Abstract

A display apparatus includes a first display and a second display. The first display includes a first display body having a first side, a positioning recess located at the first side, and an engagement recess located in the positioning recess. The second display is detachably mounted at one side of the first display body, includes a second display body, a positioning protrusion, and a pendulum hook, and has a second side. The positioning protrusion is connected to the second side and has a cavity configured to accommodate the pendulum hook pivotally connected to the positioning protrusion and including an engagement protrusion. The positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning recess. The second side contacts the first side. The engagement protrusion is configured to move out of the cavity and be engaged with the engagement recess or move away from the engagement recess and move back to the cavity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display apparatus, comprising:
a first display, comprising a first display body, the first display body having a positioning recess and an engagement recess located in the positioning recess; and a second display, detachably mounted at one side of the first display body, wherein the second display comprises a second display body, a positioning protrusion, and a pendulum hook, and the positioning protrusion protrudes from the second display body, wherein the pendulum hook is pivotally connected to the positioning protrusion, and the pendulum hook has an engagement protrusion, wherein the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning recess, and the second display body contacts first display body, wherein the engagement protrusion of the pendulum hook is configured to rotate with respect to the positioning protrusion and thus being engaged with the engagement recess or move away from the engagement recess.

2 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first display body further comprises a first display surface connected to the first side, the positioning recess has a first inner wall surface close to the first display surface and a second inner wall surface away from the first display surface, and the engagement recess is located on the second inner wall surface.

3 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second display body further comprises a second display surface connected to the second side, and the positioning protrusion has a cavity configured to accommodate the pendulum hook and an opening communicating with the cavity, the opening faces away from the second display surface, and the engagement protrusion of the pendulum hook moves out of the cavity or moves back to the cavity through the opening.

4 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pendulum hook further comprises a pivoting portion pivotally connected to the positioning protrusion and a counterweight portion connected to the engagement protrusion, and the pivoting portion is away from the engagement protrusion and the counterweight portion.

5 . The display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the pendulum hook further comprises a position limiting portion, the position limiting portion is connected to the counterweight portion, the engagement protrusion and the counterweight portion are located between the pivoting portion and the position limiting portion, the positioning protrusion has a cavity configured to accommodate the pendulum hook and an opening communicating with the cavity and a stopping portion close to the opening, and the position limiting portion is located in the cavity and abuts against or is separated from the stopping portion.

6 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first display further comprises a first connector, and the first connector and the positioning recess are disposed at a same side of the first display body, the second display further comprises a second connector disposed, and the second connector and the positioning protrusion are disposed at a same side of the second display body, wherein the second connector is connected to the first connector.

7 . The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein a number of the positioning recess is two, and the first connector is located between the two positioning recesses.

8 . The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein a number of the positioning protrusion is two, and the second connector is located between the two positioning protrusions.

9 . The display apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein a number of the pendulum hook is two, and one of the pendulum hooks and one of the positioning protrusions are arranged into a group.

10 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first display further comprises a first magnet, and the first magnet and the positioning recess are disposed at a same side of the first display body, the second display further comprises a second magnet, and the second magnet and the positioning protrusion are disposed at a same side of the second display body, wherein the second display body contacts the first display body, and the second magnet is magnetically attracted to the first magnet.
