of the passengers in some positions. 4. Recessed ceiling fixing devices for LCD screen are widely used by car manufacturers. But the LCD screen can not be removed for mobile use at the same time, since it and the fixing block are anchored on the ceiling by screws in this case.
Summary of the Invention The invenrion has disclosed a portable and car-borne dual-purpose LCD
jQ screen holding device composed of a LCD screen body, a clamp, and a flexible connecting mechanism. When used in a car, the upper clamping plate Z lies between the ceiling 21 and the sunlight barrier 20. The end of the sunlight barrier 20 against the revolution axis 23 is held by the clamp arid the LCD screen 4 is -secured on the sunlight barrier 20. The device may fix the LCD screen on the sunlight barrier of the car conveniently, easy in installation and dismantle, fast in structure. Th.e flexible connecting mechanism 5 of the holding device makes it possible to adjust the angle of the LCD screen in X and Y directions. When leaving the car, the user may take away the LCD screen by releasing the clamp and unplugging the cord, and the LCD screen will become a portable one. The device will possess the function of video camera monitoring when the video camera head 31 on the clamp is wired to the LCD screen 4.
Detailed Description of the Invention The aim of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of exisfiing proverbial LCD screens, such as inconvenience in installation and dismantle and breakage of the original structure of the car. It provides a portable and car-borne dual-purpose LCD screen holding device, which may fix the LCD screen on the sunlight barrier of the car conveniently, easy in installation and dismantle, fast in structure, with functions of dustproof and protection for the LCD screen.
The aim of the invention is realized like this: It consists of a LCD
screen body, a. clamp, and a flexible connecting mechanism. The clamp s . ,~ . .. , .

and the LCD screen are connected each other in a flexible way. The included angle of the clamp may be a sharp angle 8 with 0° ~ 8~ ~
45°or an obtuse angle 0 with 160°<8<180. On the clamp is fixed a flexible connecting mechanism, the other end of which is fixed on the housing of the LCD screen. When used in a car, the upper clamping plate lies between the ceiling and the sunlight barrier. The end of the sunlight _ barrier against the revolution axis is clamped by the clamp and the LCD
screen is held on the sunlight barrier. The LCD screen body may be a folding notebook LCD screen as well. In this case, the bottom side of the housing of LCD screen is combined with the lower clamping plate into an integer.
In the above structure, the clamp will hold the sunlight barrier reliably. When the LCD screen is lowered for viewing, the center of gravity will itiove- ~o behind the aXis of the sunlight barrier, thus the ~5 sunlight barrier will produce a thrust to turn up, resulting from the deadweight'of the whole device by the lever effect of the sunlight barrier and its revolution axis. At the same time, the ceiling will stop the sunlight barrier and counteract the thrust and the whole device will be fixed on the sunlight barrier without going down. When the LCD screen is closed, the center of gravity will move to before the axis of the sunlight bari~ier, the whole device with the sunlight barrier will drop slightly far the deadweight of the whole device under the lever effect of the sunlight barrier and its revolution axis. At the same time, the ceiling will press against the rear part of the upper clamping plate and counteract the weight, thus the whole device with the sunlight barrier will be fixed an the sunlight barrier without turning down. Besides, the included angle adopted for the clamp is very important. When the included angle of the clamp is a sharp angle, a too large angle will make it hard for the clamp to be inserted into the spacing between the ceiling and the sunlight barrier, or only the edge of the sunlight barrier will be clamped even if it does be inserted there, leading to a unreliable holding effect. When the included angle of the clamp is an obtuse angle, a too small angle will make the height of the clamp greater than the spacing between the ceiling and the sunlight barrier and make it hard for the clamp to be inserted in.

The flexible connecting mechanism of the invention consists of positioning seats, transverse axis and cylinder. The two positioning sets are parallel to each other with their centers of circle on an axis. The transverse axis is inserted between then. Because of the elastic connection between the transverse axis and the positioning seat, when the cylinder is inserted into the transverse axis and swings along the arc in ~' direction around the transverse axis, the positioning seat and transverse axis will produce an elastic resistance, which will make the LCD screen connected by the cylinder stop at the angle stably, and even the bumping during the travel of the car would not change the angle. The cylinder is inserted into the transverse axis, and the LCD screen may be driven by manual operation to rotate along the 36U° arc in X direction around the cylinder. Actually th.e cylinder rotates in the circular hole of the transverse his arid locked in place by the screv~i. _ ~5 Un the clamp of the invention is fixed a micro video camera head., which is flexibly connected to the clamp. The micro video camera head is connected to the clamp by the hinge and may rotate along the 360° arc in X direction.
Advantages of the invention: The LCD screen may be easily fixed on the sunlight barrier of the car and may be installed and dismantled conveniently, without damaging the original structure and decoration of the car. The angle is adjustable in both X and ~ directions. When leaving the car, the user may take away the LCD screen by unplugging the cord and releasing the clamp, preventing it from ding stolen. When it is to be used, the only thing to do is to clamp the LCD screen on the sunlight barrier and turn on the power. The location of installation is arranged near under the ceiling of the car, flee from sunlight, which is good for extending its service life. The device is folding, pretty in appearance, dustproof, with the functions of a video camera monitor.
