Desktop support for LCD
A desktop support for LCD mainly consists of a fixture module and an inclined support module. The fixture module is composed of two axles directly molded from the back of LCD and two sleeves on top of the base. The inclined support module consists of a rotary frame on the bottom back of LCD and a set of adjustable fixture at base bottom, against which the frame rod sits by gravity. Through this, the two axles of the fixture module are placed in the sleeves. Thus, LCD sits vertically against one side of the base by gravity and rotation. The frame rod can match the adjustable fixture to adjust the LCD angle. The axle, the frame and the adjustable fixture form a triangle support. After angle adjustment, LCD can still stand up firmly.

The invention is related to a desktop LCD support. Especially, it is a simple support frame with adjustable angle of elevation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For the current desktop LCD support, as in
The invention aimed at the practical need by LCD user to improve the traditional shortcoming. A desktop LCD support has been developed to meet industrial demand.
The main objective for the invention is to provide a desktop LCD support, which uses a simple frame module with easy assembly characteristics. The simple fixture module and simple inclined frame provide angle adjustment and firm positioning. Such a support with a frame and angle adjustment in an integrated structure can facilitate assembly, reduce manufacturing cost and increase product competitiveness.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Please refer to
Thus, in a practical example, the two sleeves 22 on top of the base 4 have the same distance and match with the two axles 21. The adjustable fixture 32 is at the bottom of the base 4 for the frame 31 to match against. This base 4 can be a common thin computer (refer to
Further, at the two axles 21 on the LCD 1 back, there is a cavity that has an edge to match the rotation path in a curved surface 5 for the wedge 222. So when the LCD 1 leans against one side of the base 1, the curved surface 5 contacts against the wedge 222 at the bottom of the sleeve 22. This allows LCD 1 to stand up firmly (refer to
Please refer to
From the above, the invention provides a desktop LCD support, which uses a simple fixture module to achieve simple assembly and disassembly and a simple inclined frame. Thus, it not only provides angle adjustment function and a secure positioning function. Compared with the traditional desktop LCD support, it has support frame and angle adjustment function with simple structure. The entire structure is simple, so it facilitates assembly with great reduction in manufacturing cost and increase in competitiveness.
Claims
1. A desktop LCD support mainly comprises a fixture module and an inclined support module with features as follows:
- the fixture module consists of two axles directly attached to LCD back and two sleeves on a base; the sleeve has a curved opening on its top for the two axles to match and rotate; at bottom, there is a 90-degree wedge;
- the inclined support module consists of a rotary frame on bottom back of the LCD and an adjustable fixture at the bottom of the base; the adjustable fixture has a plural number of curved opening on one side at equal distance in the longitudinal direction for the frame to position; the frame uses LCD weight to fit into the curved opening;
- through this, the two axles of the fixture module match the sleeve on top of the base. So the LCD uses its own weight to rotate against one side of the base and stands up vertically; the frame rod can match the curved opening on the adjustable fixture to adjust the LCD angle; the axle, the frame and the adjustable fixture form a triangle support; after angle adjustment, LCD can still stand up firmly.
2. As described in claim 1 for a desktop LCD support, the base can be a thin computer or an integrated molded plate.
3. As described in claim 1 for a desktop LCD support, the two sleeves on top of the base have the same distance and match with the two axles.
4. As described in claim 1 for a desktop LCD support, there is a cavity that has an edge to match the rotation path in a curved surface for the wedge; so when the LCD leans against one side of the base, the curved surface contacts against the wedge at the bottom of the sleeve to form a mechanism to prevent the axle from jumping up and provide a secure positioning effect.
