Specification

Description:Field of the invention:

[0001] The present invention relates to an assembly for position adjustment. More specifically, the present invention relates to an assembly for adjusting position of an article placed thereon.

Background of the invention:

[0002] Position adjustment assemblies have wider applications in consumer products, ware house operations, screen position adjustment products, hospitals (patient) beds and the like. A Position adjustment assembly generally includes a set of links adapted to move in different types of motions such as rotations, sliding, tilting, twisting and the like for adjusting position of an article placed thereon. The article can be screens, kiosks, beds, industrial appliances, warehouse materials or any such article.

[0003] Specific position adjustment assemblies are required for a specific purpose positional adjustment. For example, a television is mounted to a wall mount position adjustment assembly. The wall mount position adjustment assembly enables, tilting of the television within 180 degrees in two direction and in two planes of tilting. Similarly, a specific purpose position adjustment assembly is used for a specific need of required motions (movements).

[0004] Position adjustment assemblies are also used in industrial operations. More specifically, in wire harness manufacturing, wiring harness production mounting devices having screen are used in assembling a wire harness. US2016064121A1 and CN210452634U provides details of such wiring harness production mounting devices. Generally, the wiring harness production mounting device includes a screen on which suction cups are attached. The suction cups have terminals to connect to a wire to make a wire harness. But presently, these screens are attached to a stand or to a position assembly, which is having only tilting movements.

[0005] But, when an operator who is using the wiring harness production mounting device requires height adjustment of the screen with reference to a reference for conveniently making the wire harness assemblies, there is no option available for the same. Existing position adjustment assemblies are not providing height adjustment after tilting of the screen. More specifically, the operator requires translatory movements (which is generally referred in as height adjustment) in a tilted position of the screen for conveniently making the wire harness assemblies.

[0006] CN206767540U provides a Position adjustable 6 -degree of freedom lift platform. The platform includes a tilting assembly. But the platform is not having a provision of height adjustment (or any such mechanisms) after tilting.

[0007] EP0136986A1 provides a Lifting table. The table includes a position adjustment mechanism that provides tilting of a table (4) with tilting movements and height adjusting (by tilting at one side) provision. But the position adjustment mechanism includes constructive elements such as two pairs of scissor arms (1, 2; 1', 2'), arm rollers or wheels (9, 10) for obtaining tilting and height adjustment movements. Also, as the table (4) is placed on rollers wheels (9, 10), there can be probability of the table (4) falling from the position adjustment mechanism when tilted with 90 degrees from a horizontal plane. Also, the table fails to provide translatory movements (which is generally referred in as height adjustment) in a tilted position of the table.

[0008] WO2013171502A1 provides a Visual Display Unit Mount. A bracket (6) of the mount can be tiltable. The bracket is connected to an arm (4) of the mount which is connected to a column (3) of the mount. The column (3) moves relative to a base (2) of the mount for adjusting height of the bracket (6). Therefore, the mount fails to provide translatory movements (which is generally referred in as height adjustment) in a tilted position of the screen.

[0009] AU2018277030A1 describes an apparatus for supporting and/or positioning a patient before, during, or after a medical procedure. The apparatus provides tilting mechanism and height adjustment mechanism. The tilting mechanism includes a rotary pair links adapted to rotate nearly 360 degrees. Extending cylinders of the apparatus is specifically used for height adjustment provisions only but not for the tilting operations. Therefore, the apparatus fails to provide translatory movements (which is generally referred in as height adjustment) in a tilted position of a bed.

[0010] Hence, there is a need for an assembly, which overcomes the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and also an assembly which is specifically adapted to provide translatory (sliding) movements (which is generally referred in as height adjustment) in a tilted position of an article kept thereon (on the assembly).

Objects of the invention

[0011] An object of the present invention is to provide an assembly for adjusting position of an article placed thereon.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide an assembly for adjusting position of an article placed thereon; more specifically, the assembly provides translatory movements (which is generally referred in as height adjustment) in a tilted position of the article kept thereon.

[0013] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an assembly for adjusting position of an article placed thereon, the assembly is simple in construction.
[0014] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an assembly for adjusting position of a wiring harness production mounting device placed thereon, the assembly provides provision of tilting and translatory movements (which is generally referred in as height adjustment) in a tilted position of the wiring harness production mounting device kept thereon, thereby enhancing convenience of an operator making the wire harness assemblies using the wiring harness production mounting device.
