The operation lock release lever 57 is connected to the panel mounting member 5 so as to be rotatable about the front-rear axis indicated by the arrow d in FIG. 8, and the operation lock release lever 57 is disposed on the upper back of the display panel 3. Is done. The operation lock release lever 57 is provided with the operation lock release operation portion 41 protruding upward.

  A connecting portion 58 is provided at the lower end located on the opposite side of the operation lock release operation portion 41 across the rotation center portion of the operation lock release lever 57. The connecting portion 58 is disposed at a position where the distance from the rotation center of the operation lock release lever 57 is shorter than that of the operation lock release operation portion 41. The connecting portion 58 is connected to the friction members 45a and 45b through a connecting mechanism.

  The connecting mechanism is provided on the panel mounting member 5 on the left and right sides of the rear surface of the panel mounting member 5, and a slide tool 60 that is slidable in the horizontal direction indicated by the arrow e in FIG. It is comprised with the link body 61 provided so that rotation in the periphery direction of the front-back axis | shaft shown by the arrow f in FIG.

  A slide shaft 62 that protrudes in the front-rear direction is provided at an intermediate portion in the left-right direction of the slide tool 60. The slide shaft 62 is loosely inserted into a vertically long elongated hole 59 formed in the connecting portion 58, whereby the slide tool 60 moves to the left and right according to the turning operation of the operation lock release lever 57.

  The link body 61 is provided at each of the left and right two positions on the both sides of the slide tool 60, for a total of four positions, and the first moving member 64a in which the slide tool 60 and the first friction member 45a are provided by the two left link bodies 61 is provided. The second moving member 64b provided with the slide tool 60 and the second friction member 45b is connected by the two link bodies 61 on the right side.

  Each link body 61 is formed in a square shape when viewed from the front, and a bent portion thereof is pivotally supported by the panel mounting member 5. The upper and lower ends of each link body 61 are provided with shafts 66 a and 66 b protruding in the front-rear direction, and the upper shaft 66 a is loosely inserted into a vertically long vertical slide hole 65 provided at the end of the slide tool 60. The lower shaft 66b is loosely inserted into a horizontally long horizontal slide hole 67 provided in the corresponding moving member 64a, 64b.

  In this way, by connecting the connecting portion 58 of the operation lock release lever 57 and the moving members 64a and 64b by the connecting mechanism, the moving members 64a and 64b move up and down in accordance with the turning operation of the operation lock release lever 57. Operate.

  One end of a spring 68 constituting a biasing means is connected to the shaft 66a of one link body 61 of the two link bodies 61 provided for each of the moving members 64a and 64b, and the other end of each spring 68 is connected. Is fixed to the panel mounting member 5, whereby a biasing force is always applied to the slide tool 60 in a direction to move to the left side.

  7 and 8, when the operation unlocking operation portion 41 is operated to the left (right side of the paper) against the biasing force of the spring 68 and the operation unlocking lever 57 is rotated counterclockwise. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the slide tool 60 moves to the right side together with the connecting portion 58 of the operation lock release lever 57, and the shaft 66 a of each link body 61 is pushed to the right side by the slide tool 60. Then, each link body 61 rotates clockwise around the bent portion, and the moving members 64a and 64b are pulled up while maintaining the horizontal state on the shaft 66b of each link body 61. As a result, the friction members 45a and 45b are raised, and the operation lock state by the operation lock means is released.

  Further, when in the unlocked state shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the slide tool 60 is biased in the direction of moving to the left by the springs 68. For this reason, when the operating force applied to the operation lock release operation unit 41 is removed from the operation lock release operation unit 41 by the hand operating the operation lock release operation unit 41, the sliding force is applied by the spring force of each spring 68. The tool 60 moves to the left. Then, each link body 61 rotates counterclockwise around the bent portion, and the moving members 64a and 64b are pushed down by the shaft 66b of each link body 61 while maintaining the horizontal state. As a result, the friction members 45a and 45b descend and automatically enter the operation locked state.

  At the same time, when the connecting portion 58 is pushed to the left by the slide shaft 62 of the slide tool 60 that moves to the left, the operation lock release lever 57 rotates clockwise and before the operation lock is released as shown in FIGS. Automatically return to the initial position.

