Abstract

An display support has a yoke connecting between a securing plate and a pivot plate. The yoke has a linkage movably received between confining holes and a threaded bolt extending through a central hole in the securing plate to be screwingly connected to a nut. The yoke is pivotally connected to the pivot plate via a pivot. Therefore, adjustment of the nut changes the angle of the pivot plate relative to the securing plate.

Claims

1. A display support comprising:

a pair of securing plates each having holes so defined that the pair of securing plates are able to be securely connected to a surface, a bend formed on a top portion of the securing plate and having a central hole defined therethrough, a pair of wings extending out from opposite sides of the securing plate and each having a confining hole defined to correspond to each other, a pair of folds extending in parallel to the pair of wings and each having a pivot hole defined in a bottom of the fold so that a rivet is able to be received between the folds to correspond to the two pivot holes respectively;

a pair of pivot plates each pivotally connected to a corresponding one of the securing plates and defining therein securing holes, two first pivot holes in a bottom of a pair of baffle plates extending out in parallel from the pivot plate and two second pivot holes in a top of the pair of baffle plates, wherein the two first pivot holes correspond to the two pivot holes of the securing plate so that a first pivot is able to be secured between the folds and the baffle plates via rivets and each of the two pivot plates is pivotal relative to the corresponding securing plate;

a pair of yokes each having two first engaging holes correspond to the two confining holes, two second engaging holes to correspond to the two second pivot holes of the pivot plate, a second pivot corresponding to the two second engaging holes and the two second pivot holes so that the second pivot is able to be secured to the yoke and the pivot plate via a first securing element, a linkage extending through the two first engaging holes and received between the two wings to be limited in the confining holes by a first securing element, two threaded bolts each extending through the central hole to be screwingly connected to a nut; and

a pair of locking plates each having locking holes defined in two opposite ends of the locking plate to correspond to securing holes of each of the pair of pivot plates and engaging plates adapted to be attached to a back side of a display to be hung on the locking plates, whereby the two locking plates are able to be securely connected to the pair of pivot plates due to the corresponding relationship between the locking holes and the securing holes.

2. The display support as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the yokes has two walls and the two first engaging holes and two second engaging holes are respectively defined in a top and a bottom of the two walls.

3. The display support as claimed in claim 2, wherein each pivot plate has a cutout defined to allow the threaded bolt to extend therethrough.
