Patent Application
20150313032
The subject matter herein generally relates to a display device, and particularly to a display device having a support.
Generally, a display device refers to monitors for devices, such as televisions or computers, that display a picture employing a cathode ray tube (CRT), a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP) or a similar display device. For example, an LCD monitor includes a main body displaying the picture through an LCD panel, a base part supporting the main body, and a stand part provided between the main body and the base part.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising”, when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to a support and a display device using the support.
The base portion 21 can be substantially a trapezoidal plate, and include an upper surface 211, and a lower surface 212 opposite to the upper surface 211. The lower surface 212 can be coupled to a desk (not shown). The base portion 21 further includes three side walls between the upper surface 211 and the lower surface 212, a first side wall 213 can be opposite to the first bent portion 23, a second side wall 214 and a third side wall 215 can be respectively symmetrical, and arranged between the first bent portion 23 and the first side wall 213. In operation, a user can directly face the first side wall 213.
The stand portion 22 can include a supporting arm 221 connected to the first bent portion 23, a fastening portion 222, and a second bent portion 223 between the supporting arm 221 and the fastening portion 222. The supporting arm 221 and the fastening portion 222 can be substantially plates. The fastening portion 222 can include a fastening end 2221 away from the second bent portion 223, and the main body 10 can be connected to the fastening end 2221.
The support 20 further includes a wire passage 24 defined through the base portion 21, the first bent portion 23, and the stand portion 22. The wire passage 24 can be substantially L-shaped in the base portion 21, and can be substantially straight in the supporting arm 221. In operation, the wire passage 24 can be filled with a plurality of wires.
The wire passage 24 can include a first current slot 242 and a second current slot 243 separated from the first current slot 242 by a partition plate 241. The first current slot 242 can be configured to receive some high current wires having strong voltage or current, such as a power line. The second current slot 243 can be configured to receive some low current wires, such as a data cable. The partition plate 241 can separate the high current wires from the low current wires, which can decrease interference of magnetic field formed by the high current wires and the low current wires.
One end of the wire passage 24 can be connected to the second side wall 214 of the base portion 21, and define a first opening 244. The other end of the wire passage 24 can be connected to the fastening end 2221 of the fastening portion 222, and define a second opening 245. The width of the wire passage 24 can increase from the second opening 245 to the first opening 244. The first opening 244 can have a proper size, and can be configured to receive connectors (not shown). The second opening 245 can be engaged to a connection port (not shown) of the main body 10.
The first opening 244 can include a first portion 2441 corresponding to first current slot 243, and a second portion 2442 corresponding to second current slot 243. In at least one embodiment, the first portion 2441 can be configured to receive a power plug (not shown), and can be positioned away from the first side wall 213 and the user, which can avoid an electric shock. The second current slot 243 can be configured to receive the storage devices or USB plug, and the second current slot 243 is adjacent to the first side wall 213 and the user, so it is convenient to plug in or unplug the storage devices or USB plug.
In the illustrated embodiment, the first opening 244 and the second opening 245 can be substantially rectangular. The base portion 21 and the stand portion 22 can be substantially isosceles trapezoidal in shape. In other embodiments, the first opening 244 and the second opening 245 can be substantially triangular, circular, or other shapes. The base portion 21 and the stand portion 22 can be substantially rectangular, circular, fan-shaped, or other shapes.
In step one, providing a first metal plate 200 and a second metal plate 300, the first metal plate 200 and the second metal plate 300 can be made of aluminum, and a size and shape of the first and second metal plate 200, 300 can be the same.
In step two, a plurality of location holes 210 can be respectively defined on the corners and edges of the first metal plate 200 and a second metal plate 300. In the illustrated embodiment, each metal plate can have three location holes 210, and the diameter of each location hole 210 is 9 mm.
In step three, a first recess 220 can be defined on surface of the first metal plate 200, a second recess 310 can be defined on surface of the second metal plate 300, and the first and second recess 220, 310 can have the same size and shape.
In step four, the first metal plate 200 and a second metal plate 300 can be welded together, and define a composite plate 400, then the edge of the composite plate 400 can be properly removed. In this situation, the first recess 220 can be coupled to the second recess 310, and define the wire passage 24. The location holes 210 of the first metal plate 200 can communicate with the location holes 210 of the second metal plate 300.
In step five, the edges of the composite plate 400 can be processed into rounded corners.
In step six, the composite plate 400 can be processed into the support 20 through bending.
The first portion 4411 can be defined on the second side wall 412 or the third side wall 413, which can avoid an electric shock hazard to the user. The second portion 4421 can be defined on first side wall 411, so it is convenient to plug in or unplug out the storage devices.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a support and a display device using the support. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, including in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
