Abstract:
1. A support stand for a flat-panel display monitor, comprising: a base member comprising a base portion, a main portion positioned on the base portion, and a mounting portion formed at an end of the main portion, wherein the main portion defines a pivot hole, the support bracket comprises two first extending walls formed at opposites sides of a first end, each first extending wall defines a pivot hole; the support stand further comprises a connecting module; the connecting module engages in the pivot holes of the first extending walls and the pivot hole of the main portion so that the support bracket is rotatably connected to the base member; a support mechanism comprising a support bracket and a resilient member, wherein the support bracket defines two sliding grooves at opposite sides; two link shafts; and an adjustable mechanism configured for holding the flat-panel display monitor; wherein, a first end of the support bracket and a first end of each shaft are rotatably connected to the base member; a second end of the support bracket and a second end of each link shaft are rotatably connected to the adjustable mechanism; the resilient member is configured to create an elastic force between the support mechanism and the link shafts so that a distance between the support mechanism and the link shafts tends to decrease; the support mechanism further comprises an adjusting screw, a latching member defining a threaded hole, a pressing member, a block member, a rolling member, and a shaft; the latching member is fixed to the first end of the support bracket; the adjusting screw is screwed in the threaded hole to abut the pressing member; the resilient member is positioned between the pressing member and the block member; the block member is fixed to the support bracket adjacent to the second end, and comprises a base wall and two side walls extending from opposite sides of the base wall, each side wall defines a pivot hole; the rolling member is positioned between the side walls of the block member and rotatably connected to the block member, the shaft is passed through a first of the sliding grooves of the support bracket, the pivot hole of a first of the side walls of the block member, the rolling member, the pivot hole of a second of the side walls of the block member, and a second of the sliding grooves of the support bracket.
