  • Publication number: 20150114269
    Abstract: A tilting board for a human being operated includes an operation plate, a base plate rotationally connected to the operation plate, a sliding rail fixed on the base plate, and an adjustment member. The sliding rail is fixed on the base plate and defines a plurality of pairs of opposite slots. One end of the adjustment member abuts against the operation plate and the other end of the adjustment member is positioned between one of the pairs of opposite slots. The degree of incline of the tilting board can be changed by moving the adjustment member from the pair of opposite slots to another one of the pairs of opposite slots.

  • Publication number: 20140175248
    Abstract: A support device for adjusting the orientation of a robotic arm or other movable object includes a base, and a support plate defining two threaded holes. A connecting member has a first end connected to the support plate, and a second end which is connected to the base as a universal pivot. Two screws each include a threaded shank, and the two screws provide adjustable respective distances between the support plate and the base by engagement of the threaded shanks and the threaded holes. An elastic member applies a pulling force to the support plate, maintaining the contact between the abutting ends of the threaded shanks and the base.

  • Publication number: 20140165860
    Abstract: A level compensation device for compensating an angle formed between a lifting mechanism and a pressing device which is horizontally placed on a product is provided. The level compensation device includes a base to be horizontally placed on the pressing device, and a rotatable plate rotatably connected to the base. The rotatable plate is driven by an external force to rotate relative to the base until an angle formed between the rotatable plate and the base is equal to the angle formed between the lifting mechanism and the pressing device.

  • Patent number: 8081431
    Abstract: A height-adjustable stand includes a base defining a receiving space and a sidewall. A height extender is slidably received in the receiving space and includes a front wall and an upper connecting end. The front wall defines a number of slots arranged along a sliding direction of the height extender. The upper connecting end is configured for connecting with a flat panel display device. A positioning member includes a threaded rod and a flange extending outward from the threaded rod. The threaded rod slidably extends through the sidewall of the base and includes a distal end. The distal end is able to be received in one of the slots to set the height extender in a desired position. The flange is external to the receiving space of the base. A locking member includes a nut and two guide rods protruding from the nut.

  • Patent number: 7948741
    Abstract: A portable computer includes a main body having a top surface, a keyboard, a touchpad, an ejector assembly, and a latching assembly. A receiving recess and a receiving hole are defined in the top surface. The receiving hole is positioned between the receiving recess and the keyboard and communicates with the receiving recess to form a connecting portion. The touchpad is detachably received in the receiving recess and includes a touchpad body and an engaging member with an engaging portion protruding from the touchpad body adjacent to the keyboard. The ejector assembly includes at least one elastic member. One end of the elastic member is fixed to a side of the receiving recess, and the other end abuts the touchpad body. The latching assembly includes a first restricting member connected to the connecting portion and a second restricting member fixed to the receiving hole and exposed from the receiving hole.
