By the way, when a case for protecting the surface of the screen display unit is used when the television receiver is not used, there is a problem in that it is necessary to remove the protective case when watching a television broadcast, which impairs convenience.
Further, even when the protective case is devised as described in Patent Document 1, the operation unit is operated through the protective case, and there is a problem that the certainty of the operation is impaired.
Furthermore, since an antenna is usually required for a television receiver, and there is a part for removing a battery or the like when it is portable, there remains a problem that the structure of the case becomes complicated in order to use the above protective case. To do.

  On the other hand, when viewing a television broadcast, it is necessary to install the screen display unit of the television receiver at an optimum angle so that it can be easily seen. However, when using any of the conventional methods, a dedicated stand is required when watching TV broadcasts, so that the merchandise of small and light weight that portability is impaired, or when watching TV broadcasts without a stand There was a problem that it was necessary to devise such as leaning something on the television receiver itself.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and does not require a special case or bag for the purpose of protecting the display surface, and can be installed at an angle at which the display surface can be easily viewed when viewing a television broadcast. The purpose is to provide.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises the following means.
That is,
A television receiver having a screen display unit for displaying an image, a pair of receiving antennas, and a housing,
The screen display unit is arranged and fixed on the front side of the housing,
The pair of receiving antennas are positioned via the screen display unit arranged and fixed on the front surface side of the housing, are respectively attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the housing, and from the upper and lower surface sides of the housing It is attached so as to be foldable and unfoldable toward the front side, and not to contact the screen display unit when folded.
Each of the reception antennas constituting the pair of reception antennas is attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the casing so as to be rotatable in all directions and fixed at a desired angular position. A television receiver.

According to the “television receiver” of the present invention, it has a pair of antennas equipped with a cushioning material and a stopper for preventing the antenna from directly contacting the screen display unit, and the mounting structure is the antenna and television reception. Since the projector can rotate around the mounting part, the antenna can be stored or carried in the state that the antenna is folded to the image display side of the screen display part when the television receiver is not used. It is possible to provide a television receiver that protects the screen display unit only by the main body.
Further, when the television receiver is used, a television receiver that can be installed at the best receiving position for broadcasting and any viewing posture can be provided by adjusting the rotation of the antenna unit.
Furthermore, as described above, the television receiver is not only installed in an arbitrary viewing posture, but also has a structure in which the antenna unit can be fixed to a viewing place using means such as a band or a string as a guide mechanism. Machine can be provided.

The best mode for carrying out the invention of the television receiver according to the present invention will be described below with reference to preferred embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a schematic external perspective view showing a configuration of a television receiver applied to this embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the television receiver 1 has a U-shaped upper antenna 2, a pair of lower antennas 3, and a structure in which the antenna 2 and the antenna 3 can be freely rotated and folded. It comprises the parts 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, the buffer material 5 superposed on the central part of each antenna, the liquid crystal screen 6, the channel selectors 7a, 7b, the volumes 8a, 8b, and the speaker part 9.

  A relatively soft cushioning material 5 such as rubber, elastomer, sponge or the like is formed by polymerization and integration at the center of the antenna 2 and the antenna 3. The antenna 2 and the antenna 3 are supported by two sets of support portions 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d with respect to the main body of the television receiver 1 and are freely rotatable. The material 5 and the liquid crystal screen 6 have a structure that can be folded up to a contact position.

  The antenna 2 and the antenna 3 themselves are capable of receiving terrestrial analog broadcasts and terrestrial digital broadcasts that are expected to become popular in the future. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which can receive satellite broadcasting etc. for mobile bodies other than the above.

FIG. 1 shows a state where the television receiver 1 is not used as a television during movement or storage, and the antenna 2 and the antenna 3 are attached to the main body so as to protect the surface of the liquid crystal screen 6. On the other hand, the two sets of support portions 4a, 4b and 4c, 4d are rotated and fixed to a position where they abut against the antenna stopper 10 about the shaft. The surface of the liquid crystal screen 6 is scratched by the two antennas 2, the antennas 3, and the buffer material 5 that is polymerized and integrated at the center of each antenna even if it is inadvertently dropped or bumped against other objects. It can be prevented from turning on. As shown in the figure as a whole, it is small and compact.
