Abstract
A housing includes a rear housing segment including a protruding post, a back plate disposed in front of the rear housing segment and including a protrusion, and a fastening member disposed between the rear housing segment and the back plate, and including a positioning cap, a positioning post, and an engaging hook. The positioning cap covers removably the protrusion. The positioning post protrudes from the positioning cap opposite to the protrusion and engages the protruding post. The engaging hook includes a clamping plate that cooperates with the positioning cap to clamp the board member there between, and an engaging block that removably engages an engaging hole in the board member.
Claims20
A housing for securing a board member that is formed with an engaging hole, comprising:
- a rear housing segment including a front surface and a protruding post that protrudes from said front surface;
- a back plate disposed in front of said rear housing segment, spaced apart from said front surface of said rear housing segment, and including a protrusion;
- and
- a fastening member disposed between said rear housing segment and said back plate and including a positioning cap covering removably said protrusion and having an outer surface opposite to said protrusion,
- a positioning post protruding from said outer surface of said positioning cap and engaged with said protruding post of said rear housing segment, and
- an engaging hook including a clamping plate that protrudes from said positioning post and that is spaced from said outer surface of said positioning cap, and an engaging block that protrudes from said clamping plate towards said outer surface of said positioning cap, said clamping plate and said positioning cap being operable to cooperatively clamp the board member there between, said engaging block being operable to removably engage in the engaging hole in the board member.
A display device, comprising:
- a display module;
- a board member formed with a plurality of engaging holes;
- and
- a housing including a rear housing segment including a front surface and a plurality of protruding posts that protrude from said front surface,
- a back plate disposed at the rear of said display module and in front of said rear housing segment, spaced apart from said front surface, and including a plurality of protrusions, and
- a plurality of fastening members, disposed between said rear housing segment and said back plate, each of said fastening members including a positioning cap, a positioning post and an engaging hook, said positioning cap covering removably a corresponding one of said protrusions and having an outer surface opposite to the corresponding one of said protrusions, said positioning post protruding from said outer surface of said positioning cap and being engaged with a corresponding one of said protruding posts, said engaging hook including a clamping plate that protrudes from said positioning post and that is spaced apart from said outer surface of said positioning cap, and an engaging block that protrudes from said clamping plate towards said outer surface of said positioning cap, said clamping plate and said positioning cap being operable to cooperate to clamp said board member therebetween, said engaging block being removably engaged in a corresponding one of said engaging holes in said board member.
A fastening member adapted to secure a board member between a rear housing segment and a back plate that is disposed behind a display module, the board member being formed with an engaging hole, the rear housing segment including a protruding post, the back plate including a protrusion, said fastening member comprising:
- a positioning cap including a cap body that is operable to cover the protrusion and that has an outer surface opposite to the protrusion, and an abutting protrusion that is formed on said outer surface of said cap body and that is configured for the board member to abut there against;
- a positioning post including a stop column that protrudes from said outer surface of said cap body and that is operable to abut against one side of the board member, and a coupling column that protrudes from one end of said stop column distal from said cap body, said coupling column being operable to be engaged with the protruding post;
- and
- an engaging hook including a clamping plate that protrudes from said stop column and that is spaced apart from said abutting protrusion, and an engaging block that protrudes from said clamping plate towards said outer surface of said positioning cap, said clamping plate and said abutting protrusion being operable to cooperatively clamp the board member there between, said engaging block being operable to be removably engaged in the engaging hole.
