[0002] The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is an international organization that develops standards for video devices for computers and small workstations. The association specifies interface standards for flat-panel displays that allow users to mount flat-panel displays, televisions, or other displays on stands or wall mounts.

[0003] Since the interfaces of most monitors comply with the interface specifications defined by the VESA association, when a user wants to fix the monitor on a desktop or a wall, he or she only needs to fix the monitor to the adapter plate and then connect it to the bracket or wall-mounted bracket through the adapter plate.

[0004] The adapter plate is usually screwed to the bracket by multiple screws. Therefore, when installing, the user first connects the adapter plate to the monitor and then uses the screws to lock the adapter plate and the bracket. If the monitor is to be detached from the bracket, the screws must be unscrewed first to separate the adapter plate from the bracket. During the process of locking and unscrewing the screws, the user must use one hand to operate the screwdriver to lock or unscrew the screws, and the other hand to hold the monitor to prevent the monitor from accidentally falling during the disassembly process, which is not easy to operate.

The cantilever bracket includes a bracket device 2 and a connecting device 3. An axis X, a first direction Z at an angle to the axis X, and a second direction Y at an angle to the axis X and the first direction Z are defined.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bracket device 2 includes a base 21 that can be clamped on a flat plate (not shown, such as a table top), a cantilever 22 connected to the base 21 and capable of rotating, a pivot seat 23 connected to one end of the cantilever 22 away from the base 21 and formed with an axial hole 230, and two fixing members 24 respectively penetrated at two opposite ends of the axial hole 230 along the second direction Y.

[0036] See also Figures 3 to 6 The connecting device 3 is arranged between the adapter plate 92 of the display 9 and the bracket device 2, and includes a mounting seat 4, a plug-in module 5, a locking piece 6, and a turntable 7.

[0037] The mounting seat 4 is disposed on the pivot seat 23 of the bracket device 2, and includes a base wall 41, a fixed wall 42 extending from the base wall 41 along the direction of the axis X, a pivot portion 43 disposed on a side of the base wall 41 opposite to the fixed wall 42 and disposed on the pivot seat 23, and a first rib 44 and a second rib 45 disposed on the base wall 41 at intervals along the circumferential direction of the axis X.

[0038] The base wall 41 cooperates with the fixed wall 42 to define an insertion space 40 extending along the first direction Z. The insertion space 40 has an entrance 400 located in the first direction Z.

[0039] The base wall 41 has a locking hole 411 .

[0040] The fixed wall 42 is formed with two guide portions 421 spaced apart along the second direction Y, and two extension portions 422 extending from the corresponding guide portion 421 toward the other guide portion 421. A plug-in slot 423 extending along the first direction Z and connected to the plug-in space 40 is formed on the side surface of each guide portion 421. The extension portions 422 cooperate to define a slot 424 facing the slot 921 of the adapter plate 92.

[0041] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The pivoting portion 43 has two pivoting blocks 432 spaced apart along the second direction Y and each defining a pivoting hole 431. The pivoting blocks 432 are respectively disposed on both sides of the pivoting seat 23, and the pivoting holes 431 are located corresponding to the shaft holes 230 so that the fixing members 24 can be inserted therein, and the fixing members 24 are screwed together to fix the pivoting portion 43 and the pivoting seat 23.

[0042] See also Figures 4 to 7 The plug-in module 5 can be disassembled to connect the adapter board 92 of the display 9, and includes a plug-in block 51 that can enter and exit the plug-in space 40 along the first direction Z and is set and detached from the mounting seat 4, and a connecting piece 52 that passes through the plug-in block 51 to connect the adapter board 92.

[0043] The plug block 51 has a limiting hole 511 corresponding to the locking hole 411, a connecting hole 512 spaced apart from and penetrating the limiting hole 511 along the first direction Z, and a limiting member 513 protruding along the extending direction of the axis X and penetrating the slot 921. In this embodiment, the limiting member 513 matches the slot 921 in an arc shape of about a quarter of a circle around the axis X, and limits the adapter plate 92 so that the adapter plate 92 can only rotate about a quarter of a circle relative to the connecting device 3 after being installed on the connecting device 3.

[0044] The plug-in block 51 has a setting groove 514 connected to the connecting hole 512 formed on the side opposite to the display 9, and the outer periphery of the plug-in block 51 has a plug-in portion 515 whose shape corresponds to the guide portion 421 and can be movably inserted in the plug-in groove 423 along the first direction Z.

[0045] One end of the connecting member 52 passes through the connecting hole 512 and the screw hole 922, and the other end is disposed in the disposing groove 514 and abuts against the plug-in block 51. In this embodiment, the connecting member 52 is a non-cylindrical screw, and the connecting hole 512 is a non-circular hole, thereby limiting the connecting member 52 from rotating relative to the connecting hole 512.

