Abstract

A mounting device for multiple screens includes a first fixing member, a second fixing member, a third fixing member, and a linking assembly. The first fixing member and the second fixing member can pivot on opposite sides of the third fixing member. The third fixing member is fixed to a wall or other structure and the linking assembly couples the first fixing member and the second fixing member together across the third fixing member. The screens are mounted on the first, the second, and the third fixing members. When one of the first fixing member or the second fixing member is rotated, the other is rotated at the same time and to the same degree by virtue of the linking assembly across the third fixing member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mounting device for multiple screens comprising:
a first fixing member configured to have one screen mounted thereto;
a second fixing member configured to have one screen mounted thereto;
a third fixing member fixed on an object and configured to have one screen mounted thereto, opposite ends of the third fixing member pivotably coupling the first fixing member to the second fixing member;
a linking gear fixed on the third fixing member; and
a linking assembly with two opposite ends connected to the first fixing member and the second fixing member, the linking assembly defining a teeth portion engaged to the linking gear;
wherein the linking assembly is engaged with the linking gear to simultaneously drive the first fixing member and the second fixing member to rotate with respect to the third fixing member; wherein the first fixing member comprises a first supporting portion forming a first coupling portion, the second fixing member comprises a second supporting portion forming a second coupling portion, the third fixing member comprises a third supporting portion forming a third coupling portion and a fourth supporting portion forming a fourth coupling portion, the first coupling portion is pivotably coupled to the third coupling portion, the second coupling portion is pivotably coupled to the fourth coupling portion; wherein the first supporting portion comprises a first connecting pillar and two first connecting blocks fixed on the opposite ends of the first connecting pillar, the first coupling portion is located at end of the first connecting block away from the first connecting pillar.

2. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the linking assembly comprises two first segments and two second segments, the teeth portion is located on the first segment, one end of each of two second segments connects rotatably to the first segment, and the other end of each of the two second segments connects rotatably to one of the first fixing member and the second fixing member.

3. The mounting device of claim 2 , wherein a plurality of connecting sheets are fixed on the third fixing member, each of the connecting sheets defines a groove, the first segment is fixed in the groove and can slide in the groove.

4. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein a first teeth is fixed on the first fixing member, a second teeth fixed on the third fixing member engages to the first teeth.

5. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein a coupling board is coupled between the third supporting portion and the fourth supporting portion, a plank is fixed on the coupling board, the linking gear is fixed at the end of the plank.

6. The mounting device of claim 5 , wherein the first fixing member comprises a first board fixed on the first supporting portion, the second fixing member comprises a second board fixed on the second supporting portion, the screens are fixed on the first board and the second board.

7. A mounting device for multiple screens comprising:
a first fixing member;
a second fixing member;
a third fixing member fixed on an object, opposite ends of the third fixing member pivotably coupled to the first fixing member and the second fixing member;
a linking gear fixed on the third fixing member; and
a linking assembly with two opposite ends connected to the first fixing member and the second fixing member, the linking assembly defining a teeth portion engaged to the linking gear;
wherein the first fixing member, the second fixing member, and the third fixing member are configured to have the multiple screens mounted thereto; the first fixing member is rotated to drive the second fixing member to rotate with respect to the third fixing member by the linking assembly engaging to the linking gear; wherein the first fixing member comprises a first supporting portion forming a first coupling portion, the second fixing member comprises a second supporting portion forming a second coupling portion, the third fixing member comprises a third supporting portion forming a third coupling portion and a fourth supporting portion forming a fourth coupling portion, the first coupling portion is pivotably coupled to the third coupling portion, the second coupling portion is pivotably coupled to the fourth coupling portion; wherein the first supporting portion comprises a first connecting pillar and two first connecting blocks fixed on the opposite ends of the first connecting pillar, the first coupling portion is located at end of the first connecting block away from the first connecting pillar.

8. The mounting device of claim 7 , wherein the linking assembly comprises two first segments and two second segments, the teeth portion is located on the first segment, one end of each of two second segments connects rotatably to the first segment, and the other end of each of the two second segments connects rotatably to one of the first fixing member and the second fixing member.

9. The mounting device of claim 8 , wherein a plurality of connecting sheets are fixed on the third fixing member, each of the connecting sheets defines a groove, the first segment is fixed in the groove and can slide in the groove.

10. The mounting device of claim 7 , wherein first teeth is fixed on the first fixing member, second teeth fixed on the third fixing member engages to the first teeth.

11. The mounting device of claim 7 , wherein a coupling board is coupled between the third supporting portion and the fourth supporting portion, a plank is fixed on the coupling board, the linking gear is fixed at the end of the plank.

12. The mounting device of claim 11 , wherein the first fixing member comprises a first board fixed on the first supporting portion, the second fixing member comprises a second board fixed on the second supporting portion, the screens are fixed on the first board and the second board.
