  Anti slip device for monitorUSPTO Application #: 20060049320Title: Anti slip device for monitor Abstract: An anti-slip device for the supporting stand of a monitor, which is capable of preventing the bottom rod of the supporting stand from slipping. The anti-slip device includes: a semi section anti-slip sleeve; at least one insert member which protrudes from the anti-slip sleeve; a rotatable body cover which is integrally formed with and extends from one end of the anti-slip device; and a snap fastener which is connected to the free end of the body cover. An insertion slot is correspondingly formed on the anti-slip sleeve. To utilize the monitor, the anti-slip device is clamped onto the bottom rod of the supporting stand. The insert member is further inserted into the reserved hole in the bottom rod. The body cover is then closed around the top of the bottom rod. It is because of the insert connection to the insert member and the clamp by the body cover and the anti-slip sleeve, that the anti-slip device is securely attached to the supporting stand.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates in general to an anti-slip device, and more particularly, to an anti-slip device for the supporting stand of a monitor, which is capable of preventing the bottom rod of the supporting stand from slipping. [0002] Ordinarily, in order to erect an object on a planar surface such as a table, a supporting stand must be pivotally connected to the rear of the object. This supporting stand is rotated out in order to create a specific distance between the supporting stand and the object. The object is capable of being erected on a planar surface, such as a table, because the supporting stand acts as a prop for the object when such a specific distance is created. But, because the supporting stand is constructed from tubular rod material for the most part, the support stand is very likely to slip on a flat, planar surface. Such a slip on the part of the support stands could cause the object to fall and become damaged. Consequently, to remedy this danger, an anti-slip sleeve 10a is installed over the bottom rod 5a of the supporting stand 20a, as illustrated in FIG. 1A. This anti-slip sleeve 10a is in the shape of a semi circle arc and is directly installed over the bottom rod 5a. Another conventional anti-slip device is illustrated in FIG. 1B. The anti-slip sleeve 10b has a tubular design and is directly sleeved over the bottom rod 5a. After installation of either anti-slip sleeve 10a or 10b, the supporting stand 20a is prevented from slipping because it makes contact with the flat, planar surface via the anti-slip sleeve. [0003] However, because the aforementioned anti-slip sleeves, 10a and 10b, are only sleeved over the bottom rod 5a of the supporting stand 20, these anti-slip sleeves are not fixed over the bottom rod 5a and can be laterally dislocated. Such a lateral dislocation creates an unstable condition which is based on a shift in the object's center of gravity. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention provides an anti-slip device which is securely inserted over the bottom rod of the supporting stand. The anti-slip device locks the anti-slip sleeve onto the supporting stand and, thereby, prevents the anti-slip sleeve from moving laterally while installed on the supporting stand. [0005] The anti-slip device provided by the present invention includes: a semi section anti-slip sleeve; at least one insert member which protrudes from the anti-slip sleeve; a rotatable body cover which is integrally formed with and extends from one end of the anti-slip device; and a snap fastener which is connected to the free end of the body cover. An insertion slot is correspondingly formed on the anti-slip sleeve. To utilize the monitor, a consumer clamps the anti-slip device onto the bottom rod of the supporting stand, inserts the insert member into the reserved hole in the bottom rod, and then closes the body cover around the top of the bottom rod, clipping the snap fastener into the insert slot of the anti-slip sleeve. This procedure encloses the bottom rod between the anti-slip sleeve and the body cover. It is because of the insert connection to the insert member and the clamp by the body cover and the anti-slip sleeve, that the anti-slip device is securely attached to the supporting stand. [0006] The present invention provides the anti-slip device with one or more insert members which protrude from the anti-slip sleeve. The insert member is formed with a bulge column that is topped with a circular cone head. The bulge column is inserted into a hole in the bottom rod in order to secure the anti-slip sleeve over the bottom rod. The snap fastener is formed by one or more snap hooks. This snap hook is inserted into the slot of the anti-slip sleeve. [0007] These and other objectives of the present invention will become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following description of preferred embodiments. [0008] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary, and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
