The instant disclosure provides a photo-frame-type display and a support unit thereof. The display has a display frame unit having a bottom portion disposable on a working surface. The support unit comprises a connecting base unit fixedly disposed to the back of the display frame unit, an inclining module pivotally coupled to the connecting base unit, and a rebounding module on the back of the display frame unit in elastic connection with the inclining module. The photo-frame-type display may be disposed on a tabletop in a fashion resembling a traditional photo frame, and the support unit is capable of steadily sustaining the display frame unit in a steep inclining configuration suitable for touch-screen/handwriting operations.

Display frame and support unit thereof

A support unit of photo-frame-type display includes a connecting base unit, at least one pivoting unit fixed to the connecting base unit, a supporting housing and a rebounding module received in the supporting housing. The connecting base unit is mounted to the back of a display frame unit. The pivoting unit includes an axle shaft, a frictional washer-assembly, a spool member fixedly installed on the axle shaft, and a tension-connecting element. A tension-connecting element has one end fixed in the spool member and wound around the spool member, and one bottom end connected to the rebounding module. The frictional washer-assembly provides frictional force between the connecting base unit and the supporting housing. The rebounding module includes at least one elastic element. The present disclosure is capable of steadily sustaining the display frame unit in a steep inclining configuration suitable for touch-screen/handwriting operations.

A support having a transmission mechanism using a thin connecting piece includes a support base body, a transmission plate, a supporting plate and at least one thin connecting piece. The support base body has a base and brackets extending upwardly from the base. The distal end of the bracket is provided with a fixing sleeve. One end of the transmission plate is pivotally connected to the bracket. The supporting plate connected to the other end of the transmission plate. The supporting plate is provided with pivoting sleeves. The thin connecting piece is disposed on the transmission plate. Via this arrangement, the supporting plate can be kept vertical in synchronization with the swinging of the transmission plate. Thereby saving the space greatly and reducing the whole volume occupied by the support and peripheral elements. In this way, the assembling process is simplified, the productivity is increased, and the cost is reduced.

A supporting rack having a compensating mechanism includes a rack body, an action force compensating assembly, a transmission element and a supporting plate. The rack body has a base and support arms. The action force compensating assembly is provided in the rack body. The elastic element is firmly connected to the base. One end of the dragging piece is connected to the hooking plate. The rotating piece is provided on a distal end of the support arm. The other end of the dragging piece is connected to the rotating piece. One end of the transmission element is firmly connected to the rotating piece and pivoted on the support arm. Via the above arrangement, an appropriate force can be applied to the supporting plate. When the user intends to adjust the supporting plate, the elastic element can generate an effect for compensating the action force, thereby providing a better operation feeling.

A support frame for a variety of display devices includes a base, a frame, a sliding part, and a rotation part. The frame is located on the base and has a receiving portion and at least one friction enhancer located in the receiving portion. The sliding part can slide upwards or downwards is located at the frame. The rotation part, pivoted with the sliding part, rotates between a fixed location and a release location; and furthermore has a leaning portion that extends into the receiving portion of the frame. When the rotation part is located at the fixed location, the leaning portion tightly leans against the friction enhancer so that the display device is positioned at the frame. When the rotation part is located at the release location, there is a distance between the leaning portion and the friction enhancer so that the display device can slide upwards or downwards.

Support frame for a variety kinds of display devices

A bracket with a horizontal displacement compensation capacity includes a base, a sliding stand, an elastic element, a displacement compensation linkage assembly, and a support body. The sliding stand slides on the base. Both ends of the elastic element are respectively fixed to the base and the sliding stand. The displacement compensation linkage assembly includes a first rod, a second rod and an abutting piece. The rods are for connecting to the base and the sliding stand. The abutting piece is pivotally connected to the pivoting portion between the other ends of the first and second rods. Via the above arrangement, when the support body is swinging, a displacement compensation action can be generated in the horizontal direction, so that the viewing distance between a supported article and a user can be kept constant. Furthermore, the vertical height can be adjusted and the horizontal distance can be kept simultaneously.