[0046] The locking element 6 can be inserted into the locking hole 411 of the base wall 41 and the limiting hole 511 of the plug-in block 51 to fix the mounting seat 4 and the plug-in module 5. In this embodiment, the locking element 6 is a screw.

[0047] The turntable 7 is rotatably disposed on the mounting seat 4 around the axis X, and includes a substantially annular ring wall 71 surrounding the axis X, and a surrounding wall 72 extending from the outer periphery of the ring wall 71 along the axis X. The ring wall 71 cooperates with the surrounding wall 72 to define an opening 70 .

[0048] It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, the turntable 7 is made of plastic material, but the turntable 7 can also be made of metal or other materials as long as it can be rotatably disposed on the mounting seat 4, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0049] A plurality of stoppers 711 extending inwardly and capable of abutting against the fixing wall 42 of the mounting seat 4 are formed on the inner circumference of the annular wall 71 .

[0050] See also Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9The surrounding wall 72 is formed with a first rib 73 extending inwardly and capable of being engaged with the outer peripheral edge of the fixed wall 42, and a second rib 74 spaced apart from the first rib 73 along the circumferential direction of the axis X and capable of being engaged with the outer peripheral edge of the fixed wall 42.

[0051] See also Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The first rib 73 has a first open end 731 that can abut against the first rib 44, and a first retracted end 732 that is opposite to the first open end 731 and can abut against the second rib 45. The second rib 74 has a second open end 741 that can abut against the second rib 45, and a second retracted end 742 that is opposite to the second open end 741.

[0052] It should be noted that the arc length of the first rib 73 moving between the first rib portion 44 and the second rib portion 45 is greater than the arc length defined by the opening 70 .

[0053] The turntable 7 can be in an open position ( Fig. 9 ) and a collapsed position ( Fig.10 ). In the open position, the opening 70 is connected to the entrance 400, so that the plug-in module 5 can enter and exit the plug-in space 40 along the first direction Z. In the folded position, the opening 70 deviates from the entrance 400, and the surrounding wall 72 shields the entrance 400, so that the plug-in module 5 cannot enter and exit the plug-in space 40 along the first direction Z.

[0054] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 When implementing, first rotate the turntable 7 to the open position ( Fig. 9 ), so that the first open end 731 of the first rib 73 approaches and abuts against the first rib 44, and the second open end 741 of the second rib 74 abuts against the second rib 45, so as to limit the rotation of the rotating disk 7. At this time, the plug-in module 5 can be moved along the first direction Z into the plug-in space 40, so as to achieve the function of installing the plug-in module 5 on the mounting seat 4. Then, the rotating disk 7 is moved to Fig. 9 Rotate clockwise to the retracted position ( Fig.10), at this time, the first folding end 732 of the first rib 73 is close to and abuts against the second rib 45, and the second folding end 742 of the second rib 74 is close to the first rib 44, so as to limit the turntable 7 from continuing to rotate, so that the surrounding wall 72 covers the entrance 400, thereby preventing the plug-in module 5 from sliding out of the plug-in space 40 and falling.

[0055] If the display 9 is to be detached from the bracket device 2, the turntable 7 can be simply moved to the left. Fig.10 counterclockwise from the folded position ( Fig.10 ) to the open position ( Fig. 9 ), so that the opening 70 is connected to the inlet 400, the plug-in module 5 can move upward along the first direction Z and be withdrawn from the plug-in space 40, so that the display 9 is detached from the bracket device 2.

[0056] Through the above description, the advantages of the above embodiments can be summarized as follows:

[0057] 1. By providing the mounting base 4 to connect the bracket device 2, and providing the plug-in module 5 to connect the display 9, and providing the plug-in space 40 on the mounting base 4 for the plug-in module 5 to be installed in and out, the plug-in module 5 can drive the display 9 to be quickly disassembled. Compared with the existing adapter plate that is fixedly installed on the bracket device by screws and is not easy to disassemble, the present invention is simple to operate and convenient and fast.

[0058] Furthermore, by providing the turntable 7 with the opening 70 and rotating the turntable 7 relative to the mounting base 4 between the open position and the folded position to open or close the entrance 400, after the installation is completed, the entrance 400 can be closed to prevent the plug-in module 5 from sliding out of the plug-in space 40 and causing the display 9 to fall.

[0059] 2. By providing the first rib 73, the first rib 44 and the second rib 45, the arc length of the rotation of the turntable 7 can be limited to prevent the turntable 7 from being mistakenly rotated to align the entrance 400 with the opening 70 during use, thereby preventing the plug-in module 5 from sliding out of the plug-in space 40 and falling.

[0060] 3. By providing the setting groove 514 on the plug-in block 51, a position for accommodating one end of the connecting member 52 can be provided in a limited space.

[0061] 4. By providing the guiding portion 421, the direction of the plug-in module 5 entering and exiting the plug-in space 40 can be guided, thereby improving the smoothness of sliding.
