Abstract

An engaging device for a computer screen in a car, comprises a fixing base fixedly attached in the car, lock block, and a coupling frame attached to the rear side of the computer screen. The lock block is rotatably engages with the fixing base by way of two pivots. The pivots have a function of stagnating the lock block at specific angular position optionally. Both lateral sides of the coupling frame have a locking hole respectively and the lock block at both lateral sides thereof provides an elastic engaging plate therein. The respective elastic engaging plate has a part extending outward through the locking hole. Once the lock block is inserted into the coupling frame, a detachable firm engagement between the lock block and the coupling frame can be reached substantially.

Claims

1. An engaging device for a computer green in a car, comprising:

a fixing base, being fixedly attached to a proper location in the car; and

a lock block, fitting with the fixing base characterized in that the lock block is rotatably engages with the fixing base by way of two pivots to be stagnated at a specific angular position optionally;

a coupling frame is provided at a rear side of the computer screen and both lateral sides of the coupling frame having a locking hole respectively;

the lock block at both lateral sides thereof provides an elastic engaging plate therein and the elastic engaging plate having a part extending outward through the locking hole;

whereby, once the lock block is inserted into the coupling frame, a detachable firm engagement between the lock block and the coupling frame can be reached substantially.

2. The engaging device for a computer screen in a car as defined in claim 1, wherein the lock block has a frame recession at the central part thereof to be fastened a power socket panel with a plurality outlet ends;

and a power source wire externally connects with the lock block.

3. The engaging device for a computer screen in a car as defined in claim 1, wherein the elastic engaging plate has a bent part and a facial plate with opening is attached to a rear side of the lock block such that the bent part may expose from the opening.

4. The engaging device for a computer screen in a car as defined in claim 1, wherein the coupling frame has a locking edge at three lateral sides thereof respectively and a central space enclosed by said locking edges;

and a respective engaging hole is disposed near the lower end of two opposites ones of the locking edges corresponding to the outward bents of the elastic engaging plates.
