- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a bracket with a horizontal displacement compensation capacity, and in particular to a bracket that is capable of supporting an article and adjusting the position of the supported article with a horizontal displacement compensation effect.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- A bracket is widely used to support many articles. However, with the development of industrial technology and the spread of electronic products, the construction and function of the bracket have become more and more complicated. For example, in order to provide an optimal viewing angle of a LCD display for a user, the bracket not only needs to support the LCD display firmly, but also has to generate a swinging or rotating movement properly, so that the user can adjust the position of the bracket with respect to the LCD display.
- Please refer to
FIG. 1 . A conventional bracket includes a base 1 a and asupport body 2 a. Thesupport body 2 a is pivotally connected on the base 1 a. Thedisplay 3 a is provided at the distal end of thesupport body 2 a. In this way, when the user intends to adjust the relative position of thedisplay 3 a, the user can swing thesupport body 2 a to adjust the height of thedisplay 3 a. - However, since the
support body 2 a of the conventional bracket is pivotally connected on the base 1 a, thedisplay 3 a will inevitably be inclined forwards or backwards when the user intends to adjust the relative height of thedisplay 3 a. Such an inclining movement generates a horizontal displacement between thedisplay 3 a and the user, which will change the distance between the user and thedisplay 3 a directly. As a result, the user has to move the base or his position until the best viewing distance is obtained. - Consequently, because of the above limitation resulting from the technical design of prior art, the inventor strives via real world experience and academic research to develop the present invention, which can effectively improve the limitations described above.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a bracket with a horizontal displacement compensation capacity, whereby the user can adjust the relative height of a supported article with the viewing distance kept constant between the display and the user. Furthermore, the vertical height can be adjusted and the horizontal distance can be kept simultaneously, thereby improving the impression and vantage point in use.
- In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a bracket with a horizontal displacement compensation capacity, which includes a base; a sliding stand sliding on the base; at least one elastic element with both ends thereof being fixed to the base and the sliding stand respectively; a displacement compensation linkage assembly comprising a first rod, a second rod and an abutting piece, one end of the first rod being pivotally connected to the base, one end of the second rod being pivotally connected to the sliding stand, the other end of the first rod being pivotally connected to the other end of the second rod, the abutting piece being pivotally connected to the pivoting portion between the other ends of the first and second rods; and a support body pivotally connected on sliding stand and abutting against the abutting piece of the displacement compensation linkage assembly.
- The present invention has advantageous features as follows. With the relative movement among the sliding stand, the elastic element and the displacement compensation linkage assembly, a horizontal displacement compensation action can be generated when the support body swings. In this way, when the user adjusts the relative height of the display, the distance between the display and the user is kept constant. Furthermore, the vertical height can be adjusted and the horizontal distance can be kept simultaneously, thereby improving the impression and vantage point while in use.
- In order to further understand the characteristics and technical contents of the present invention, a detailed description relating thereto will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the drawings are illustrative only, but not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

FIGS. 2 to 7 . The present invention provides a bracket with a horizontal displacement compensation capacity, which includes abase 1, a slidingstand 2, at least oneelastic element 3, a displacementcompensation linkage assembly 4 and asupport body 5. - Please refer to
FIGS. 2 to 5 . Thebase 1 is a wide and flat plate, whereby the bracket and adisplay 7 supported by the bracket can be firmly mounted on a table or other suitable position without turning over easily. Thebase 1 has tworails 11 and twohooks 12. The tworails 11 are provided in parallel on thebase 1. The twohooks 12 extend upwardly from thebase 1 and are disposed between the tworails 11. - The sliding
stand 2 is able to slide on thebase 1. Both sides of the slidingstand 2 are slidably disposed in the tworails 11 respectively. In this way, thesliding stand 2 can move in a predetermined linear and reciprocating manner on thebase 1 forwardly and backwardly along a path formed by the tworails 11. - Two
