Abstract

A structure for hanging an electronic device is provided. The structure includes a supporting element, an adaptive element and a carrying element. The carrying element having a rail is disposed on the electronic device. The rail has an upper supporting plate. The adaptive element has a sliding axle. As the sliding axle slides into the rail, the sliding axle supports the upper supporting plate, and the upper supporting plane limits the vertical movement of the sliding axle. The adaptive element has a receiving space defining an opening. The supporting element passes through the opening and has a bottom plate disposed in the receiving space. In a first state, the bottom plate engages with the adaptive element, but in the second state, a distance exists between the bottom plate and the adaptive element allowing users to adjust the electronic device.

Claims

1. A structure for hanging an electronic device, comprising:

an adaptive element for connecting the electronic device, the adaptive element including a receiving space defining an opening; and

a supporting element for supporting the adaptive element, the supporting element passing through the opening and having a bottom plate disposed within the receiving space;

wherein the structure selectively has a first state and a second state;

in the first state, the bottom plate is engaged with the adaptive element; and

in the second state, a distance exists between the bottom plate and the adaptive element allowing users to adjust the electronic device.

2. The structure of claim 1 further comprising a pad disposed between the bottom plate and the supporting element for providing a friction between the bottom plate and the supporting element.

3. The structure of claim 1 further comprising a connecting element, and the adaptive element including a hole, wherein the connecting element passes through the hole to connect with the bottom plate, and the connecting element moves along a sidewall of the hole, responsive to a movement of the electronic device, to limit a rotation angle of the electronic device.

4. The structure of claim 3, wherein the hole is a camber-shaped hole.

5. The structure of claim 3, wherein the connecting element is a screw.

6. The structure of claim 1, wherein the adaptive element further includes a hinge for adjusting a tilt angle of the electronic device.

7. The structure of claim 1, wherein the supporting element includes a plurality of holes and a plurality of screw nuts corresponding to the plurality of holes, and a vertical position of the electronic device is determined by allowing a screw passing through one of the plurality of holes and engaging with one of the plurality of screw nuts.

8. The structure of claim 1 further comprising a sliding axle and a rail, wherein the sliding axle is disposed on the adaptive element, the rail having an upper supporting plane is disposed on the electronic device, and as the sliding axle slides into the rail, the sliding axle supports the upper supporting plate, and the upper supporting plane limits the vertical movement of the sliding axle.

9. The structure of claim 8, wherein the sliding axle and the rail are fixed together by a screw.
