Abstract

PURPOSE:To achieve safety driving by mounting a display containing a cathode ray tube or a conventional television picture tube at the head rest above front seat such that the picture image can be seen only from the rear seat but not from the driver seat. CONSTITUTION:A head rest 2 is dismountable from the seat 1 and fixed by inserting a shaft board section 3 through the upper section of the seat 1 such that the height is adjustable. Said head rest 2 is made hollow and held while surrounding the head rest 2 except the picture image display face of a cathode ray tube or except the picture image display face and the circumferential mask section. At least the surface of the head rest 2 is formed basically of a buffer material and the mask section is also formed of a resilient material.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vehicle-mounted television device, and more particularly to a means for mounting a display section including a television receiver or a cathode ray tube into a vehicle.

There are a wide variety of car interior equipment, but we are now in an era where it has become common for audio systems with sound range characteristics that match the structure of the car to be installed as full-fledged car components, and even television receivers are now being installed. They are also being used in cars.

In this case, in the past, the television receiver Ai was stored in a glove box in front of the passenger seat of the car, as shown in Figure 1, or between the driver's seat and passenger seat, as shown in Figure 2. Television receiver A was installed and fixed on a certain center console box. Furthermore, recently, television receivers have been equipped with cathode ray tubes, display parts including deflection systems,
Divided into an operation section that includes switches and volume controls necessary for television operation, a power section, and a main body section that includes a television signal processing circuit, it is lighter and smaller than a normal television receiver. There is also a means to mount the displayed display part B on the center console box as shown in Figure 2, or to the operation part (overhead console part) including the bank mirror located above the driver's seat and passenger seat. It had been proposed.

However, when a television receiver is housed and installed inside a glow box or above a center console box, the original purpose of these boxes, which is to store small items, is no longer fulfilled, which causes problems such as practical inconvenience. In-vehicle television receivers are basically mounted on the back seats for people riding in the rear seats, and taking this into account, the method of attaching the television receiver to the glow box or overhead console is to attach the screen from the rear seats. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to see and is not practical. Additionally, if a television receiver is mounted on a glow box or overhead console, the driver of the car can also view the television, which is dangerous for safe driving.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and allows the installation of a television receiver or display using the headrest located on the upper part of the front seat. 1il- is what we are trying to measure.

The above type of pad is removably attached to the top of the seat.
It also has a height-adjustable structure, and at least the surface is made of shock-absorbing material to protect the human head. In the present invention, the headrest holds a television receiver, particularly a display section including a cathode ray tube, and the television receiver or display section is mounted above the seat.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained using FIGS. 3 to 6.

FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the seat 1 and the headrest 2. As shown in the figure, the headrest 2 is removable from the seat 1, and by inserting the shaft plate 3 into the upper part of the seat 1. It is installed and the height can be further adjusted. FIG. 4 shows a space inside the headrest 2, in which a display section 4 consisting of only a cathode ray tube is housed, and the image display surface of the cathode ray tube is excluded, or the image display surface and the surrounding mask section are housed therein. Hold it by wrapping it with head pad 2 except for. Of course, at this time, at least the surface of the head rest 2 is made of cushioning material, and the mask part is also made of elastic material. Create with what you have.

According to this configuration, the glow box or center console box can be used as a storage space for small items, and the image display surface of the cathode ray tube can be easily accessed from the person in the rear seat. This is advantageous in terms of safety because it cannot be seen by the driver.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment. Is Figure 4 only the cathode ray tube video signal amplification circuit? On the other hand, Figure 5 shows a general television receiver that incorporates a cathode ray tube, operation section, speaker section, television signal processing circuit, etc. all in one housing. This figure shows the case where the unit 5 is mounted on a tower.In this case, since the operation part and speaker part are formed on the surface of the casing, the headrest 2' is processed into a roughly U-shape when viewed from the side, and the television receiver is Hold the machine 5 in a pinching manner. In this state, the shaft plate part 3' integrated with the head rest 2
A headrest 2' that holds a television receiver 5 using
Install it on the front seat 1. Of course, at this time the head rest 2
At least the surface is constructed based on a cushioning material. It goes without saying that in this case as well, the same effects as in the case of FIG. 4 can be obtained.

FIG. 6 shows yet another embodiment. As shown in Figure 6, if the front part of the television receiver 5 including the cathode ray tube and operation section remains exposed, the various operation knobs will remain in a protruding state, so that a person riding in the rear seat cannot touch the operation knobs. There is a risk of injury due to collision. In order to eliminate this problem, the one shown in Fig. 6 is designed to cover the front part of the television receiver 5 in addition to the one shown in Fig. 5, and a protective cover 6 made of a transparent material is provided. One end of the cup (-6) is rotatably connected to the -6 of the head rest 2 using a hinge 7, and when the television receiver 6 is not being viewed, the protective cover 6 is closed as shown in the figure. The front part of the machine 5 is covered.When operating the various operation knobs, the protective force (-6) can be opened, and when the operation is completed, it can be closed again as shown in the figure.As a result, this configuration Accordingly, the safety of those riding in the rear seats can be ensured.

In addition, in FIGS. 5 and 6, the television receiver 6 may be fixed to the headrest 2', or may be detachable.

As described above, according to the present invention, by mounting a display section including a cathode ray tube or a normal television receiver on the headrest at the top of the front seat, the glow box or center console box can be replaced with the original one. The image display surface of the cathode ray tube can only be seen by the person in the rear seat, and is not visible by the person in the driver's seat, which is advantageous for safety. This makes the screen easier to see.
