Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for supporting an object includes a top lying on a bottom. Part of the top is attached to the bottom. The unattached part of the top includes a flexible joint such as one or more scored lines immediately next to the attached part of the top. The unattached part of the top is lifted from lying on the bottom to a selectively variable position having an angle of >0° and <180° with respect to the bottom. The bottom may have a stop on its end closest to the unattached part of the top. The object to be supported is placed on the bottom of the apparatus and leaned against the unattached top in its open position. The object is retained from sliding off the bottom by the stop. Thus, the object is supported. The apparatus may be credit card-sized, include a battery charger and/or a data storage device.
