  Usually, such a fastening operation is very troublesome and cannot be borne by the user. Therefore, it is desirable to assemble a thin display device and a stand in advance before packing. However, when assembled in this manner, the packaging size of the thin display device increases. This leads to an increase in the cost of the packaging box.

  In addition, if the packaging box becomes large, it cannot be loaded in a large amount in a container or the like. Therefore, the transportation cost also increases. Such an increase in cost may be reflected in the price of the thin display device.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above situation. An object of the present invention is to provide a stand for a thin display device and the like required for realizing the downsizing of the packing box.

  The present invention is a thin display device stand including a cover portion that protects a support portion that supports the thin display device by being connected to the thin display device, and a pedestal portion that is removable from the cover portion. . In such a stand for a thin display device, the cover portion includes a protruding plate protruding from the outer wall of the cover portion, and the pedestal portion protrudes from one surface of itself and bends in the middle to provide a protruding plate between the one surface. A holding body that generates a gap to be sandwiched is included.

  In addition, when the protruding plate is to be sandwiched between the gaps, it is desirable that the portion of the outer edge of the protruding plate that first contacts the gap is tapered. In particular, it is desirable that the outer edge portion of the tapered protruding plate includes a flat surface or a curved surface.

  Further, the holding body includes an extending piece facing one surface of the pedestal portion, and a recess is formed on the inner surface of the extending piece in contact with the gap, and the extending piece is formed by a protruding plate sandwiched between the gaps. It is desirable that a projecting end that fits into the recess is formed on the top surface of the plate facing the plate.

  In addition, it is desirable that the protruding end has a shape tapered toward the tip. For example, the protrusion end has a tapered shape in which the protrusion side surface, which is its own side surface, is inclined by narrowing the area of the protrusion tip surface, which is the surface of its own tip, than the protrusion root surface, which is its own base surface. There may be (especially it is desirable that the side surface of the protrusion is a flat surface or a curved surface).

  As yet another example, the protruding end may be tapered by including a curved surface at its tip end surface.

  Further, when the projecting plate is to be sandwiched between the gaps, it is desirable that the portion that first contacts the projecting plate at the outer edge of the extended piece in contact with the gap is tapered. It is more desirable that the outer edge portion of the tapered extending piece includes a flat surface or a curved surface.

  In addition, when the projecting plate is to be sandwiched between the gaps, the first part of the recess that contacts the projecting end on the edge side of the open surface is inclined so that the obtuse angle with respect to the inner surface of the extension piece. It is desirable. It is more desirable that the inclined edge side surface includes a flat surface or a curved surface.

  Further, the holding body includes an extending piece facing one surface of the pedestal portion, and an opening is formed in a portion of the one surface facing the extending piece, and the protruding plate has a ridge that fits into the opening. It is desirable when the body is formed.

  When the protruding plate is to be sandwiched between the gaps, it is desirable that the portion of the raised body that first contacts the opening at the outer edge is inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to the raised top surface of the raised body (particularly It is desirable that the outer edge portion of the ridge includes a flat surface or a curved surface).

  In addition, when the protruding plate is to be sandwiched between the gaps, it is desirable that the portion that first contacts the raised body at the edge side surface of the opening surface of the opening is inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to one surface of the pedestal portion. (In particular, it is desirable that the inclined edge side portion includes a flat surface or a curved surface).

  Note that a thin display device on which the above-described stand for a thin display device is mounted can also be said to be the present invention.

  According to the present invention, the stand can be detached from the liquid crystal television. Therefore, for example, packaging is possible in a state where the liquid crystal television and the stand are separated, and the size of the packaging box is reduced. Therefore, the cost of the packaging box can be reduced, and furthermore, a large amount of the reduced packaging box can be loaded on the container of the transporting machine such as a truck, so that the transportation cost can be reduced.

  The perspective view of FIG. 20 shows a liquid crystal television (thin display device) 90. The liquid crystal television 90 is supported by a stand (thin display device stand) SD.

  FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the stand SD. As shown in this figure, the stand SD includes a support part 11, a cover part 21, and a pedestal part 61.

  The support part 11 is made of metal, for example, and is a member that supports the liquid crystal television 90 by being connected to the liquid crystal television 90. Specifically, the support unit 11 includes a support 12 that is directly attached to the bottom of the liquid crystal television 90 and a support base 13 that rotatably supports the support 12.

  The cover portion 21 is a member that protects the support portion 11. The cover top surface 23 has an exposed hole 22 that exposes a part of the support portion 11 (support body 12), and an outer wall 24 that surrounds the cover top surface 23. And a protruding plate 31 protruding from the outer wall 24.

  The pedestal portion 61 includes a main body 62, a recess portion 63 (a top-side recess portion 63 a and a bottom-side recess portion 63 b), and a holding body 71. The main body 62 is a main member of the pedestal portion 61, and the dent portion 63 is a dent formed on both the top surface (the pedestal top surface 62 a) and the bottom surface (the pedestal bottom surface 62 b) of the main body 62.

