ANGLE ADJUSTING DEVICE FOR DISPLAY
An angle adjusting device for a display is provided. The angle adjusting device is mounted on a rear surface of a display to suspend the display onto a main support bracket, and achieve an effect of securing. By using the angle adjusting device for a display, the display is secured at an optimal viewing angle for a user under normal watching conditions in mounting, for example, at a tilt of 5 or 10 degrees. Thus, the adjusting device achieves angle adjustment as required, and effectively secure the displays at a required angle.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an angle adjusting device for a display, which is mounted on a rear surface of a display to suspend the display onto a main support bracket, and more particularly to an angle adjusting device for a display which adjusts an angle according to a viewing angle, and effectively secures the display.
2. Related Art
Currently, the display has formally transitioned from the conventional CRT type to a digital type, and plasma and liquid crystal displays are dominant in the current market, especially the liquid crystal displays are more accepted. In addition to the advantages of more abundant colors and low radiation, the panel used in the display is thinned, which completely meets the requirements for thinner products. For the applications of the display, for example, the liquid crystal display connected to a computer host, the liquid crystal television, and the plasma television are all products having quite high homogeneity, and can be substantially divided into desktop, wall mounted, and suspended displays depending on the mounting methods and positions in actual use. For example, the desktop display is provided with a support seat on the rear surface, so that the display can be firmly placed on a plane by the support seat; however, the wall mounted or suspended display needs a main support bracket, so as to secure the display to the main support bracket through suspension. Furthermore, according to requirements in actual use, the main support bracket can be secured to a wall (wall mounted), or be further provided with a connecting rod, so as to be disposed on a ceiling (suspended), or a side surface of a cantilever (suspended). At present, the methods for mounting the wall mounted or suspended display screen may use two types of suspension devices, one is a suspension device with a fixed angle, and the other is a suspension device with an adjustable angle. The suspension device with a fixed angle is frequently used in suspension to a wall, that is, the angle of the suspension device is fixed, for example, parallel to the wall (that is, 0 degrees), or at 5 degrees to the wall. Therefore, the suspension of the display must consider the angle of the suspension device. The other type is the suspension device with an adjustable angle, which is often formed as a whole set of angle adjusting seat conventionally, so it has a large volume, high weight complicated structure, relatively high production cost, and is inconvenient to assemble and use for common consumers due to the complicated structure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAccordingly, the present invention is directed to an angle adjusting device for a display, which has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is cost effective.
To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a support bracket, which is mounted on a rear surface of a display, and has more than one hook formed on a body thereof so as to meet requirements for mounting at a specific angle. A first connecting rod and a second connecting rod are further formed on the body of the support bracket so to meet requirements for adjustable mounting angles by adjusting positions of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below for illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:
As described above, the present invention achieves the staged or stageless angle adjustment of the display according to actual mounting requirements through connecting rod interlocking. To sum up, the present invention can achieve the purposes of providing an angle adjusting device for a display that has a simple structure, is easy to operate and is cost effective according to the embodiments of the present invention,
However, it is understood that the descriptions above are only the preferable embodiments of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall fall into the claims of the present invention.
