Monitor Support Device

Abstract

A monitor support device includes a base, an upright rod that projects upwardly from the base, a first support arm that is pivotable about and movable along the upright rod and that is adapted for supporting a monitor thereon, and a second support arm that is pivotable about the upright rod, that is movable relative to the first support arm along the upright rod, and that is adapted for supporting another monitor thereon.

1 . A monitor support device comprising:
 a base;   an upright rod projecting upwardly from said base;   a first support arm pivotable about and movable along said upright rod, and adapted for supporting a monitor thereon; and   a second support arm pivotable about said upright rod, movable relative to said first support arm along said upright rod, and adapted for supporting another monitor thereon.   
   
   
       2 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:
 said first support arm has a first pivot portion formed at one end thereof and connected pivotally and movably to said upright rod, and a first extending portion extending horizontally from said first pivot portion; and   said second support arm has a second pivot portion formed at one end thereof and connected pivotally and movably to said upright rod, and a second extending portion extending horizontally from said second pivot portion.   
   
   
       3 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein:
 said first pivot portion of said first support arm has a first surrounding wall made of a flexible material, surrounding said upright rod, and defining a first rod hole through which said upright rod extends, said first pivot portion being provided with a first locking component movable between an unlocking position, where said first surrounding wall is permitted to move along said upright rod, and a locking position so as to constrict said first rod hole such that said first surrounding wall is secured on said upright rod; and   said second pivot portion of said second support arm has a second surrounding wall made of a flexible material, surrounding said upright rod, and defining a second rod hole through which said upright rod extends, said second pivot portion being provided with a second locking component movable between an unlocking position, where said second surrounding wall is permitted to move along said upright rod, and a locking position so as to constrict said second rod hole such that said second surrounding wall is secured on said upright rod.   
   
   
       4 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein:
 said first surrounding wall of said first pivot portion of said first support arm has a first initial section connected to said first extending portion of said first support arm, a first end section spaced slightly apart from said first initial section, and a first intermediate section interconnecting said first initial section and said first end section and defining said first rod hole;   said first locking component extends through said first initial section and said first end section, and draws said first end section toward said first initial section when moved from the unlocking position to the locking position so as to constrict said first rod hole;   said second surrounding wall of said second pivot portion of said second support arm has a second initial section connected to said second extending portion of said second support arm, a second end section spaced slightly apart from said second initial section, and a second intermediate section interconnecting said second initial section and said second end section and defining said second rod hole; and   said second locking component extends through said second initial section and said second end section, and draws said second end section toward said second initial section when moved from the unlocking position to the locking position so as to constrict said second rod hole.   
   
   
       5 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein each of said first and second locking components is a screw. 
   
   
       6 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein:
 said first surrounding wall of said first pivot portion of said first support arm has a bottom surface;   said second surrounding wall of said second pivot portion of said second support arm is disposed below said first surrounding wall, and has a top surface that confronts said bottom surface of said first surrounding wall;   one of said bottom surface of said first surrounding wall and said top surface of said second surrounding wall is formed with an engaging block protruding therefrom; and   the other one of said bottom surface of said first surrounding wall and said top surface of said second surrounding wall is formed with an engaging groove for receiving slidably said engaging block therein when said first and second pivot portions are coupled together.   
   
   
       7 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising a pair of collars, one of said collars being disposed between said first surrounding wall of said first pivot portion of said first support arm and said upright rod for enhancing friction between said first surrounding wall and said upright rod when said first locking component is at the locking position, the other one of said collars being disposed between said second surrounding wall of said second pivot portion of said second support arm and said upright rod for enhancing friction between said second surrounding wall and said upright rod when said second locking component is at the locking position. 
   
   
       8 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein:
 each of said first extending portion of said first support arm and said second extending portion of said second support arm is formed with an elongated slot that extends horizontally; and   said monitor support device further comprises a pair of monitor engaging components, each of which engages slidably said elongated slot of a respective one of said first and second extending portions.   
   
   
       9 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein each of said monitor engaging components has a sliding part extending slidably through said elongated slot of the respective one of said first extending portion of said first support arm and said second extending portion of said second support arm, and a rotatable part connected to and rotatable relative to said sliding part and adapted for mounting the monitor thereon. 
   
   
       10 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising a limiting component secured on said upright rod under said first surrounding wall of said first pivot portion of said first support arm and said second surrounding wall of said second pivot portion of said second support arm, said limiting component having a diameter larger than that of each of said first rod hole in said first support arm and said second rod hole in said second support arm. 
   
   
       11 . The monitor support device as claimed in  claim 10 , further comprising a cable organizing member coupled detachably on said upright rod under said limiting component.
