Abstract

A support apparatus for suspending a display includes two suspenders and two repositioning units. Each suspender includes a connection member, a joint member, and two parallel arms extending between and pivoted to the connection member and the joint member. Each repositioning unit is connected between a corresponding arm and a corresponding one of the connection member and the joint member, and includes a variable-length cylinder. One of the repositioning units further includes a linking rod having opposite ends connected pivotally and respectively to a corresponding variable-length cylinder and a corresponding one of the connection member and the joint member of a respective suspender.

Claims (18)

1. A support apparatus for suspending a display, comprising:

two suspenders, each including a connection member, a joint member, and two parallel arms extending between said connection member and said joint member and having opposite ends connected pivotally and respectively to said connection member and said joint member, said joint members of said suspenders being connected to each other, said connection member of one of said suspenders being adapted for installation of the display; and

two repositioning units, each being disposed at a respective one of said suspenders, having a first end connected to a corresponding one of said arms and a second end connected pivotally to a corresponding one of said connection member and said joint member of the respective one of said suspenders, and including a variable-length cylinder;

wherein one of said repositioning units further includes a linking rod having opposite ends connected directly, pivotally and respectively to said variable-length cylinder of said one of said repositioning units and to a corresponding one of said connection member and said joint member of the respective one of said suspenders.

2. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said one of said connection member and said joint member corresponding to said one of said repositioning units that includes said linking rod is provided with a linking part, said linking rod being connected directly and pivotally to said linking part, such that said linking rod is rotatable with respect to said linking part about an axis parallel to pivot axes of said arms with said connection members and said joint members.

3. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein both of said repositioning units include said linking rod.

4. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said variable-length cylinder extends parallel to said arms of the respective one of said suspenders.

5. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein pivot axes of said arms with said connection members and said joint members are parallel with each other.

6. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said linking rod and said variable-length cylinder in a same one of said repositioning units form an included angle ranging between 100 degrees and 180 degrees therebetween.

7. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising two cable organizers respectively disposed on said suspenders, each of said cable organizers including a cable groove formed in a corresponding one of said arms, and a shield removably covering said cable groove.

8. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein each of said cable organizers further includes two flexible coverings respectively disposed at two opposite ends of said shield, each of said coverings having one end mounted to said shield and another end extending to a respective one of said connection members and said joint members.

9. A support apparatus for suspending a display, comprising:

a suspender including a connection member, a joint member, and two parallel arms extending between said connection member and said joint member and having opposite ends connected pivotally and respectively to said connection member and said joint member, said connection member being adapted for installation of the display; and

a repositioning unit having a first end connected to one of said arms and a second end connected pivotally to one of said connection member and said joint member,

said repositioning unit including a variable-length cylinder and a linking rod having opposite ends connected directly, pivotally and respectively to said variable-length cylinder and one of said connection member and said joint member.

10. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said one of said connection member and said joint member that is connected pivotally to said linking rod is provided with a linking part, said linking rod being connected directly and pivotally to said linking part, such that said linking rod is rotatable with respect to said linking part about an axis parallel to pivot axes of said arms with said connection member and said joint member.

11. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said variable-length cylinder extends parallel to said arms.

12. The support apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said linking rod and said variable-length cylinder form an included angle ranging between 100 degrees and 180 degrees therebetween.
