Abstract

An electronic device. The electronic device comprises a body, a first supporting member, a second supporting member, and a third supporting member. The body is abutted the first supporting member. The second supporting member is detachably connected to the first supporting member, forming a first angle. The third supporting member is detachably connected to the second supporting member, forming a second angle. The electronic device is selectively positioned upright on a horizontal plane or hung on a vertical plane. The first and second supporting members are connected to support the body in an upright position on a horizontal plane. When the first, second, and third supporting members are connected to form a hook for hanging on the vertical plane, the first supporting member is engaged with the body such that the body is hung on the vertical surface.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An electronic device, selectively positioned upright on a horizontal plane or hung on a vertical plane, comprising: 
 a body;    a first supporting member, detachably abutted the body;    a second supporting member, detachably connected to the first supporting member, forming a first angle with the first supporting member; and    a third supporting member, detachably connected to the second supporting member, forming a second angle with the second supporting member;    wherein the first and second supporting members are connected to support the body in an upright position on a horizontal plane; and when the first, second, and third supporting members are connected to form a hook for hanging on a vertical plane, the first supporting member is engaged with the body such that the body is hung on the vertical surface.    
   
   
       2 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first supporting member comprises at least one first fixing portion, and the second supporting member comprises at least one second fixing portion to be inserted in the first fixing portion for connecting the first supporting member and the second supporting member.  
   
   
       3 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the first fixing portion of the first supporting member comprises two holes, and the second fixing portion of the second supporting member comprises two end portions to be inserted into the two holes such that the second supporting member is connected to the first supporting member.  
   
   
       4 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein when the third supporting member is connected to the second supporting member, the third supporting member is movable with respect to the second supporting member.  
   
   
       5 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the third supporting member comprise at least one third fixing portion, and the second supporting member comprises at least one second fixing portion; when the body is hung, the second fixing portion passes through the third fixing portion and is disposed on the first supporting member.  
   
   
       6 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the third fixing portion comprises two through holes, and the second fixing portion comprises two end portions to pass through the through holes such that the third supporting member is disposed on the second supporting member.  
   
   
       7 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first supporting member comprises at least two first fixing portions, and the second supporting member comprises at least one second fixing portion to be selectively inserted into one of the first fixing portions.  
   
   
       8 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein when the second supporting member and the first supporting member are connected, the first angle is substantially 90°.  
   
   
       9 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein when the third supporting member is connected to the second supporting member, the second angle is substantially 90°.  
   
   
       10 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a positioning portion, and the positioning portion comprises a groove, and the first supporting member is engaged with the groove of the positioning portion such that the electronic device is hung on a wall.  
   
   
       11 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the first supporting member comprises a plate and a protrusion, the plate connected to the protrusion; wherein when the body is disposed on the horizontal plane, the body leans against the plate and protrusion; when the body is disposed on the vertical plane, the protrusion is engaged with the positioning portion of the body.  
   
   
       12 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the plate and the protrusion form an L-shape.  
   
   
       13 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device comprises a scanner.  
   
   
       14 . A supporting module, selectively supporting an object on a horizontal plane or hang the object on a vertical plane, comprising: 
 a first supporting member, detachably abutted the object;    a second supporting member, detachably connected to the first supporting member; and    a third supporting member, detachably connected to the second supporting member;    wherein the first and second supporting members are connected to support the object to an upright position on a horizontal plane; and when the first, second, and third supporting members are connected to form a hook for hanging on a vertical plane, the first supporting member is engaged with the object such that the object is hung on the vertical surface.    
   
   
       15 . The supporting module as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the first supporting member comprises at least one first fixing portion, and the second supporting member comprises at least one second fixing portion to be inserted in the first fixing portion for connecting the first supporting member and the second supporting member.  
   
   
       16 . The supporting module as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the first fixing portion of the first supporting member comprises two holes, and the second fixing portion of the second supporting member comprises two end portions to be inserted into the holes such that the second supporting member is connected to the first supporting member.  
   
   
       17 . The supporting module as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein when the third supporting member is connected to the second supporting member, the third supporting member is movable with respect to the second supporting member.  
   
   
       18 . The supporting module as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the third supporting member comprise at least one third fixing portion, and the second supporting member comprises at least one second fixing portion; when the object is hung, the second fixing portion passes through the third fixing portion and is disposed on the first supporting member.  
   
   
       19 . The supporting module as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the third fixing portion comprises two through holes, and the second fixing portion comprises two end portions to pass through the through holes such that the third supporting member is disposed on the second supporting member.
