Abstract

A securing base includes a base seat unit and a clamp unit. The base seat unit includes a base seat formed with a receiving groove, and a securing plate secured to the base seat. The clamp unit includes a clamp member and a bolt member. The clamp member has an engaging segment disposed within the receiving groove, and a clamp segment disposed outside of the base seat unit. The bolt member extends drivingly through the engaging segment and extends rotatably into the securing plate. Rotation of the bolt member drives the clamp member to move along the bolt member, thereby moving the clamp segment to be distal from or proximate to the securing plate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A securing base comprising:
a base seat unit including
a base seat that is adapted for supporting a display suspending apparatus thereon, that has an internal securing wall, and that is formed with a receiving groove, said receiving groove having an opening, extending along an axis, and terminating at said internal securing wall, and
a securing plate that is secured to said base seat and that is disposed at said opening of said receiving groove; and

a clamp unit including
a clamp member that has
an engaging segment disposed within said receiving groove and formed with a threaded hole,
a clamp segment disposed outside of said base seat unit, and
a connecting segment interconnecting said engaging segment and said clamp segment, and

a bolt member that extends along the axis, that engages drivingly said threaded hole of said engaging segment of said clamp member, and that has
a head portion rotatably secured to said internal securing wall of said base seat, and
an end portion extending rotatably into said securing plate;

wherein rotation of said bolt member drives said clamp member to move along said bolt member between a first position, where said engaging segment of said clamp member abuts against said securing plate of said base seat unit, and where said clamp segment of said clamp member is distal from said securing plate, and a second position, where said engaging segment of said clamp member is away from said securing plate of said base seat unit, and where said clamp segment of said clamp member is proximate to said securing plate;
wherein said base seat further has a groove-defining surface that defines said receiving groove, said internal securing wall of said base seat having an end surface that faces said securing plate, that serves as a portion of said groove-defining surface, and that is formed with a retaining hole;
wherein said securing plate is formed with an insert hole;
wherein said groove-defining surface of said base seat has an inclined surface section that is inclined relative to the axis;
wherein each of said retaining hole of said base seat and said insert hole of said securing plate is an elongated hole extending in a direction away from said inclined surface section of said groove-defining surface; and
wherein said engaging segment and said connecting segment of said clamp member cooperatively define an obtuse angle therebetween such that, during the movement of said clamp member from the first position toward the second position, said connecting segment is guided by said inclined surface section to move toward said securing plate.

2. The securing base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
said head portion of said bolt member rotatably engages said retaining hole; and
said end portion of said bolt member is rotatably retained in said insert hole.

3. The securing base as claimed in claim 2 , wherein:
said base seat is further formed with a securing groove that is adapted for insertion of the display suspending apparatus, said receiving groove and said securing groove being disposed respectively at opposite sides of said internal securing wall along the axis;
said retaining hole extends through said internal securing wall and is in spatial communication with said receiving groove and said securing groove; and
said head portion of said bolt member protrudes outwardly of said retaining hole.

4. The securing base as claimed in claim 2 , wherein:
said bolt member further has
a flange portion that is disposed in said receiving groove and that abuts against said internal securing wall of said base seat, and
a threaded portion that interconnects said flange portion and said end portion;
said insert hole of said securing plate is configured in a manner that said end portion of said bolt member is loosely received in said insert hole, and that said threaded portion of said bolt member is not allowed to be inserted into said insert hole.

5. The securing base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
said base seat unit further includes an abutment seat that is connected to said base seat and that is adjacent to said opening of said receiving groove; and
said securing plate is secured to said abutment seat.

6. The securing base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the obtuse angle ranging from 92 degrees to 102 degrees.

7. The securing base as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the obtuse angle ranges from 95 degrees to 99 degrees.

8. The securing base as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said clamp segment and said connecting segment of said clamp member cooperatively define an acute angle therebetween, the acute angle ranging from 76 degrees to 86 degrees.

9. The securing base as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the acute angle ranges from 79 degrees to 83 degrees.
