Abstract

A foldable supporting bracket for a portable electronic apparatus includes a supporting arm, a holding element, and two load-bearing bars. The supporting arm has a first pivot shaft at one terminal thereof and the holding element has a second pivot shaft at one terminal thereof. The two load-bearing bars are separated to each other and pivotally arranged between the first pivot shaft and the second pivot shaft to form a hollow containing region. The supporting arm and the holding element are pivotally connected to the two load-bearing bars via the first pivot shaft and the second pivot shat, respectively, so that the supporting arm and the holding element are flipped toward the hollow containing region. Accordingly, the supporting arm and the holding element are folded in the hollow containing region and then levelly arranged to the two load-bearing bars, thus reducing occupied space and increasing carry convenience.
