Abstract

A display device having a foldable base is provided. The display device includes a monitor and a foldable base for supporting the monitor. The foldable base includes a first unit connected to the monitor, an adjustable element with a first end movably disposed in the first unit and a second end rotatable with respect to the first end, and a second unit rotatably connected to the second end. The second unit is selectively posed in a first position or a second position with respect to the first unit.

Claims

1. A display device having a foldable base, comprising:

a monitor; and

a foldable base supporting said monitor, comprising;

a first unit connected to said monitor;

an adjustable element with a first end movably disposed in said first unit and a second end rotatable with respect to said first end; and

a second unit rotatably connected to said second end and being selectively located in a first position or a second position with respect to said first unit.

2. The display device of claim 1, wherein, said second unit is adjacent to said first unit as said second unit is located in said first position, and said second unit is separated from and located above said first unit as said second unit is placed in said second position.

3. The display device of claim 2, further comprising a first track with a first length provided in said first unit, wherein said first end is movable along said first track.

4. The display device of claim 3, wherein, said second unit is moved said first length along a first direction, rotated with respect to said first end, and rotated with respect to said second end to be placed in said second position.

5. The display device of claim 1, further comprising:

a first positioning part disposed on said first unit; and

a second positioning part corresponding to said first positioning part disposed on said second unit;

wherein as said first positioning part and said second positioning part are connected together, said second unit is located in said first position and connected to said first unit.

6. The display device of claim 5, wherein said first positioning part is a female element and said second positioning element is a male element.

7. The display device of claim 5, wherein said first positioning part is a male element and said second positioning element is a female element.

8. The display device of claim 1, wherein said adjustable element comprises a linkage structure.

9. The display device of claim 8, wherein said linkage structure comprises a rod and two bolts disposed at two ends of said rod.

10. A display device having a foldable base, comprising:

a monitor; and

a foldable base supporting said monitor, comprising;

a first unit connected to said monitor;

a second unit movably connected to said first unit; and

an adjustable element with a first end pivotally connected to said first unit and a second end movably disposed in said second unit, said second end being rotatable with respect to said first end to locate said second unit in a first position or a second position with respect to said first unit.

11. The display device of claim 10, wherein, said second unit is adjacent to said first unit as said second unit is located in said first position, and said second unit is separated from and located above said first unit as said second unit is placed in said second position.

12. The display device of claim 11, further comprising a second track with a second length provided in said second unit, wherein said second end is movable along said second track.

13. The display device of claim 12, wherein, said second unit is moved said second length along a first direction, rotated with respect to said first end, and moved said second length along a second direction to be placed in said second position.

14. The display device of claim 13, wherein said second direction is opposite to said first direction.

15. The display device of claim 10, wherein said adjustable element comprises a linkage structure.

16. The display device of claim 15, wherein said linkage structure comprises a rod and two bolts disposed at two ends of said rod.

17. The display device of claim 10, further comprising:

a first positioning part disposed on said first unit; and

a second positioning part corresponding to said first positioning part disposed on said second unit;

wherein as said first positioning part and said second positioning part are connected together, said second unit is located in said first position and connected to said first unit.

18. The display device of claim 17, wherein said first positioning part is a female element and said second positioning element is a male element.

19. The display device of claim 17, wherein said first positioning part is a male element and said second positioning element is a female element.
