Support assembly and computer device having the same
First Claim
1. A support assembly to support a computer device main body having a display section, comprising:
- a base member disposed on an installation surface;
a support unit, having a predetermined curvature, that is coupled with the computer device main body on one side thereof, and that reciprocates according to a tilting movement of the computer device main body between an upright position that positions the computer device main body upright with respect to the installation surface and a tablet position that positions the computer device main body in parallel with the installation surface;
a guide rail that is coupled with the base member on a first side thereof and that is supported by a portion of the support unit on a second side thereof, to guide the reciprocation of the support unit; and
an elastic unit that is coupled to the support unit to provide an elastic force that maintains a tilting position of the computer device main body when the computer device main body tilts between the upright position and the tablet position,wherein the computer device main body moves along the predetermined curvature during the tilting movement.
