Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an angle adjusting device for a display, which is disposed on a rear surface of the display to suspend the display on a main support bracket secured to a wall in advance, and more particularly to an angle adjusting device for a display for adjusting a tilt angle of the display.

2. Related Art

Currently, the display has formally transitioned from the conventional CRT type to a digital type, and plasma and liquid crystal displays are dominant in the current market, especially the liquid crystal displays are more accepted. In addition to the advantages of more abundant colors and low radiation, with respect to the appearance structure, the panel used in the display is thinned, which completely meets the requirements for thinner products. For the applications of the display, for example, the liquid crystal display connected to a computer host, the liquid crystal television, and the plasma television are all products having quite high homogeneity, and can be substantially divided into desktop, wall mounted, and suspended displays depending on the mounting methods and positions in actual use. For example, the desktop display is provided with a support seat on the rear surface, so that the display can be firmly placed on a plane by the support seat; however, the wall mounted or suspended display needs a main support bracket, so as to secure the display to the main support bracket through suspension. Furthermore, according to requirements in actual use, the main support bracket can be secured to a wall (wall mounted), or be further provided with a connecting rod, so as to be disposed on a ceiling (suspended), or a side surface of a cantilever (suspended). At present, the methods for mounting the wall mounted or suspended display screen may use two types of suspension devices, one is a suspension device with a fixed angle, and the other is a suspension device with an adjustable angle. The suspension device with a fixed angle is frequently used in suspension to a wall, that is, the angle of the suspension device is fixed, for example, parallel to the wall (that is, 0 degrees), or at 5 degrees to the wall. Therefore, the suspension of the display must consider the angle of the suspension device. The other type is the suspension device with an adjustable angle, which is often formed as a whole set of angle adjusting seat conventionally, so it has a large volume, high weight, complicated structure, relatively high production cost, and is inconvenient to assemble and use for common consumers due to the complicated structure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an angle adjusting device for a display, which has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is cost effective. To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a support bracket, which is mounted on a rear surface of the display, and has more than one hook formed on a body thereof so as to meet requirements for mounting at a specific angle. An angle adjusting bracket is further pivoted to the body of the support bracket so to meet requirements for adjustable mounting angles by adjusting a position of the angle adjusting bracket.
