Support frame structure for electronic device

Support frame structure for electronic device description/claims

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.

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.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a support frame structure for electronic device, more particularly a support frame structure having multi-axis mechanism that allows the mounting of an electronic device at one end and the adjustment of its screen orientation.

Another object of the invention is to provide a support frame structure for electronic device, which has a dismantable back panel that can shield the back of the electronic device coupled to the support frame structure so as to achieve esthetic effect.

Yet another object of the invention is to provide a support frame structure for electronic device, which provides a tool placement space to make it convenient for the user to store tools needed for the adjustment of the support frame structure.

To achieve the aforesaid objects, the present invention provides a support frame structure for electronic device, comprising a stationary rod body being a columnar rod body with uniform cross section, and having an attaching member at its bottom for fastening it on an object; and a mounting rod body being a rod body and consisting of a mounting member and a sleeving member, the mounting member being disposed at one end of the mounting rod body for mounting the electronic device, the sleeving member being disposed at the other end of the mounting rod body for sleeving the stationary rod body. In addition, there is provided an extending rod body for linking the stationary rod body and the mounting rod body.

There is also provided a stationary rod hollow member, a top cover, and a tool at the apex of the stationary rod body, wherein the stationary rod hollow member is a hollow structure that extends axially inside the apical member through the apex; the top cover is a dish-shaped structure disposed at the apical opening of the stationary rod hollow member and able to open or close. 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. Moreover, the attaching plate is configured with a plurality of predefined holes, which match the standard screw holes on the back of a regular liquid crystal display monitor to fasten the electronic device.
