Technical Field

The present invention relates to a bracket, and more particularly, to an adjustable bracket.

Background

With the development of technology, electronic devices are continuously being developed. In some cases, the electronic device may be hung on a bracket and then fixed at a desired position by the bracket, such as a desktop, a wall surface, a ceiling, etc.

With the increase and improvement of functions and efficiency, the weight of the electronic device is inevitably increased, so that the reliability of the bracket for hanging the electronic device must be improved to adapt to the increase of the weight. In addition, some brackets can also provide the function of adjusting the orientation of the electronic device, so that the electronic device can be positioned towards various orientations, and the gravity borne by the brackets can be changed accordingly. If the hanging reliability cannot be improved by adapting to the change of gravity, the electronic device may not be accurately positioned in a certain direction, and even may be damaged by falling off.

Fig. 1A shows a side view of an adjustable support 100 in an initial state, and fig. 1B shows a side view of the adjustable support 100 of fig. 1A in an inclined state, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1A and 1B, the adjustable bracket 100 at least includes a base 110, a carrier 120, a locking member 130, and a first engaging portion 140 and a second engaging portion 150. The base 110 may be fixed to a position where a user wants to place, such as a table top, a wall surface, a ceiling, etc. The carrier 120 may carry an electronic device (not shown), including but not limited to a cell phone, a camera, a video camera, a monitor, a screen, etc. The locking member 130 is coupled to the carrier 120 and the base 110, and can be, for example, but not limited to, a screw, a bolt and nut combination, or other fasteners. The carrier 120 can be disposed on the base 110 by the locking member 130 and can rotate relative to the base 110. For example, the locking member 130 is disposed in the X-axis direction, and the base 110 and the supporting member 120 rotate on the Y-Z plane by the locking member 130 with the X-axis as the rotation axis, so that an included angle θ exists between the supporting member 120 and the base 110. Wherein, the Y axis can be vertical to the X axis, the Z axis can be vertical to the X axis, the Y axis and the Z axis can form a Y-Z plane vertical to the X axis, and the Y axis and the Z axis can also be vertical to each other.

The first engaging portion 140 is disposed on the carrier 120, the second engaging portion 150 is disposed on the base 110, and the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 can engage with each other to mechanically connect the base 110 and the carrier 120. When the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 are engaged with each other, the degree of freedom of the carrier 120 in rotation relative to the base 110 about the X-axis can be restricted. That is, the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 are engaged with each other, so that the carrier 120 can be stably fixed at a specific angle of the included angle θ with respect to the base 110, and the adjustable bracket 100 can reliably support the weight of the electronic device in any state. In addition, the carrier 120 can be changed between a plurality of angles of the included angle θ relative to the base 110, and fixed at a specific angle by the mutual engagement of the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150, so as to adjust the angle.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view and a partially enlarged view of the adjustable bracket 100 in an initial state. Referring to fig. 1A and fig. 2, the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 may respectively include a tooth-arc structure 141 and a locking block 151, but not limited thereto, in an embodiment, the first engaging portion 140 may include the tooth-arc structure 141, and the second engaging portion 150 may include the locking block 151; in another embodiment, the first engaging portion 140 may include a locking block 151, and the second engaging portion 150 may include a tooth-arc structure 141. The tooth-arc structure 141 and the locking block 151 can be engaged with each other to prevent the supporting member 120 from further rotating relative to the base 110 about the X-axis. The tooth arc structure 141 has a plurality of stop surfaces 141f against which the catch block 151 abuts to provide multi-step angular adjustment.

As shown in fig. 2, the locking block 151 abuts against one of the stop surfaces 141f1, so that the supporting member 120 cannot rotate relative to the base 110 about the X-axis. In addition, the locking block 151 can firmly abut against each of the stop surfaces 141f, so that the adjustable bracket 100 can reliably support the weight of the electronic device. It should be understood that the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 may be other structures capable of limiting the degree of freedom of the rotation of the supporting member 120 about the X-axis and/or the mutual engagement, but are not limited to the tooth arc structure 141 and the locking block 151.

Referring to fig. 2 again, the base 110 may include a bottom plate 111 and at least one supporting portion 112. The base 110 may be fixed at a position where a user wants to place by the bottom plate 111. The supporting portion 112 is connected to the bottom plate 111 and is disposed perpendicular to the bottom plate 111. The carrier 120 may include a carrier 121 and at least one adjusting portion 122 connected to the carrier. The carrier 120 can carry the electronic device through the carrier 121. The adjusting part 122 is connected to the carrier 121 and is disposed perpendicular to the carrier 121. The adjusting portion 122 is disposed corresponding to the supporting portion 112, and the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 are disposed on one and the other of the adjusting portion 122 and the supporting portion 112, respectively. In an embodiment, the first engaging portion 140 is disposed on the adjusting portion 122, and the second engaging portion 150 is disposed on the supporting portion 112, but not limited thereto.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the supporting portion 112 includes a first supporting portion 112a and a second supporting portion 112 b. The first support portion 112a and the second support portion 112b are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the bottom plate 111 in the X-axis direction. The first supporting portion 112a and the second supporting portion 112b may be, for example, but not limited to, integrally formed with the bottom plate 111, and bent with respect to the bottom plate 111. Correspondingly, the adjusting portion 122 includes a first adjusting portion 122a and a second adjusting portion 122b, which correspond to the first supporting portion 112a and the second supporting portion 112b, respectively. The first adjusting portion 122a and the second adjusting portion 122b can be, for example, but not limited to, integrally formed with the carrier 121, and bent relative to the carrier 121.