  Here, the cover part 21 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the cover top surface 23, and FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the outer wall 24. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of the cover part 21 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB ′ showing the cover part 21 shown in FIG. . 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C ′ showing the cover portion 21 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the cover portion 21 in which the support portion 11 is accommodated.

  A direction in which the outer wall 24 extends from the cover top surface 23 is defined as an extending direction E. Further, the longitudinal direction of the cover top surface 23 is defined as a longitudinal direction L, and the short direction of the cover top surface 23 is defined as a short direction S.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 5 to 7, the cover portion 21 includes a cylindrical outer wall 24 and a cover top surface 23 that closes an edge of the outer wall 24. And space SS enclosed by the outer wall 24 and the cover top surface 23 accommodates the support part 11, as shown in FIG. And the support body 12 which is one end of the support part 11 is exposed from the exposed opening 22 of the cover top surface 23 (In addition, the cover part 21 is accommodated, fixing the support part 11).

  Further, the protruding plate 31 protrudes from the outer wall 24. Specifically, the protruding plate 31 protrudes along the longitudinal direction L, for example, in the vicinity of the bottom edge (the hem of the outer wall 24) of the outer wall 24 extending from the short side of the cover top surface 23. Further, the surface of the protruding plate 31 and the cover top surface 23 are in a parallel relationship (however, the shape of the protruding plate 31 is not particularly limited).

  And the member which clamps this protrusion plate 31 is the holding body 71 formed in the base part 61. FIG. Therefore, the pedestal portion 61 including the holding body 71 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a pedestal top surface 62a of the main body 62 of the pedestal portion 61, and FIG. 9 is a plan view showing a pedestal bottom surface 62b on the back side of the pedestal top surface 62a. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line D-D ′ of the pedestal portion 61 shown in FIG. 8, and FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a state where the cover portion 21 is close to the top side recessed portion 63.

  As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, the dent top surface 62a is formed with a top side recessed portion 63a. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the base bottom surface 62b is formed with a bottom side recess portion 63b located on the back side of the top side recess portion 63a. And these top side hollow part 63a and bottom side hollow part 63b are hollow to such an extent that the thick part of the main body 62 pinched by both hollow parts 63a * 63b is made into plate shape.

  Further, a holding body 71 is formed in the depression 63 (specifically, so as to protrude from the top depression 63a). The holding body 71 generates a gap F between the projecting piece 72 projecting from the top-side recessed portion 63a which is also one surface of the pedestal 61 and the top-side recessed portion 63a by extending from the tip of the projecting piece 72. An extension piece 73.

  And this clearance gap F is set so that the thickness of the protrusion plate 31 can be clamped. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the clearance F and the protruding plate 31 can be fitted together by the rotation of the cover portion 21 (see the direction of the arrow R). Therefore, the base part 61 and the cover part 21 are connected.

  Therefore, such a stand SD can be attached to the liquid crystal television 90 itself only when the liquid crystal television 90 is installed. Conversely, the stand SD may be detached from the liquid crystal television 90 except when the liquid crystal television 90 is installed. That is, the stand SD can be attached to and detached from the liquid crystal television 90.

  Therefore, for example, packaging is possible in a state where the liquid crystal television 90 attached with the cover portion 21 to which the support portion 11 is attached and the pedestal portion 61 are separated, and the size of the packaging box is reduced. Then, the cost reduction of the packaging box which became small can be aimed at. In addition, if the packaging box is reduced in size, it can be loaded in a larger amount than a container of a transport machine such as a truck, so that the transportation cost can be reduced.

  Moreover, the cover part 21 and the base part 61 in this stand SD are connected, without using fastening members, such as a screw. Therefore, the stand SD is attached to the liquid crystal television 90 without imposing a burden on the user or the like.

  In order to strengthen the connection between the pedestal portion 61 and the cover portion 21, the protruding plate 31 has a protruding end BG on the front surface 31 a (see FIGS. 2 to 4 and 6), and an extended piece. It is desirable that a recess VY into which the projection end BG fits is formed on one surface (inner surface) 74 on the side facing the top recess 63a at 73 (see FIGS. 8 to 10). Further, in the protruding plate 31, a raised body PE is formed on the back surface 31b (see FIGS. 2 to 4 and 5), and a portion of the pedestal portion 61 that faces the extension piece 73 at the top side recessed portion 63a. It is desirable that an opening HL into which the raised body PE fits is formed (see FIGS. 8 to 10).

