ELECTRONIC DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH A SUPPORT STAND

摘要

An example electronic display system including a housing with a recess, a top side, and a bottom side opposite the top side and a kickstand having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end being rotatably coupled to the housing proximate the bottom side, and the second end being rotationally biased away from the housing. A variable friction assembly is coupled to the first end. The kickstand has a first position in which the second end is received within the recess, and a second position in which the second end is substantially rotatably separated from the recess. Further, the variable friction assembly applies a first friction load to the first end when the kickstand is the first position, and a second friction load when the kickstand is in the second position, wherein the first friction load is greater than the second friction load.

主权项

1. An electronic display system, comprising:
a housing having a top side and a bottom side opposite the top side; a kickstand having an elongate member further including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end being rotatably coupled to the housing proximate the bottom side thus forming an angle of rotation between the elongate member and the housing, and the second end being rotationally biased away from the housing; and a variable friction assembly to apply a variable level of friction to the first end to resist rotation of the kickstand about the first end; wherein the elongate member of the kickstand is rotatable from a first position in which the angle of rotation is approximately zero, to a second position in which the angle of rotation is greater than ninety degrees; and wherein the variable friction assembly is to apply an increasing level of friction to the first end as the angle of rotation decreases from the second position to the first position.
