Abstract

An exemplary display device includes a rear housing, a front frame, a display module, a connecting assembly pivotally connecting the front frame to the rear housing, a latching member, a slidable key, and a clamping member. The clamping member forms a latching block latched to the latching member for securing the front frame to the rear housing. The display module can be detached from the front frame and the rear housing by operating the slidable key. Correspondingly, the latching of the latching block and the latching member can be released.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A display device, comprising:

         2 . The display device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the latching member defines a latching hole, the latching block latched in the latching hole. 
     
     
         3 . The display device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the slidable key comprises a locking portion, the clamping member further comprises a base member and a locking groove defined in the base member, the locking portion passing through the locking groove and locked to the base member. 
     
     
         4 . The display device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the rear housing further comprises a sliding groove, the slidable key slidably engaging the sliding groove. 
     
     
         5 . The display device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the rear housing further comprises a securing portion, the clamping member further comprising a positioning bar and a spring, the spring coiled around the positioning bar and resisted between the clamping member and the securing portion, the latching block and the positioning bar extending from two opposite ends of the base member. 
     
     
         6 . The display device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the rear housing further comprises a protruding column, the clamping member further comprises two clamping arms, the two clamping arms extending from the same side of the base member, the protruding column slidably engaging between the clamping arms, the latching block and the clamping arms extending from two opposite ends of the base member. 
     
     
         7 . The display device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the front frame further defines a shaft hole, the rear housing defines a pivot shaft engaging in the shaft hole. 
     
     
         8 . The display device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the connecting assembly comprises a pivot connecting section, the connecting section rotatably connecting the first assembly section to the second assembly section. 
     
     
         9 . The display device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the front frame further comprises a first securing column adjacent to the shaft hole, the rear housing further comprises a second securing column adjacent to the pivot shaft, the first assembly section and the second assembly section define two through holes, respectively, the first securing column and the second securing column secured in the through holes, respectively. 
     
     
         10 . The display device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the front frame further comprises two vertical frame sections and two horizontal frame sections connecting the vertical frame sections, each of the horizontal frame sections forms a securing bar, the securing bars secure the display module, the shaft hole is defined in the securing bar, and the first securing column are formed on the securing bar. 
     
     
         11 . A display device, comprising:
 a rear housing;   a front frame rotatably connected to the front frame;   a display module detachably secured to the front frame;   a connecting assembly pivotally connecting the front frame to the rear housing;   a latching member mounted on the front frame;   a slidable key;   a clamping member securing the slidable key and slidably mounted to the rear housing, the clamping member forming a latching block corresponding to the latching member;   wherein, the display device can be transferred between a closed position and an opened position by operating the slidable key;   in a closed position where the latching block is latched to the latching member, enabling the front frame to secure with the rear housing;   in an opened position where the clamping member moves along the rear housing to release the latching of the latching block and the latching member, the front frame rotates to detach from the rear housing.   
     
     
         12 . The display device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the latching member defines a latching hole, the latching block latched in the latching hole. 
     
     
         13 . The display device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the slidable key comprises a locking portion, the clamping member further comprises a base member and a locking groove defined in the base member, the locking portion passing through the locking groove and locked to the base member. 
     
     
         14 . The display device as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the rear housing further comprises a sliding groove, the slidable key slidably engaging the sliding groove. 
     
     
         15 . The display device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the rear housing further comprises a securing portion, the clamping member further comprising a positioning bar and a spring, the spring coiled around the positioning bar and resisted between the clamping member and the securing portion, the latching block and the positioning bar extending from two opposite ends of the base member. 
     
     
         16 . The display device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the rear housing further comprises a protruding column, the clamping member further comprises two clamping arms, the two clamping arms extending from the same side of the base member, the protruding column slidably engaging between the clamping arms, the latching block and the clamping arms extending from two opposite ends of the base member. 
     
     
         17 . The display device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the front frame further defines a shaft hole, the rear housing defines a pivot shaft engaging in the shaft hole.