  In this case, after rotating in the direction of arrow R as shown in FIG. 11, the cover portion 21 and the pedestal portion 61 are cross-sectional views of FIG. 12 (cross-sections seen from the same direction as the cross-sectional views of FIGS. 4 and 10). ), The protruding end BG included in the cover portion 21 fits into the recess VY included in the pedestal portion 61, and the raised body PE included in the cover portion 21 fits into the opening HL included in the pedestal portion 61. Therefore, the cover part 21 is difficult to move in the in-plane direction of the top side recessed part 63a and the bottom side recessed part 63b (in short, the cover part 21 is immovable with respect to the pedestal part 61).

[Other embodiments]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, when the protruding plate 31 is to be sandwiched in the gap F generated in the holding body 71, as shown in FIG. 13, the portion 32 that first contacts the gap F at the outer edge of the protruding plate 31 is tapered. It is desirable. This is because the thickness of the portion 32 is shorter than the length of the gap F so that the protruding plate 31 can easily enter the gap F.

  In FIG. 14, both the top surface 31 a and the bottom surface 31 b of the protrusion plate 31 are inclined so that the outer edge portion 32 of the protruding plate 31 is tapered. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one of the top surface 31a and the bottom surface 31b of the protruding plate 31 may be inclined so that the outer edge portion 32 of the protruding plate 31 is tapered.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, it is desirable that the protruding end BG is tapered toward the tip. This is because the projecting end BG moves smoothly on the inner side surface 74 of the extending piece 73 and easily reaches the recess VY.

  As an example of such a tapered projecting end BG, the area of the projecting tip surface BGa, which is the surface of the projecting end BG, as shown in FIG. The protrusion side surface BGc, which is the side surface of the protrusion end BG, is inclined by being narrower than the protrusion root surface BGb. (The protrusion side surface BGc is not limited to a flat surface as shown in FIG. May be).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the portion PE1 that first contacts the opening HL at the outer edge of the raised body PE is inclined at an obtuse angle (δ) with respect to the raised top surface PEa of the raised body PE. It is desirable. If it becomes like this, it is for the protruding body PE to move smoothly on the top side hollow part 63a, and to reach the opening HL easily.

  However, the outer edge portion PE1 of the raised body PE is not limited to a plane as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, and may be a curved surface as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the outer edge portion 32 of the tapered protruding plate 31 is not limited to a flat surface but may be a curved surface, and the tapered protruding end BG has a curved surface on the protruding tip surface BGa. It may be included.

  Further, when the projecting plate 31 is to be sandwiched between the gaps F, as shown in FIG. 16, the projecting plate 31 is formed at the outer edge of the extension piece 73 (particularly the inner side surface 74 of the extension piece 73) in contact with the gap F. Desirably, the first contacting portion 77 is tapered. This is because the entrance of the gap F widens and the protruding plate 31 easily enters the gap F.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the portion VYaa that first contacts the protruding end BG at the edge side surface of the open surface VYa in the recess VY has an obtuse angle (θ) with respect to the inner side surface 74 of the extension piece 73. It is desirable to be inclined to. This is because the open surface YYa that is the entrance of the recess VY is widened and the protrusion end BG is easily slid into the recess VY.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the portion HLia that first contacts the raised body PE at the edge side surface of the entrance surface HLi of the opening HL is obtuse with respect to the top side recessed portion 63 a that is one surface of the pedestal portion 61 ( It is desirable to be inclined to Γ). This is because the entrance surface HLi of the opening HL spreads and the raised body PE easily slides into the opening HL.

  In addition, the portion HLia on the edge side surface of the inclined opening HL is not limited to a plane as shown in FIG. 18, and may be a curved surface as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the outer edge portion 77 of the tapered extending piece 73 is not limited to a flat surface but may be a curved surface, and the inclined edge side surface portion VYaa of the recess VY is also a flat surface. It is not limited to this, and it may be a curved surface.

  By the way, in the above, there are two sets of the projecting end BG and the recess VY into which the projecting end BG fits, and there are also two sets with the raised body PE and the opening HL into which the raised body PE fits. It is not limited to.

  That is, the number of projection ends BG in the projection plate 31 and the number of depressions VY in the extension piece 73 are not particularly limited, and the number of the projection ends BG and the depressions VY may be one or three or more. Good. In addition, the number of raised bodies PE in the projection plate 31 and the number of openings HL in the pedestal portion 61 are not particularly limited, and the number of the pairs of raised bodies PE and openings HL may be three or more. May be.

  Further, the position of the projecting end BG in the protruding plate 31 and the position of the recess VY in the extending piece 72 are not particularly limited. In short, when the protruding plate 31 is to be sandwiched between the gaps F, the protruding end BG and the recess VY need only be fitted together.

  Similarly, the position of the raised body PE in the protruding plate 31 and the position of the opening HL in the pedestal portion 61 are not particularly limited. In short, when the protruding plate 31 is to be sandwiched between the gaps F, the raised body PE and the opening HL need only be fitted together.

  Finally, it goes without saying that embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the techniques disclosed above are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
