Abstract

A support mechanism includes a bracket, two sliding members, a first arm, a second arm, and an elastic member. The sliding members are slidably connected to the bracket. Each sliding member includes a resisting portion. An end of the first arm is pivotally connected to the bracket. An end of the second arm is pivotally connected to the first arm and the bracket. The elastic member is positioned between the first, second arms and the bracket. An elastic force of the elastic member acts on the first arm and the second arm to make the resisting portions of the sliding members resist the first arm and the second arm.
