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

Номер: US20120001041A1
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.

The present invention is to provide a bracket, which comprises a main body having a first end with two sides horizontally pivoted to a first end of a horizontal support element respectively and a second end vertically pivoted to a first end of a vertical support element, so that a second end of each of the horizontal support elements can be opened away from each other and a second end of the vertical support element can be extended to an inclined angle away from the horizontal support elements. Thus, when lower surfaces of the two horizontal support elements are placed on a plane (such as a desk surface), a user can place a table electronic device stably on a virtual inclined support plane formed between the vertical and horizontal support elements.

Устройство для установки переносных приборов

Номер: RU0000190445U1

Полезная модель относится к устройствам для оперативной установки переносных приборов и технологического оборудования непосредственно на трубопроводы различного диаметра при проведении полевых работ и может быть использована в областях промышленности, связанных с трубопроводным транспортом. Задачами настоящей полезной модели являются: обеспечение возможности установки на поверхность трубопровода приборов или устройств для проведения измерений и диагностических обследований; малый вес устройства, необходимый для минимизации нагрузки на трубопровод; простота монтажа. Поставленные задачи решаются путем использования сборного устройства. Устройство для установки переносных приборов в сборе накладывается непосредственно на металлический трубопровод диаметром D стандартного ряда (159-1420 мм) и удерживается на нем благодаря тому, что оно изготавливается из полимерных материалов, обладающих хорошей адгезией к металлическим поверхностям - силиконов, полимерных композитных материалов. Предлагаемое устройство позволяет проводить диагностические и другие виды исследований при размещении приборов и технологического оборудования непосредственно на поверхности трубопровода, когда затруднительно использование специальных опорных устройств, монтируемых на вертикальных или горизонтальных поверхностях.
