Abstract

A stand, rotatable through approximately 180 degrees, supports a display device in such a way that whilst the height of the display device above a supporting surface is variable, a full range of viewing angles is also available at any height.

Claims (29)

1. A display device comprising:

a monitor;

a stand comprising a first pole pivotably secured to the monitor and a second pole connected to the first pole;

a support secured to the second pole for supporting the monitor and comprising a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion, the first supporting portion comprises a pivot pole, the second supporting portion defines a pivot hole, the second pole defines a through hole, and the pivot pole is engaged in the through hole and the pivot hole; and

an anti-slip ring surrounding the first supporting portion and another anti-slip ring surrounding the second supporting portion;

wherein the stand is rotatable between a first position, in which the second pole is positioned on a supporting surface; and a second position, in which the first pole abuts a back of the monitor, and the second pole and a bottom of the monitor are positioned on the supporting surface.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein an acute angle is defined between the first pole and the second pole.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the support is substantially perpendicular to at least one of the first pole and the second pole.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the support is rotatable relative to the stand.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the monitor defines a through opening, a mounting member comprises two mounting pieces secured to an inner surface of the monitor and a rotating piece rotatably secured between the two mounting pieces, the rotating piece is located outside of the monitor through the through opening, and the first pole is secured to the rotating piece.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein a concave portion is defined in the monitor on outer surface, the first pole is located in the concave portion, and the through opening is defined in the concave portion.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a first anti-slip pad is attached to the bottom of the monitor, and a second anti-slip pad is attached to a bottom of the second pole.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the monitor comprises a screen, the first pole is substantially perpendicular to the screen when the stand is in the first position, and the second pole is substantially parallel to the screen when the stand is in the second position.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the support is circular, and the cross-section is substantially perpendicular to a central axis of the support.

10. A display device comprising:

a monitor comprising a screen;

a stand comprising a first pole and a second pole, and the first pole pivotably secured to the monitor; and

a support rotatably mounted to the second pole for supporting the monitor;

wherein a cross-section of the support is circular, and the cross-section is substantially perpendicular to a central axis of the support;

wherein the stand is rotatable between a first position, in which the second pole is substantially perpendicular to the screen and configured to be located on a supporting surface, and a second position, in which the first pole is substantially parallel to the screen, and the second pole and a bottom of the monitor are configured to be located on the supporting surface.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein an acute angle is defined between the first pole and the second pole.

12. The display device of claim 10 , wherein a support is secured to the second pole for supporting the monitor.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the support is substantially perpendicular to at least one of the first pole and the second pole.

14. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the support is rotatable relative to the stand.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the support comprises a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion, the first supporting portion comprises a pivot pole, the second supporting portion defines a pivot hole, the second pole defines a through hole, and the pivot pole is engaged in the through hole and the pivot hole.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein an anti-slip ring surrounds on the first supporting portion, and another anti-slip ring surrounds on the second supporting portion.

17. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the monitor defines a through opening, a mounting member comprises two mounting pieces secured to an inner surface of the monitor and a rotating piece rotatably secured between the two mounting pieces, the rotating piece is located outside of the monitor through the through opening, and the first pole is secured to the rotating piece.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein a concave portion is defined in the monitor on outer surface, the first pole is located in the concave portion, and the through opening is defined in the concave portion.

19. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the second pole is connected to the first pole.
