Abstract

A liquid crystal display and adjustable support thereof. The liquid crystal display includes a display panel, a moving assembly and a locking assembly. The moving assembly is connected to the display panel, and moves the display panel. The locking assembly is moveable between a first position and a second position. When the locking assembly is in the first position, the moving assembly is abutted by the locking assembly so that the display panel cannot be moved by the moving assembly. When the locking assembly is in the second position, the moving assembly is not abutted by the locking assembly so that the display panel can be moved by the moving assembly.

Claims (25)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a display panel;

a moving assembly connecting the display panel to move the display panel; and

a locking assembly movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the moving assembly abuts the locking assembly so that the display panel cannot be moved by the moving assembly when the locking assembly is in the first position, and the moving assembly does not abut the locking assembly so that the display panel can be moved by the moving assembly when the locking assembly is in the second position,

wherein the moving assembly is movable between a third position and a fourth position, the moving assembly abutting the locking assembly when the moving assembly is in the third position and the locking assembly is in the first position, and the moving assembly engaging the locking assembly when the moving assembly is in the fourth position and the locking assembly is in the first position.

2. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the moving assembly comprises:

an adjusting member connecting the display panel; and

a first elastic member connecting the adjusting member to maintain the adjusting member at the third position, wherein the first elastic member abuts the locking assembly when the moving assembly is in the third position and the locking assembly is in the first position, and the first elastic member is compressed when the moving assembly is in the fourth position and the locking assembly is in the first position.

3. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the locking assembly comprises:

an engaging member moving between the first position and the second position, wherein the engaging member abuts the first elastic member when the engaging member is in the first position; and

a second elastic member connecting the engaging member to return the engaging member to the first position.

4. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the engaging member includes a first hook, the adjusting member includes a second hook, and the first hook engages the second hook when the adjusting member is in the fourth position and the engaging member is in the first position.

5. The liquid crystal display as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first hook includes a first tapered surface facing the moving assembly, and the second hook includes a second tapered surface facing the locking assembly.

6. An adjustable support for rising and lowering a device, comprising:

a moving assembly connecting the device to rise and lower the device; and

a locking assembly moving between a first position and a second position, wherein the moving assembly abuts the locking assembly so that the device cannot be moved by the moving assembly when the locking assembly is in the first position, and the moving assembly does not abut the locking assembly so that the device can be moved by the moving assembly when the locking assembly is in the second position,

wherein the moving assembly is movable between a third position and a fourth position, the moving assembly abutting the locking assembly when the moving assembly is in the third position and the locking assembly is in the first position, and the moving assembly engaging the locking assembly when the moving assembly is in the fourth position and the locking assembly is in the first position.

7. The adjustable support as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the moving assembly comprises:

an adjusting member; and

a first elastic member connecting the adjusting member to maintain the adjusting member at the third position, wherein the first elastic member abuts the locking assembly when the moving assembly is in the third position and the locking assembly is in the first position, and the first elastic member is compressed when the moving assembly is in the fourth position and the locking assembly is in the first position.

8. The adjustable support as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the locking assembly comprises:

an engaging member moving between the first position and the second position, wherein the engaging member abuts the first elastic member when the engaging member is in the first position; and

a second elastic member connecting the engaging member to return the engaging member to the first position.

9. The adjustable support as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the engaging member includes a first hook, the adjusting member includes a second hook, and the first hook engages the second hook when the adjusting member is in the fourth position and the engaging member is in the first position.

10. The adjustable support as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first hook includes a first tapered surface facing the moving assembly, and the second hook includes a second tapered surface facing the locking assembly.
