Abstract

A fixing structure disposed in an electronic apparatus includes at least a display panel and a front casing. The fixing structure includes a joining component and an engaging component. The joining component is disposed on the front casing, and the engaging component is for movably engaging with the joining component. When the engaging component engages with the joining component, the engaging component presses the display panel such that the display panel is tightly attached to the front casing.

Claims (41)

1. A fixing structure, disposed in an electronic apparatus, the electronic apparatus comprising at least a display panel and a front casing, the fixing structure comprising:

a joining component, disposed on the front casing;

an engaging component, for movably engaging with the joining component;

wherein when the engaging component engages with the joining component, the engaging component presses the display panel such that the display panel is tightly attached to the front casing,

wherein the engaging component comprises:

at least a body part, for movably inserting into the joining component, the body part comprising:

a first raising shaft, made in one tooling with the body part and raised from the surface of the body part; and

at least a second raising shaft, made in one tooling with the body part, raised from the surface of the body part and crossing to the first raising shaft; and

a projection part, connected to the body part to form a L-shape cross-section of the engaging component,

wherein the joining component comprises:

a socket, for disposing the first raising shaft;

at least a sliding slot, formed at a wall of the socket, for the second raising shaft to slide therein; and

at least a positioning opening, formed at a wall of the socket and connecting the sliding slot, for positioning the second raising shaft; and

wherein when the first raising shaft of the engaging component slides into the joining component along the sliding slot and engages with the positioning opening, the projection part presses the display panel such that the display panel is tightly attached to the front casing.

2. The fixing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning opening is a semi-circular opening and the part of the second raising shaft above the body part has a semi-circular cross-section.

3. The fixing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning opening is a triangular opening and the part of the second raising shaft above the body part has a triangular cross-section.

4. The fixing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the joining component is made in one tooling with the front casing.

5. The fixing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the joining component is attached by glue to the front casing.

6. The fixing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging component is made of plastic or tough rubber.

7. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a display panel;

a front casing, for covering the display panel; and

a fixing structure, comprising:

a joining component, disposed on the front casing;

an engaging component, for movably engaging with the joining component;

wherein when the engaging component engages with the joining component, the engaging component presses the display panel such that the display panel is tightly attached to the front casing,

wherein the engaging component comprises:

at least a body part, for movably inserting into the joining component, the body part comprising:

a first raising shaft, made in one tooling with the body part and raised from the surface of the body part; and

at least a second raising shaft, made in one tooling with the body part, raised from the surface of the body part and connected to the first raising shaft; and

a projection part, connected to the body part to form a L-shape cross-section of the engaging component,

wherein the joining component comprises:

a socket, for disposing the first raising shaft;

at least a sliding slot, formed at a wall of the socket, for the second raising shaft to slide therein; and

at least a positioning opening, formed at a wall of the socket and connecting the sliding slot, for positioning the second raising shaft; and

wherein when the first raising shaft of the engaging component slides into the joining component along the sliding slot and engages with the positioning opening, the projection part presses the display panel such that the display panel is tightly attached to the front casing.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the positioning opening is a semi-circular opening and the part of the second raising shaft above the body part has a semi-circular cross-section.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the positioning opening is a triangular opening and the part of the second raising shaft above the body part has a triangular cross-section.

10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the joining component is made in one tooling with the front casing.

11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the joining component is attached by glue to the front casing.

12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 7 , is chosen from the group of a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor, a LCD TV, a plasma TV, a mobile phone, a digital camera and a personal digital assistant (PDA).
