DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for preventing a device from overturning, and more particularly to a device having a rotating mechanism or a rotatable device or furniture such as a television set mounted on a TV stand with a rotating mechanism. The present invention relates to a device fall prevention device for preventing a device from falling or falling when a disaster such as a disaster occurs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A television set with a rotating mechanism or a television set mounted on a television stand with a rotating mechanism can be changed in direction so that a viewer can watch the television screen from the front, and is widely used. . However, recent televisions have become larger and heavier, and it is extremely dangerous to fall or fall in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake.

[0003] A conventional device fall prevention device will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 10. FIG. 6 is a side view of a state in which the television main body is installed on a television base with a rotation mechanism, and a fall prevention device is attached to the television main body. Reference numeral 21 denotes a television base with a rotation mechanism; Rotation mechanism,
24 is a television body, 25 is a fall prevention device, and W is a fixed object such as a wall surface.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged detail view of a part of the overturn prevention device 25 of FIG. 6, wherein 26 is a television body side mounting holder, 28 is a wall surface fixing holder, 29 is a connecting cord, and 30 is a screw. . In order to prevent the TV stand 24 from falling over, the connecting cord 29 is set in a state of being pulled with an appropriate tension.

FIG. 8 is a top view when the television main body 24 mounted on the television base 21 with a rotation mechanism shown in FIG. 6 is installed at a corner of a room. FIGS. 9 and 10 are enlarged top views showing the portion of the overturn prevention device 25 of FIG. 8 and the vicinity thereof, showing a case where the rotation angles of the television main body 24 are different from each other.

[0006] In the conventional device overturn prevention device 25 configured as described above, to rotate the television main body 24,
What is necessary is just to rotate the television base 21 with a rotation mechanism by the rotation mechanism 23 attached to the television base fixed base 22, but the television main body 24 and the wall surface W are connected by a connecting cord 29 to prevent falling. Cannot rotate in the direction in which the connecting cord 29 is pulled. Therefore, when the TV main body 24 is rotated at an arbitrary angle, the length of the connecting string 29 is changed each time. When the length of the connecting string is not constant and cannot be changed, the position of the wall fixing holder 28 is moved. I had to do it. In addition, connecting string 29
Even if the television body 24 is rotated at an arbitrary angle in the direction in which
After rotating the television main body 24, the length of the connecting cord 29 had to be shortened and the position of the wall fixing holder 28 had to be moved.

[0007]

In the prior art, when a television with a rotation mechanism or a television stand with a rotation mechanism is rotated to change the angle of the television, the connecting cord must be removed or attached. And the position of the wall fixing holder must be moved, which is inconvenient. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to enable a device body rotatably installed to be able to rotate by an arbitrary angle, and to reliably prevent the device body from falling or falling.

[0008]

According to the present invention, as a means for solving the problems in the prior art, a curved rail having a center substantially coincident with the center of rotation of the equipment is fixed to the equipment, and the rail is fixed to the rail. By mounting a slidable holder and connecting with a holder fixed to the wall with a connecting member, the length of the connecting member from the wall is constant even if the device rotates, and the device falls down Alternatively, falling can be prevented.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a holder fixed to a fixed object such as a wall surface, a rail provided on a surface of the device rotatable substantially parallel to the floor surface facing the fixed object, and a rail mounted on the rail. It is characterized by comprising a slider that is movably held and a connecting member that connects the holder and the slider.

A second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect of the present invention, the rail has a curved shape, and the center of curvature thereof substantially coincides with the center of rotation of the device.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the length of the connecting member is constant, and at least one end thereof is rotatably engaged with the holder or the slider in the rotating direction of the device. It is characterized by being performed.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the invention, the length of the connecting member is adjustable.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, the rail is formed integrally with a cabinet of the equipment.
