Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a support frame structure for electronic device, more particularly a structure that possesses the characteristics of multi-axis mechanism and is able to expand the functions of the mechanism.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Conventional support frame structure for electronic device is a construction that allows the mounting of flat panel display, PDA, satellite navigation device and other electronic devices, and enables the adjustment of the position or viewing angle of the electronic device by adjusting the orientation of the support frame structure to facilitate operation or viewing by the user. In the case of liquid crystal display LCD monitor, the dawning of digital age, prevalence of Internet, and the advantages of lightweight, thin form, power waving and lack of radiation have turned LCD monitor into the mainstream choice for computer monitor and home television. Generally a stand is needed for the placement of LCD monitor on a desk for support or adjustment of monitor angle.
  • In recent years, LCD monitor stand and LCD are commonly separately fabricated and then assembled. When a stand-included LCD monitor is placed on a desk, it is also easy to adjust the tilting angles of the LCD.
  • The recent trend is that LCD monitors marketed by different makers are increasing in size. More and more large-size and heavier LCD monitors are in mass production. When large-size LCD monitor is assembled to the stand, it puts the stand under greater loading. For example, when the LCD monitor stand is in a smaller forward-tilt angle, the stand structure bears less weight load. Conversely when the stand is adjusted to bigger forward-tilt angle, the entire stand structure is subject to greater weight load. Conventional LCD monitor stands are not designed to adapt to varying loading, therefore not having a structure to respond to different weight loads and unable to provide sturdy support when screen size and tilting angle change.
  • To address the drawbacks of conventional support for electronic devices, the present invention deals with a support frame structure for electronic device.

Furthermore, a hang ring is disposed at the bottom surface of the top cover for hanging the tool.
  • The mounting member of the mounting rod body further comprises: an attaching plate being a plate structure for mounting the electronic device; a knob with its front end pivotally connected to the back surface of the attaching plate and having a plurality of knob flanges circularly arranged around the front end plane of the knob, the knob flanges being formed by extending forwardly from the front end plane of the knob; and a back panel having a first panel body and a second panel body which together form a symmetrical structure, the center of the back panel forming a through knob hole, the front-end plane of back panel having a recess member able to accommodate the attaching plate, the back-end plane of the back panel being disposed with a plurality of guide ribs, a plurality of notches, and plurality of stop ribs, the guide ribs being annular protruding structure at the back-end plane of the back panel encircling the knob hole, and a concave member being formed between the guide ribs to define the notch, the stop ribs being corresponding respectively to a guide rib and extending radially and outwardly from the corresponding guide rib to protrude on the back-end plane of back panel.

The support frame structure for electronic device in this invention comprises a stationary rod body 1 which is mechanically connected to a mounting rod body 2 to constitute a support frame structure for the arrangement of an electronic device. The electronic device is a flat panel display, a PDA, or a satellite navigation device. The position of the electronic device may be adjusted by changing the orientation of the support frame structure to facilitate operation or viewing by the user.
  • Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, FIG. 3 a partial cutaway view of an embodiment of the support frame structure for electronic device according to the invention. In this embodiment, the stationary rod body 1 of the support frame structure is a columnar rod body with uniform cross section and having an attaching member 11 at its bottom for securing it on an object; the mounting rod body 2 is a rod body and consisting of a mounting member 21 and a sleeving member 22, the mounting member 21 being disposed at one end of the mounting rod body 2 for mounting the electronic device, the sleeving member 22 being disposed at the other end of the mounting rod body 2 for mechanically connecting the stationary rod body 1. The sleeving member 22 of the mounting rod body 2 has a perforated hole 221 vertically perforating the mounting rod body 2 in axial direction. The inner diameter of the perforated hole 221 matches the outer diameter of the stationary rod body 1 and levelly disposed with an adjusting bolt 222 on its side wall in such a manner that when the perforated hole 221 sleeves over the stationary rod body 1, the contact forces between the sleeving member 22 of the mounting rod body 2 and the stationary rod body 1 can be adjusted using the adjusting bolt 222.
  • The inner surface of the perforated hole 221 of sleeving member 22 may be disposed with a lining 223. The lining 223 is made of flexible material to prevent friction between the inner surface of the perforated hole 221 of sleeving member 22 and the outer surface of stationary rod body 1 from damaging the surfaces. Moreover, the lining 223 can enhance the frictional forces between the inner surface of the perforated hole 221 of sleeving member 22 and the outer surface of stationary rod body 1 or reduce the gap therebetween, thereby assisting the sleeving member 22 of the mounting rod body 2 to be secured at a vertical height of the stationary rod body 1.
  • In an embodiment of the support frame structure for electronic device according to the invention, the attaching member 11 at the bottom of the stationary rod body 1 includes a L-shaped plate 111, a screwing member 112, a bolt 113, a bolt handle 114 and a follow block 115.
