ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a support device, and more particularly to a support device for stationery goods.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A typical stationery goods support device is shown in FIG.
5
and comprises a housing

and for receiving and carrying the stationery goods or the official supply or the office device elements, such as the paper clips, the staplers, the staple removers, the scissors, the knives, rulers, pens, etc. However, the user may not easily obtain the required goods. In addition, the compact discs and the floppy discs have been widely used now. The typical support devices may not be used for supporting the stationery goods.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional stationery goods support devices.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a support device which is rotatable for allowing the user to easily obtain the required goods.
The other objective of the present invention is to provide a support device which is usable for supporting compact discs and/or floppy discs.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a support device for supporting official device elements comprising a base, a casing including a bottom plate having a peripheral portion, the casing including two halves, and two groups of partitions extended upward from the bottom plate and disposed in the two halves of the casing respectively for defining at least two channels in the casing and for receiving the official device elements, and means for rotatably securing the casing to the base.
The securing means includes a spring-biased catch disposed on the base and engaged into the casing for rotatably securing the casing to the base. The casing includes a peripheral wall, the groups of partitions are provided in the peripheral wall for defining the at least two spaces in the casing and between the peripheral wall and the groups of partitions.
The groups of partitions each includes an inner partition and an outer partition, the partitions of a first of the groups of partitions each includes a curved inner end connected to the inner partition of a second of the groups of partitions and each includes an outer end connected to the peripheral wall.
The curved inner ends of the inner partitions of the groups of partitions are coupled together to form a barrel. The peripheral wall includes at least one cut portion for receiving the outer ends of the partitions. The inner partition of the groups of partitions includes a height greater than that of the outer partition. One or more intermediate partitions are further disposed between the inner partition and the outer partition of each group of the partitions.
The peripheral wall includes a height smaller than that of the groups of partitions. One or more panels are further provided and coupled between the partitions for forming a plurality of spaces in the casing.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.
