As shown in FIG. 1, the attachment members 3A and 3B are attached to the back surface 2 of the PDP 1 in a direction in which their longitudinal directions are substantially horizontal and the V-shaped bent portion is located on the upper side. As a result, one end of each of the mounting members 3A and 3B projects obliquely downward from the back surface 2 of the PDP 1.

The mounting member 4 is a pair of mounting members 4A and 4A.
It consists of B. Each of the mounting members 4A and 4B is formed by bending a metal plate so that its cross section has a V shape. As shown in FIG. 1, the attachment members 4A and 4B are attached to a wall surface or the like in a direction in which their longitudinal directions are substantially horizontal and the V-shaped bent portion is located on the lower side. As a result, one end of each of the mounting members 4A and 4B projects obliquely upward from the wall surface or the like.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing a fitting portion of the mounting members 3A and 4A. As shown in FIG. 2, a slit 5 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the mounting member 3A at a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the mounting member 3A, which is a bent portion of the mounting member 3A. Although illustration is omitted, a slit having a similar shape is formed in the mounting member 3B at the same position as the mounting member 3A.

At the one end of the mounting member 4A,
A protrusion 6 corresponding to the slit 5 of the mounting member 3A is formed in the central portion of the mounting member 3A in the longitudinal direction. Although illustration is omitted, the mounting member 4B is formed with a protrusion having the same shape at the same position as the mounting member 4A.

Next, a procedure for mounting the PDP 1 on a wall surface or the like will be described. Place the PDP 1 close to the wall surface, etc.
When the PDP 1 is lowered from a position where the one end of A is located above the one end of the mounting member 4A, the one end of the mounting member 3A is inserted into the recess of the mounting member 4A. 3A and mounting member 4A are engaged (fitted). Further, at this time, the mounting members 3B and the mounting member 4B are similarly fitted. Thus, the mounting member 3A and the mounting member 4A, and the mounting member 3B and the mounting member 4B.
When and are respectively fitted, the vertical direction of the PDP 1 is positioned. Therefore, there is no possibility that the PDP 1 will fall even if the hand is released from the PDP 1. afterwards,
When the PDP 1 is displaced in the left-right direction using the mounting brackets 3 and 4 as guides, the slit 5 of the mounting member 3A is moved to the mounting member 4A
When the projection 6 comes directly above the projection 6, the projection 6 is fitted (inserted) in the slit 5 to position the mounting member 3A in the left-right direction. Similarly, when the slit of the mounting member 3B comes directly above the protrusion of the mounting member 4B, the protrusion fits into (is inserted into) the slit to position the mounting member 3B in the left-right direction. As a result, the PDP is positioned both vertically and horizontally.

As described above, in this embodiment, the heavy P
It is not necessary to position the DP1 at the same time in the vertical and horizontal directions, and it is sufficient to position only the vertical direction first. Therefore, the PDP 1 can be easily attached to a predetermined position.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the mounting device. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, a recess 7 is formed in a portion of the mounting member 41A, which replaces the mounting member 4A, to be fitted with a mounting member 31A, which replaces the mounting member 3A. The length of the mounting member 41A in the substantially horizontal direction is equal to that of the mounting member 3A.

7 and 8 are views showing still another embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, one end of the mounting member 3A and one end of the mounting member 11 are mounted and fixed to the fixing member 23, and the other end of the mounting member 3A and one end of the mounting member 11 are fixed by the fixing member 25. Attach and fix to. A slit 24 having a substantially vertical direction as a longitudinal direction is provided on a surface of the fixing member 23 that is perpendicular to the display surface of the PDP 1. In addition, a slit 26 having a substantially vertical direction as a longitudinal direction is provided on a surface of the attachment fixing member 25 which is perpendicular to the display surface of the PDP 1.

As shown in FIG. 8, a mounting member 42 having a substantially V-shaped cross section and a mounting member 12 having a substantially L-shaped cross section are mounted on the wall surface or the like. The mounting member 42 and the mounting member 12 are fixed to each other by the fixing member 14 and the fixing member 15.

Each of the fixing member 14 and the fixing member 15 has a storage portion 16 and a slide portion 17 slidably attached to the storage portion 16 and biased to the left in FIG. 7B. A mounting jig 50 consisting of is attached. A handle 18 is attached to the slide portion 17.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the mounting member 3A and the mounting member 11 are used when mounting the PDP 1 on a wall surface or the like.
Is fitted to the mounting member 4A and the mounting member 10 on the wall surface side, the sliding portion 17 is inserted into the slit 24, and the fixing member 14 is not separated from the fixing member 23 even if the wall surface or the like is inclined. Also stops in a direction substantially horizontal to the wall surface. Similarly, the fixing member 15 is fixed to the fixing member 25.

When the PDP 1 is removed from the wall surface or the like, the handle 18 is pulled outward in parallel with the wall surface so that the slide portion 1
7 is pulled out from the slits 24 and 26, and then P
Lift DP1 upwards. As a result, the mounting member 3A
The fitting of the mounting member 10 and
1 can be separated from a wall surface or the like.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing still another embodiment. This embodiment includes an angle adjusting mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 9, the angle adjusting mechanism includes a pair of members 32 (only one is shown in the drawing) attached to the wall surface, and a pair of members rotatably attached to the member 32 via a hinge portion 31. Member 40 (only one is shown in the figure).

In this embodiment, the structure shown in FIG.
Attach to 0. That is, the mounting member 42 of FIG. 8 is attached to the member 4 by bolts through the mounting holes 29 and 19.
Attach to 0. Further, the mounting member 12 of FIG. 8 is mounted on the member 40 with bolts through the mounting holes 30 and 27. Although not shown here, the mounting hole 20 of the mounting member 42 and the mounting hole 28 of the mounting member 12 are similarly mounted to the member 40 (not shown) with bolts (not shown).

As described above, the member 40 is connected to the member 32 by the hinge portion 31, and the member 40 can freely rotate with respect to the member 32. The member 33 is rotatably attached to the member 40 via a hinge portion 34. The screw 35 connects the member 32 and the member 33, and if the screw 35 is tightened tightly, the member 32 and the member 3 are connected.
3 is fixed, and when the tightening of the screw 35 is weakened, the screw 35 can move along the slit 36 formed in the member 32. When the screw 35 is moved within the range of the slit 36, the angle α between the member 40 and the member 33 changes freely, and the screw can be tightened at an arbitrary position (arbitrary angle α). That is, the member 32 and the member 40 attached to the wall surface or the like
The PDP 1 that moves together with the PDP 1 is attached at an arbitrary angle α from a wall surface or the like.

That is, the angle α represents the angle between the PDP 1 and the wall surface or the like, and the inclination angle α of the PDP 1 can be adjusted and fixed by the screw 35. The angle adjusting mechanism of the present embodiment can be applied to each of the above embodiments.
