Bracing frame to be clipped to cantilever
Abstract
A bracing frame to be clipped to a cantilever comprises a spool
and a fixing rest, wherein the spool consists of a bar-shaped
spindle and a plurality of bar-shaped raised tracks. The raised
tracks surround the periphery surface of the spindle. A gap is
formed between every two adjacent raised tracks. An inward
contracted connection part having narrower width is formed between
every raised track and the spindle for improving the clipping
effect, and a notch is formed respectively on both sides of the
connection part. The bracing frame is connected to a clip and a
cantilever for holding articles. One or more clips can be disposed
side by side or crisscross in any direction. The clips can clip to
the raised track at different heights thereby achieving the optimum
practicability and efficacy.

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a bracing frame to be
clipped to a cantilever, and more particularly to a bracing frame
that allows one or more articles to be located side by side or
crisscross in any direction.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The common bracing frame of the monitor is primarily
classified into a stand type and a cantilever type. In regard to
the stand type, the monitor is assembled to a base and the base is
disposed on the tabletop for use. In regard to the cantilever type,
the monitor is disposed on an angle-adjustable cantilever that
clips fixedly to the edge of the table such that the monitor is
suspended in midair.
[0003] However, only a single monitor is acceptable for the
above-mentioned structure and it does not provide the
extension-ability. The above-mentioned structure is primarily
provided for individual. There are required numerous bracing frames
for a place such as an exhibition that utilizes several monitors
simultaneously. Accordingly, much more space is occupied, and
disorderly and confused result is caused. It will take much more
time for assembly and disassembly. Moreover, the conventional
bracing frame can merely be lay horizontally. The bracing frame can
adjust the angle of elevation and the angle of depression by means
of its pivotal shaft. But, the bracing frame cannot adjust the
height to conform to requirement. Accordingly, the conventional
bracing frame still needs to be improved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] In view of the drawbacks of the conventional structure, the
present invention discloses a bracing frame for use in the
industry.
[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide a
bracing frame having a plurality of bar-shaped raised tracks such
that one or more articles can be located high or low. Therefore,
the expanded and varied usage functions are obtained.
[0006] It is another object of the present invention to surround
the periphery surface of the spindle by the raised tracks such that
an individual user or multi-user can utilize the bracing frame
simultaneously so as to provide the function of
multi-orientation.
[0007] It is still another object of the present invention to
provide a bracing frame that has a simplified structure and that
can be assembled easily, wherein the bracing frame and the
cantilever are mounted separately to facilitate folding the bracing
frame and to avoid occupying too much space.
[0008] The other features and preferred embodiments of the present
invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0009] FIG. 1 is an elevational view showing the outward appearance
of the structure of the present invention.
[0010] FIG. 2 is an elevational decomposed view showing the
structure of the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the preferred embodiment,
which shows that one or more clips are disposed circularly on the
raised track.
[0012] FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the preferred embodiment,
which shows that one or more clips are disposed vertically on the
raised track.
[0013] FIG. 5 is a cross-section view showing that the raised
tracks of the present invention are spaced at irregular intervals
on the spindle.
[0014] FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the preferred embodiment of
the present invention, which shows that a single LCD monitor is
disposed on the bracing frame.
[0015] FIG. 7 is a schematic view of the preferred embodiment of
the present invention, which shows that several LCD monitors are
disposed on the bracing frame.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0016] The detailed structural feature and the preferred embodiment
of the present invention will now be described in detail with
reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the bracing frame of the
present invention comprises a spool 1 and a fixing rest 2, wherein
the spool. 1 consists of a bar-shaped spindle 11 and a plurality of
bar-shaped raised tracks 12, which are integrated into a unity. One
end of the spool 1 is decorated with a cap 3 and the other end
thereof is connected and assembled to the fixing rest 2. The raised
tracks 12 surround the periphery surface of the spindle 11 and
locate apart from one another in equal angle. A gap 13 is formed
between every two adjacent raised tracks 12. Each gap 13 has the
same width. An inward contracted connection part 121 having
narrower width is formed between every raised track 12 and the
spindle 11 for improving the clipping effect, and a notch 122 is
formed respectively on both sides of the connection part 121.
[0018] The bracing frame is connected to a clip 10 and operated in
coordination with a cantilever 20 for holding an article such as a
LCD monitor 30, wherein a pressing device 101 of the clip 10 is
clipped fixedly to the notches 122 on both sides of the connection
part 121 and to the gaps 13 between the raised tracks 12 so as to
prevent the clip 10 from falling off. Accordingly, the article can
be held through the connection between the clip 10 and the
cantilever 20.
[0019] Please refer to the FIG. 3 through FIG. 7 to explicitly
illustrate the implementing method and the preferred embodiment of
the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, one or more clips 10 may
be disposed on any raised track 12 on the periphery of the spool 1
side by side or crisscross in any direction simultaneously since
the clips 10 can clip the raised tracks 12 that surround the
periphery surface of the spool 1. Moreover, a cable-gathering
device 40 may be mounted on the raised track 12 for gathering the
cable of the LCD monitor 30.
[0020] Furthermore, one or more clips 10 may be disposed
simultaneously in vertical direction, as shown in FIG. 4, since the
raised tracks 12 are mounted on the spool 1 in the form of the bar
shape. If only a single clip 10 is disposed on the raised track 12,
the clip 10 may be disposed at different heights on the raised
track 12.
[0021] Besides, as shown in FIG. 5, the raised tracks 12 may be
spaced at irregular intervals on the periphery surface of the spool
1 so as to adapt the present invention to different locations. By
use of the above-mentioned raised tracks 12, the clips 10 may be
located in preferred positions according to the space factor of the
mounting locations. As described in the aforementioned embodiments,
the clips 10 are operated in coordination with the cantilevers 20
or other suspension devices. For example, as shown in FIG. 6 and
FIG. 7, at least a clip 10 is connected to the LCD monitor 30 for
displaying for an individual or multi-user.
[0022] While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been set
forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed
embodiment of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof
may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended
claims are intended to cover all embodiments, which do not depart
from the spirit and scope of the invention.