The locking member 130 connects the first adjusting portion 122a and the first supporting portion 112a, and is movable between a locking position (as shown in fig. 2) and a releasing position along the X-axis direction relative to the base 110. As shown in fig. 3A, the locking member 130 is shown in a released position in a perspective view and a close-up view of the adjustable bracket 100 of fig. 2. Fig. 3B shows a front view of the adjustable support 100 of fig. 3A. Referring to fig. 2, 3A and 3B, the locking member 130 remains connected to the carrier 120 and the base 110 during the movement of the locking member 130 between the locking position and the releasing position.

Referring to fig. 2, when the locking member 130 is located at the locking position, the first adjusting portion 122a is abutted against the first supporting portion 112 a. At this time, the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 are engaged with each other, and the carrier 120 is fixed to the base 110 at an included angle θ of about 0 °, and cannot rotate relative to the base 110 about the X-axis direction as a rotation axis, so that the adjustable bracket 100 is fixed in the initial state. In the initial state, the carrier 121 is supported on the bottom plate 111 and substantially parallel to the bottom plate 111, as shown in fig. 1A.

Referring to fig. 3A and 3B, when the locking member 130 is located at the releasing position, the first adjusting portion 122a is no longer abutted against the first supporting portion 112 a. In this way, the carrier 120 can freely move along the first direction D1 of the X-axis, so the first engaging portion 140 can be separated from the second engaging portion 150 along the first direction D1. In this case, the carrier 120 can rotate relative to the base 110 about the X-axis. Here, the base 110 may include a post 113 extending from the second supporting portion 112b along the first direction D1. The second adjusting portion 122b may have a through hole 122b1 for the stud 113 to pass through. Also, the stud 113 is retained in the through hole 122b during movement of the locking member 130 between the locked position and the released position. It should be noted that, since the locking member 130 is also connected to the first adjusting portion 122a of the supporting member 120 and the first supporting portion 112a of the base 110, the supporting member 120 can keep balance between the left and the right during the movement in the first direction D1.

Furthermore, the adjustable bracket 100 may further include an elastic member 160 disposed between the supporting member 120 and the base 110. The elastic member 160 may provide a force to move the carrier 120 in the first direction D1. Therefore, once the locking member 130 is located at the releasing position, the carrier 120 is instantly and stably driven to move in the first direction D1, so that the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 are disengaged from each other.

The elastic member 160 may be disposed between the at least one adjusting portion 122 of the supporting member 120 and the at least one supporting portion 112 of the base 110. For example, in an embodiment, the elastic element 160 may be disposed between the second adjusting portion 122b of the supporting element 120 and the second supporting portion 112b of the base 110, and the elastic element 160 is sleeved on the pillar 113, but not limited thereto. For example, in an embodiment not shown, the elastic element 160 may be disposed between the first adjusting portion 122a of the supporting element 120 and the first supporting portion 112a of the base 110, and the elastic element 160 is sleeved on the locking element 130.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view and a partial enlarged view of the adjustable stand 100 of fig. 2, illustrating the rotation of the carrier 120 relative to the base 110. Fig. 5 is a perspective view and a partial enlarged view of the adjustable support 100 in an inclined state.

Referring to fig. 4, in a state where the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 are disengaged from each other, a user can rotate the carrier 120 by using the X-axis as a rotation axis to change an angle θ of the carrier 120 relative to the base 110. For example, the angle of the included angle θ can be selectively changed between 0 °, 15 °, 30 °, and 45 ° to adjust the orientation of the electronic device. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, after selecting a specific angle of the included angle θ, the user can return the locking member 130 to the locked position along a second direction D2 opposite to the first direction D1. At this time, the latch block 151 of the second engaging portion 150 is instead abutted against the other stop surface 141f2 of the tooth arc structure 141 of the first engaging portion 140. Thus, the first engaging portion 140 and the second engaging portion 150 are engaged with each other, so that the carrier 120 is fixed to the base 110 at the specific angle.

Referring to fig. 6, an assembled exploded view of the adjustable bracket 100 of fig. 2 is shown. In this embodiment, the first adjusting portion 122a of the carrier 120 may have a sliding slot 122a1, and the sliding slot 122a1 has an opening with one end open. After the base 110 is fixed at a position where a user wants to place, first, the locking member 130 is connected to the first supporting portion 112a on the left side of the base 110 and is positioned at a releasing position; on the other hand, the elastic member 160 is sleeved on the pillar 113 at the right side of the base 110. Then, the carrier 120 is disposed on the base 110.

In detail, the user can align the through hole 122b1 of the second adjusting portion 122b on the right side of the carrier 120 with the pillar 113 on the right side of the base 110, and pass the pillar 113 through the through hole 122b 1. Then, the first adjusting portion 122a on the left side of the carrier 120 is buckled into the locking member 130 from top to bottom, so that the locking member 130 is buckled to the sliding slot 122a1 through the opening of the sliding slot 122a 1. After the supporting member 120 is disposed on the base 110, the locking member 130 is positioned at the locking position, thereby completing the initial assembly of the adjustable bracket 100.

In summary, although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various modifications and alterations may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
