Abstract

A lifting device of a display, is provided. The lifting device includes a stationary member, a lifting member, and an elastic module. The stationary member is suitable for being fixed to a vertical plane. The lifting member is slidably connected to the stationary member. The lifting member is suitable for being fixed to a back portion of the display. The lifting member is suitable for sliding relative to the stationary member between a first position and a second position lower than the first position. The elastic module is coupled between the stationary member and the lifting member. The elastic module is suitable for exerting a pulling force opposite to a gravity direction on the lifting member.

Claims (51)

1 . A lifting device of a display, the lifting device comprising:

at least one elastic member, disposed between the base and the friction member;

wherein the lifting member slides relative to the stationary member in a vertical direction when the display or the lifting member is subjected to a manual force toward the vertical direction, and the first springs are stretched by the lifting member and exert a first elastic force on the lifting member, wherein the first elastic force is approximate to a weight of the lifting member and a weight of the display;

wherein the lifting member and the display are held at a height position after the display or the lifting member is no longer subjected to the manual force.

2 . The lifting device according to claim 1 , wherein the first springs comprise a plurality of constant force springs, and the lifting member is suitable to have the display mounted on a mounting structure of the lifting member.

3 . The lifting device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one sliding rail, fixed to the lifting member, wherein the at least one sliding rail extends vertically; and
