  • Patent number: 7410143
    Abstract: An adjusting structure is located between a bracing frame and a monitor for height adjustment by using slide-type mechanisms. The adjusting structure comprises a fixing base, a slide base, and a slide means, wherein several trenches are formed on the fixing base for holding the bracing frame. Two insertion trenches are oppositely formed on both sides of the fixing base for holding the slide base. The slide means is coupled with the monitor. When the user holds the both sides of the monitor, he can exactly hook and hold a braking shaft by hands so as to release ratches from a stop device such that the slide means, which is coupled with the monitor, can be inserted into the slide base so as to engage the ratches with the racks. As a result, the adjusting structure can be rapidly, accurately, and finely shifted to a proper height.
