Abstract

A display device includes a first display and a second display. The first display includes a first body and a first magnet disposed in the first body. The first body has a first side and a slot located at the first side. The first magnet is disposed corresponding to the slot, and the first magnet is adjacent to the first side. The second display is detachably mounted to the first display. The second display includes a second body and a magnetic hook. The second body has a second side and a recess located at the second side, and the magnetic hook is movably disposed in recess. The first side of the first body abuts against the second side of the second body, and the slot is aligned to the recess. The magnetic hook is driven by a magnetic force of the first magnet to be engaged with the slot.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device, comprising:
a first display, comprising a first body and a first magnet disposed in the first body, wherein the first body has a first side and a slot located at the first side, the first magnet is disposed corresponding to the slot, and the first magnet is adjacent to the first side; and
a second display, detachably mounted to the first display, the second display comprising a second body and a magnetic hook, wherein the second body has a second side and a recess located at the second side, and the magnetic hook is movably disposed in the recess,
wherein the first side of the first body abuts against the second side of the second body, the slot is aligned to the recess, and the magnetic hook is driven by a magnetic force of the first magnet to be engaged with the slot,
the magnetic hook is slidably disposed in the recess and comprises a sliding part, a hooking part connected to the sliding part and a second magnet engaged with the sliding part, wherein the sliding part is slidably disposed in the recess, and the hooking part is located outside the recess, a magnetic attraction force is generated by the first magnet and the second magnet.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second display further comprises a spring disposed in the recess, and two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the sliding part and an inner wall surface of the recess.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first display further comprises a first positioning magnet disposed in the first body and adjacent to the first side, the second display further comprises a second positioning magnet disposed in the second body and adjacent to the second side, the first side of the first body abuts against the second side of the second body, and the first positioning magnet is aligned to the second positioning magnet to generate a magnetic attraction force.

4. A display device, comprising:
a first display, comprising a first body and a first magnet disposed in the first body, wherein the first body has a first side and a slot located at the first side, the first magnet is disposed corresponding to the slot, and the first magnet is adjacent to the first side; and
a second display, detachably mounted to the first display, the second display comprising a second body and a magnetic hook, wherein the second body has a second side and a recess located at the second side, and the magnetic hook is movably disposed in the recess,
wherein the first side of the first body abuts against the second side of the second body, the slot is aligned to the recess, and the magnetic hook is driven by a magnetic force of the first magnet to be engaged with the slot,
the magnetic hook is rotatably disposed in the recess and comprises a pivoting part, a hooking part connected to the pivoting part and a second magnet engaged with the pivoting part, wherein the pivoting part is pivoted to the recess, and the hooking part is moved out of or back to the recess in response to rotation of the pivoting part, a magnetic repulsive force is generated by the first magnet and the second magnet.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the second display further comprises a magnetic member disposed in the recess, the second magnet generates a magnetic attraction force to the magnetic member, and the magnetic repulsive force generated by the first magnet and the second magnet is greater than the magnetic attraction force generated by the second magnet to the magnetic member.

6. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the first display further comprises a first positioning magnet disposed in the first body and adjacent to the first side, the second display further comprises a second positioning magnet disposed in the second body and adjacent to the second side, the first side of the first body abuts against the second side of the second body, and the first positioning magnet is aligned to the second positioning magnet to generate a magnetic attraction force.
