This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18027309 titled 'Camera Device with an Adjustable Stand

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a camera device with an adjustable stand. - The camera device consists of a head assembly and a stand assembly connected by a hinge. - The hinge allows for a 360-degree range of pan and a 45-degree range of tilt of the head assembly. - The stand assembly can be rotated to configure the camera device in different states, including a tabletop state and a wall state. - The tabletop state allows the camera device to rest on a horizontal surface with a low profile. - The wall state provides additional clearance between the head assembly and a vertical surface to which the stand assembly is affixed. - In the wall state, the stand assembly can route and constrain the camera device's cable.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present document describes a camera device with an adjustable stand. The camera device includes a head assembly and a stand assembly pivotally connected together by a stem forming a hinge. The stem provides a 360-degree range of pan and a 45-degree range of tilt of the head assembly relative to the stand assembly. The stand assembly is rotatably movable relative to the head assembly to configure the camera device in different configuration states, including a tabletop state and a wall state. The tabletop state has a low profile for resting on a horizontal surface, and the wall state has a high profile, which provides additional clearance between the head assembly and a vertical surface to which the stand assembly is affixed. In the wall state, a cable of the camera device can be routed through and constrained by the stand assembly.
