Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a support device for a speaker box in a television set, audio product, etc.

For example, some television sets multiplex audio by connecting to other audio systems. In such a systemized television set, it is generally set in combination with a speaker box so that high-fidelity audio reproduction can be performed. This speaker box is sometimes used by being stored in a TV stand on which a TV set is placed or a special stand, but in order to widen the sound range and obtain a good stereo feeling, the speaker box is Alternatively, it may be taken out and set on both sides of the front. However, conventionally, this speaker box is simply stored in a TV stand or stand, so the work of taking it out, such as positioning it when setting it up, is extremely difficult and complicated. It was also impossible to rearrange the boxes arbitrarily.

This idea allows the speaker box to be used in systemized television sets, audio products, and other audio products in which the speaker box is stored in a stand, even under restricted space conditions where furniture is placed adjacent to it. The purpose of this invention is to take out the antenna diagonally to both sides of the front, so that the arrangement can be changed freely, and thereby to obtain a wider acoustic effect even under space constraints. One embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a television stand in a television set to which this invention is applied.This television stand 1 has an approximately U-shaped opening formed in the front and both sides thereof, and reinforcement is provided approximately in the center of this opening 2. A vertical support 3 for use is provided. Speaker boxes 4, 4 are removably housed on the left and right sides of the opening 2, sandwiching the vertical beam 3. A television set 15 is placed on this television stand 1.

On the upper and lower inner surfaces of the left and right sides of the opening 2 that sandwich the vertical beam 3,
As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of upper and lower guide grooves 5 are provided. This guide groove 5,5
is formed into a substantially U-shape with one side along the front edge of the television stand 1 and extending rearward from both ends along the side edge of the television stand 1 and the vertical beam 3.

On the other hand, the guide grooves 5, 5 are provided at the inner rear corner positions on both upper and lower surfaces of the speaker boxes 4, 4.
A pair of upper and lower protruding members 6, 6 which are fitted correspondingly are provided in a protruding manner. In this example, as shown in FIG. 3, this projecting member 6 is composed of a guide roller 8 rotatably supported at the tip of a shaft portion 7, and this guide roller 8 is arranged in the guide groove 5. It is designed to be guided by rolling along the inner circumference.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, when the speaker boxes 4, 4 are housed in the opening 2 of the TV stand 1, the protruding member 6 is located inside the guide groove 5, that is, on the side of the vertical frame 3. (The TV stand 1 and speaker box 4 are located at the rear, that is, at the rear end in the depth direction.
Since the structure is bilaterally symmetrical, only one side will be explained below. ) The speaker box 4 can be taken out and set at the front of the opening 2, on both sides of the front, and on the sides thereof, as described later, by the protruding members 6, 6 being guided from the starting end to the ending along the guide grooves 5, 5. It is becoming more and more common.

Here, when the protruding member 6 is at the starting end of the guide groove 5, it is moved from A to the front edge of the guide groove along the vertical beam 3. When it is located at the outer end of the guide groove, it is called C, and when it is located at the terminal end of the guide groove 5, that is, at the outer rear end, it is called D.

Further, the speaker box 4 is provided with a suitable moving means, so that the operation when taking it out from the opening 2 can be performed more easily.

In this example, this moving means is a caster 9 that is rotatably attached to the front end of the outer bottom surface of the speaker box, as shown in FIG. At this time, it is fitted into a recess 2a formed in the bottom thereof. In addition, this caster 9 can be connected to speaker box 4.
It may be attached closer to the inside of the bottom surface. In this case, the recess 2a is changed to the opening 2 accordingly.
Of course, it is provided at a position near the vertical support 3 at the bottom.

Note that the above-mentioned moving means can be configured with various other things, for example, a rolling means biased by a spring in the projecting direction is stored in a predetermined position on the bottom of the speaker box so as to be freely accessible. , a structure that protrudes from the bottom surface and can roll when taken out from the opening 2, etc.

Further, in this embodiment, the protruding member 6 is composed of the shaft portion 7 and the guide roller 8, but it is not limited to this, and can be composed of various other components.
For example, it may simply protrude in the shape of a shaft, and in short, it may be of any construction as long as it can move favorably along the guide groove 5.

