Description

() CV) TITLE: SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE

(a) Technical Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a support structure, and more particularly

to a support structure for an electronic device.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

Supports may be used in conventional electronic devices such as LCD

screens. For example, Taiwan Patent No. M595738, titled "LCD device and

support therefor", as FIG 1 shows, provides a support coupled pivotally to the

housing of an LCD device, and the support can be accepted in a depression,

thereby effectively reducing the entire package volume, or the support can be

extended out to support the LCD device on the base.

However, the above conventional support structure cannot be adjusted in

use height and use angle, which causes the applicability and practicality to be

greatly reduced; the support is obviously more difficult to be operated and

used and still has the following problems in practical use experiences: it

cannot be adjusted according users'height differences such that their postures

must be coordinated, causing fatigue, pain and discomfort of the users, which

Instead, causes user inconvenience. Therefore, the above conventional

support structure is difficult to adapt to users of all shapes.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To overcome the above disadvantages, the present invention proposes an

electronic device assembly with a support structure, including: a base; an

electronic device, configured at one side of the base; and a support structure,

connected to the electronic device and coupled pivotally to the base, allowing

the electronic device to be moved relatively to the base, the pivot structure

including: a connecting element, connected to the electronic device; a first

support, coupled pivotally to the connecting element; and a second support,

coupled pivotally to the first support and base, and having an accommodation

space.

Preferably, the first support includes a first end and second end, the first

end is coupled pivotally to the connecting element through a first pivot

assembly, and the second end the second support through a second pivot

assembly.

Preferably, the second support includes a third end and fourth end, the

third end is coupled pivotally to the first support, and the fourth end is coupled

pivotally to the base through a third pivot assembly.

Preferably, the connecting element is fixed to the electronic device

through a plurality of locking elements.

Preferably, the base is fixed to a plane with a fixing memberin a way of

gluing, locking, fastening, or clamping.

With the above components, the base can be fixed to any plane, the first

support can be pivoted to accept in the accommodation space of the second

support, thereby adjusting the height of the support structure, and the

connecting element, first support and second support are coupled pivotally to

one another, allowing them to be pivoted to one another, thereby providing the

positioning effect of the electronic device. Therefore, a user can adjust the

use height and use angle of the support structure according to use

requirements.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present

invention;

FIG 2 shows a first action of a support structure;

FIG 3 shows a second action of the support structure;

FIG 4 shows a third action of the support structure; and

FIG 5 shows a fourth action of the support structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIG 1, an electronic device assembly with a support

structure of the present invention includes a base 1, electronic device 2 and

support structure 3.

The base 1 can be fixed on a plane with a fixing member 600 in a manner

of gluing, locking, fastening or clamping, and the plane may be a desktop 5,

but the ways to fix the base 1 are not are not so limited in implementation.

The electronic device 2 may be an LCD screen, a projector, a monitor, an

LCD TV or a tablet computer, but the present invention is not so limited;

where the electronic device 2 is configured at one side of the base 1.

The support structure 3 is connected to the electronic device 2 and

coupled pivotally to the base 1, allowing the electronic device 2 to be moved

relatively to the base 1. The support structure 3 includes: a connecting

element 31, connected to the electronic device 2; a first support 32, coupled

pivotally to the connecting element 31; and a second support 3, coupled

pivotally to the first support 32 and base 1, where the second support 33 has an

accommodation space 34.

The connecting element 31 can be fixed to the electronic device 2 through

a plurality of locking elements 44. The first support 32 includes a first end

321 and second end 322, where the first end 321 can be coupled pivotally to the connection element 31 through a first pivot assembly 41, and the second end 322 can be coupled pivotally to the second support 33 through a second pivot assembly 42. The second support 33 includes a third end 331 and fourth end 332, where the third end 331 is coupled pivotally to the first support

32, and the fourth end 332 is coupled pivotally to the base 1 through a third

pivot assembly 43.

Referring to FIGS. 2, with the above components, the base 1 can be fixed

to any plane such as the desktop 5; the connecting element 31 and first support

32 can be pivoted relatively to each other to a first included angle 0 1 as

shown in the figure; the first support 32 and second support 33 a second

included angle 02 as shown int the figure; and the second support 33 and

base 1 a third included angle 0 3 as shown in the figure. Further referring to

FIG 3, the first support 32 can be pivoted to accept in the accommodation

space 34 of the second support 33, thereby adjusting the height of the support

structure 3. Also further referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the connecting element

31, first support 32 and second support 33 can be pivoted relatively to one

another, allowing the electronic device 2 to be close to a user, and changing

the use angle of the electronic device 2.

Therefore, with the connecting element 31, first support 32 and second

support 33 of the support structure 3 being coupled pivotally to one another, the present invention provides the positioning effect of the electronic device 2.

Whereby, the user can adjust the use height and use angle of the support

structure 3 according to use requirements, and further changes the use height

and use angle of the electronic device 2.

Conclusively, the present invention at least has the following advantages

over the prior arts:

1. the installation is simple, and the cost is low;

2. the operation is simple, convenient and quick; and

3. The support structure can be pivoted to change the use height and use

angle of the electronic device so as to adapt to users of various shapes.
