DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.


Please refer to FIGS. 1-5, a display board 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is for assembling of at least one socket 10 thereto. The display board 1 includes a main body 20 and a cover member 30.


The main body 20 defines a first direction 21 and a second direction 22 which are perpendicular to each other. The main body 20 is formed with a slot 23 recessed along the first direction 21 and includes a hang portion 24. In the present embodiment, the slot 23 is penetrated through along the first direction 21. However, the slot 23 can be unpenetrated along the first direction 21 in other embodiments. Along the second direction 22 the slot 23 is open on a side thereof to form an open side 25. Specifically, the slot 23 is substantially C-shaped as viewed in the first direction 21.


The main body 20 further includes at least one assembling portion 26 for the at least one socket 10 to assemble thereto, and the at least one assembling portion 26 is disposed on an inner wall of the slot 23.


Moreover, the assembling portion 26 extends from the inner wall of the slot 23 toward the open side 25 along the second direction 22. The assembling portion 26 includes at least one cut slot 27 open toward the second direction 22 so that the socket 10 can be assembled to the assembling portion 26 from the open side 25. The cut slot 27 provides a space for the assembling portion 26 to deform so that when the socket 10 is assembled to the assembling portion 26, the assembling portion 26 is deformed and tightly abutted against the socket 10.


The cover member 30 is connected with the main body 20 at the open side 25 along the first direction 21 and is transverse to the open side 25. The cover member 30 is for the at least one socket 10 to abut thereagainst. Moreover, the cover member 30 encloses the open side 25, and the cover member 30 and the main body 20 construct an annular profile 31. For example, two opposite ends of the open side 25 are formed with two engaging slots 251 in the first direction 21 respectively, and two opposite ends of the cover member 30 are formed with two ear portions 32 respectively. The two ear portions 32 are engaged respectively with the two engaging slots 251.


Moreover, each engaging slot 251 includes a first positioning portion 252, and each first positioning portion 252 is positionably engaged with a second positioning portion 321 of each ear portion 32. When the two ear portions 32 and the two engaging slots 251 are assembled to each other and are engaged via each second positioning portion 321 and each first positioning portion 252, the cover member 30 is positionably engaged with the main body 20. Furthermore, each ear portion 32 is penetrated with a screw member 33, and each screw member 33 is screwed to and fixed to each engaging slot 251 so that the cover member 30 is fixed to the main body 20. Nevertheless, in other embodiments, each ear portion 32 can also be fixed to each engaging slot 251 via clasps or hooks.


Specifically, the cover member 30 further includes two abutting surfaces 34 which are parallel to the second direction 22. Each ear portion 32 protrudes on each abutting surface 34, and the two abutting surfaces 34 are abutted against the inner wall of the slot 23 respectively so that the cover member 30 is much stably fixed to the main body 20. By means as described above, the cover member 30 and the main body 20 construct the annular profile 31 in strong structures, and the cover member 30 and the main body 20 are hard to be destroyed and separated in a drop test.


In practical use, when the cover member 30 is assembled to the main body 20, the cover member 30 also clamps and fixes the socket 10. Moreover, the cover member 30 includes an abutting portion 35 located on a side of the slot 23, and the abutting portion 35 is for the at least one socket 10 to abut thereagainst. Specifically, the cover member 30 includes at least one rib portion 36 which corresponds to the at least one assembling portion 26 and is traverse to the abutting portion 35. The rib portion 36 is for arranging correspondingly to a center of the socket 10. When the abutting portion 35 and the socket 10 are abutted against each other, the rib portion 36 supports on another side of the abutting portion 35 so that the abutting portion 35 is much stably abutted against the socket 10.


The at least one rib portion 36 and the abutting portion 35 construct at least one recessed portion 37, and the cover member 30 is provided with the at least one recessed portion 37 on a side surface facing in the first direction 21. Preferably, the recessed portion 37 provides good stability and structural strength when the cover member 30 clamps and fixes the socket 10. The main body 20 is formed with at least one protruding portion 38 on a side surface facing in the first direction 21. The protruding portion 38 corresponds to the assembling portion 26. Preferably, a side of the protruding portion 38 is for the socket 10 to abut against and increases an abutting area between the main body 20 and the socket 10 to increase stability of assembling the socket 10. The protruding portion 38 further constructs a square slot 39, and the square slot 39 can be used for a label to assemble therewith and to identify the socket 10. A distal end of the main body 20 is formed with a depression 40, and a wall of the depression 40 supports between two side surfaces of the main body 20 and increases capability of the main body 20 to resist deformation and external force. By a design as described above, the display board 1 has much good capability to resist deformation and avoids from destruction and separation during the drop test.


As a conclusion, the display board of the present invention has the cover member which is assembled to the main body in the first direction and clamps the socket. The cover member and the main body also construct the annular profile with a solid structure. Besides, the ear portion and the engaging slot are engaged with each other to form a strong structure which is hard to be destroyed in the drop test. Moreover, the rib portion increases structural strength and capability to resist destruction and deformation.


While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
