For example, shown in Fig. 5 A~5C, can have many television set units 21 of said structure along axle P (center of gravity) rotation by the castor 33a~33d on the basal surface that is fixed to base unit 32.Here, axle P is as when the center when the top of display unit 31 is watched.
Though the order of Fig. 5 A~5C represents that with axle P be the example that the center is rotated counterclockwise many television set units 21, many television set units 21 obviously can turn clockwise.
As mentioned above, many television set units 21 are divided into demonstration support 41a and the holding portion 41b that three display 43a~43c are installed, make, shown in Fig. 6 A~6C, be that the center will show that support 41a is rotated counterclockwise the angle of 180 degree in the part face forward that can extend downwards at the upside from holding portion 41b of many television sets 21, with axle P.In this case, display 43a~43c can be used as integral unit along the predetermined direction orientation from the front side to rear side.
As mentioned above, the demonstration support 41a of many television set units 21 is divided into last display part 42a, middle display part 42b that display 43b is installed that display 43a is installed and the following display part 42c that display 43c is installed, make, shown in Fig. 7 A~7C, can be being that the center will be gone up the angles that display part 42a, middle display part 42b and following display part 42c are rotated counterclockwise 180 degree respectively with the irrelevant mode of the following demonstration bracket base 42d (with holding portion 41b) of face forward, with axle P.Fig. 7 A~7C represents to be rotated counterclockwise the example of display part 42a.
By on the left and right sides surface of base unit 32, forming groove 53a, protuberance 53b etc., can in delegation, a plurality of many television set units 21 (n many television set units 21 arbitrarily) arbitrarily be set along continuous straight runs, easily to constitute the many system for TV set of demonstration as the result's of the 3n that works a together display image.
Fig. 8 represents to comprise many system for TV set of television set unit 21 more than three.
In order to distinguish following n many television set units 21, these many television set units are called television set unit 21-1~21-n.Identical method for expressing is applicable to the various piece of many television set units 21.
With reference to Fig. 9, the method that explanation is fixed together a plurality of many television set units 21 when along continuous straight runs is provided with a plurality of many television set unit 21 in delegation as shown in Figure 8.
By accessory 52a-1 and maintenance pawl 52b-1 (being installed on the top surface 44-1 of display unit 31-1) are fixed on accessory 51a-2 and the maintenance pawl 51b-2 (being installed on the top surface 44-2 of display unit 31-2), many television set units 21-1 is fixed on many television set units 21-2.
Accessory 52a-1 by keeping many television set units 21-1 by the maintenance pawl 51b-2 of many television set units 21-2 is fixed together many television set units 21-1 and 21-2.In addition, the accessory 51a-2 by keeping many television set units 21-2 by the maintenance pawl 52b-1 of many television set units 21-1 is fixed together many television set units 21-1 and 21-2.
And, also the protuberance 53b-2 on the left-hand face of the groove 53a-1 in the right lateral surface of the base unit 32-1 by making many television set units 21-1 and the base unit 32-2 of many television set units 21-2 cooperates, and many television set units 21-1 and 21-2 are fixed together.
Like this, accessory 51a-2 and keep pawl 52b-1, accessory 52a-1 and keep pawl 51b-2 and groove 53a and protuberance 53b makes it possible to easily, fixing (location) television set unit 21-1 and many television set units 21-2 quickly and accurately.This is equally applicable to n the adjacent interconnective situation of many television set units 21-n.
In many television set units 21, when shown in Fig. 6 A~6C or Fig. 7 A~7C being among the rotating display device 43a~43c of center any or all with axle P, only use groove 53a and protuberance 53b, make accessory 51a, maintenance pawl 52b, accessory 52a and maintenance pawl 51b not be used.
Figure 10 is the back perspective view of many television set units 21.
As shown in figure 11, cable 101 is signal cable parts 111 and the cable that is used for the feed cable part 112 of supply capability that integral body is formed for transmission signals.
