DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a monitor suspending apparatus for installing a monitor such as a television receiver or a display while suspending the monitor from a ceiling or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional monitor hanging device, there is a "television hanger" disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-41286. As shown in FIG. 6, the television hanger includes a hanging portion 101 and a hanger body 102. Hanging part 10
Reference numeral 1 denotes a support plate 104 connected and fixed to a lower end of a suspension pipe 103 suspended from a ceiling or the like, and a substantially L-shaped arm 105 attached downward from both sides of the support plate 104. The hanger main body 102 connects the vertical sides of the substantially L-shaped both side plates 106 to the vertical sides of the arms 105 of the hanging parts 101, and connects the lower sides of the both side plates 106 to the bottom plate 10.
It is connected and fixed at 7.

On both side plates 106 of the hanger body 102, upper and lower holes 108a and 108b are fixed to upper and lower two holes 109a and 109b of the arm 105 with screws 110. The hole 108a of the side plate 106 to which the upper screw 110 is attached is formed in an arc shape centering on the lower screw 110. Thus, the hanger body 102 is connected to the arm 105 so as to be tiltable about the lower screw 110.

[0004] Above both side plates 106 of the hanger body 102, a fixing bracket 111 for locking to the upper edge of the television T (monitor) and a front holding bracket 112 for locking to the front edge of the television T.
Is attached. The fixing bracket 111 is formed by bending a metal rod, and has two legs 111b extending in parallel downward from a substantially triangular locking portion 111a that locks to the upper edge of the television. Then, the fixing bracket 111 is attached to the leg 11.
1b is screwed to the side plate 106 so as to be vertically movable and the height of the locking portion 111a can be adjusted. The front holding member 112 is formed by bending a metal plate or the like into a substantially L shape in plan view. One side 112a parallel to the side plate 106 is movable to the side plate 106 in the front-rear direction and is screwed together with the fixing bracket 111 so that the front-back position of the other side 112b locked to the front edge of the television T can be adjusted.

[0005] With the above configuration, the conventional monitor suspending device has a television T on the bottom plate 107 of the hanger body 102.
Is placed, and the upper edge of the television T is pressed by the fixing bracket 111,
The front edge of the television T is pressed by the front presser fitting 112. Then, the TV T is set to an arbitrary angle (for example, a state in which the screen of the TV T faces downward) by tilting the hanger body 102 with respect to the hanging portion 101.

[0006]

However, in the above-described conventional monitor hanging apparatus, the hanger main body 102 is tilted with respect to the hanging section 101, and this state is maintained by the hanging section 101. Both arms 105,
Two screws 110 for fixing the two side plates 106 of the hanger body 102 respectively. Further, in both side plates 106, upper holes 108a are formed in an arc shape centering on lower screws 110. As a result, a force is always applied to each screw 110 in a direction to return the hanger body 102 to the original position (the bottom plate 107 is in a horizontal position). There was a risk of returning to the position. In particular, since the television T suspended from the ceiling is large and heavy, it is difficult to support a state in which the weight is tilted with two screws 110.

[0007] The television set T mounted on the hanger body 102 is held by the fixing bracket 111 and the front holding bracket 11.
2. The fixing metal 111 and the front holding metal 112
Are fixed to both side plates 106 of the hanger body 102 with screws, and press the upper edge and the front edge of the television T, respectively. Therefore, the pressed parts of the television T are the front upper edge and the upper front edge, that is, the corners on the front side. Thus, there is a problem that the television T cannot be stably pressed because the position where the television T is pressed is biased toward the front side.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a monitor suspension device capable of stably supporting a monitor in a tilted state in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
