Abstract

A link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus includes: a fixing base, having at least one operating slot; at least one distal plate device, having at least one pair of distal plates embedded in the operating slot, and slidably moving in the operating slot, and an upper frame plate disposed at an external side of the distal plate; at least one contractible device, formed by pivotally coupling link rods, and installed in the operating slot, and a side of the contractible device being pivotally coupled to the distal plate; and a containing space, defined by the upper frame plate of the distal plates for installing a screen. The distal plate is contractible in the operating slot for adjusting the containing space, such that the invention can fit screens of different sizes, and provide a convenient replacement and a dynamic adjustment.

Claims

1. A link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus, comprising:

a fixing base, having mutually perpendicular operating slots disposed on both surfaces of said fixing base respectively;

at least one distal plate device, having at least one pair of distal plates embedded and positioned in at least one of said operating slots, and slidably moving in said at least one operating slot, and an upper frame plate disposed at an external side of said distal plate;

at least one contractible device, formed by pivotally coupling a plurality of link rods, and installed in said at least one of operating slots, and a side of said contractible device being pivotally coupled to said distal plate; and

a containing space, defined by said upper frame plate of said pair of distal plates for installing a screen.

2. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said operating slot is a transversal or longitudinal concave slot.

3. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said at least one of operating slots includes a bar-shaped embedded slide slot disposed separately on both sides of said at least one operating slot.

4. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said operating slot includes a positioning pillar disposed in a center of said operating slot for pivotally coupling and positioning said contractible device.

5. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said fixing base includes a press plate disposed at a position corresponding to a connecting position of said operating slot and extended towards said operating slot.

6. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said distal plate includes a pair of transversal first distal plates and a pair of longitudinal second distal plates, and said contractible device includes a transversally installed first contractible device and a longitudinally installed second contractible device.

7. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said distal plate includes a positioning hole for coupling said embedded slide slot of said fixing base.

8. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said distal plate includes a concave surface disposed at an internal side of said distal plate, and said concave surface includes a pivotal connecting hole for pivotally coupling said contractible device.

9. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said distal plate includes a lower frame plate extended from an external side of said distal plate for coupling said upper frame plate.

10. A link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus, comprising:

a fixing base, having two operating slots;

two distal plate devices, having two first distal plates and two second distal plates, and said first distal plate and said second distal plate being disposed at said two operating slots and slidably moving in said two operating slots respectively, and an external side of said first distal plate and said second distal plate having an upper frame plate;

a contractible device, having a first contractible device and a second contractible device disposed in said two operating slots respectively, and said first contractible device and said second contractible device being formed by pivotally coupling a plurality of link rods, and a side of said first contractible device being pivotally coupled to said first distal plate, and a side of said second contractible device being pivotally coupled to said second distal plate; and

a containing space, defined by said upper frame plates of the pair of said first distal plates and said second distal plates, for installing a screen.

11. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said two operating slots are perpendicular to each other, and disposed on both surfaces of said fixing base respectively.

12. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said operating slot includes a bar-shaped embedded slide slot disposed separately on both sides of said operating slot.

13. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said operating slot includes a positioning pillar disposed in a center of said operating slot for pivotally coupling and positioning said first contractible device or said second contractible device.

14. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said fixing base includes a press plate disposed at a position corresponding to a connecting position of said operating slot and extended towards said operating slot.

15. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said first distal plate includes a positioning hole for coupling said embedded slide slot of said fixing base.

16. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said first distal plate and said second distal plate separately include a concave surface disposed on internal sides of said first distal plate and said second distal plate, and said concave surface includes a pivotal connecting hole.

17. The link rod type adjustable screen fixing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said first distal plate and said second distal plate separately include a lower frame plate extended from external sides of said first distal plate and said second distal plate for coupling said corresponding upper frame plate.