As shown in figure 12, distributor 102 will by cable 101 from many television set units signal supplied on the right and distributing electric power (supply) to the display 43a~43c that is installed on many television set units 21, and by cable 101 ' be assigned in adjacent many television set units on the left side.
Get back to Figure 10, at the rear side of many television set units 21, lid 54 is mounted and is fixed on display unit 31 and the base unit 32, with the top surface of covering base unit 32 and the rear side of holding portion 41b.
The left-hand face of lid 54 and right lateral surface (respectively towards the contiguous left side and many television set units on the right) have breach 103a and scarce 103b respectively, be used for by the respective cable 101 that is connected with each contiguous many television set unit and cable 101 '.
Therefore, when along continuous straight runs was provided with n many television set units 21-1~21-n in delegation as shown in figure 13, the breach 103a-1 that second end of the cable 101-1 (corresponding with the cable 101 among Figure 10) that first end is connected with another many television set units (not shown) of supply signal and electric power passes many television set units 21-1 was connected with distributor 102-1.
The cable 101-2 that one end and distributor 102-1 connect (with the cable 101 shown in Figure 10 ' corresponding) passes breach 103b-1 and is connected with the distributor 102-2 of many television set units 21-2 with breach 103a-2.This makes many television set units 21-1 to receive electric power and signal from another many television set units, and electric power and signal are supplied with many television set units 21-2.
Similarly, cable 101-3~101-n connects the adjacent many television set units 21 among many television set units 21-2~21-n, to supply with electric power and the signal of supplying with from many television set units 21 on each the right.
This has reduced the quantity that is used for supplying with to many television set units 21-1~21-n the cable of signal and electric power, and makes that all many television set units 21-1~21-n that are joined together can received signal and electric power.
Because cable 101-1~101-n is covered by lid 54-1~54-n, therefore can provide wiring with good surface appearance.
The following describes the mechanism that is used for the display 43a~43c shown in rotation diagram 6A~6C and Fig. 7 A~7C.
Figure 14 is the back perspective view of display unit 31.
As shown in figure 14, at the separated in vertical direction upside of display unit 31, vertically pass the cylinder conduit 121 that shows support 41a vertically and be set at and show that support 41a (has installed among the display 43a~43c).
Bearing 123 is set up long in vertical direction cuboid and shows on the basal surface of support 41a.
Bearing 123 has for example to be fixed to and shows the outer shroud (not shown) on the support 41a (housing) and be fixed to interior ring (not shown) on the conduit 121.When applying with axle P is center when being rotated counterclockwise the power that shows support 41a, puts into the outer shroud of bearing 123 and the ball (not shown) between the ring and rolls, and makes, as shown in figure 15, shows that support 41a is rotated counterclockwise (being rotated).
Figure 15 presentation surface demonstration support 41a (from state shown in Figure 14) forwards has been rotated counterclockwise the state of the angle of 90 degree.
Figure 16 is the top view of the display unit 31 of state shown in Figure 15.
In Figure 16, block (protuberance) 131 is installed on the basal surface that shows support 41a, near the core with a minor face being positioned at the rectangular base surface that shows support 41a.
Block 132a and 132b are installed in the upside of holding portion 41b, near the core with each minor face of the rectangular top surface that is positioned at holding portion 41b.
When being that the center is rotated counterclockwise when showing support 41a further with axle P from the state shown in Figure 16 that shows the angle that support 41a has been rotated by 90 degrees, be installed to block 131 on the basal surface that shows support 41a and meet block 132b on the upper surface that is installed to holding portion 41b, stop to show the rotation of support 41a thus.At this moment, from the forward observation of many television set units 21, display 43a~43c has been rotated 180 degree.
On the contrary, when from showing that state shown in Figure 16 that support 41a has been rotated by 90 degrees is that the center turns clockwise when showing support 41a with axle P, be installed to block 131 on the basal surface that shows support 41a and meet block 132a on the upper surface that is installed to holding portion 41b, stop to show the rotation of support 41a thus.At this moment, display 43a~43c is towards the front of many television set units 21.
