Abstract

A bearing device comprises a plurality of bearing members and a plurality of connecting members. The length of at least one connecting member having a different length from other connecting members. The connecting members connect the bearing members together, thus adjusting distance between adjacent bearing members by varying the length of the connecting members.

Claims

1. A bearing device comprising:

a plurality of bearing members; and

a plurality of connecting members, at least one connecting member having a different length from other connecting members, the connecting members connecting the bearing members together, thus adjusting the distance between adjacent bearing members by varying the length of the connecting members;

wherein each bearing member includes a pole including a first connecting end and a second connecting end, the first connecting end has at least one latching block, the second connecting end defines at least one second latching slot;

each connecting member includes a male connecting end and a female connecting end, the male connecting end has at least one male connecting block latched with said at least one second latching slot, the female connecting end defines at least one clamping slot, in which said at least one latching block is latched.

2. The bearing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each bearing member includes a plurality of bearing flakes, the bearing flakes equably and spacedly protruding from a peripheral wall of the pole, the bearing flakes for supporting portable electronic devices thereon.

3. The bearing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the bearing flake is an “

L”

-shaped slice.

4. The bearing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first connecting end and the second connecting end connect each other, thus forming a resisting wall, the resisting wall faces the first connecting end.

5. The bearing device as claimed in claim 4, wherein there is two said latching blocks symmetrically protruding from the resisting wall, the second connecting end defines a first latching slot with an interior peripheral wall, the interior peripheral wall includes four clamping blocks, forming a said second latching slot between every two adjacent clamping blocks.

6. The bearing device as claimed in claim 5, wherein a diameter of the male connecting end is smaller than the diameter of the female connecting end, forming a ladder wall therebetween, the ladder wall resists the second connecting end, the resisting wall resists the female connecting end.

7. The bearing device as claimed in claim 6, wherein there is two said male connecting blocks symmetrically protruding from the male connecting end, the male connecting blocks latch in the second latching slots, the female connecting end defines a female connecting groove with an interior peripheral wall, the interior peripheral wall includes two protrusions symmetrically protruding therefrom, forming two said clamping slots therebetween, the latching blocks latch in the clamping slots.

8. The bearing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the poles decrease in diameter from one end to the other end.

9. A bearing device comprising:

a plurality of bearing members; and

a plurality of connecting members, at least one connecting member having a different length from other connecting members, the connecting members connecting the bearing members together, thus the distances between adjacent bearing members can be different;

wherein each bearing member includes a pole, the pole includes a first connecting end and a second connecting end opposite to the first connecting end, the first connecting end and the second connecting end connect each other, thus forming a resisting wall, the resisting wall faces the first connecting end;

the resisting wall includes two latching blocks symmetrically protruding therefrom, the second connecting end defines a first latching slot with an interior peripheral wall, the interior peripheral wall includes four clamping blocks, forming a second latching slot between every two adjacent clamping blocks, the latching blocks are inserted into the second latching slots.

10. The bearing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein each bearing member includes a plurality of bearing flakes, the bearing flakes equably and spacedly protruding from a peripheral wall of the pole, the bearing flakes for supporting portable electronic devices thereon.

11. The bearing device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the bearing flake is an “

L”

-shaped slice.

12. The bearing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the connecting members includes a male connecting end and a female connecting end, a diameter of the male connecting end is smaller than the diameter of the female connecting end, forming a ladder wall therebetween, the ladder wall resists the second connecting end, the resisting wall resists the female connecting end.

13. The bearing device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the male connecting end includes two male connecting blocks symmetrically protruding therefrom, the male connecting blocks latch in the second latching slots, the female connecting end defines a female connecting groove with an interior peripheral wall, the interior peripheral wall includes two protrusions symmetrically protruding therefrom, forming two clamping slots therebetween, the latching blocks latch in the clamping slots.

14. The bearing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the poles decrease in diameter from one end to the other end.
