Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates generally to a supporting base
for display, and more particularly to a supporting base that can
hold a display and allow the same to be swiveled.
[0003] 2. The Prior Arts
[0004] Under the drive of computer technology, display is made
thinner and thinner day by day and realized, for example, in the
form of the flat-type LCD or plasma display. This does not seem
satisfactory by now, and it becomes bigger and bigger in size.
[0005] In the old days, a user might adjust the azimuth of a
display very easily by moving it directly with his hands because it
was small and light. Therefore, a supporting base for holding and
swiveling the display did not seem important to make use of it.
But, the situation is changed when it comes a bigger and heavier
display.
[0006] A supporting base for display disclosed in Taiwan Patent
Publication No. 12920 comprises a stand with a base for holding and
swiveling a display in multiple angles, and two extending arms
pivotally arranged on the base of the stand for facilitating the
movement of the display. Unfortunately, the structure of this
supporting base is somewhat too complicated for assembling and weak
for competition.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
supporting base for display, which is comprised of a base provided
with a coupling platform having a coupling hole and a slide slot,
and a rotation member having a coupling part and two slide blocks,
in which the coupling part is coupled with the coupling hole of the
coupling platform, and the slide blocks are slidable in the slide
slot such that the rotation member can rotate with respect to the
coupling platform.
[0008] In short, the merits of the present invention may be
summarized as the following: (1) The structure is simple, and mass
production is possible. (2) Assembling is easy and labor required
is cut down. (3) Thus, costs are reduced.
[0009] For more detailed information regarding advantages or
features of the present invention, at least one example of
preferred embodiment will be described below with reference to the
annexed drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0010] The related drawings in connection with the detailed
description of the present invention to be made later are described
briefly as follows, in which:
[0011] FIG. 1 is an exploded view showing a supporting base for
display of the present invention;
[0012] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the present invention;
and
[0013] FIGS. 3 and 4 are top views showing the state under use of
the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0014] With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1,
a supporting base for display in accordance with the present
invention comprises a base 1 and a rotation member 2, in which a
coupling platform 11 on the base 1 is preferably formed with the
base 1 integrally. A coupling hole 112 is formed in the coupling
platform 11, and a coupling part 21 for connecting with the
coupling hole 112 of the coupling platform 11 is provided to the
rotation member 2. In a preferred embodiment of the present
invention, the coupling part 21 is connected with the coupling hole
112 by means of a fixing member, a bolt S1 and a nut S2 to be
coupled together for instance, to become a spindle and allow the
rotation member 2 to rotate with respect to the coupling platform
11 surrounding the spindle.
[0015] There is further provided to the coupling platform 11 with
at least an arcuate slide slot 111 taking the spindle formed by the
coupling part 21 and the coupling hole 112 as the center. However,
for facilitating stable rotation and symmetrical balance in this
case, there are two slide slots 111 distributed oppositely and
correspondingly on two sides of the coupling holes 112,
respectively. Also, at least a slide block 22 is situated on the
rotation member 2 and slidable in the slide slots 111, such that
the rotation member 2 can rotate relatively to the coupling
platform 11. In other words, the slide block 22 is formed
corresponding to the slide slots 111 in positions and in amount
with a smaller volume. For the reason resembling the
above-mentioned, there are two slide blocks 22 provided to the
present invention.
[0016] In order to decrease cost in mass production, the material
of the base 1 and/or the rotation member 2 is preferably
plastics.
[0017] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an assembled supporting
base for display of the present invention. A user is supposed to
check a display (reference number M in FIGS. 2 and 4) at two screw
holes H of the rotation member 2 so that he may rotate the display
to a proper visual angle shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 as he
wishes.
[0018] In the above described, at least one preferred embodiment
has been described in detail with reference to the drawings
annexed, and it is apparent that numerous changes or modifications
may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope
thereof, as set forth in the claims below.
