Abstract

A device for hanging a workpiece for anodizing includes a hanging member for fixing the workpiece, a positioning assembly, a latching assembly mounted on the positioning assembly, and a connecting rod assembly. The hanging member includes a latching end. The positioning assembly and the latching assembly cooperatively defines a latching space for positioning the hanging member. The connecting rod assembly includes a cam pivoted with the latching assembly, and a rod fixed with the cam. The cam includes a resisting end. The latching end of the hanging member is latched in the latching space. The cam is rotatable by means of the rod, such that the rod is capable of driving the resisting end of the cam to resist on the latching end to fix the hanging member, or to move away from the latching end to release the hanging member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hanging device for hanging a workpiece for anodizing, comprising:
a hanging member, the hanging member comprising a latching end and a hooking end opposite to the latching end for hooking the workpiece;
a positioning assembly;
a latching assembly mounted on the positioning assembly, the positioning assembly and the latching assembly cooperatively defining a latching space for positioning the hanging member;
a connecting rod assembly comprising a cam pivoted with the latching assembly, and a rod fixed with the cam, the cam comprising a resisting end;
wherein the latching end of the hanging member is latched in the latching space; the cam is rotatable with the rod, such that the rod drives the resisting end of the cam to resist on the latching end to fix the hanging member, or to move away from the latching end to release the hanging member.

2. The hanging device of claim 1 , wherein the positioning assembly comprises a first mounting member and a latching member mounted on the first mounting member; a stopping portion is defined on the first mounting member to prevent the hanging member from disengaging from the latching space.

3. The hanging device of claim 2 , wherein the positioning assembly further comprises a stopping strip mounted on a side of the first mounting member near the stopping portion to prevent the hanging member from sliding out from the latching space from a side.

4. The hanging device of claim 2 , wherein the hanging device is hung on a fixing frame; the positioning assembly further comprises a second mounting member; the first mounting member and the second mounting member cooperatively define a receiving chamber to allow the hanging device to be latched with the fixing frame for suspending the hanging device.

5. The hanging device of claim 4 , wherein the positioning assembly further comprises a stopping member and an elastic member mounted between the first mounting member and the second mounting member; the stopping member comprises a fixing portion and a flange portion form at an end of the fixing portion; the flange portion resists on an end of the elastic member; the first mounting member defines a stepped through hole, and the stepped through hole defines a stepped surface; the other end of the elastic member resists on the stepped surface; the latching assembly comprises a supporting member and a fastener; the fastener fixes the supporting member with the fixing portion through the stepped through hole.

6. The hanging device of claim 5 , wherein the supporting member comprising a main body, a first protruding portion, and a second protruding portion; the first protruding portion protrudes from one end of the main body, and the second protruding portion protrudes from the other end of the main body corresponding to the stepped through hole; the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion are resisted on the first mounting member; the second protruding portion is fixed with the fixing portion.

7. The hanging device of claim 6 , wherein the first protruding portion defines a convex end; the first mounting member defines a valley portion corresponding to the convex end; the valley portion resists on the convex end.

8. The hanging device of claim 7 , wherein the latching assembly further comprises a pivoting component; the supporting member further comprises an extending portion extending at an end of the main body away from the first protruding portion; the cam defines a pivoting hole; the pivoting component pivots the cam with the extending portion through the pivoting hole; a distance between the pivoting hole and the resisting end is longer than a distance between the pivoting hole and the latching portion.

9. A hanging device for hanging a workpiece for anodizing, comprising:
a hanging member, the hanging member comprising a latching end and a hooking end opposite to the latching end for hooking the workpiece;
a positioning assembly defining a stopping portion for positioning the hanging member;
a latching assembly mounted on the positioning assembly;
a connecting rod assembly comprising a cam pivoted with the latching assembly, and a rod fixed with the cam, the cam comprising a resisting end;
wherein the latching end of the hanging member is positioned on the stopping portion; the cam is rotatable with the movable of the rod, such that the rod is capable of driving the resisting end of the cam to resist on the latching end to fix the hanging member, or to move away from the latching end to release the hanging member.

10. The hanging device of claim 9 , wherein the positioning assembly comprises a first mounting member and a latching member mounted on the first mounting member; the first mounting member and the latching member cooperatively define a latching space; the latching end is latched in the latching space; a stopping portion is defined on the first mounting member to prevent the hanging member from disengaging from the latching space.

11. The hanging device of claim 10 , wherein the positioning assembly further comprises a stopping strip mounted on a side of the first mounting member near the stopping portion to prevent the hanging member from sliding out from the latching space from a side.

12. The hanging device of claim 10 , wherein the hanging device is hung on a fixing frame; the positioning assembly further comprises a second mounting member; the first mounting member and the second mounting member cooperatively define a receiving chamber to allow the hanging device to be latched with the fixing frame for suspending the hanging device.

13. The hanging device of claim 12 , wherein the positioning assembly further comprises a stopping member and an elastic member mounted between the first mounting member and the second mounting member; the stopping member comprises a fixing portion and a flange portion form at an end of the fixing portion; the flange portion resists on an end of the elastic member; the first mounting member defines a stepped through hole, and the stepped through hole defines a stepped surface; the other end of the elastic member resists on the stepped surface; the latching assembly comprises a supporting member and a fastener; the fastener fixes the supporting member with the fixing portion through the stepped through hole.

14. The hanging device of claim 13 , wherein the supporting member comprising a main body, a first protruding portion, and a second protruding portion; the first protruding portion protrudes from one end of the main body, and the second protruding portion protrudes from the other end of the main body corresponding to the stepped through hole; the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion are resisted on the first mounting member; the second protruding portion is fixed with the fixing portion.

15. The hanging device of claim 14 , wherein the first protruding portion defines a convex end; the first mounting member defines a valley portion corresponding to the convex end; the valley portion resists on the convex end.

16. The hanging device of claim 15 , wherein the latching assembly further comprises a pivoting component; the supporting member further comprises an extending portion extending at an end of the main body away from the first protruding portion; the cam defines a pivoting hole; the pivoting component pivots the cam with the extending portion through the pivoting hole; a distance between the pivoting hole and the resisting end is longer than a distance between the pivoting hole and the latching portion.
