Patent number: 8763964Abstract: A support bracket includes a sliding assembly including a mounting board, two guiding elements, a fixing board, a sliding rod and an elastic member. The guiding elements are oppositely fixed to the mounting board, the sliding rod includes two sliding blocks. An arched guiding groove is defined in the longitudinal length of each guiding element, in which one of the sliding blocks is slidably located. The sliding rod and the guiding elements tilt the mounting board at different angles relative to the fixing board when the sliding rod slides relative to the mounting board along the guiding grooves. The elastic member provides an elastic force opposite to a gravity of the mounting board and the guiding elements to position the mounting board at the different angles.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chin-Ming Chang, Ching-Jou Chen
