Abstract

An angle/direction adjustable display device includes a rotary mount fixedly mounted on a support wall and rotated on an axis, a display holder frame having a fixed end pivoted to the rotary mount and a free end terminating in a coupling portion, and a video display device pivoted to the coupling portion at the free end of the display holder frame.

Claims

1. An angle/direction adjustable display device comprising:

a rotary mount fixedly mounted on a support wall and rotated on an axis;

a display holder frame having a fixed end pivoted to said rotary mount and a free end terminating in a coupling portion; and

a video display device pivoted to the coupling portion at the free end of said display holder frame, wherein said rotary mount comprises a hollow, rounded mounting disk fixedly fastened to the support wall, an annular rotary shell rotatably mounted on said mounting disk, and a hollow, rounded bottom cover shell on a bottom side of said mounting disk opposite to said annular rotary shell and fastened to said annular rotary shell so as to rotate with said annular rotary shell on said mounting disk, said bottom cover shell of said rotary mount having a locating groove, two pivot holes provided at two opposite sides of said locating groove and connected to the fixed end of said display holder frame by pivots, and friction devices installed in said pivot holes in contact with the fixed end of said display holder frame.

2. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 1 wherein said video display device comprises a recessed mounting portion pivoted to the coupling portion at the free end of said display holder frame by pivot devices, and second friction devices installed in said recessed mounting portion in contact with the coupling portion at the free end of said display.

3. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 1 wherein said bottom cover shell comprises a bottom recess for receiving said video display device when said display holder frame is turned inwards and closely attached to said bottom cover shell.

4. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 1 wherein said display holder frame has a plurality of tubular members.

5. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 1 further comprising a lock device installed in said rotary mount to releasably lock the free end of said display holder frame.

6. An angle/direction adjustable display device comprising:

a rotary mount fixedly mounted on a support wall and rotated on an axis;

a display holder frame having a fixed end pivoted to said rotary mount and a free end terminating in a coupling portion; and

a video display device pivoted to the coupling portion at the free end of said display holder frame, wherein said video display device comprises a recessed mounting portion pivoted to the coupling portion at the free end of said display holder frame by pivot devices, and friction devices installed in said recessed mounting portion in contact with the coupling portion at the free end of said display.

7. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 6 wherein said rotary mount comprises a hollow, rounded mounting disk fixedly fastened to the support wall, an annular rotary shell rotatably mounted on said mounting disk, and a hollow, rounded bottom cover shell covered on a bottom side of said mounting disk opposite to said annular rotary shell and fastened to said annular rotary shell so as to rotate with said annular rotary shell on said mounting disk.

8. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 7 wherein said bottom cover shell comprises a bottom recess for receiving said video display device when said display holder frame is turned inwards and closely attached to said bottom cover shell.

9. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 6 wherein said display holder frame has a plurality of tubular members.

10. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 6 further comprising a lock device installed in said rotary mount to releasably lock the free end of said display holder frame.

11. An angle/direction adjustable display device comprising:

a rotary mount fixedly mounted on a support wall and rotated on an axis;

a display holder frame having a fixed end pivoted to said rotary mount and a free end terminating in a coupling portion; and

a video display device pivoted to the coupling portion at the free end of said display holder frame, wherein said rotary mount comprises a hollow, rounded mounting disk fixedly fastened to the support wall, an annular rotary shell rotatably mounted on said mounting disk, and a hollow, rounded bottom cover shell on a bottom side of said mounting disk opposite to said annular rotary shell and fastened to said annular rotary shell so as to rotate with said annular rotary shell on said mounting disk, said bottom cover shell having a bottom recess for receiving said video display device when said display holder frame is turned inwards and closely attached to said bottom cover shell.

12. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 11 wherein said video display device comprises a recessed mounting portion pivoted to the coupling portion at the free end of said display holder frame by pivot devices, and friction devices installed in said recessed mounting portion in contact with the coupling portion at the free end of said display.

13. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 11 wherein said display holder has a plurality of tubular members.

14. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 11 further comprising a lock device installed in said rotary mount to releasably lock the free end of said display holder frame.

15. An angle/direction adjustable display device comprising:

a rotary mount fixedly mounted on a support wall and rotated on an axis;

a display holder frame having a fixed end pivoted to said rotary mount and a free end terminating in a coupling portion;

a video display device pivoted to the coupling portion at the free end of said display holder frame, and

a lock device installed in said rotary mount to releasably lock the free end of said display holder frame.

16. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 15 wherein said rotary mount comprises a hollow, rounded mounting disk fixedly fastened to the support wall, an annular rotary shell rotatably mounted on said mounting disk, and a hollow, rounded bottom cover shell on a bottom side of said mounting disk opposite to said annular rotary shell and fastened to said annular rotary shell so as to rotate with said annular rotary shell on said mounting disk.

17. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 16 wherein said bottom cover shell has a bottom recess for receiving said video display device when said display holder frame is turned inwards and closely attached to said bottom cover shell.

18. The angle/direction adjustable display device of claim 17 wherein said display holder frame has a plurality of tubular members.
