Abstract

A display device including a casing, a guiding track, a sliding element and a holder is provided. The casing has a first surface and a second surface. The guiding track is disposed on the second surface. The sliding element is movably coupled with the guiding track. The holder is corresponding to the sliding element and disposed on the first surface for clamping an article. The sliding element and the holder are magnetically attracted with each other. The sliding element and the holder are synchronized when sliding along the guiding track for adjusting the position of the article on the display device.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising:

a casing having a first surface and a second surface;

a guiding track disposed on the second surface;

a sliding element movably coupled with the guiding track; and

a holder corresponding to the sliding element and disposed on the first surface for clamping an article;

wherein, the sliding element and the holder are magnetically attracted with each other, so that the sliding element and the holder are synchronized when sliding along the guiding track for adjusting the position of the article on the display device.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the sliding element possesses magnetism and the holder possesses paramagnetism.

3. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the holder possesses magnetism and the sliding element possesses paramagnetism.

4. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the sliding element and the holder both possess magnetism, the two opposite sides between the sliding element and the holder are magnetically attracted with each other.

5. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the guiding track neighbors at least one outer edge of the second surface.

6. The display device according to claim 5, wherein the guiding track neighbors three outer edges of the second surface.

7. The display device according to claim 6, wherein the guiding track has a plurality of bending portions which are curved structures for enabling the sliding element to slide between two neighboring outer edges of the second surface.

8. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the guiding track has a first rib, the sliding element has a first recess, and the first recess is connected to the first rib, so that the sliding element and the holder are synchronized when sliding along the guiding track.

9. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the guiding track has a second recess, the sliding element has a second rib, and the second rib is embedded into the second recess, so that the sliding element and the holder are synchronized when sliding along the guiding track.

10. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the holder comprises:

an suction board flatly pressing the first surface, wherein the suction board and the sliding element are magnetically attracted with each other; and

a clamping portion coupled with the suction board for clamping the article.

11. The display device according to claim 10, wherein the article has a protruded spindle, the clamping portion has a through hole, and the protruded spindle is inserted into the through hole.

12. The display device according to claim 11, wherein the protruded spindle rotates within the through hole for enabling the article to rotate with respect to the display device.

13. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the casing and the guiding track are integrally formed in one piece.

14. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the casing and the guiding track do not possess magnetism or paramagnetism.