elastic elements 3 are provided to correspond to the twohooks 12. Theelastic element 3 is a tension spring that is capable of withstanding a tension force. Both ends of the elastic element are fixedly hooked on thehook 12 of thebase 1 and thesliding stand 2 respectively. In this way, theelastic element 3 can exert a tension force continuously on the slidingstand 2. - The displacement
compensation linkage assembly 4 comprises afirst rod 41, asecond rod 42 and anabutting piece 43. Thefirst rod 41 and thesecond rod 42 are formed into a plate-like structure, thereby increasing its structural strength. One end of thefirst rod 41 is pivotally connected to thebase 1, and one end of thesecond rod 42 is pivotally connected to thesliding stand 2. The other end of thefirst rod 41 is pivotally connected to the other end of thesecond rod 42. Theabutting piece 43 is pivotally provided at the pivoting portion between thefirst rod 41 and thesecond rod 42. Via this arrangement, when thesliding stand 2 slides on thebase 1 due to the action force of theelastic element 3, thefirst rod 41 and thesecond rod 42 will act as a linage. Theabutting piece 43 is abutted by thesupport body 5, thereby exerting or releasing the action force of theelastic element 3. - Incidentally, the above-mentioned first and
second rods - The
support body 5 is pivotally connected on the slidingstand 2 and abuts against the displacementcompensation linkage assembly 4. Thesupport body 5 comprises a swinginglinkage assembly 51 and anarm 52. The swinginglinkage assembly 51 comprises an abut-driving piece 511, afirst dragging piece 512, asecond dragging piece 513 and a rotatingwheel 514. - The abut-driving
piece 514 is a frame-like body. Both ends of the abut-drivingpiece 511 are pivotally connected to thesliding stand 2 and thearm 52. - The
first dragging piece 512 and thesecond dragging piece 513 are formed into a cover plate respectively the same as thefirst rod 41 and thesecond rod 42. In this way, the structural strength can be improved greatly, thereby generating a predetermined linkage movement. Thefirst dragging piece 512 covers on one end surface of the abut-drivingpiece 511 and straddles on both sides of the abut-driving piece. Thefirst dragging piece 512 has a hollowed portion for exposing one end surface of the abut-drivingpiece 511, so that the abuttingpiece 43 can abut against this exposed end surface. Thesecond dragging piece 513 covers on the other end surface of the abut-drivingpiece 511 and straddles on both sides of the abut-driving piece. - The
rotating wheel 514 has ashaft hole 5141 and tworotating holes 5142; so namedrotating holes 5142 because the first andsecond dragging pieces piece 511 and thearm 52 are pivotally connected to theshaft hole 5141 of therotating wheel 514. The tworotating holes 5142 and theshaft hole 5141 are formed adjacent to each other. One ends of thefirst dragging piece 512 and thesecond dragging piece 513 are rotatably provided in therotating holes 5142 of therotating wheel 514. The other ends of thefirst dragging piece 512 and thesecond dragging piece 513 are pivotally connected on the slidingstand 2. - Via the above arrangement, when the
support body 5 is swinging, therotating wheel 514 will rotate accordingly to drag thefirst dragging piece 512 and thesecond dragging piece 513, so that thearm 52 can be kept in a vertical orientation synchronously with respect to thebase 1 during the swinging of the abut-drivingpiece 511. - The
arm 52 is provided with a supportingplate 6. The supportingplate 6 is a wide and thick plate. Adisplay 7 is supported on the supportingplate 6 by connecting elements such as bolts. Thedisplay 7 can be a LCD display or a plasma display. - Please refer to
FIGS. 6 and 7 . Via the above constitution, when the user intends to adjust the height of thedisplay 7, the user can swing thesupport body 5 and utilize the action of theelastic element 3, thereby exerting or releasing the action force of the abuttingpiece 43. As a result, the slidingstand 2 can be driven to slide forwardly or backwardly and thus generates a displacement compensation action in the horizontal direction. In this way, no matter the position that supportbody 5 swings, thedisplay 7 can always be kept at its original horizontal position without changing the viewing distance between thedisplay 7 and the user. Furthermore, while the abut-drivingpiece 511 is swinging, thefirst dragging piece 512 and thesecond dragging piece 513 totally cooperate with therotating wheel 514, so that thedisplay 7 can be synchronously kept in a constant vertical position with respect to thebase 1. - The present invention has advantageous features as follows. Via the relative movement among the sliding
stand 2, theelastic element 3 and the displacementcompensation linkage assembly 4, when thesupport body 5 is swinging, a displacement compensation action in the horizontal direction can be generated. Thus, the user can adjust the relative height of thedisplay 7, so that the viewing distance between thedisplay 7 and the user can be kept constant. Furthermore, the vertical height can be adjusted and the horizontal distance can be kept simultaneously, thereby improving the impression and vantage point in use. - While the present invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the present invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
