Positioning Device with an Angle-Adjustable Function
A positioning device includes a fixing component including an arc slot with a first end, a positioning plate connected to the fixing component in a rotatable manner relative to the fixing component, and a first adjusting component positioned on the positioning plate in a slidable manner inside the arc slot. The first adjusting component includes a first-radius section and a second-radius section. A cross-sectional area of the first-radius section is larger than a cross-sectional area of the second-radius section. The first adjusting component can be positioned in a first location or a second location selectively. When the first adjusting component is positioned in the first location, the first-radius section contacts with the first end. When the first adjusting component is positioned in the second location, the second-radius section contacts with the first end.

Furthermore, the first adjusting component 44 and the second adjusting component 46 of the present invention can be locked onto the positioning plate 42 by the rear side of the positioning plate 42 through the arc slot 40, the components can also be locked onto the positioning plate 42 by the front side of the positioning plate 42 (in another words against a side of the display monitor 32), where an end is installed within the arc slot 40. Please refer to
Furthermore, a fixing mechanism can be inserted between the fixing component 38 of the positioning device 36 for fixing the fixing component 38 and the positioning plate 42 when the first adjusting component 44 within the arc slot 40 is being moved to a location near the first slot point P1 or the second adjusting component 46 within the arc slot 40 is being moved to a location near the second slot point P2, then the first adjusting component 44 or the second adjusting component 46 is being rotated to achieve the objective of slightly adjusting the angle of the display monitor 32. Please refer to
In comparison to the prior art, the display device of the present invention adjusts the depth of locking the cone-shaped screw into the positioning plate to achieve the objective of slightly adjusting the display monitor to maintain the perfect horizontal or vertical angle. Thus the present invention can overcome the assembling tolerance during the process of production that causes the display monitors unable to have a uniform horizontal or vertical angle, which presents a problem of cost due to the increasing demand on the precision molding.
Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
