Abstract

A support mechanism includes a base and a lifting mechanism mounted on the base. The base defines a limiting slot. The lifting mechanism includes a first arm, a second arm, a connecting mechanism including a rod, and an elastic member. The first arm has a first end and a second end and includes a limiting member slidably received in the limiting slot. The second arm has a second end and a first end adjacent to the first end of the first arm and away from the second end of the first arm. The connecting mechanism includes a rod. The elastic member is connected to the first end of the first arm and the first end of the second arm. The first end of the first arm and the rod are pivotally connected to the base, and the first end of the second arm pivotally connects to the rod.
