Abstract
A load-bearing structure and method of manufacture are provided and include: a clamping unit for clamping to a place to be fixed to and a load-bearing unit rotatably connected to the clamping unit for carrying items or allowing items to be hung on; the clamping unit further including a shell having a fixed clamp arm located at one end and protruding from the shell; a linkage component, disposed in the shell, for driving a movable clamp arm to move along the shell; and a lever member, located on a top surface of the fixed clamp arm and pivotally connected to the linkage component in the shell, for enabling the linkage component to control the clamping or loosening of the movable clamp arm and the fixed clamp arm. As such, the present invention allows versatile usages while clamping to a fixed place.
Claims20
A load-bearing structure with a clamp, comprising:
- a clamping unit comprising:
- a shell having a fixed clamp arm located at a first end of the shell and protruding from the shell,
- a movable clamp arm configured to move along a side wall of the shell and configured to move towards or away from the fixed clamp arm,
- a linkage component disposed in the shell, the linkage component for driving the movable clamp arm to move along the shell, and
- a lever member located on a top surface of the fixed clamp arm and pivotally connected to the linkage component in the shell, the linkage component configured to drive the moveable clamp arm based on the lever member being flipped, and the lever member configured to shorten a clamping distance between the movable clamp arm and the fixed clamp arm based on the lever member being pressed down against the top surface of the fixed clamp arm;
- and
- a load-bearing unit having an end portion, and the end portion rotatably connected to a second end of the shell away from the fixed clamp arm, the load-bearing unit configured to carry an item.
A load-bearing structure with a clamp, comprising:
- a clamping unit, the clamping unit comprising:
- a shell having a fixed clamp arm located at a first end of the shell and protruding from the shell, the shell being provided with a first docking groove and a stopper within the first docking groove,
- a movable clamp arm configured to move along a side wall of the shell and configured to move towards or away from the fixed clamp arm,
- a linkage component disposed in the shell, the linkage component comprising:
- a screw rod and a moving member installed at the screw rod, the moving member installed in the shell and limited to linear movement, the moving member driven to move based on the screw rod rotating, the movable clamp arm being engaged to the moving member, the moving member driving the movable clamp arm toward or away from the fixed clamp arm, and the screw rod extended through the fixed clamp arm, and
- a lever member located on a top surface of the fixed clamp arm and pivotally connected to the linkage component in the shell, the linkage component configured to drive the movable clamp arm to move linearly based on the lever member being flipped, and the lever member configured to shorten a clamping distance between the movable clamp arm and the fixed clamp arm based on the lever member being pressed down against the top surface of the fixed clamp arm;
- and
- a load-bearing unit having an end portion, the end portion rotatably connected to a second end of the shell away from the fixed clamp arm, the load-bearing unit configured to carry an item, the end portion provided with a second docking groove, the end portion configured to be adjusted aligning the second docking groove to the first docking groove.
A method of manufacturing a load-bearing structure with a clamp, comprising:
- forming a clamping unit comprising:
- a shell having a fixed clamp arm located at a first end of the shell and protruding from the shell,
- a movable clamp arm configured to move along a side wall of the shell and configured to move towards or away from the fixed clamp arm,
- a linkage component disposed in the shell, the linkage component for driving the movable clamp arm to move along the shell, and
- a lever member located on a top surface of the fixed clamp arm and pivotally connected to the linkage component in the shell, the linkage component configured to drive the moveable clamp arm based on the lever member being flipped, and the lever member configured to shorten a clamping distance between the movable clamp arm and the fixed clamp arm based on the lever member being pressed down against the top surface of the fixed clamp arm;
- and
- rotatably connecting a load-bearing unit having an end portion to a second end of the shell away from the fixed clamp arm, the load-bearing unit configured to carry an item.
