Abstract

A device to handle and manage a heavy screen includes a supporting module, a connecting module, two first resilient members, and two second resilient members. The connecting module includes a mounting rod provided with a pulling rod at a middle portion, and two pivot rods rotatably installed on one end far away from the mounting rod of the pulling rod. Each first resilient member is connected to an end of the top plate, and each second resilient member is connected to an end of the bottom plate and one end of a pivot rod. The two first resilient members are stretched when screen is pulled down, and each pivot rod rotates relative to the pulling rod to pull the two second resilient members when screen is lifted. The screen is effectively weightless, enabling static positioning of the screen.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A labor saving device, comprising:
a supporting module, comprising:
a top plate; and
a bottom plate parallel to the top plate, the bottom plate having two stopper columns;

a connecting module, comprising:
a mounting rod provided with a pulling rod at a middle portion; and
two pivot rods rotatably installed on one end away from the mounting rod of the pulling rod;

two first resilient members; and
two second resilient members;

wherein two ends of each first resilient member are respectively connected to the top plate and the mounting rod to connect the supporting module with the connecting module, two ends of each second resilient member are connected to the bottom plate and the pivot rod; the connecting module is pulled vertically downwardly to pull the two first resilient members, the pulling rod pulls the two pivot rods downwardly, the two stopper columns abut against the two pivot rods, and each pivot rod rotates relative to the pulling rod to pull the end of each second resilient member connected to the corresponding pivot rod of the said pair of pivot rods away from the bottom plate, the two first resilient members and the two second resilient members being elastically stretched to stop the connecting module.

2. The labor saving device of claim 1 , wherein each end of the top plate is provided with a connecting rod, and one end of each first resilient member is connected to the connecting rod.

3. The labor saving device of claim 2 , wherein one end far away from the top plate of each connecting rod is provided with a fixing member, and one end of each first resilient member is connected to the fixing member.

4. The labor saving device of claim 1 , wherein each end of the mounting rod is provided with a securing member, and the other end of each first resilient member is connected to the securing member.

5. The labor saving device of claim 1 , wherein the bottom plate defines a through hole, the pulling rod is configured to be inserted into the through hole and slid relative to the through hole.

6. The labor saving device of claim 1 , wherein one end far away from the mounting rod of the pulling rod is provided with a pivot member, both sides of the pivot member are respectively provided with two pivot shafts, and the two pivot rods are rotatably installed on the pivot shaft.

7. The labor saving device of claim 6 , wherein each pivot rod comprises a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end is rotatably installed on the pivot shaft, and each second resilient member is connected to the second end.

8. The labor saving device of claim 7 , wherein the second end of each pivot rod is provided with a securing shaft, and each second resilient member is connected to the securing shaft.

9. The labor saving device of claim 1 , wherein the top plate and the bottom plate define a plurality of securing hole, a plurality of fasteners passes through the securing holes to secure the supporting module.

10. The labor saving device of claim 9 , wherein two side plates are protruding from one side of the top plate and one side of the bottom plate, the securing holes are respectively located on the side plates.

11. A labor saving device, comprising:
a supporting module, comprising:
a top plate, each end of the top plate comprising a connecting rod; and
a bottom plate parallel to the top plate, the bottom plate having two stopper columns;

a connecting module, comprising:
a mounting rod provided with a pulling rod at a middle portion; and
two pivot rods rotatably installed on one end away from the mounting rod of the pulling rod;

two first resilient members; and
two second resilient members;

wherein two ends of each first resilient member are respectively connected to the connecting rods and the mounting rod to connect the supporting module with the connecting module, two ends of each second resilient member are connected to the bottom plate and the pivot rod; the connecting module is pulled vertically downwardly to pull the two first resilient members, the pulling rod pulls the two pivot rods downwardly, the two stopper columns abut against the two pivot rods, and each pivot rod rotates relative to the pulling rod to pull the end of each second resilient member connected to the corresponding pivot rod of the said pair of pivot rods away from the bottom plate, the two first resilient members and the two second resilient members are elastically stretched to stop the connecting module.

12. The labor saving device of claim 11 , wherein one end far away from the top plate of each connecting rod is provided with a fixing member, and one end of each first resilient member is connected to the fixing member.

13. The labor saving device of claim 11 , wherein each end of the mounting rod is provided with a securing member, and the other end of each first resilient member is connected to the securing member.

14. The labor saving device of claim 11 , wherein the bottom plate defines a through hole, the pulling rod is configured to be inserted into the through hole and slid relative to the through hole.

15. The labor saving device of claim 11 , wherein one end far away from the mounting rod of the pulling rod is provided with a pivot member, both sides of the pivot member are respectively provided with two pivot shafts, and the two pivot rods are rotatably installed on the pivot shaft.

16. The labor saving device of claim 15 , wherein each pivot rod comprises a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end is rotatably installed on the pivot shaft, and each second resilient member is connected to the second end.

17. The labor saving device of claim 16 , wherein the second end of each pivot rod is provided with a securing shaft, and each second resilient member is connected to the securing shaft.

18. The labor saving device of claim 11 , wherein the top plate and the bottom plate define a plurality of securing hole, a plurality of fasteners passes through the securing holes to secure the supporting module.

19. The labor saving device of claim 18 , wherein two side plates are protruding from one side of the top plate and one side of the bottom plate, the securing holes are respectively located on the side plates.
