Electronic device hanging mechanism

Abstract

An electronic device hanging mechanism aims to hang an electronic device on a mounting rack mounted onto a wall. The hanging mechanism includes a holding dock located in the case of the electronic device and a bracing strut movably coupled on the holding dock. The bracing strut is extendable outside the holding dock at a hanging position to be hung on the mounting rack to hold the electronic device, and received in the holding dock and hidden in the case of the electronic device at a holding position to maintain the appearance of the electronic device.

1 . An hanging mechanism for hanging an electronic device on a mounting rack by installing a plurality of hanging mechanisms on the electronic device, comprising: 
 a holding dock located in a case of the electronic device; and    a bracing strut which is movably coupled on the holding dock and extendable outside the holding dock and the case at a hanging position to be hung on the mounting rack, and retractable in the holding dock and hidden in the case at a holding position.    
   
   
       2 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device has a base rack, the holding dock having a base to be fastened to the base rack.  
   
   
       3 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein the holding dock includes a hollow duct which has an axial guiding slot on a tubular wall of the hollow duct, a first positioning slot and a second positioning slot extended transversely from two ends of the guiding slot, the bracing strut being fastened to a pin which runs through the guiding slot such that the bracing strut is movable along the guiding slot.  
   
   
       4 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 3 , wherein the bracing strut is at the hanging position when the pin is moved to the first positioning slot, and the bracing strut is at the holding position when the pin is moved to the second positioning slot.  
   
   
       5 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 1  further having an elastic element interposed the internal space between the holding dock and the bracing strut for pushing the bracing strut.  
   
   
       6 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein the bracing strut has an insertion trough on an upper end surface to receive an external force to turn the bracing strut.  
   
   
       7 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein the bracing strut has a latch groove adjacent to an upper end of the bracing strut for hanging on the mounting rack.  
   
   
       8 . An hanging mechanism for hanging an electronic device on a mounting rack by installing a plurality of hanging mechanisms on the electronic device, comprising: 
 a holding dock located in a case of the electronic device;    a barrel which is coupled with the holding dock and has a guiding slot on a tubular wall of the barrel, a first positioning slot and a second positioning slot located on two ends of the guiding slot; and    a bracing strut which is movably coupled on the barrel and fastened to a pin which runs through the guiding slot, the bracing strut being movable along the guiding slot through the pin to the first positioning slot and the second positioning slot so that the bracing strut is extendable outside the case at a hanging position to be hung on the mounting rack, and hidden in the case at a holding position.    
   
   
       9 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 8 , further having an elastic element interposed the internal space between the holding dock and the bracing strut for pushing the bracing strut.  
   
   
       10 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 8 , wherein the bracing strut has an insertion trough on an upper end surface to receive an external force to turn the bracing strut.  
   
   
       11 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 8 , wherein the bracing strut has a latch groove adjacent to an upper end to hang on the mounting rack.  
   
   
       12 . A hanging mechanism to be installed on an electronic device to hang the electronic device on a mounting rack by installing a plurality of hanging mechanisms on the electronic device, comprising: 
 a holding dock which is located in a case of the electronic device and has a hollow duct; and    a bracing strut which is rotatable to be engaged with the hollow duct, and extendable outside the holding dock and the case at a hanging position to be hung on the mounting rack, and received in the holding dock and hidden in the case at a holding position.    
   
   
       13 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 12 , wherein the hollow duct has internal screw threads, the bracing strut having external screw threads to engage with the internal screw threads.  
   
   
       14 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 12 , wherein the bracing strut has an insertion trough on an upper end surface to receive an external force to turn the bracing strut.  
   
   
       15 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 12 , wherein the bracing strut has a latch groove adjacent to an upper end of the bracing strut for hanging on the mounting rack.  
   
   
       16 . An hanging mechanism for hanging the electronic device on a mounting rack by installing a plurality of hanging mechanisms on the electronic device, comprising: 
 a pivot seat located in a case of the electronic device; and    a bracing strut which is pivotally coupled on the pivot seat, and extendable outside the pivot seat and the case in an upright manner at a hanging position to be hung on the mounting rack, and received in the holding dock and hidden in the case at a holding position.    
   
   
       17 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 16 , wherein the electronic device has a slot corresponding to the pivot seat for holding the bracing strut.  
   
   
       18 . The hanging mechanism of  claim 16 , wherein the bracing strut has a latch groove adjacent to an upper end of the bracing strut for hanging on the mounting rack.
