Abstract

An assembled type of display apparatus has a base and a display body. The base has a plurality of positioning posts and a resilient latching member. The display body has an outer casing. The outer casing forms a plurality of first positioning and guiding holes and a plurality of second positioning and guiding holes in a circumferential face and a rear face thereof, respectively. When the circumferential face of the outer casing is connected to the base, each of the positioning posts is retained in the corresponding first positioning and guiding hole, and the resilient latching member latches onto the outer casing. When the rear face of the outer casing is connected to the base, each of the positioning posts is retained in the corresponding second positioning and guiding hole, and the resilient latching member latches onto the outer casing.

Claims (14)

1. An assembled type of display apparatus comprising:

a base having a plurality of positioning posts and a resilient latching member; and

a display body having an outer casing, the outer casing forming a plurality of first positioning and guiding holes in a circumferential face thereof, the outer casing forming a plurality of second positioning and guiding holes in a rear face thereof, and the circumferential face and the rear face being selectively connected to the base; wherein

when the circumferential face of the outer casing is connected to the base, each of the positioning posts is retained in the corresponding first positioning and guiding hole, and the resilient latching member latches onto the outer casing, and when the rear face of the outer casing is connected to the base, each of the positioning posts is retained in the corresponding second positioning and guiding hole, and the resilient latching member latches onto the outer casing.

2. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the positioning posts of the base has a rod portion and a protrusion, the protrusion of each of the positioning posts is connected to a distal end of the rod portion thereof, and the protrusion of each of the positioning posts has a transversal cross-sectional area larger than that of the rod portion thereof.

3. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the first positioning and guiding holes of the outer casing has an inserting portion and a guiding portion, and the transversal cross-sectional area of the inserting portion and the transversal cross-sectional area of the guiding portion of each of the first positioning and guiding holes respectively match the transversal cross-sectional area of the protrusion and the transversal cross-sectional area of the rod portion of the corresponding positioning post.

4. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the outer casing defines a first latching position, the guiding portion of each of the first positioning and guiding holes is closer to the first latching position than the inserting portion thereof is, and when the circumferential face of the outer casing is connected to the base, the resilient latching member of the base latches onto the first latching position.

5. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first latching position of the outer casing is defined at an edge of the circumferential face.

6. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the second positioning and guiding holes of the outer casing has an inserting portion and a guiding portion, and the transversal cross-sectional area of the inserting portion and the transversal cross-sectional area of the guiding portion of each of the second positioning and guiding holes respectively match the transversal cross-sectional area of the protrusion and the transversal cross-sectional area of the rod portion of the corresponding positioning post.

7. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the outer casing defines a second latching position, the guiding portion of each of the second positioning and guiding holes is closer to the second latching position than the inserting portion thereof is, and when the rear face of the outer casing is connected to the base, the resilient latching member of the base latches onto the second latching position.

8. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the outer casing has a recess formed in the rear face thereof, and the second latching position of the outer casing is defined at the recess.

9. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resilient latching member of the base has a resilient arm and a latching portion, and the latching portion is connected to a free end of the resilient arm.

10. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the resilient latching member of the base has a pull portion, and the pull portion is connected to the latching portion.

11. The assembled type of display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the circumferential face of the outer casing is a bottom face of the outer casing.
