Abstract
A positioning device includes a fixing component including an arc slot with an end. A positioning plate is connected to the fixing component in a rotatable manner relative to the fixing component. The positioning plate includes a pillar positioned within the arc slot. The positioning device further includes a stopper positioned near on the end for stopping the pillar when the pillar slides near the end. A portion of the stopper protrudes over the arc slot to limit a rotational range of the positioning plate relative to the fixing component.
Claims23
A positioning device capable of adjusting a rotational range, the positioning device comprising:
- a fixing component comprising an arc slot with an end;
- a positioning plate connected to the fixing component in a rotatable manner relative to the fixing component, the positioning plate comprising a pillar positioned within the arc slot;
- and
- a stopper positioned near on the end for stopping the pillar when the pillar slides near the end, a portion of the stopper protruding over the arc slot to limit a rotational range of the positioning plate relative to the fixing component, the stopper comprises a screw positioned on the fixing component in a movable manner, length of the screw protruding over the arc slot is adjustable so as to change the range limit of the positioning plate relative to the fixing component;
- wherein when the length of the screw protruding over the arc slot is increased, then the range of the positioning plate rotatable relative to the fixing component is reduced;
- wherein when the length of the screw protruding over the arc slot is reduced, then the range of the positioning plate rotatable relative to the fixing component is increased.
A display device capable of adjusting a rotational range, the display device comprising:
- a first fixing component comprising a first arc slot with a first end;
- a display monitor;
- a positioning plate connected to the first fixing component in a rotatable manner relative to the first fixing component for supporting the display monitor, the positioning plate comprising a first pillar positioned within the first arc slot;
- and
- a first stopper positioned near the first end for stopping the first pillar when the first pillar slides near the first end, a portion of the first stopper protruding over the first arc slot to limit a rotational range of the positioning plate relative to the first fixing component, the first stopper comprises a screw positioned on the first fixing component in a movable manner, length of the screw protruding over the first arc slot is adjustable so as to change the range limit of the positioning plate relative to the first fixing component;
- wherein when the length of the screw protruding over the first arc slot is increased, then the range of the positioning plate rotatable relative to the first fixing component is reduced;
- wherein when the length of the screw protruding over the first arc slot is reduced, then the range of the positioning plate rotatable relative to the first fixing component is increased.
A positioning device with a rotary component, the positioning device comprising:
- a fixing component comprising an arc slot with an end;
- a positioning plate connected to the fixing component in a rotatable manner relative to the fixing component comprising a pillar positioned within the arc slot;
- and
- an elastic component positioned near the end of the arc slot and protruding over the arc slot, the elastic component comprising a first arm and a second arm, wherein an opening is formed between an end of the first arm and an end of the second arm, a width of the opening is less than a diameter of the pillar, the first arm and the second arm form a space;
- wherein the first arm and the second arm contain the pillar within the space when the pillar moves to the end of the arc slot.
A display device with a rotary component, the display device comprising:
- a fixing component comprising an arc slot with an end;
- a display monitor;
- a positioning plate connected to the fixing component in a rotatable manner relative to the fixing component for supporting the display monitor, the positioning plate comprising a pillar positioned within the arc slot;
- and
- an elastic component positioned near the end of the arc slot and protruding over the arc slot, the elastic component comprising a first arm and a second arm, wherein a opening is formed between an end of the first arm and an end of the second arm, width of the opening is less than diameter of the pillar, the first arm and the second arm form a space;
- wherein the first arm and the second arm contain the pillar within the space when the pillar moves to the end of the arc slot.