FIG. 5 shows another example of the above-mentioned guide groove,
This guide groove is a pair of channel-shaped guide rails 10, which are fixed to both the upper and lower inner surfaces of the opening 2 in a substantially U-shape as described above.

Note that 11 is a drawer handle attached to the front surface of the speaker box 4.

Next, the operation and handling of the above configuration will be explained.

The storage state shown in Figure 1 (even in this state,
When the speaker boxes 4, 4 are pulled forward from the speaker box (of course, good sound can be obtained), the protruding member 6 is located at position B in FIG. 3 along the guide groove 5, and the speaker box 4, 4 is As shown in FIG. 6, it is set so as to protrude a predetermined distance from the front of the television stand 1. In this case, the speaker box is smoothly pulled out by the rolling of the caster 9, and in the set state is supported by the caster 9 and held in the set state.

Next, when the speaker boxes 4, 4 are pulled out to both sides of the TV stand 1 from the set state shown in FIG.
The speaker box moves along the TV stand 1 and is positioned at position C, as shown in FIG.
It is set on both sides of the body, protruding from the front of the body. According to this, even under restricted space conditions where furniture etc. are placed on both sides of the TV set, the TV set can be set up without any problem while the speaker boxes 4, 4 are overlapped with the furniture. This means that it can be taken out and set on both diagonally front sides of the speaker, and as a result, the sound range can be further widened and a wide acoustic effect with good stereo sound can be obtained even in a restricted space.

Furthermore, when the speaker boxes 4, 4 are pushed backward along both sides of the TV stand 1 from the set state shown in FIG. 7, the protruding member 6 moves from C to the rear end side along the guide groove 5 as described above. , is located at position D in FIG. 3, and as shown in FIG. 8, the speaker boxes 4, 4 are set in parallel with the television stand 1 in a horizontal row.

According to this example, in any of the set states shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the speaker box is positioned relative to the TV stand 1 by the protruding member 6 being guided by the guide groove 5. It is well guided in movement while being positioned from the stored state to each set state, and even though it is in a cantilevered state in the set state, it is supported by the TV stand 1 between the protruding member 6 and the guide groove 5. In addition, since the speaker boxes 4 are supported from below by the casters 9, the speaker boxes 4, 4 can be held stably and reliably at all times in each set state. Therefore, even large system equipment can be handled without any problem.

Incidentally, an appropriate positioning means is provided between the protrusion member 6 and the guide groove 5 for positioning and locking the protrusion member 6 at each of the above-mentioned positions A to D, and for positioning the speaker boxes 4, 4 in each set state. However,
Details and illustration thereof will be omitted.

In this way, the speaker boxes are taken out from the opening 2 of the TV stand 1 in each set state, set, and rearranged in various configurations, and by changing the arrangement, the TV set can be placed in the vertical type shown in FIG. 1 or in the vertical type shown in FIG. 6. A speaker box with a speaker box protruding from the front as shown in Fig. 7, a horizontal type with a speaker box protruding from both sides in front of the TV stand as shown in Fig. 7, or a speaker box with a horizontal speaker box parallel to the TV stand as shown in Fig. 8. The combination of the TV set and the main body of the TV set can be configured in various ways.

In the above embodiment, it has been explained that the protruding member 6 is provided on the speaker box 4 and the guide groove 5 is provided on the upper and lower inner surfaces of the opening 2. A guide groove 5 may be provided in the speaker box 4 on the inner surface. It goes without saying that even in this case, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

As explained above, according to this invention, the speaker box can be completely taken out and set on both sides diagonally in front of the stand without any problem even in a confined space with furniture placed closely on both sides. By creating this state, the sound range can be further expanded and a wider acoustic effect can be obtained.

In addition, by moving along the U-shaped guide groove, the speaker box can be taken out straight to the front of the stand, slid to both sides and completely taken out diagonally to both sides of the stand, and then moved to both sides of the stand. The arrangement and arrangement can be freely changed, such as being pushed deep inside and lined up horizontally.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the speaker box can be held stably and reliably in any state of removal.
