Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a securities company,
The present invention relates to a thin display stand suitable when a plurality of thin displays are used at the same time in a hospital, office, or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a stand for supporting a thin display, there have been proposed flat display devices described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-15680 and information monitor devices described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-326980.

The former flat display device is a device for supporting the flat display on the tip of a bendable arm portion, and the arm portion can be bent to adjust the position of the flat display supported on the tip portion. It is the one.

The latter information monitor device is a device in which both ends of a column are brought into contact with and fixed to a ceiling and a floor, and a thin plate-shaped information display unit is held on the column so that the vertical position can be adjusted.
In addition to supporting the information monitor using an articulated arm, this device can also directly connect the thin monitor to the column via a joint that bends vertically and horizontally.

[0005]

However, in the conventional stand for supporting a thin display, since each of them is a device that supports the thin display by using a bendable arm portion or an articulated arm, a plurality of thin displays are required. When simultaneously supporting the thin displays, a plurality of arms that support these thin displays are required. Therefore, in securities companies, hospitals, offices, etc., when one user uses multiple flat-panel displays at the same time and the layout of each flat-panel display is adjusted to a desired position, multiple arms are used. Is bulky behind the thin display, and each arm interferes with each other.
Therefore, when a plurality of thin displays are arranged side by side vertically or horizontally on one stand, it is not appropriate to use conventional bendable arms.

On the other hand, as in the latter information monitor device, a means for directly connecting the thin monitor to the column by using a joint bent vertically and horizontally has been proposed. In this case,
There is a problem with the strength of the joints that support thin monitors. That is, the weight of a thin display varies depending on the size of the screen, but the average of thin monitors commonly used in securities companies, hospitals, offices, etc.
The one of 10 kg is used. In order to adjust the angle of a thin display having such a weight in the vertical and horizontal directions and to fix the thin display at the adjusted position, a joint having a corresponding support strength is required.

However, since the structure of the joint proposed hitherto has a structure in which it is pivotally mounted via a swing shaft,
Even if you can adjust the vertical and horizontal angles of the thin display,
The thin display after adjustment may tilt due to its own weight. For this reason, it is difficult to fix the thin display as it is at the adjusted position. To keep the adjusted position as it is, some kind of locking mechanism or the aforementioned arms that can disperse the supporting load Use had become essential.

Therefore, the present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to support a plurality of thin displays in a laid-out manner, and further, the adjusted position can be fixed as it is. It is intended to provide a display stand.

The second means is to fix a supporting rod 50 mounted on the support column 20 substantially horizontally with the clamp body 30, and to attach a plurality of supporting bodies 40 to the supporting rod 50.

A third means is to sequentially embed a fixing nut 42B and a plurality of donut-shaped disc springs 42A formed in a flat conical shape inside the left and right side surfaces of the pivot bearing 42,
By tightening the fixing nut 42B with the tightening bolt 44 penetrating the plate-shaped hinge body 43, the plate-shaped hinge body 43 is fixed by the compressed disc spring 42A while being biased toward the pivot bearing 42 side.

A fourth means is to mount pivot plates 42 on the left and right side surfaces of the pivot bearings 42, which are used to seal the buried disc spring 42A inside the pivot bearings 42. The fastening of the fastening bolts 44 with the washer 46 made of synthetic resin between them is a means for solving the problem.
