  • Patent number: 8086278
    Abstract: The invention discloses a holding apparatus, which includes a fixed body, a carrying stand and a signal cable. The fixed body includes a ball joint, extending portion and a cable tunnel. The cable tunnel, disposed within the fixed body, is connected to a first opening of the ball joint. The carrying stand includes a casing, a pivot component and a transmitting interface. The ball joint is pivotally connected to the pivot component through a second opening of the casing. The signal cable, disposed through the cable tunnel of the ball joint, is electrically connected to the transmitting interface within the carrying stand. When the carrying stand rotates relative to the fixed body, a limiting portion of the pivot component is used for stopping the extending portion, so as to limit a rotating angle of the carrying stand.

  • Publication number: 20110094977
    Abstract: A supporting rack for supporting an electronic device includes a main body, a rotating arm, a fastening member and a position portion. The main body includes a connecting portion and a plurality of holding members. The connecting portion is connected with the electronic device, the holding members are disposed on the connecting portion, and each of which includes a first surface and a second surface opposite thereto. A gap is formed between adjacent holding members. The rotating arm, held by the holding members, tightly contacts the first surface. The fastening member connects with the holding members between a first position and a second position. The position portion is disposed on the holding member. When the fastening member is connected with the holding members at the first position, an interference, formed between the fastening members and the second surface, is increased as the fastening member is moved toward the second position.

  • Publication number: 20100019108
    Abstract: The invention provides a holding apparatus. The holding apparatus comprises a loading stand and a positioning pivot pillar. A pivoting part comprising at least one adjusting unit is set on the loading stand. A pivot member comprising a plurality of locking units is set on one end of the positioning pivot pillar. The pivot member is movably pivoted to the pivoting part. When one of the at least one adjusting unit and one of the plurality of locking units are locked due to a rotation occurred between the loading stand and the positioning pivot pillar, the loading stand and the positioning pivot pillar will form a locked state.
