Abstract

A base for a display device. The base comprises a chassis, a rotational element rotatably disposed on the chassis, and an elevator joined to the rotational element. When the rotational element rotates, the elevator moves between a first position and a second position. The rotational element is a cylinder and comprises at least one inclined groove on the periphery of the cylinder. The elevator comprises at least one protrusion engaging the inclined groove. When the rotational element rotates, the protrusion slides in the inclined groove, whereby the elevator moves between the first position and the second position.

Claims (22)

1. A base for a display device, comprising a chassis comprising a guide bar;

a rotational element rotatably disposed on the chassis, being a cylinder and comprising at least one inclined groove on the periphery of the cylinder; and

an elevator joined to the rotational element and comprising least one protrusion engaging the inclined groove, and a guiding portion slidably joined to the guide bar, thereby the elevator moving on the chassis, wherein when the rotational element rotates, the elevator moves between a first position and a second position, and the protrusion slides in the inclined groove, whereby the elevator moves between the first position and the second position.

2. The base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the elevator comprises a flange on which the protrusion is disposed.

3. The base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the rotational element is joined to the chassis, the guide bar is positioned in the rotational element, and the elevator moves in the rotational element and is accommodated in the rotational element.

4. The base as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a connecting element rotatably connected to the elevator and accommodated in the rotational element, wherein when the elevator moves to the first position, the connecting element has a predetermined angle with respect to the elevator, and when the elevator moves to the second position, the connecting element is accommodated in the rotational element.

5. The base as claimed in claim 4 further comprising an elastic element disposed on the chassis and a link connecting the elastic element and the connecting element, wherein when the elevator moves to the first position, the connecting element has the predetermined angle with respect to the elevator due to the linkage of the elastic element and the connecting element via the link.

6. The base as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the connecting point of the link and the connecting element are separated from the connecting point of the connecting element and the elevator by a distance.

7. The base as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the elastic element is a compressed spring with one end connected to the chassis and the other end connected to the link.

8. The base as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the elastic element is parallel to a rotational axis of the rotational element.

9. The base as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a plurality of supporting elements equidistantly pivoting on the periphery of the chassis.

10. The base as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the supporting elements are rotatable to cover the periphery of the rotational element.

11. A display device, comprising:

a main body; and

a base on which the main body is disposed, the base comprising:

a chassis comprising a guide bar;

a rotational element rotatably disposed on the chassis, being a cylinder and comprising at least one inclined groove on the periphery of the cylinder; and

an elevator joined to the rotational element and comprising least one protrusion engaging the inclined groove, and a guiding portion slidably joined to the guide bar, thereby the elevator moving on the chassis, wherein when the rotational element rotates, the elevator moves between a first position and a second position, and the protrusion slides in the inclined groove, whereby the elevator moves between the first position and the second position.

12. The display device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein when the rotational element is joined to the chassis, the guide bar is positioned in the rotational element, and the elevator moves in the rotational element and is accommodated in the rotational element.

13. The display device as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a connecting element joined to the main body, rotatably connected to the elevator and accommodated in the rotational element, wherein when the elevator moves to the first position, the connecting element has a predetermined angle with respect to the elevator, and when the elevator moves to the second position, the connecting element is accommodated in the rotational element.

14. The display device as claimed in claim 13 further comprising an elastic element disposed on the chassis and a link connecting the elastic element and the connecting element, wherein when the elevator moves to the first position, the connecting element has the predetermined angle with respect to the elevator due to the linkage of the elastic element and the connecting element via the link.

15. The display device as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the connecting point of the link and the connecting element are separated from the connecting point of the connecting element and the elevator by a distance.
