Abstract

A flat panel display with an angle adjuster includes a pedestal and an arm member. One end of the arm member couples to the rear portion of the pedestal and the other end of the arm member couples to around the center of a back portion of the flat panel display with a joint. The pedestal includes a positioning adjuster disposed thereon to tilt the flat panel display for adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal.

Claims (22)

1. An angle adjuster for a flat panel display, comprising:

a pedestal; and

an arm member, having a first end coupled to a rear portion of the pedestal via a pedestal shaft and a second end coupled to a back portion of a flat panel display via a display shaft;

wherein the pedestal includes a positioning adjuster coupled to a bottom portion of the flat panel display to tilt the flat panel display thus adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal;

wherein the positioning adjuster includes a stepless adjuster having an automatic transmission mechanism to move an adjusting portion that is coupled to the bottom of the flat panel display, forward or backward by using an electric motor, and stops at any arbitrary position within its range, thereby adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal.

2. An angle adjuster for a flat panel display, comprising:

a pedestal; and

an arm member having a first end coupled to a rear portion of the pedestal via a pedestal shaft and a second end coupled to a back portion of a flat panel display via a ball joint in a rotatable way;

wherein the pedestal includes a positioning adjuster coupled to a bottom portion of the flat panel display to tilt the flat panel display thus adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal;

wherein the positioning adjuster includes a stepless adjuster having a manual transmission mechanism to move an adjusting portion that is coupled to the bottom of the flat panel display, forward or backward by manually operating the transmission mechanism, and stops at any arbitrary position within its range, thereby adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal.

3. An angle adjuster for a flat panel display, comprising:

a pedestal; and

an arm member having a first end coupled to a rear portion of the pedestal via a pedestal shaft and a second end coupled to a back portion of a flat panel display via a ball joint in a rotatable way;

wherein the pedestal includes a positioning adjuster coupled to a bottom portion of the flat panel display to tilt the flat panel display thus adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal;

wherein the positioning adjuster includes a stepless adjuster having an automatic transmission mechanism to move an adjusting portion that is coupled to the bottom of the flat panel display, forward or backward by using an electric motor, and stops at any arbitrary position within its range, thereby adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal.

4. An angle adjuster for a flat panel display, comprising:

a pedestal; and

an arm member having a first end coupled to a rear portion of the pedestal via a pedestal shaft and a second end coupled to a back portion of a flat panel display via a ball joint in a rotatable way;

wherein the pedestal includes a positioning adjuster coupled to a bottom portion of the flat panel display to tilt the flat panel display thus adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal;

wherein the positioning adjuster includes a stepless adjuster with an adjusting portion that is coupled to the bottom of the flat panel display, forward or backward, and stops at any arbitrary position within its range, thereby adjusting the angle between the flat panel display and the pedestal;

wherein the stepless adjuster includes a rotating shaft protruding from the adjusting portion and coupling to the bottom portion of the flat panel display so that the flat panel display rotates along the axis between the ball joint and the rotating shaft.

5. The angle adjuster for a flat panel display of claim 4 , wherein the rotating shaft is driven by a motor.
