A footpad and a carrying apparatus having the same are provided. The footpad can be applied to an electronic device to serve as a support for the electronic device. The footpad being disposed on a lower surface of the electronic device includes a hollow elastomer and a spiral structure directly formed on the inner surface of the hollow elastomer. The distance between an inner spiral portion of the spiral structure and the lower surface of the electronic device is greater than the distance between an outer spiral portion of the spiral structure and the lower surface of the electronic device. The footpad is able to physically change the shape thereof according to the weight distribution of the electronic device and provides a support force thereto so as to maintain balance and stability of the electronic device.

1. A footpad fixedly installed on a carrying member, comprising: a hollow elastomer, having a carrying end and a supporting end opposite to the carrying end, wherein the carrying end has a contacting surrounding surface for defining a reference plane, an inner surface provided on the supporting end;
1. A footpad fixedly installed on a carrying member, comprising: a hollow elastomer, having a carrying end and a supporting end opposite to the carrying end, wherein the carrying end has a contacting surrounding surface for defining a reference plane, an inner surface provided on the supporting end; anda spiral structure, having an inner spiral portion and an outer spiral portion wherein the inner spiral portion and the outer spiral portion are directly formed on the inner surface of the hollow elastomer, and the outer spiral portion surrounding the inner spiral portion,wherein the spiral structure and the hollow elastomer are formed as one single structure, the distance between the inner spiral portion and the reference plane is greater than the distance between the outer spiral portion and the reference plane; wherein the spiral structure deforms under a compression so that the inner spiral portion abuts upward against a lower surface of the carrying member. 2. The footpad according to claim 1, wherein the height of the spiral structure gradually increases outwardly so that the distance between the inner spiral portion and the reference plane is greater than the distance between the outer spiral portion and the reference plane. 3. The footpad according to claim 1, wherein the hollow elastomer is a bowl-shaped structure, an opening of the bowl-shaped structure formed on the carrying end abutted against the reference plane, an outer bottom portion of the bowl-shaped structure formed on the supporting end. 4. The footpad according to claim 3, wherein the inner spiral portion is formed on an inner bottom portion of the bowl-shaped structure and provides an elastic force to the supporting end. 5. The footpad according to claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of ribs, connected to the outer spiral portion and an inner sidewall of the footpad, respectively. 6. The footpad according to claim 1, wherein the spiral structure is a cylindrical spiral structure or a triangular spiral structure. 7. The footpad according to claim 1, wherein the supporting end of the hollow elastomer has a protrusion. 8. A carrying device of an electronic device, comprising: a carrying member, for placing the electronic device; and a plurality of footpads, fixedly installed on the carrying member, wherein each footpad comprises:a hollow elastomer, having a carrying end and a supporting end opposite to the carrying end, the carrying end being fixedly installed on a lower surface of the carrying member, an inner surface provided on the supporting end; anda spiral structure, having an inner spiral portion and an outer spiral portion wherein the inner portion and the outer portion are directly formed on the inner surface of the hollow elastomer, and the outer spiral portion surrounding the inner spiral portion;wherein the spiral structure and the hollow elastomer are formed as one single structure, the distance between the inner spiral portion and the lower surface of the carrying member is greater than the distance between the outer spiral portion and the lower surface of the carrying member; wherein the spiral structure deforms under a compression so that the inner spiral portion abuts upward against the lower surface of the carrying member. 9. The carrying device according to claim 8, wherein the height of the spiral structure gradually increases outwardly so that the distance between the inner spiral portion and the carrying member is greater than the distance between the outer spiral portion and the carrying member. 10. The carrying device according to claim 8, wherein the hollow elastomer is a bowl-shaped structure, an opening of the bowl-shaped structure formed on the carrying end, an outer bottom portion of the bowl-shaped structure formed on the supporting end. 11. The carrying device according to claim 8, wherein the inner spiral portion is formed on an inner bottom portion of the bowl-shaped structure and provides an elastic force to the supporting end. 12. The carrying device according to claim 8, further comprising: a plurality of ribs, connected to the outer spiral portion and an inner sidewall of the footpad, respectively. 13. The carrying device according to claim 8, wherein the spiral structure is a cylindrical spiral structure or a triangular spiral structure. 14. The carrying device according to claim 8, wherein the supporting end of the hollow elastomer has a protrusion.
