Rotatable Stand with Adjustable Tightness

Abstract

A rotatable stand with adjustable tightness includes a turntable, a base, at least one adjustable connecting element, and a resilient element. The turntable has a spindle, which passes through and rotates in an opening of the base. The adjustable connecting element is connected to the turntable, such that the resilient element squeezes the base between the turntable and the resilient element so as to provide a proper squeezing strength and to make it convenient for a user to alter the orientation between the rotatable stand and the base,

1 . A rotatable stand with adjustable tightness, comprising:
 a turntable having a spindle;   a base having an opening for the spindle to pass through and rotate therein;   at least one adjustable connecting element connecting to said turntable; and   a resilient element, in combination with said at least one adjustable connecting element, for providing a squeezing strength to secure said base between said turntable and said resilient element.   
   
   
       2 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said spindle is a hollow cylinder. 
   
   
       3 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base comprises an upper base and a lower base. 
   
   
       4 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said resilient element is a resilient pad. 
   
   
       5 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said resilient pad comprises:
 a plate portion; and   a plurality of supporting legs, extended from said plate portion and forming an angle with said plate portion.   
   
   
       6 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said plate portion comprises at least one through hole. 
   
   
       7 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said spindle comprises at least one screw hole. 
   
   
       8 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said adjustable connecting element is a screw passing through said through hole to screw into said screw hole. 
   
   
       9 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a spacing pad located between said base and said resilient element to make the squeezing strength provided by said resilient element uniformly distributed over said base. 
   
   
       10 . The rotatable stand as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein at least one arc-shaped notch is formed inside said base to limit a maximum rotation angle reachable by said turntable. 
   
   
       11 . An electronic device with a tightness adjustable rotatable stand, comprising:
 a turntable having a spindle;   a display panel mounted on and connected pivotally to said turntable;   a base comprising an opening for the spindle to pass through and rotate therein such that said display panel and said turntable are collectively allowed to be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise with respect to said base;   at least one adjustable connecting element connecting to said turntable; and   a resilient element for providing a squeezing strength in combination with said at least one adjustable connecting element to secure said base between said turntable and said resilient element.   
   
   
       12 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 11 , further comprising a telephone handset connecting to said base. 
   
   
       13 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of telephone buttons located on said turntable. 
   
   
       14 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said base comprises an upper base and a lower base. 
   
   
       15 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said resilient element is a resilient pad. 
   
   
       16 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein said resilient pad comprises:
 a plate portion; and   a plurality of supporting legs, extended from said plate portion and forming an angle with said plate portion.   
   
   
       17 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein said plate portion comprises at least one through hole. 
   
   
       18 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein said spindle comprises at least one screw hole. 
   
   
       19 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein said adjustable connecting element is a screw passing through said through hole to screw into said screw hole. 
   
   
       20 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 11 , further comprising a spacing pad located between said base and said resilient element to make the squeezing strength provided by said resilient element uniformly distributed over said base. 
   
   
       21 . The electronic device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein at least one arc-shaped notch is formed inside said base to limit a maximum rotation angle reachable by said turntable.
