device disposed in the area of the enclosure; a support member rotatably connected to the enclosure at a first end of the support member, via a shaft disposed within the enclosure along the perimeter of the enclosure; and a panel fixedly connected at a second end of the support member opposite the first end, the panel comprising a display surface of the computing device, wherein the panel is to enclose the enclosure when the support member is to rotate towards the enclosure, and wherein, when the support member is to rotate via the shaft, the support member is curved to wrap around the perimeter of the enclosure when the panel is opened away from the enclosure, and when the panel is fully open away from the enclosure, the panel is supported by the support member at a downward angle with a distal edge of the panel away from the enclosure being lower than a proximal edge of the panel attached to the support member. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computing device comprising:
- an enclosure having an area behind a perimeter, with electronic components of the computing device disposed inside the enclosure;
a support member rotatably connected to the enclosure at a first end of the support member, via a shaft disposed within the enclosure along the perimeter of the enclosure, wherein a pivot point of the support member around the shaft has a frictional value to limit a speed of the rotation of the support member; and
a panel fixedly connected at a second end of the support member opposite the first end, the panel comprising a display surface of the computing device, wherein, when the panel is opened away from the enclosure, the support member is to wrap around the perimeter of the enclosure and, when the panel is to be closed over the enclosure, the support member is stowed away within the area behind the perimeter. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
