Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a rack and more particularly, to a rack for supporting a tablet PC. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Following market saturation of desktop computer and fast market growth of notebook computer, tablet PC has been gradually becoming the next generation for the advantages of high mobility and unique functions of touch input and digital ink. [0005] Normally, a tablet PC user holds the tablet PC with one hand and operates the tablet PC with the other hand when walking or standing still. However, when sitting on a chair, the user may have to put the tablet PC on the table in horizontal for operation. However, the user's view angle is limited when operating a tablet PC on a flat surface in horizontal. [0006] Therefore, tablet PC racks are developed for supporting a tablet PC on a flat surface in a tilt position for operation. A tablet PC rack for this purpose generally comprises...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a rack for tablet PC, which has wire reel means for receiving electric lines from the loaded tablet PC in a good order. It is another object of the present invention to provide a rack for tablet PC, which keeps the loaded tablet PC firmly in place, preventing falling of the loaded tablet PC during adjustment of view angle.

[0010] In brief, the present invention has been set up a wire reel in the middle of the rack. When a tablet PC lies on the rack, the wire reel will locate behind the tablet PC, and be used to wind the spare electric wire of optional device (such as a power supply adapter, a keyboard, or a mouse). Furthermore, the upwardly expanded end blocks of the two front bearing portions of the second support device can be used to keep the tablet PC firmly in place, preventing falling of the tablet PC during adjustment of view angle.

Problems solved by technology

However, when sitting on a chair, the user may have to put the tablet PC on the table in horizontal for operation.

However, the user's view angle is limited when operating a tablet PC on a flat surface in horizontal.

However, it is well known that the battery of a tablet PC is insufficient to support working for a long period of time.

The electric wire of the attached AC adapter and peripheral apparatus may be tangled or disorderly extending over the top of the table.

Further, conventional racks for tablet PC have no means to stop the loaded tablet PC on the support means, and the tablet PC may fall from the support means when user moves the angle of the support means to adjust the view angle.
