Abstract

A monitor stand for supporting a screen unit is provided. The monitor comprises a supporting unit, a mounting unit, at least one contact wall and at least one brake unit. The brake unit includes a resisting block capable of moving between a first position and a second position. A lower frictional threshold force is generated between the resisting block and the contact wall if the resisting block is at the first position; an upper frictional threshold force is generated between the resisting block and the contact wall if the resisting block is at the second position. The mounting unit moves against the supporting unit and toward a first direction or a second direction, and the resisting block is at the first position if the mounting unit moves toward the first direction, and the resisting block is at the second position if the mounting unit moves toward the second direction.

Dependent claims

A monitor stand for supporting a screen unit, comprising:

a supporting unit;
a mounting unit connecting with the screen unit and moving against the supporting unit;
wherein at least one contact wall is defined on at least one of the supporting unit and the mounting unit;
and
at least one brake unit correspondingly arranged between the mounting unit and the supporting unit comprising a resisting block that establishes frictional contact with the contact wall,
wherein the resisting block is movable between a first position and a second position with respect to one of the mounting unit and the supporting unit,
wherein when the resisting block is at the first position, the brake unit generates a lower frictional threshold force between the resisting block and the contact wall,
wherein when the resisting block is at the second position, the brake unit generates an upper frictional threshold force between the resisting block and the contact wall;
wherein the resisting block is biased (urged) toward the first position when the mounting unit moves toward a first direction with respect to the supporting unit;
and
wherein the resisting block is biased toward the second position when the mounting unit moves toward a second direction with respect to the supporting unit.
