In the instant embodiment, the first secondary assembling piece 235 and the second secondary assembling piece 236 are arranged in the main frame structure 27 of the back frame 23. An end of the first secondary assembling piece 235 is joined to the first primary assembling piece 231 and another end of the first secondary assembling piece 235 is joined to the third primary assembling piece 233; and an end of the second secondary assembling piece 236 is joined to the first primary assembling piece 231 and another end of the second secondary assembling piece 236 is joined to the third primary assembling piece 233. Further, the second primary assembling piece 232, the fourth primary assembling piece 234, the first secondary assembling piece 235, and the second secondary assembling piece 236 are arranged parallel to each other. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art may arrange at least one secondary assembling piece in the main frame structure 27. For example, only the first secondary assembling piece 235 is arranged in the main frame structure 27. Further, the two ends of the first secondary assembling piece 235 can be selectively joined to at least two of the primary assembling pieces of the first primary assembling piece 231, the second primary assembling piece 232, the third primary assembling piece 233, and the fourth primary assembling piece 234. For example, the first secondary assembling piece 235 is set diagonally in the main frame structure 27, as shown in FIG. 7. Similarly, the two ends of the second secondary assembling piece 236 can be selectively joined to at least two of the primary assembling pieces of the first primary assembling piece 231, the second primary assembling piece 232, the third primary assembling piece 233, and the fourth primary assembling piece 234.

In the instant embodiment, the back frame 23 comprises seven bracing pieces 2371, 2372, 2373, 2374, 2375, 2376, and 2377. The bracing piece 2371 is fixed to the fourth primary assembling piece 234; the bracing pieces 2372, 2373 are both fixed to the first secondary assembling piece 235; the bracing piece 2374 is fixed to the second secondary assembling piece 236; the bracing piece 2375 is fixed to the second primary assembling piece 232; and the bracing pieces 2376, 2377 are each fixed, at two ends thereof, to the first secondary assembling piece 235 and the second secondary assembling piece 236. In practice, the bracing pieces can be fixed to one or more of the first primary assembling piece 231, the second primary assembling piece 232, the third primary assembling piece 233, the fourth primary assembling piece 234, the first secondary assembling piece 235, and the second secondary assembling piece 236.

Molds for making the back frame 23 will be described. In the instant embodiment, the first primary assembling piece 231 and the third primary assembling piece 233 are of the same size and shape so that they can be made by stamping with the same mold. The second primary assembling piece 232, the fourth primary assembling piece 234, the first secondary assembling piece 235, and the second secondary assembling piece 236 are of the same size and shape so that they can be made by stamping with the same mold, making it possible to share the mold. Thus, the back frame 23 of the present invention can be made by stamping with only two small-sized molds, and compared to the conventional back frame 10 that requires a large-sized mold, the molds for making the back frame 23 of the present invention are simple in structure and small in size and thus the cost of mold for the back frame 23 can be lowered. Further, compared to the whole back frame structure of the conventional back frame 10, the back frame 23 of the present invention can significantly save material used and thus reduce the manufacturing cost of the flat panel display device 20.
Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a schematic view showing joint sections of a back frame of a flat panel display device according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, in the instant embodiment, an end of the first primary assembling piece is provided with two joint sections, and the joint sections have a structure mating an end of the second primary assembling piece so that the first primary assembling piece can be joined to a corresponding end of the second primary assembling piece.
Specifically, the first primary assembling piece 231 has an end forming joint sections 2311, 2312, and the joint sections 2311, 2312 are arranged in a spaced manner in a lengthwise direction of the first primary assembling piece 231. The joint sections 2311, 2312 are formed by forming recesses having a shape mating an end of the second primary assembling piece 232 in the first primary assembling piece 231 in order to receive the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 therein. As shown in FIG. 10, the joint sections 2311, 2312 are recesses that do not extend through opposite surfaces of the end of the first primary assembling piece 231 and the recesses are of a rectangular shape with the second primary assembling piece 232 being straight linear.
To assemble a large-sized back frame 23, the joint section 2311 that is close to the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is first taken and a second primary assembling piece 232 having a corresponding width is selected. Afterwards, an end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is positioned in the recess of the joint section 2311. And then, means, such as screwing, fastening, or welding, is applied to join and fix the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 to the joint section 2311. To assemble a small-sized back frame 23, the joint section 2312 that is distant from the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is first chosen and a second primary assembling piece 232 having a corresponding width is selected. Afterwards, an end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is positioned in the recess of the joint section 2312. And then, means, such as screwing, fastening, or welding, is applied to join and fix the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 to the joint section 2312. Specifically, for example the second primary assembling piece 232 forms a protrusion at a corresponding location on a surface thereof, and the protrusion of the second primary assembling piece 232 is embedded in the recess the first primary assembling piece 231 at a corresponding location in order to join the first primary assembling piece 231 and the second primary assembling piece 232, as shown in FIG. 11. Further, the second primary assembling piece 232 may form, on one end thereof, at least two protrusions that are spaced in the lengthwise direction of the second primary assembling piece 232, such as two, three, or four protrusions.
