The present invention relates to a monitor bracket, and more particularly to a wall mounting monitor bracket that firmly and easily adjusts a monitor to different angles by adjusting a movable arm means and a connection means.
The commercial monitor bracket is generally composed of two parts including a base disposed on the table and an angle-adjustable movable arm coupled with the base, wherein a monitor is fixed on one end of the movable arm such that the monitor can be disposed stably and the monitor's angle is adjustable.
However, the drawbacks existing in angle adjustment and integral assembly of the conventional monitor bracket are listed as follows:
1. In the process of coupling a plug of a computer machine with the monitor, the monitor or the movable arm must be detached first since the elevational angle of the monitor is not adjustable, causing the inconvenience to the user.
2. An accidental fall of the bracket including the monitor fixed thereon from the table may be caused easily by shifting the bracket or impacting the bracket incautiously, so it is unsteady and not safe enough.
3. The adjustment of the movable arm is confined to specific angles so the adjustable angle is incomplete, causing the inconvenience to the user.
It is a main object of the present invention to provide a wall mounting monitor bracket for firmly and easily adjusting the monitor to different angles.
In order to achieve the above object, a wall mounting monitor bracket comprises a sliding base means, at least a movable arm means, and at least a connection means. The movable arm means is hung on the sliding base means via one end, and connected to the connection means via the other end. The other end of the connection means is attached to a first monitor. By adjusting the movable arm means and the connection means, the first monitor can be firmly and easily adjusted to different angles.
The sliding base means 1 comprises several fixing bases 11 and several sliding rods 12. The fixing bases 11 are fixed on the wall, and each fixing base 11 comprises several holding parts 111, wherein each holding part 111 has a holding trench 112 on one side. Each aforesaid sliding rod 12 has two ends held in the holding trenches 112, respectively.
The movable arm means 2 is movably hung on the aforesaid sliding rods 12, and the movable arm means 2 comprises a first movable arm 21, a second movable arm 22, a third movable arm 23, several rotating shafts 24, several decorative devices 25, several axial connecting bases 26, several sliding bushings 27, and at least a wedging device 28.
The first movable arm 21 has a first shaft sleeve 211 and a second shaft sleeve 212 on both ends, respectively. The first shaft sleeve 211 and the second shaft sleeve 212 have a through hole 213 and a first circular hole 214 respectively axially penetrating through the center regions. The second movable arm 22 has a third shaft sleeve 221 on one end, wherein the third shaft sleeve 221 has a first square hole 222 axially penetrating through the center region thereof.
The second movable arm 22 further has a fourth shaft sleeve 223 on the other end, wherein the fourth shaft sleeve 223 has a second circular hole 224 axially penetrating through the center region.
The third movable arm 23 has a fifth shaft sleeve 231 on one end, wherein the fifth shaft sleeve 231 has a second square hole 232 axially penetrating through the center region. The third movable arm 23 has a sixth shaft sleeve 233 on the other end, wherein the sixth shaft sleeve 233 has a third circular hole 234 axially penetrating through the center region.
The rotating shaft 24 has a respective locking hole 241 on each end. The rotating shaft 24 has a polygonal coupling part 242 between these two locking holes 241 corresponding to the first square hole 222 and the second square hole 232.
Each aforesaid axial connecting base 26 has a seventh shaft sleeve 261 on one side, wherein the seventh shaft sleeve 261 has a third square hole 262 axially penetrating through the center region corresponding to the polygonal coupling part 242. Each axial connecting base 26 has a slot 263 for fixedly connecting with sliding bushing 27.
The wedging device 28 has an axial penetrating through hole 281 and a circularly laterally extending wedging part 282. The wedging part 282 has a positioning pin 283 protruding from one surface. The second shaft sleeve 212 is pivotally connected between the third shaft sleeve 221 and the fifth shaft sleeve 231 via the rotating shaft 24. The coupling part 242 of the rotating shaft 24 is inserted through the first circular hole 214 to allow the free rotation of the second shaft sleeve 212, and the coupling part 242 is inserted correspondingly through the first square hole 222 and the second square hole 232 to immovably position the first square hole 222 and the second square hole 232, whereby the locking holes 241 on both ends of the rotating shaft 24 are screwed between the first square hole 222 and the second square hole 232. The outer sides of the first square hole 222 and the second square hole 232 are covered with the decorative devices 25, respectively.
The aforesaid fourth shaft sleeve 223 is pivotally connected with the sixth shaft sleeve 233 via another rotating shaft 24. In addition, the both ends of the rotating shaft 24 that penetrates through the fourth shaft sleeve 223 and the sixth shaft sleeve 233 are pivotally connected with the axial connecting bases 26, respectively.
The coupling part 242 of one of the two rotating shafts 24 is inserted correspondingly through the third square holes 262 of two axial connecting bases 26 to immovably position the axial connecting bases 26. The slots 263 of these two axial connecting bases 26 are fixedly connected to two sliding bushings 27, respectively.
The axial connecting base 26 on the outer side of the sixth shaft sleeve 233 is further pivotally connected to the wedging device 28. The locking holes 241 on both ends of the rotating shaft 24 are screwed between the third square hole 262 and the through hole 281. The outer sides of the third square hole 262 and the through hole 281 are covered with the decorative devices 25, respectively. The aforesaid axial connecting bases 26 are hung on one side of the aforesaid sliding rods 12 via the slots 263 and the sliding bushings 27, and the wedging device 28 is rotated to posit the wedging part 282 and the positioning pin 283 on the other side of the sliding rods 12 for buckling the axial connecting bases 26 to the sliding rods 12.
The connection means 3 is connected to the front end of the movable arm means 2, and the connection means 3 comprises a rotating shaft base 31, a first pivotal pin 32, a sleeve 33, several second pivotal pins 34, and a monitor fixing frame 35.
The rotating shaft base 31 has two first connecting parts 311 and two second connecting parts 312, and the rotating shaft base 31 further has sliding trenches 313 and center holes 314 penetrating through the second connecting parts 312.
The monitor fixing frame 35 has several first assembling parts 351, a second assembling part 352, several first assembling holes 353 penetrating through the first assembling parts 351, and several second assembling holes 354 penetrating through the surfaces of the second assembling part 352.
The aforesaid first shaft sleeve 211 is pivotally held between these two first connecting parts 311 via the first pivotal pin 32. The both ends of the first pivotal pin 32 are covered with the decorative devices 25, respectively. The sleeve 33 is held between these two second connecting parts 312. The respective sides of these two second connecting parts 312 are located beside the first assembling parts 351. These first assembling holes 353 on the first assembling part 351 are located corresponding to the sliding trenches 313 and the center holes 314. The second pivotal pins 34 are inserted through the sliding trenches 313, the center holes 314, and the sleeve 33, and pivotally connected to the first assembling parts 351. The second assembling part 352 is screwed onto a first monitor 4 (shown in
The operations of the aforesaid means are shown in
By using the aforesaid operations, the angle of the first monitor 4 is highly changeable.
