Fixing mechanism capable of adjusting a hanging angle of an electronic device relative to a pole or a support wall

Номер: US20120001041A1
Автор: Chih-Chan Chiang, Kai-Tien Peng, Wan-Ru Yang
Принадлежит: ZyXEL Communications Corp

A fixing mechanism includes a first bending plate, a second bending plate and a fixing part. The second bending plate is connected to the first bending plate at a bending angle. The second bending plate is used for screwing onto an electronic device with the first bending plate. The fixing part is detachably disposed through the first bending plate or the second bending plate to be disposed around a pole. The fixing part is used for clamping the pole with first tooth structures on the first bending plate or second tooth structures on the second bending plate. When the fixing part clamps the pole with the first tooth structures, the electronic device is substantially parallel to the pole. When the fixing part clamps the pole with the second tooth structures, an angle included between the electronic device and the pole is equal to a supplementary angle of the bending angle.

Some embodiments provide a pivot mechanism and/or system that includes a support member defining a cavity and an extension member at least partially located within the cavity. In some cases one or more inner surfaces of the cavity can provide one or more pivots defining multiple pivot axes about which the extension member is generally pivotable through corresponding pivot ranges. The extent of the pivot ranges can be defined by the cavity within the support member. In some cases cooperating clamp members engage the extension member and the support member to retain the extension member within the cavity. The clamp members may also include sliding surfaces that slidingly engage with the support member to provide frictional resistance to pivoting movement of the extension member. Electronic display pivoting and positioning systems are also provided as are methods for positioning and pivoting electronic displays. 1. A pivoting support system , comprising: the cavity extending through the support member between a first opening in the support member and a second opening in the support member,', 'the inner surface located within the cavity and providing a pivot defining a first pivot axis extending through the support member,', 'the cavity defining a first pivot range about the first pivot axis;, 'a support member defining a cavity and comprising an inner surface,'} the extension member located at least partially within the cavity of the support member near the pivot so that the extension member is generally pivotable about the first pivot axis through the first pivot range defined by the cavity,', 'the first end of the extension member protruding from the first opening in the support member;, 'an extension member comprising first and second ends,'}a first clamp member and a second clamp member, the first and the second clamp members engaging the extension member and the support member to retain the extension member at least partially within the cavity of the support ...
