Publication number: 20130240701Abstract: An adjustable support means 100 for a bathroom fitting or the like comprises a first member 1 threadably engaged with a second member 4. A third member 5 is also threadably engaged with the second member 4. The first and third members 1, 5 are arranged in a non-rotating relationship, wherein rotation of the second member 4 in a first rotational direction relative to the first and third members 1, 5 causes relative movement between the first and third members 1, 5. The second member 4 is provided with reel means 15 for receiving a flexible member 17 which can be used to rotate the second member 4.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2013Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: MARKON HOLDINGS LIMITEDInventor: Kipley Roydon Marks

Publication number: 20130233991Abstract: An adjusting device for adjusting a height of an object, includes a support base, an adjusting portion movably secured to the support base and adapted for holding the object, a driving portion engaging with the adjusting portion, and a limiting mechanism. The adjusting portion is capable of rotating to drive the adjusting portion to move relative to the support base to adjust the height of the object. The limiting mechanism is adapted to prevent the adjusting portion from rotating when the adjusting portion is driven to move relative to the support base.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2012Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicants: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD., HONG FU JIN PRECISION INDUSTRY (SHENZHEN) CO., LTD.Inventors: WEI LIU, XUE-DONG TANG

Publication number: 20130105651Abstract: A support bracket includes a sliding assembly including a mounting board, two guiding elements, a fixing board, a sliding rod and an elastic member. The guiding elements are oppositely fixed to the mounting board, the sliding rod includes two sliding blocks. An arched guiding groove is defined in the longitudinal length of each guiding element, in which one of the sliding blocks is slidably located. The sliding rod and the guiding elements tilt the mounting board at different angles relative to the fixing board when the sliding rod slides relative to the mounting board along the guiding grooves. The elastic member provides an elastic force opposite to a gravity of the mounting board and the guiding elements to position the mounting board at the different angles.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2012Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: CHIN-MING CHANG, CHING-JOU CHEN