Furthermore, the recess of the first primary assembling piece 231 can be a recess of a multi-stepped configuration and the second primary assembling piece 232 forms, at a corresponding location, a protrusion having a multi-stepped configuration corresponding to the recess, as shown in FIG. 12. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, taking the joint section 2311 as an example, the recess of the first primary assembling piece 231 forms, in a bottom thereof, a first through hole 2313, and the second primary assembling piece 232 forms, at a location corresponding to the joint section 2311, a second through hole 2321. The back frame 23 further comprises a fastener 240. The fastener 240 extends through the first through hole 2313 and the second through hole 2321 to joint the first primary assembling piece 231 and the second primary assembling piece 232 to each other.
As shown in FIG. 14, in another embodiment of the back frame of flat panel display device according to the present invention, the recesses of the joint sections 2311, 2312 of the first primary assembling piece 231 are of a circular shape. Yet, in other embodiments, those skilled in the art may arrange the shape of the recesses to be other polygonal configurations, such as triangle.
As shown in FIG. 15, in another embodiment of the back frame of flat panel display device according to the present invention, the joint sections 2311, 2312 are recesses that do not extend through opposite surfaces of the first primary assembling piece 231, whereby an end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is movable within the joint sections 2311, 2312. For example, after the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is set extending beyond and joined and fixed to the joint section 2312, the portion of extension is then trimmed off so that the length of the second primary assembling piece 232 that serves as a primary assembling piece of the back frame can be adjusted.
In a practical application, the other end of the first primary assembling piece 231 and both ends of the third primary assembling piece 233 are all provided with two joint sections having a structure identical to that of the joint sections 2311, 2312. The ends of the second primary assembling piece 232 and the ends of the fourth primary assembling piece 234 may be subjected to specific designs or no design at all according to the application. For example:
(1) In a first situation, as shown in FIG. 10, the two ends of the second primary assembling piece 232 and the two ends of the fourth primary assembling piece 234 are of no specific design. In other words, the ends are of the same structure as the remaining portions. Under this condition, in making a join with a selected joint section 2311 (2312) at one end of the first primary assembling piece 231 (the same applicable to the other end), if an attempt is made to change the width of the back frame 23, then the length of the corresponding second primary assembling piece 232 and fourth primary assembling piece 234 must be selected accordingly. Namely, if the joint section 2311 that is close to the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is selected for joining, then no trimming is applied to the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 or the portion that is trimmed off is short; if the joint section 2312 that is distant from the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is selected for joining, then the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 are trimmed and the trimmed portion being long or short is according to the distance that the joint section is from the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 being great or small; and
(2) In a second situation, it is similar to the first situation, but as shown in FIG. 11, the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 use different protrusions to respectively mate the first primary assembling piece 231 and the third primary assembling piece 233 in order to realize change of width of the back frame 23; similarly, if a joint section 2312 other than the first joint section 2311 that is close to the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is selected for joining, then before or after joining, excessive portions of the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 may be trimmed off.
This also applicable to a main frame structure 27 of the back frame 23 that is formed by joining two L-shaped primary assembling pieces.
In summary, the present invention provides a back frame 23 having a first primary assembling piece that is provided with at least two joint sections. The number of the joint section can be selected according to the requirement of customers. In the instant embodiment, a description is given to an example comprising two joint sections 2311, 2312. Thus, to prepare the molds for making the back frame 23, only two sets of mold are needed, namely one mold for a first primary assembling piece and the other mold for a second primary assembling piece. The first primary assembling piece may be provided with a plurality of joint sections for joining operation in order to form various sizes for the back frame 23. To assemble the back frame 23, based on the desired size of the back frame 23, the corresponding one of the joint sections is selected. With the joint section, the second primary assembling piece is joined to the joint section of the first primary assembling piece and the other joint section of the first primary assembling piece that is located outward of the joining location of the second primary assembling piece is trimmed off to obtain a desired size of the back frame 23. Compared to the conventional technology that requires different back frame molds for making different sizes of back frame 10, the back frame of the flat panel display device 23 according to the present invention requires only a mold for the first primary assembling piece and a mold for the second primary assembling piece 28 so that mold sharing among various sizes of product can be realized and the molds used are of simple structures, allowing of reduction of expenditure of the molds for back frames.
The present invention also provides a mold for making a back frame of flat panel display device.
