Abstract

A hanging module includes a first hanging mechanism. The first hanging mechanism includes first and second slot disks, first and second hook disks, a first sliding member, and a first guiding member. The first and second hook disks are disposed on first and second displayers respectively. A first hook of the first hook disk and a second hook of the second hook disk are used for hooking a first protruding slot of the first slot disk and a second protruding slot of the second slot disk respectively. The first sliding member has a first pivot portion and a first rod portion. The first guiding member has a second pivot portion and a first slot portion. The first and second pivot portions are pivoted onto the first and second protruding slots respectively. The first rod portion is slidably disposed in the first slot portion.

Claims

1. A hanging module for hanging a first displayer, a second displayer, and a third displayer, the hanging module comprising:

a first hanging mechanism comprising;

a first slot disk having at least one first protruding slot;

a first hook disk detachably disposed on the first displayer and having at least one first hook, the first hook being engaged with the first protruding slot for fixing the first hook disk on the first slot disk;

a second slot disk having at least one second protruding slot;

a second hook disk detachably disposed on the second displayer and having at least one second hook, the second hook being engaged with the second protruding slot for fixing the second hook disk on the second slot disk;

a first sliding member having a first pivot portion and a first rod portion, the first pivot portion being pivotally connected to the first protruding slot to make the first sliding member located between the first hook disk and the first slot disk when the first pivot portion is rotatably mounted on but not fixed on the first slot disk so that assembly of the first slot disk and the first hook disk pivots freely in 360 degrees relative to the first sliding member for adjusting an angle of the first sliding member relative to the first slot disk; and

a first guiding member having a second pivot portion and a first slot portion, the second pivot portion being pivotally connected to the second protruding slot, the first rod portion being slidably disposed in the first slot portion for adjusting a length of the first sliding member relative to the first guiding member; and

at least one second hanging mechanism connected to the first hanging mechanism, the second hanging mechanism comprising;

a third slot disk having at least one third protruding slot;

a third hook disk detachably disposed on the third displayer and having at least one third hook for hooking the third protruding slot;

a second sliding member having a third pivot portion and a second rod portion, the third pivot portion being pivotally connected to the second protruding slot; and

a second guiding member having a fourth pivot portion and a second slot portion, the fourth pivot portion being pivotally connected to the third protruding slot the second rod portion being slidably disposed in the second slot portion for adjusting a length of the second sliding member relative to the second guiding member.

2. The hanging module of claim 1, wherein a plurality of screw holes is formed on the first slot disk, a plurality of angle fixing holes is correspondingly formed on the first pivot portion, and the first pivot portion is fixed onto the first slot disk by screwing at least one of the plurality of angle fixing holes and the corresponding screw hole, for fixing an angle of the first sliding member relative to the first slot disk.

3. The hanging module of claim 2, wherein a plurality of screw holes is formed on the second slot disk, a plurality of angle fixing holes is correspondingly formed on the second pivot portion, and the second pivot portion is fixed onto the second slot disk by screwing at least one of the plurality of angle fixing holes and the corresponding screw hole, for fixing an angle of the first guiding member relative to the second slot disk.

4. The hanging module of claim 1, wherein a plurality of length fixing holes is formed on the first slot portion and the first rod portion respectively, and the first guiding member is fixed onto the first sliding member by screwing one of the plurality of length fixing holes on the first slot portion and the corresponding length fixing hole on the first rod portion, for fixing a length of the first sliding member relative to the first guiding member.

5. The hanging module of claim 1, wherein a plurality of screw holes is formed on the first slot portion and the first rod portion respectively, and the first sliding member and the first guiding member are fixed onto a support wall by screwing one of the plurality of screw holes on the first slot portion and the corresponding screw hole on the first rod portion, for hanging the first displayer and the second displayer on the support wall.

6. The hanging module of claim 1, wherein the first slot disk and the first hook disk have a protruding piece respectively, and the protruding piece of the first hook disk is fixed onto the protruding piece of the first slot disk in a screw locking manner when the first hook is hung on the first protruding slot.

7. The hanging module of claim 1, wherein the first hanging mechanism further comprises:

a connecting member connected to the first hook disk and the first displayer for fixing the first hook disk onto the first displayer.

8. The hanging module of claim 7, wherein a plurality of screw holes is formed on the connecting member, a plurality of angle fixing holes is formed on the first hook disk, and the connecting member is fixed onto the first hook disk by screwing the plurality of screw holes and the corresponding angle fixing holes, for fixing an angle of the connecting member relative to the first hook disk.

9. The hanging module of claim 7, wherein the connecting member is fixed onto the first displayer in a screw locking manner.

10. The hanging module of claim 1, wherein the first hanging mechanism further comprises:

a washer disk disposed between the first slot disk and the first sliding member.

11. The hanging module of claim 1, wherein a plurality of screw holes is formed on the second slot disk, a plurality of angle fixing holes is formed on the second pivot portion and the third pivot portion respectively, and the second pivot portion and the third pivot portion are fixed onto the second slot disk by screwing at least one of the plurality of screw holes and the corresponding angle fixing holes, for fixing an angle of the second slot disk relative to the first guiding member and the second sliding member.

12. The hanging module of claim 11, wherein a plurality of screw holes is formed on the third slot disk, a plurality of angle fixing holes is correspondingly formed on the fourth pivot portion, and the fourth pivot portion is fixed onto the third slot disk by screwing at least one of the plurality of angle fixing holes and the corresponding screw hole, for fixing an angle of the second guiding member relative to the third slot disk.

13.
