Reading stand

Abstract

A reading stand contains: a body and a support pedestal. The body includes an accommodation space, a peripheral frame, multiple orifices, two central hanging orifices, a reinforcement rib, two opposite second recesses, and four shock absorbers arranged on four corners of an outer periphery of the peripheral frame respectively. The stand is hollow and is formed in a rectangle shape. The support pedestal includes two extensions arranged on two opposite long sides thereof respectively, and the support pedestal includes two non-slip parts covered on the two extensions individually. One of the two extensions of the support pedestal is engaged with the two opposite first recesses or the two opposite second recesses so as to change a readable angle of the body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(11) With reference to FIGS. 1-4, a reading stand according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises: a body 10 and a support pedestal 20.

(12) The body 10 includes an accommodation space 16 defined therein, a peripheral frame 17 formed around an inner periphery of the body 10, multiple orifices 13 defined on a top and a bottom of an inner periphery of the peripheral frame 17 respectively, two central hanging orifices 15 arranged proximate to the multiple orifices 13 of the peripheral frame 17 individually, a reinforcement rib 18 formed on two sides of the inner periphery of the peripheral frame 17, two opposite first recesses 11 defined on two sides of the reinforcement rib 18, two opposite second recesses 12 formed above the two opposite first recesses 11 individually, and four shock absorbers 14 arranged on four corners of an outer periphery of the peripheral frame 17 respectively.

(13) The stand 20 is hollow and is formed in a rectangle shape, the support pedestal 20 includes two extensions 21 arranged on two opposite long sides thereof respectively, and the support pedestal 20 includes two non-slip parts 22 covered on the two extensions 21 individually.

(14) Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, one of the two extensions 21 of the support pedestal 20 is engaged with the two opposite first recesses 11 or the two opposite second recesses 12 so as to change a readable angle of the body 10 (i.e., an angle between the body 10 and the ground), and the two non-slip parts 22 of the support pedestal 20 facilitate positioning of the reading stand.

(15) As shown in FIGS. 3-5, after the one extension 21 of the support pedestal 20 is engaged with the two opposite first recesses 11 and the peripheral frame 17 abuts against a ground, the readable angle of the body 10 is 60 degrees. After the one extension 21 of the support pedestal 20 is engaged with the two opposite second recesses 12 and the peripheral frame 17 abuts against the ground, the readable angle of the body 10 is 30 degrees. When one of two opposite short sides of the support pedestal 20 is engaged with the two opposite second recesses 12, the readable angle of the body 10 is 45 degrees. Accordingly, the readable angle of the body 10 is changeable based on using requirements.

(16) As illustrated in FIGS. 6-7, the multiple orifices 13 of the body 10 accommodate multiple folder pages 30. Preferably, the support pedestal 20 is capable of being engaged with at least two bodies 10, thus increasing a number of the at least two bodies 10.

(17) With reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the body 10 is hung on a wall 40 by way of the two central hanging orifices 15. Preferably, when the body 10 is hung on the wall 40 by way of the two central hanging orifices 15, it is engaged with the support pedestal 20 so that the support pedestal 20 abuts against the wall, thus adjusting the readable angle of the body 10.

(18) While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention and other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