Therefore, bearing 123 makes that demonstration support 41a is rotatable, and, by block 131, block 132a and block 132b, can control in the scope that is rotated in 0~180 degree that shows support 41a.
When with axle P being center rotation when going up among display part 42a, middle display part 42b and the following display part 42c each, the use identical mechanism.
The example of display part 42b during Figure 17 and Figure 18 represent to rotate.
Bearing 141 is installed on the top surface of middle display part 42b.On the housing of display part 42b, ring (not shown) was fixed on the conduit 121 in it during the outer shroud (not shown) of bearing 141 was fixed to.
Bearing 142 is installed on the basal surface (lower surface) of middle display part 42b.On the housing of display part 42b, ring (not shown) was fixed on the conduit 121 in it during the outer shroud (not shown) of bearing 142 was fixed to.
Like this, be during the center is rotated counterclockwise during the power of display part 42b when applying with axle P, as shown in figure 18, middle display part 42b rotates under the situation of rotary guide pipe 121 not.
Being arranged on conduit 121 among the middle display part 42b shown in Figure 17 has and is used for drawing from the inside of conduit 121 the signal cable 122a that is connected with display 43b and the opening 143 of feed cable 122b.
Therefore, owing to the part of signal cable 122a in the conduit 121 and feed cable 122b and the irrelevant to rotation of middle display part 42b, that is, even owing to signal cable 122a and feed cable 122b when middle display part 42b rotates or not yet, therefore, they are not wound.
Because signal cable 122a outside the conduit 121 and the part (that is, the part from conduit 121 to display 43b) of feed cable 122b do not move with the rotation of middle display part 42b opening 143, therefore, they are not wound.
As Figure 17 and shown in Figure 180, though signal cable 122a and feed cable 122b are not wound in the mechanism of the rotating range corresponding opening 143 of formation and middle display part 42b in conduit 121 therein, they move slightly.
Therefore, can use the mechanism shown in the Figure 19 that is designed to not movable signal cable 122a and feed cable 122b.
In Figure 19, and use conduit 161 (duct portion 161a~161c) to replace conduit 121.Shown in the left side of Figure 19, in middle display part 42b, conduit 161 is divided into duct portion 161a~161c.Duct portion 161a and duct portion 161b clamp hoop 171a, and duct portion 162b and duct portion 162c clamp power ring 171b.
Shown in the centre of Figure 19, the power supply terminal 191b that is used for to the signal input terminal 191a of its input signal and is used to receive electric power is from being installed to display 43b on the 42b of display part with the form projection of pin, and contacts with power ring 171b with hoop 171a respectively.
When central display part 42b such as Figure 17 and shown in Figure 180 being rotated, the display 43b in being installed on the 42b of display part also is rotated.Shown in the right side of Figure 19, the signal input terminal 191a of display 43b contacts with power ring 171b with hoop 171a respectively with power supply terminal 191b, and received signal and electric power continuously thus.In this case, signal cable 122a and feed cable 122b do not move.
Be appreciated that from the above description, many television set units 21 shown in Fig. 4 obviously can be shown in Fig. 5 A~5C is that the center rotates as individual unit with vertical axis P, perhaps, the display unit 31 of many television set units 21 can be shown under the situation of the bottom (that is, the base unit 32 of display unit 31 and holding portion 41b) that does not rotate many television set units 21 as Fig. 6 A~6C and be rotated.This makes that display 43a~43c can be from their direction unit rotation as a whole in the scopes of 180 degree of face forward.
And, according to many television set units 21, as shown in Figure 7, last display part 42a, middle display part 42b and following display part 42c can (from they face forward direction 180 the degree scopes in) be rotated individually.
By accessory 51a, maintenance pawl 52b, accessory 52a and maintenance pawl 51b (being installed on the top surface 44 of display unit 31) or groove 53a and protuberance 53b (being set on each side of base unit 32), can easily, fast and exactly many television set units 21 be fixed on adjacent many television set units 21.
