Background of the invention

The technology used in the manufacture of television sets and image display monitors have resulted in what is defined as "flat screens" or flat TVs These devices have a front surface considerable with respect to a very small thickness or depth, with what placement in a home or office has varied.

One of the means of disposal of these TVs are hung from a bracket or anchor fixing to the wall, said support allowing a relative movement of scrolling and turning the TV side to better adjust the viewing angle and improving comfort of use.

In this case, the support or arm that holds the TV separates it from the wall, being able to observe a hole later that is aesthetically inappropriate. Given the thin thickness or TV depth, this hole in which the support is considerable, and such support is the cause of the effect Unsightly mentioned.

In other cases, the TV is arranged by a base incorporated on a flat surface, for example a sideboard or furniture for that purpose. In this case the TV is separated from the wall that is usually behind the furniture with notoriety and the advantage of space gain is not taken advantage of provided by the shallow depth of the TV in front of the pronounced depth that adds the base or furniture on which support

The Spanish utility model is known 1063351 for "Furniture with mobile stand for TV and others electronic devices "describing a piece of furniture with a flat area, parallel to the ground plane, and comprising some horizontal guidance means located on the said area and a mobile stand for holding the device or television. In the bottom of the support are positioned means of displacement, housed inside the guiding means horizontal, which allow the displacement of said support to throughout the area. This furniture is designed for the placement of a horizontally supported apparatus, and enables displacement in transverse direction, but does not allow the placement of a television or flat screen hung vertically with functions of forward movement and turn to one side or another.

The applicant of the present invention ignores the existence of antecedents that resolve so satisfactory the exposed problem.

Description of the invention

The TV cabinet, object of this invention, presents some technical peculiarities destined to improve the aesthetic appearance offered when said furniture is closed or in rest position with the TV in a position folded, maintaining the technical advantages of being able to move and turn the TV to adjust its position to comfort and tastes of the users.

According to the invention, this furniture it comprises a first rear panel, vertical, on which a second intermediate panel is fixed frontally, which it is equipped with a window, and a third previous panel of free scrolling and anchoring the TV on your face Exterior.

The third panel is fixed by an arm articulated to the rear panel through the window. Arm articulated defines a resting position in which the previous panel it is arranged on the intermediate panel, and the articulated arm is housed in the said window.

In this way, in this resting position or closed furniture, the furniture only shows the three overlapping panels and the TV on the outside of the front panel, without can see the articulated arm by nowhere, which improves undoubtedly the aesthetic aspect of the set.

The said articulated arm can be of any type, for example consisting of two parallel arms of movement in unison, or with a multiple joint; allowing In any case, turn the TV 90º at least towards one of the lateral.

In a preferred embodiment the previous panel it has dimensions larger than the dimensions of the window, such that said panel completely covers the window in the resting position, achieving greater integration of the different furniture parts. For example, all three panels may present externally the same dimensions, so that the furniture in the resting or closed position forms a vertical parallelepiped of thin

The intermediate panel has a thickness enough to accommodate the width or thickness occupied by the arm articulated in the collected position.

This thickness can be improved by anterior or posterior spacers on one of the major faces of the intermediate panel, and arranged around the window. This configuration is appropriate, for example, in the event that said intermediate panel be a thin wooden plate, earning sayings spacers the depth of the window needed to house the articulated arm.

The previous panel facilitates the movement of the TV, even making it unnecessary to throw or push said television directly, just like with one arm conventional articulated.

The furniture can be placed hanging on a wall by its rear panel, which achieves a reduced increased thickness behind the TV, with the consequent aesthetic appearance improvement when only the three panels are visible stacked and not the articulated arm.

In another embodiment the furniture comprises a lower base that allows placement on a surface horizontal, such as the floor or on top of another piece of furniture, such as a sideboard or table.
