[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a support device 1000 for supporting a display 2000 on a working surface 3000. The support device 1000 includes a base 1, a column 2, a sliding module 3, a spring module 4, a bearing member 5, and a cover plate 6. The base 1 is located on the working surface 3000, the column 2 is located on the base 1, the sliding module 3 is located on the column 2, the spring module 4 is located inside the column 2 and connected to the sliding module 3, the bearing member 5 is located on the sliding module 3, and the cover plate 6 is located inside the column 2. The structure of each component and their interconnections will be described in detail below. Some of the accompanying drawings show a gravitational direction G.

[0046] The base 1 is generally a square plate, which can be stably placed directly on the work surface 3000 (e.g., a tabletop). The column 2 is generally a flat rectangular body, which extends substantially along the direction of gravity G and is set on the base 1 perpendicular to the work surface 3000, but is not limited thereto, and can also be set on the base 1 at a slight inclination to the work surface 3000.

[0047] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 The column 2 includes a front shell plate 21, a rear shell plate 22, two elongated openings 23, two fixing plates 24, two gap spaces 25, and two stops 26. For clarity, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rear shell panel 22 and the fixing plate 24 are omitted from the drawing. The front shell panel 21 has a central plate 211, two stepped portions 212, a seat block 213, and a fixing block 214. The central plate 211 is generally rectangular. The stepped portions 212 are formed on the central plate 211 and are respectively adjacent to the left and right sides of the central plate 211. The seat block 213 extends outward from the central plate 211 and is adjacent to the top edge of the central plate 211. The fixing block 214 is formed on the central plate 211 and is away from the top edge of the central plate 211, and is spaced apart from the seat block 213. The rear shell panel 22 is generally rectangular and has a triangular cross-section, and can be matched and joined with the front shell panel 21. The elongated openings 23 are formed alternately on the central plate 211 of the front shell panel 21, and extend generally along the direction of gravity G, and are located between the stepped portions 212.

[0048] The fixing plate 24 has a fixing section 241, a bending section 242, and a limiting section 243. The fixing section 241 is fixed (via screws) to the stepped portion 212 of the front shell plate 21. One end of the bending section 242 is connected to the fixing section 241, and the limiting section 243 is connected to the other end of the bending section 242, so that the fixing section 241, the bending section 242, and the limiting section 243 together have an S-shaped cross-section. The limiting section 243 is spaced apart from the central plate 211 of the front shell plate 21, and together with the central plate 211 of the front shell plate 21 and the stepped portion 212, it surrounds and defines the gap space 25.

[0049] In this embodiment, the height of the stepped portion 212 on the central plate 211 and the degree to which the bent section 242 bends away from the central plate 211 determine the size of the gap between the limiting section 243 and the central plate 211 (that is, the size of the gap space 25). In other embodiments, the front shell plate 21 may not have the stepped portion 212, and the size of the gap between the limiting section 243 and the central plate 211 may be determined solely by the bent section 242, and vice versa.

[0050] The stops 26 are fixed (via screws) to the central plate 211 of the front shell plate 21 at intervals, and are respectively adjacent to one end of the elongated opening 23, and located between one end of the elongated opening 23 and the top edge of the central plate 211.

[0051] In this embodiment, the front shell plate 21 and the rear shell plate 22 are made of plastic, while the fixing plate 24 is made of metal.

[0052] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sliding module 3 can move up and down relative to the column 2 along the direction of gravity G, and includes a trolley plate 31, two self-lubricating blocks 32, and a friction block 33. The trolley plate 31 has a body 311, two wing plates 312, two extension plates 313, and a ring bar 314. The body 311 is a U-shaped plate. The wing plates 312 extend outward from opposite sides of the body 311 and correspond to the elongated opening 23. The extension plates 313 extend outward from the wing plates 312 and are respectively disposed in the gap space 25. The ring bar 314 is also a U-shaped plate and is fixed to the back of the body 311.

[0053] The self-lubricating blocks 32 are respectively sleeved on the edges of the extension plates 313 and slidably disposed in the gap spaces 25, and are limited by the central plate 211, the stepped portion 212, and the limiting section 243 of the fixing plate 24. Each self-lubricating block 32 has a U-shaped blind groove 321 and multiple surface ribs 322. The U-shaped blind groove 321 is for the extension plates 313 to be inserted. The surface ribs 322 respectively contact the central plate 211, the stepped portion 212, and the limiting section 243 of the fixing plate 24. The friction block 33 has two snap-fit ​​pieces 331 and two surface ribs 332. The snap-fit ​​pieces 331 snap onto the front side of the body 311, so that the friction block 33 is located between the body 311 and the central plate 211 of the front shell plate 21, and the surface ribs 332 contact the central plate 211 of the front shell plate 21. When the sliding module 3 moves up and down relative to the column 2 along the direction of gravity G, the self-lubricating block 32 rubs against the central plate 211, the stepped portion 212, and the fixed plate 24, and the friction block 33 rubs against the central plate 211. In this embodiment, the self-lubricating block 32 and the friction block 33 are made of polyoxymethylene (POM).

[0054] The elastic module 4 includes a base 41 and two constant-force springs 42. The base 41 is fixed (via screws) to the base block 213. The constant-force springs 42 provide a constant elastic force and each has a connected cylindrical portion 421 and a movable end 422. The cylindrical portion 421 is housed in the base 41. The movable end 422 is fixed to opposite sides of the ring plate 314 of the trolley plate 31. When the movable end 422 is pulled to extend the cylindrical portion 421, the cylindrical portion 421 can be limited by the stop 26, that is, the stop 26 can prevent the cylindrical portion 421 from over-extending and causing arching or spreading.

[0055] The support member 5 includes a support plate 51 and a protruding neck 52. The support plate 51 is used to support the display 2000. The protruding neck 52 has a neck body 521 and two blocks 522. One end of the neck body 521 is connected to the back of the support plate 51, and the blocks 522 are connected to the other end of the neck body 521 at intervals, and are respectively passed through the elongated opening 23 and fixed to the wing plate 312 of the trolley plate 31 (via screws), thereby clamping the central plate 211 between the support plate 51 and the trolley plate 31.

[0056] The cover plate 6 is roughly a long strip, with its opposite ends fixed to the seat block 213 and the fixing block 214 of the front shell plate 21, respectively. This positions the trolley plate 31 between the central plate 211 of the front shell plate 21 and the cover plate 6, with the trolley plate 31 and the cover plate 6 spaced apart. In this embodiment, the cover plate 6 is made of metal. When the user applies force to press the front shell plate 21 and the rear shell plate 22, the hardness of the cover plate 6 will prevent pressure on the sliding module 3, thus avoiding deformation of the front shell plate 21 and the rear shell plate 22 that could prevent the sliding module 3 from sliding.

[0057] The support device 1000 of this application enables the sliding module 3, the carrier 5, and the display 2000 to move up and down relative to the column 2 along the direction of gravity G by applying an external force. The constant force spring 42 constantly provides an elastic force opposite to the direction of gravity G. When the external force is removed, the weight of the display 2000, the elastic force provided by the elastic module 4, and the friction force generated by the self-lubricating block 32 and the friction block 33 will achieve torque balance, allowing the display 2000 to stop at any position.

[0058] In summary, the support device of this application defines a gap space by means of a central plate, the stepped portion and the fixed plate. This gap space allows the sliding module to slide in without the need for a slide rail. Furthermore, the front shell plate, the fixed plate and the rear shell plate can be made of different materials, avoiding the existing technology of integral molding by aluminum extrusion, which can effectively reduce the thickness and cost.
