Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a keyboard, cover and stand especially for a "Tablet”.
  • the invention seeks to provide a solution to this problem.
  • a keyboard, cover and stand for a Tablet having a rear face and front screen face comprising:
  • the cover ember includes at least one strip of magnetic material to hold the cover member into a triangular structure.
  • the cover member has three folds lines dividing the cover member into four panels, and two end panels overlap when the cover member is folded into the triangular structure.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view with the cover member in the first position
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view with the cover member in the second position.
  • Tablet X having a front screen face Y and rear face Z such as an "I-Pad” as is well known in the art. .
  • a keyboard cover and stand I for Tablet X A substantially planar and rectangular base member 2 is provided supporting a keyboard 3 on one face, and has a bottom face 4. Base member 2 has a rear edge 2A.
  • a substantially planar and rectangular cover member 5 is provided having a rear edge 5A edge hinged to the rear edge 2A of the base member 2 by a hinge 6.
  • Cover member 5 can fold into a first position over the base member 2 to cover the keyboard 3 (see Figure 1 ). In this first position the base member and cover member can be placed over the front screen face Y of Tablet X to protect it with the bottom face 4 of the base ember abutting the screen face Y.
  • Cover member 5 has three fold lines 7A,7B,7C to divide the cover into four rectangular panels 8A,8B,8C, 8D.
  • Panel 8A includes metallic material 9A and panel 8D includes magnetic material 9D attracted to metallic material 8A.
  • Cover member 5 can be folded into an elongate triangular structure to lie in a second position adjacent the edge of the base member as shown in Figure 2. In this position panel 8A overlaps panel 8D and the magnetic material 9D attracted to metallic material 9A holds the cover member in the triangular structure.
  • a channel 10 is formed between the base member 2 and cover member 5 (when folded in the triangular structure) into which can be placed the bottom edge of Tablet X so that its rear face Z is supported at an inclined angle by the triangular structure of the cover member with the keyboard 3 of the base member extending in front of its front screen face Y.
  • the cover member 5 and base member 2 may be formed from plastics material.
  • the invention may take a form different to that specifically described above.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un clavier, un élément de recouvrement et un support (I) pour une tablette (X) présentant une face arrière (Z) et une face avant écran (Y). Un élément de base (2) sensiblement plan et rectangulaire supporte un clavier (3) sur une face. Un élément de recouvrement (5) plan et rectangulaire présente une arête (5A) articulée sur l'arête (2A) de l'élément de base, pliable selon une première position sur l'élément de base plat pour recouvrir le clavier, l'élément de recouvrement comportant au moins deux lignes de pliage pour plier cet élément de recouvrement en vue de former une structure triangulaire allongée pour se trouver dans une deuxième position à côté de l'arête de l'élément de base. Lors de l'utilisation, l'élément de base (2), lorsque l'élément de recouvrement se trouve dans la première position, forme une structure recouvrante pour une surface écran de tablette, et l'élément de base, lorsque l'élément de recouvrement (5) se trouve dans la deuxième position, permet un maintien de la tablette sur sa face arrière selon un angle incliné par la structure triangulaire de l'élément de recouvrement, le clavier de l'élément de base s'étendant devant la face avant écran.
