Abstract
This invention relates to improvement of the joint structure of an electronic image frame comprising a panel unit structured with a transparent protective layer and a frame body of which a side is provided with a fixing portion; and an electronic body, connected to the fixing portion of the panel unit, comprises a display corresponding to the transparent protective layer, and at a side of the body more than one wedge corresponding to the fixing portion are provided, while at the other side at least one joint corresponding to the fixing portion is provided. Thus, the panel unit of the frame may be firmly connected to the electronic body and the panel may be easily removed for replacement.
Description
- This invention relates to improvement of the joint structure of an electronic image frame and particular to a virtue that makes a panel unit firmly connects with the electronic body or makes the panel to be taken apart from the electronic body for replacement of the panel with a new one.
- Conventionally, a general electronic image frame, as shown in
FIG. 6 , is anelectronic body 3 of which a side is provided with adisplay 31 and the other side is provided with aholder 32, on which a slot is provided for a memory card to be inserted in and a switch (not shown) is provided, in which apanel 33 is directly extended or stuck in thedisplay 31 around theelectronic body 3, thereby the electronic image frame that provides viewable photos in the memory card being formed. - Although the photos in the memory card may be viewed through the above described electronic image frame, because the
panel 33 of the frame is directly extended or stuck in the circumference ofdisplay 31, thepanel 33 cannot be removed for replacement so that it becomes inflexible. Further, if thepanel 33 is stuck in thedisplay 31 for a long time, thepanel 33 may come off due to hardening of colloid around the panel, and thus the conventional electronic image frame is impractical. - Thus, it is an object of this invention that the panel unit of electronic image frame is firmly connected to the electronic body with a fixture of the panel unit and with a fixture and a joint of the electronic body and the panel is easily removed for replacement.
- In order to achieve the object mentioned above, this invention relates to improvement of the joint structure of the electronic image frame comprising the panel unit structured with a transparent protective layer and a frame body of which a side is provided with a fixing portion; and the electronic body connected to the fixing portion of the panel unit. The electronic body comprises a display corresponding to the transparent protective layer, and at a side of the body more than one wedge corresponding to the fixing portion are provided, while at the other side at least one joint corresponding to the fixing portion is provided.
-
FIG. 1 is a 3D schematic view illustrating the appearance of this invention. -
FIG. 2 is a 3D exploded view of this invention. -
FIG. 3 is another 3D exploded view of this invention. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic view illustrating an assembly status of this invention. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic view illustrating a removal status of this invention. -
FIG. 6 is a schematic view illustrating the appearance of a conventional electronic image frame. -
FIGS. 1, 2 , and 3 are a 3D schematic view illustrating the appearance of this invention, a 3D exploded view of this invention, and another 3D exploded view of this invention, respectively. As shown in the figures, this invention relates to improvement of the joint structure of an electronic image frame, being structured with apanel unit 1 and anelectronic body 2, making the panel unit firmly connects with the electronic body or making the panel to be taken apart from the electronic body for replacement of the panel with a new one. - The
panel unit 1 comprises aframe body 11 and a transparentprotective layer 12 at the center offrame body 11 of which a side is provided with afixing portion 13 around and the other side is provided with apattern section 14. - The
electronic body 2 is connected to thefixing portion 13 of thepanel unit 1, comprising adisplay 21 corresponding to the transparentprotective layer 12, aholder 22 located at a side of theelectronic body 2, aslot 23 for a memory card, and aswitch 24. At a side of the body more than onewedge 25 corresponding to thefixing portion 13 are provided, while at the other side at least onejoint 26 corresponding to thefixing portion 13 is provided. Thejoint 26 is a buckle, magnetic body, or another structure connected to thefixing portion 13. Accordingly, with the above-mentioned structure, improvement of the joint structure of the brand-new electronic image frame is provided. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic view illustrating an assembly status of this invention. As shown in the figure, when the frame according to this invention is assembled, a side of thewedge 25 of theelectronic body 2 is correspondingly located in thefixing portion 13 of thepanel unit 1 at an angle of inclination and then the other side of theelectronic body 2 is downward pushed with a force so that thejoint 26 is correspondingly wedged into thefixing portion 13 of thepanel unit 1, thereby thepanel unit 1 and theelectronic body 2 being assembled together. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic view illustrating a removal status of this invention. As shown in the figure, when a user wants to remove thepanel unit 1 to replace with another one, the user presses thejoint 26 and then draws thejoint 26 wedged into thefixing portion 13 of thepanel unit 1 inward back so as to be taken apart from thefixing portion 13. At this time, the user pulls upward only a side of theelectronic body 2 provided with thejoint 26 to lift a side of thebody 2 at an angle of inclination and then applies an outward tensile force to a side of thebody 2. Thus, thewedge 25 may be taken apart from thefixing portion 13 of thepanel unit 1 so that the user may replace thepanel unit 1 with another one. - To sum up, according to this invention, the panel unit of electronic image frame is firmly connected to the electronic body with a fixture of the panel unit and with a fixture and a joint of the electronic body and the panel is easily removed for replacement, and further this invention is made to be improved and practical to meet the requirements of application for protection under patent law.
- However, in the description mentioned above, only the preferred embodiments according to this invention are provided without limit to this invention and the characteristics of this invention; all those skilled in the art without exception should include the equivalent changes and modifications as falling within the true scope and spirit of the present invention.
