ADJUSTABLY-TILTABLE SUPPORTING APPARATUS AND DISPLAY WITH THE SAME
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An adjustably-tiltable supporting apparatus, capable of supporting an object, comprising:
- a shelf member having a inner side;
a supporting member having a outer side facing the inner side of the shelf member, the supporting member being pivotally mounted on the shelf member, the object being capable of being mounted on the supporting member;
a friction device comprising a friction member, the friction device being adjustably mounted on the inner side of the shelf member and, via the friction member, urging against the outer side of the supporting member; and
a first resilient member compressed between the shelf member and the supporting member;
wherein when the tilt of the object is adjusted, the supporting member rotates relative to the shelf member such that the outer side of supporting member slides on the friction member to generate a friction which balances a torque generated by the weight of the object and an elastic force generated by the first resilient member so as to fix the tilt.

Abstract
The invention provides an adjustably-tiltable supporting apparatus which is capable of supporting an object, and it includes a shelf member, a supporting member, a friction device, and a resilient member. When the tilt of the object is adjusted, the supporting member rotates relative to the shelf member so that the outer side of supporting member slides relative to a friction member of the friction device to generate a friction which balances a difference between a torque generated by the weight of the object and an elastic force generated by the resilient member so as to fix the tilt.

8. An adjustably-tiltable display, comprising:
-
a displaying apparatus; a base; a shelf member having a inner side, the shelf member being mounted on the base; a supporting member having a outer side facing the inner side of the shelf member, the supporting member being pivotally mounted on the shelf member, the displaying apparatus being mounted on the supporting member; a friction device comprising a friction member, the friction device being adjustably mounted on the inner side of the shelf member and, via the friction member, urging against the outer side of the supporting member; and a first resilient member compressed between the shelf member and the supporting member; wherein when the tilt of the displaying apparatus is adjusted, the supporting member rotates relative to the shelf member such that the outer side of supporting member slides on the friction member to generate a friction which balances a torque generated by the weight of the displaying apparatus and an elastic force generated by the first resilient member so as to fix the tilt. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
