Description

The present invention relates to a thin monitor device including a stand that can be stored compactly.

  In recent years, thin monitor devices typified by space-saving and lightweight liquid crystal display devices are often used as display devices for displaying images such as PC monitors and TV receivers. Many of the thin monitor devices have a monitor main body and a stand portion connected to the monitor main body. By arranging the stand on the horizontal surface of the installation unit using the stand unit, the monitor body is arranged on the installation unit while maintaining an upright state.

  The stand part has a leg part connected to the monitor main body and a base part provided on the opposite side of the leg part from the monitor main body. The leg is a columnar member protruding from the lower part of the monitor body. The base portion has a flat plate shape extending in the front-rear direction in order to prevent the monitor body from falling in the front-rear direction.

  The base part and the leg part are attached so as to form a predetermined angle. When the thin monitor device having the stand portion is packed with a packing material such as a corrugated cardboard, it is necessary to have a thickness that is greater than the length of the stand portion in the front-rear direction, and that much wasteful space is required. When the thin monitor device is circulated, if the thickness at the time of packing is large, a lot of cost is required for transportation.

  The base part and the leg part are attached so as to form a predetermined angle. When the thin monitor device having the stand portion is packed with a packing material such as a corrugated cardboard, it is necessary to have a thickness that is greater than the length of the stand portion in the front-rear direction, and that much wasteful space is required. When the thin monitor device is circulated, if the thickness at the time of packing is large, a lot of cost is required for transportation.

  In view of this, in some cases, the stand portion is formed so as to be removable in order to reduce the thickness at the time of packing. The thickness at the time of packing can be made thin by removing the said stand part which causes the thickness at the time of packing, and packing it with the said monitor main body.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-311852 describes a flat monitor stand having a first base and a second base that can be attached to and detached from the first base. By pulling out the second base from the first base, the contact area in contact with the installation surface can be increased, and by storing the second base in the first base, the volume of the stand is reduced. Is possible. Thereby, the bulk of the packing material when the flat monitor is packed can be reduced.

  Even in the case of a thin monitor device having a detachable stand part, the base part and the leg part are provided, and the base part and the leg part extend in three-dimensionally different directions. It is a member. Even when the stand portion is disassembled, the thickness at the time of packing may be difficult to reduce. Therefore, some of the legs are formed so that they can be bent, but a bent portion such as a hinge must be formed. In addition, a special fixing structure must be formed in the bent portion so that the angle of the liquid crystal display device with respect to the viewer is constant, and the shape is complicated or compared with those that cannot be bent. ) More parts are needed and manufacturing and assembly are expensive.

  In the case of a flat monitor stand described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-311852, the second base can be stored in the first base, so that the size of the stand can be reduced. However, when the flat monitor is held in a state where the flat monitor is tilted to the back side, much of the force due to the weight of the flat monitor acts on the second base. Since the first base and the second base are formed so as to be pulled out, the first base and the second base may not have sufficient strength to support the force due to the weight of the flat monitor. Further, in recent years, the flat monitor tends to be large, the weight of the flat monitor is also large, and the flat monitor may not be stably supported by the second base.
