Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a monitor television, and more specifically, to a monitor television supported on a pedestal so as to be vertically and horizontally rotatable.

[Conventional technology]

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 57-17985 discloses that a flexible structure is provided between the casing of a monitor television and a pedestal that supports the casing. An angle adjustment device provided with a bearing is shown. According to this, since the swivel bearing serves both as an elevation mechanism and a horizontal rotation mechanism, it can be made compact with fewer parts.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

In the conventional example above, the monitor TV can be removed from the pedestal, but one side of the swivel bearing is exposed at the bottom of the case, so if it is placed on the floor, it will be quite unstable. state. Therefore, there was a drawback that it could not be used after being removed from the pedestal.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its structural features include a pedestal that removably supports the casing of the monitor television, and a spherical surface with a predetermined curvature on the upper surface of the pedestal. a spherical protrusion and a horizontal surface portion formed on the periphery of the hem of the spherical protrusion, and a spherical recess having a sliding surface that matches the spherical protrusion at the bottom of the casing; , a pair of left and right arch-shaped legs are formed to be supported on the horizontal surface while maintaining contact between the spherical recess and the spherical protrusion, and are capable of being raised and raised on the pedestal. In the monitor television which is supported so as to be horizontally rotatable, a skirt is provided at the bottom of the casing, the skirt having a height longer than the leg pieces and serving also as a supporting leg of the casing.

[Effect]

Since the skirt is used not only as a blindfold but also as supporting legs, the television monitor can be removed from the pedestal and placed stably on, for example, the floor, a tabletop, or a shelf.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, this invention will be described in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

This monitor television is equipped with an angle adjustment device as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. That is, the angle adjustment device supports a monitor television casing 2 on a pedestal 1 so that it can be elevated and rotated horizontally, and FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the pedestal 1, and FIGS. This pedestal 1 is shown in Figure 4.
The configuration of the bottom of the housing 2, which is the counterpart of the casing 2, is illustrated. According to this, a spherical protrusion 3 formed with a predetermined curvature and a horizontal surface part 4 formed around the periphery of the spherical protrusion 3 are provided on the upper part of the pedestal 1. In this case, the horizontal surface portion 4 is formed so as to be lifted above the pedestal 1, but as shown in FIG. good.

On the other hand, a spherical recess 5 having a sliding surface that matches the spherical protrusion 3 is provided at the bottom of the casing 2;
A pair of left and right legs 6, 6 are provided which are arch-shaped and supported by the horizontal surface portion 4 while maintaining contact between the spherical recess 5 and the spherical protrusion 3. The leg pieces 6, 6 have the same height and function to prevent the housing 2 from rolling over and to keep the housing 2 horizontal. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, this spherical recess 5 is formed from a plurality of ribs 10 extending radially from its center or a plurality of annular ribs 11 arranged concentrically. You can.

According to this invention, a skirt 7 is provided at the bottom of the casing 2 of the monitor television so as to surround the outside of the spherical recess 5 and the legs 6, 6. This skirt 7 has a height higher than the length of the leg pieces 6 so as to serve as legs when the housing 2 is separated from the pedestal 1 and placed on the floor, etc., and does not come into contact with the top surface of the pedestal 1. It is formed at a height that does not get in the way when the housing 2 is looked down or up.
However, the pedestal 1' as shown in FIG.
When using the skirt 7, the horizontal surface portion 4 of the skirt 7 is
It is formed so as to be pushed into the groove 8 provided around the . Note that from a design point of view, it is preferable that the skirt 7 be formed in an annular shape as in this embodiment, but if emphasis is placed solely on its function as legs when placed on the floor, it is not necessarily necessary to form an annular shape. Instead, it is sufficient to simply provide plate-like bodies on the left and right sides.

In the above configuration, when the housing 2 is placed on the pedestal 1, the spherical recess 5 and the spherical protrusion 3 slide against the plurality of ribs 9, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The leg pieces 6, 6 are supported by the horizontal surface portion 4 while making contact via the moving surface. Therefore,
When a force is applied to the housing 2 to rotate it in the vertical direction, the housing 2 moves upward along the spherical protrusion 3. In this case, the casing 2 is supported horizontally by the leg pieces 6, 6, so it does not tilt laterally.
In addition, since the leg pieces 6, 6 are formed in an arch shape,
The housing 2 can be raised and lowered smoothly, and the housing 2 is held in that position by the frictional force generated between the spherical protrusion 3 and the spherical recess 5. On the other hand, if a force is applied to casing 2 to rotate it laterally,
The housing 2 rotates horizontally about the virtual center line of the spherical protrusion 3. In order to perform the above-mentioned action, the center of gravity of the housing 2 is preferably placed on the virtual center line of the spherical protrusion.

As mentioned above, this monitor TV is supported so that it can be tilted up and down and rotated horizontally, but since the bottom of the housing 2 has skirts 7 that serve as legs, it can be removed from the pedestal 1 and placed on the floor or shelf. It can also be used. Therefore, it is convenient when placed on a shelf with a relatively narrow frontage height.

〔effect〕

As is clear from the description of the above-mentioned embodiment, according to this invention, the skirt is supported on the pedestal so that it can be elevated and rotated, but can be separated from the angle adjustment device as needed, and the skirt can be used independently as a leg. A monitor television is provided that can be used.
