Abstract

An adjustable apparatus for adjusting the positions of a display is provided. The display includes a base, a supporting arm and a display unit. Two ends of the supporting arm are pivotably connected to the base and the unit. The adjustable apparatus at least comprises a leading rod disposed within the base and an operation block mounted on the leading rod. One end of the leading rod is connected to the supporting arm. There are an outer thread formed on the surface of the leading rod and an inner thread correspondingly formed within the operation block. When the operation block is operated, the inner thread of the operation block is engaged with the outer thread of the leading rod, and the leading rod can be moved forwards or backwards so as to drive the supporting arm to rotate and adjust the positions of the display unit.

Claims (28)

1. An adjustable apparatus for adjusting the positions of a display apparatus, wherein the display apparatus has a base, a supporting arm and a display, two ends of the supporting arm being pivotally connected to the base and the display respectively, and the adjustable apparatus comprising:

a leading rod, disposed within the base and having an outer thread formed on a surface of the leading rod, and one end of the leading rod being pivotably connected to the supporting arm; and

an operation block, mounted on the leading rod and having an inner thread, and the inner thread being movably engaged to the outer thread of the leading rod;

wherein when the operation block is rotated, the inner thread of the operation block is movably engaged with the outer thread of the leading rod, so as to drive the leading rod to move forwards or backwards, and the supporting arm is rotated and the position of the display is adjusted consequently.

2. The adjustable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the operation block is received in an accommodation space of the base.

3. The adjustable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein part of the operation block is exposed outside the base for the user to rotate the operation block.

4. The adjustable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the operation block mounted on the leading rod is rotated to reach a first position, the supporting arm is substantially parallel to the leading rod.

5. The adjustable apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein when the operation block mounted on the leading rod is rotated to reach the first position, the leading rod is substantially parallel to the display apparatus.

6. The adjustable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the operation block mounted on the leading rod is rotated to reach a second position, the supporting arm reaches a highest position.

7. The adjustable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the operation block mounted on the leading rod is rotated to reach a second position, the supporting arm is perpendicular to the leading rod.

8. The adjustable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the leading rod pivotably connected to the supporting arm via the second connecting portion; the leading rod moved due to the rotation of the operation block simultaneously drives the second connecting portion so as to cause the rotation of the supporting arm.

9. A display apparatus, comprising:

a base;

a display;

a supporting arm pivotally connected to the base and the display respectively; and

an adjustable apparatus for adjusting the positions of the display, comprising:

a leading rod, disposed within the base and having an outer thread formed on a surface of the leading rod, and one end of the leading rod being pivotably connected to the supporting arm; and

an operation block, mounted on the leading rod and having an inner thread, and the inner thread being movably engaged to the outer thread of the leading rod;

wherein when the operation block is rotated, the inner thread of the operation block is movably engaged with the outer thread of the leading rod, so as to drive the leading rod to move forwards or backwards, and the supporting arm is rotated and the position of the display is adjusted consequently.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the base has an accommodation space for receiving the operation block.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein part of the operation block is exposed outside the base for the user to rotate the operation block.

12. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein when the operation block mounted on the leading rod is rotated to reach a first position, the supporting arm is substantially parallel to the leading rod.

13. The display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the display is substantially parallel to the base when the operation block is rotated to reach the first position.

14. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein when the operation block mounted on the leading rod is rotated to reach a second position, the supporting arm reaches a highest position.

15. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein when the operation block mounted on the leading rod is rotated to a second position, the supporting arm is perpendicular to the leading rod.

16. The display apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the display is substantially perpendicular to the base.

17. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein two ends of the supporting arm are pivotably connected to the display and the base via a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, respectively.

18. The display apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein one end of the leading rod pivotably connected to the supporting arm via the second connecting portion; the leading rod moved due to the rotation of the operation block simultaneously drives the second connecting portion so as to cause the rotation of the supporting arm.
