Abstract

A carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure includes at least one elastic constraint structure, each of which is disposed in a predetermined position in an embracing space of the carrier frame. When a put-in module is put into the embracing space, the elastic constraint structure can be compressed and thereby deformed to produce a corresponding elastic force acting against the put-in module so as to restrict the motion of the put-in module within the embracing space. By providing the elastic constraint structure to the carrier frame, the put-in module can then be secured stably inside the embracing space.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
         1 . A carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure, comprising at least one flange which forms an inner embracing space for receiving a put-in module, said flange further having an inner edge wall which faces said embracing space, characterized in that:said carrier frame further comprises at least one elastic constraint structure, each of which is disposed in a predetermined corresponding position abutting against said inner edge wall of said flange within said embracing space; when said put-in module is put into said embracing space, said elastic constraint structure is compressed and thereby deformed to produce a corresponding elastic force against said put-in module so as to restrict the motion of said put-in module within said embracing space.  
     
     
         2 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 1 , wherein said elastic constraint structure includes an elastomer and a lean-against top end, where one end of said elastomer is mounted on said inner edge wall and the other end of said elastomer extends toward said embracing space and connects with said lean-against top end for further contacting with said put-in module.  
     
     
         3 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 2 , wherein said elastomer is a spring.  
     
     
         4 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 2 , wherein said elastomer is a rubber.  
     
     
         5 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 2 , wherein said elastomer is a sponge structure.  
     
     
         6 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 2 , wherein said lean-against top end further includes a guide sliding surface for leadingsaid put-in module to be set in said embracing space.  
     
     
         7 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 1 , wherein said elastic constraint structure is an elastic column, which is disposed in parallel with said inner edge wall and further includes a guide sliding surface opposite to said inner edge wall so as to lead said put-in module to be set in said embracing space, and which provides an elastic force through sideward bending resulted from the compression applied by said put-in module while set inside said embracing space.  
     
     
         8 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 1 , wherein said elastic constraint structure is a bridge structure, which is mounted on said inner edge wall and provides an elastic force through deformation thereof resulted from the compression applied by said put-in module while set inside said embracing space.  
     
     
         9 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 8 , further including a jut point which protrudes from said bridge structure, posed opposite to said inner edge wall for contacting with said put-in module.  
     
     
         10 . The carrier frame having an in-frame elastic constraint structure according to  claim 1 , wherein said carrier frame is a backlight plate, and said put-in module is a liquid crystal module.
