Abstract
An LCD PC all in one case includes a main chassis to which a standard hard disk drive and a micro or mini ATX motherboard can be fixed and on the front side a TFT integrated display panel with either a hard screen or touch screen fitted. The rear of the case houses an integral combination drive bay with unique push out section of the plastic to suit the combination of drives installed (Drawing 1c, 1d, 1e) and an integral 90-240volt flex ATX power unit adapted for the use in this product. A spine is fastened to the main chassis at both the top and bottom which is formed along the rear of the unit providing strength for the fixing of the Flat Panel Monitor Mounting Interface device. The cooling fan provided supports both the AMD and Pentium 4(3GHz) processor type motherboards. The complete unit is fastened to a stand with forward and backward tilt, for the best viewing angle.
Description
The Description 2409738
The invention relates to a 17" LCD PC case and manufactured to the styling of a desktop monitor incorporating the PC and the display. The display is protected with an Anti-Glare Glass or Polycarbonate sheet.
This can be changed as an option for the use of a touch screen when used as an in store information system. A stand is fitted for desktop use so the viewing angle can be tilted for comfort ability for the user or easily removed if used with a different mounting devise. (Drawing 1 g) The reason for this type of product is to make the desktop PC and display an all in one product, (commonly known as an LCD PC) which is fully upgradeable (unlike the common LCD PC) making the working environment cable clutter free and cutting down the work space required for the separate units by 2/3rds. With the unit having the standard VESA fixings at the rear gives full flexibility for fitting to an arm or wall mounting device as any standard monitor.
The 17" LCD PC case includes a fully integrated LCD TFT panel incorporating the associated circuitry to that of a complete monitor, thus making assembly and service easy for the system builder. A chassis onto which many Micro ATX motherboards including Mini ATX can be fastened (Drawing 2a), unlike its predecessors which in the past have based a similar product around a Note-book (laptop) using specialized components and not being upgradeable. A fixing bracket is included on the main chassis for the standard PC Hard Disk Drive. (Drawing 2b) An active audio amplifier PCB with connecting cables is fitted for amplified sound to the two speakers mounted in the front of the unit. (Drawing 2c and if) On the front side fixing boss or brackets are fitted to mount the integrated TFT display. (Drawing 2d) Push-out slots are available on the 1/0 side of the rear cover for fitting peripheral cards to the unit. A PCI riser card is supplied to alter the plane of direction so the cards lye horizontal with the motherboard to keep the total depth to a minimum. (Drawing la) A standard punched out section is left for the ATX motherboard 1/0 ports. (Drawing 2b) The drive housing bay on the other side of the rear cover is uniquely designed to cater for many combinations of storage drives. The 1 St push out is for the slim CD, DVD or Combo drive. (Drawing lc) The 2nd push out is for slim CD/RW, (Drawing 1 d) a standard floppy, zip drive (Drawing 1 e) or 2nd HDD etc. This is better explained in diagram 4 Drive Fixing Brackets. To
With one CD type drive fitted it is fixed in position 4a.
The second CD type drive is fitted in 4b.
The floppy or Zip drive is fitted in 4c.
Alternatively the combination of CD, CD/RW and 2"6 Hard disk drive can be fitted in (4d), but when this combination is used then only push outs (Ic) and (id) are removed keeping the 2'16 hard disk drive hidden as you would expect.
A CPU cooler fan designed specially for this product to meet the demands of the latest processor technology and a universal fitting for both Pentium and AMD types is supplied. (Drawing 3) The cooler consists of a copper block with fins 2mm apart for air circulation and heat dissipation. (3a) A gap is left down the centre of the fins, (3b) for fitting the AMD bracket (3c) to the AMD processor and socket fixing lugs on the AMD type processor motherboards. At the lower section of the block screw holes are provided (3d) for fixing the Pentium 4 brackets so the cooler can fit the Pentium 4 type motherboard fixings. (3e) The whole unit is powered from a single mains cable which is connected to the integral power supply unit. The power supply unit is of the Flex ATX type with all the output connection plugs supplied. (Drawing 5) The total tooled unit consists of: Front Bezel Rear Cover Main Chassis Drive Bay Spine (For strength) Stand with tilt action The other assembled parts in the product are: 1 x 17" TFT integrated display panel I x Power supply unit I x Hard screen or touch screen option 1 x CD drive These are supplied by other manufacturers for our assembly.
To make the product a full operational system is down to the system builder who adds the motherboard, processor, memory and hard disk drive, keyboard, mouse and any add on cards to their customers
specifications.
