Patent ID: 7861998

Claim:
An adjustable supporting device adapted for supporting a display panel on a supporting surface, said supporting device comprising: a supporting seat adapted to be mounted on the supporting surface; a coupling seat connected pivotally to said coupling seat is rotatable relative to said supporting seat about a first axis; a mounting frame adapted to be coupled to the display panel and connected pivotally to said coupling seat so that said mounting frame is rotatable relative to said coupling seat about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; a torsion spring having a first end engaging said mounting frame, and a second end opposite to said first end and engaging movably said coupling seat, said torsion spring being operable to provide a torsional force adapted for supporting an assembly of said mounting frame and the display panel at a desired orientation relative to said coupling seat; and an adjusting member disposed movably in said coupling seat and abutting against said second end of said torsion spring, said adjusting member being operable so as to adjust the torsional force provided by said torsion spring, wherein: said supporting seat includes a base member adapted to be mounted on the supporting surface, and a supporting member having a first end portion connected pivotally to said base member so that said supporting member is rotatable relative to said base member about a third axis parallel to the first axis, and a second end portion opposite to said first end portion; and said coupling seat is connected pivotally to said second end portion of said supporting member of said supporting seat.
