Abstract

Disclosed is a supporting stand for a display device, which includes: a base; a frame body connected to the base for holding the display device and rotatable with respect to the base; an electrical function unit disposed within the base; and an electrical connection unit extending through the interior of the frame body to provide an electrical connection between the display device and the electrical function unit. The electrical connection unit includes a main cable that has a reserve section with a cable length larger than the corresponding minimal pathway distance. Accordingly, when the frame body rotates, the main cable can adjust itself to the rotation of the frame body by cable twisting at the reserve section.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A supporting stand for a display device, comprising:
a base;
a frame body, connected to the base and used for mounting the display device thereon and rotatable with respect to the base, wherein (i) the frame body has a receiving trough formed within an interior thereof to define a shortest pathway between the base and a predetermined location for mounting the display device, (ii) the frame body includes an upright and a holding unit, (iii) the upright is connected to the base, and (iv) the holding unit is connected to the upright and capable of sliding upward and downward in a channel of the upright;
an electrical function unit, disposed within the base; and
an electrical connection unit, extending through the receiving trough to provide an electrical connection between the display device and the electrical function unit, wherein (i) the electrical connection unit includes a main cable, (ii) the main cable is electrically connected to the electrical function unit and has a reserve section longitudinally extending to the base and a free section corresponding to the channel of the upright, (iii) the reserve section has a cable length larger than a minimal pathway distance corresponding to the reserve section, (iv) the reserve section of the main cable is in a relaxed state when the frame body is not pivoted to a pivot angle and twists adapted to pivot motion of the frame body, and (v) the free section is forced into bending to be adapted to sliding motion of the holding unit.

2. The supporting stand of claim 1 , wherein the difference between the cable length of the reserved section and the corresponding minimal pathway distance is determined by rotatable angle of the frame body.

3. The supporting stand of claim 1 , further comprising a first organizer and a second organizer, wherein the reserve section of the main cable longitudinally extends through the first organizer and the second organizer in sequence in a direction toward the base, and the main cable is bent by the second organizer at the base and has an lateral extension section that laterally extends to and is electrically connected to the electrical function unit.

4. The supporting stand of claim 3 , wherein the first organizer rotates synchronously with pivot motion of the frame body, whereas the second organizer keeps stationary.

5. The supporting stand of claim 4 , wherein (i) the base comprises a fixing baseplate and a rotary plate, (ii) the rotary plate is disposed on the fixing baseplate and connected to the frame body and rotatable with respect to fixing baseplate, (iii) the first organizer is disposed at the rotary plate and rotatable with the rotary plate, and (iv) the second organizer is disposed at the fixing baseplate.

6. The supporting stand of claim 5 , wherein the first organizer and the second organizer are disc-shaped and each of them has a through opening in an elongated shape at a center thereof to permit passage of the main cable.

7. The supporting stand of claim 1 , wherein the free section has one end fastened to the holding unit and movable with the holding unit and an opposite end fastened to the upright.

8. The supporting stand of claim 7 , wherein the holding unit is provided with plural retaining rings, and the main cable extends through the retaining rings and are fastened to the holding unit by an adhesive.

9. The supporting stand of claim 1 , wherein (i) the electrical connection unit further includes a first cable and a second cable, (ii) the first cable provides an electrical connection between an anode contact of the display device and the main cable, and (iii) the second cable provides an electrical connection between a cathode contact of the display device and the main cable.

10. The supporting stand of claim 9 , wherein the shortest pathway extends from a junction between the main cable and the first cable and between the main cable and the second cable to the base.
