Description

  The present invention relates to a mounting stand for an image display device.

  There are various types of image display devices. Among them, there are thin televisions using liquid crystal or plasma technology. As its name suggests, this flat-screen television has a short depth, but it may be attached to a wall surface in order to take advantage of its shape (in order to make a large indoor space). However, when attaching a flat-screen television to a wall surface, it is necessary to attach a mounting bracket to the wall surface as a matter of course.

  Therefore, by using the stand on which the image display device is installed, the wall surface is not damaged, the indoor space can be widened, and the wall can be at least prevented from falling backward by the wall surface. It can be said that it is extremely effective.

  Such a stand includes, for example, a vertical support member that supports a large display device and a horizontal support member that extends and contracts to the display device side in accordance with the vertical expansion and contraction amount of the support member. According to this stand, the entire mounting stand can be prevented from falling (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Further, as a stand to which another image display device is attached, there is a wall stand device in which two frames are erected on the left and right on a base plate on which the image display device is placed and a flat plate is provided on the back surface. According to this wall-adjusting stand device, a display device or the like can be installed on the wall without a feeling of protrusion (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

In other words, if you carry the entire stand with the image display device, it will be quite heavy, so it is not very easy, so you will need to move down the image display device placed on the stand once, When adjusting the installation position, etc., it was extremely inconvenient and convenient.

  In particular, when the image display device is moved to the wall, it is natural that the stand itself needs to be moved to the wall. Therefore, after the image display device is placed on the stand, there is a space behind the image display device. It gets blocked by the wall and becomes extremely narrow. In such a narrow space, wiring work (reception cable, various video recording devices, connection work between various receiving devices, etc. and an image display device, etc.) is very inconvenient and improvement has been desired. .

  If a caster is attached to the image display device mounting stand to make it movable, the above-described problems can be solved. However, at least the rearward fall is completely prevented by the wall surface. A new means to improve the stability is required by separating from the wall (If the stand is formed in advance so as to completely prevent the vehicle from falling backwards, the structure will be separated from the wall surface. However, simply attaching a caster did not improve the above problem.

  In addition, if the above-mentioned stand is reversed, if the orientation of the image display device is reversed, it is possible to prevent at least the backward fall. However, the horizontal support member expands and contracts depending on the installation height of the image display device. Therefore, the wall cannot be aligned.

  In addition, the latter stand is not configured to be movable like the former stand as described above, and is configured to be fixed to the wall surface using an anchor and an anchor bolt. It will hurt and some users will be hesitant.