  Thus, in this example, the connecting portion 58 is a receiving portion that receives the biasing force of the spring 68, and the operation is performed when the operating force received by the operation unlocking operation portion 41 is lost by the biasing force of the spring 68 that the connecting portion 58 receives. The lock release lever 57 is returned to the initial position before the operation lock is released. That is, the self-operation locking means is constituted by the coupling mechanism and each spring 68. By this self-operation locking means, forgetting to enter the operation locked state after changing the position and orientation of the panel mounting member 5, the panel mounting member 5 is maintained in the operation unlocked state unintentionally. Can be prevented.

  Although the spring 68 in this example is a tension spring, a compression spring may be used as a spring serving as a driving source for the operation of the self-operation locking means. Further, the drive source for the operation of the self-operation lock means may be constituted by an elastic body other than the spring.

  In addition, the operation lock release functioning as an operation portion for releasing the operation lock state is provided on the upper rear portion of the panel mounting member 5 so that the operation lock release lever 57 in the initial position is in an operation lock state incapable of operation. A lever 69 is connected so as to be rotatable in the direction around the front-rear axis shown by the arrow g in FIG. The operation lock release lever 69 is also arranged on the upper back of the display panel 3 supported by the panel mounting member 5.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the operation lock release lever 69 is located on the left side of the operation lock release lever 57, and the operation lock release operation portion 56 is provided on the operation lock release lever 69 so as to protrude upward. A notch 70 that opens to the right and an inclined edge 71 that extends obliquely downward to the left from the right end of the lower edge of the notch 70 are formed below the center of rotation of the operation unlocking lever 69. Yes.

  On the other hand, the operation lock release lever 57 is formed with a projecting piece portion 72 that protrudes to the left side, and the projecting end portion of the projecting piece portion 72 can be pivoted around the front-rear axis as a fitting portion 73 that can be fitted into the cutout portion 70. A roller is provided.

  In the operation lock state by the operation lock means, as shown in FIG. 11A, the operation lock release lever 69 is disposed at the initial position, and the operation lock release operation portion 56 of the operation lock release lever 69 faces right above. Yes. In this state, the fitting portion 73 is fitted into the cutout portion 70, and the downward movement of the fitting portion 73 is prevented by the lower portion of the cutout portion 70, and the operation lock release lever 57 is moved to the operation lock release lever 69. The operation lock state is fixed so that it cannot be operated. That is, in this example, the operation lock release lever 69 constitutes an operation lock means.

  In this operation lock state, the operation lock release operation portion 56 is operated diagonally upward right (inclined leftward on the page) indicated by the arrow h in FIG. When the rotation is performed, the fitting portion 73 is detached from the notch portion 70 and the operation lock state is released as shown in FIG. In this operation lock release state, the operation lock release lever 57 is in a state in which the initial position is maintained by the spring force of each spring 68, but is rotated counterclockwise as the operation lock release direction by the operation of the operation lock release operation unit 41. In other words, as shown in FIG. 11C, the operation lock release lever 57 is operated to release the operation lock state by the operation lock means.

  In this way, in this example, the operation lock state by the operation lock means can be released by a two-stage operation of operating the operation lock release operation unit 41 after operating the operation lock release operation unit 56. It is possible to prevent the operation lock of the panel mounting member 5 from being released due to mischief or the like. It is also possible to prevent the operation lock of the panel mounting member 5 from being released unintentionally due to a part of the body coming into contact with the operation lock release operation portion 41 during cleaning or the like. Further, the operation unlocking operation unit 41 and the operation unlocking operation unit 56 are located on the back of the display panel 3 supported by the panel mounting member 5 so that they are inconspicuous and are not easily reachable by short children. Has been placed. For this reason, the operation lock release operation unit 41 and the operation lock release operation unit 56 can further prevent the operation lock of the panel mounting member 5 from being released due to mischief or the like.

  If the operation lock release lever 57 is operated in the release direction to release the operation lock by the operation lock means as shown in FIG. 11C in the operation lock release state, the operation lock release lever 69 becomes the operation lock release lever. It is not supported by 57 and rotates to its initial position by its own weight as shown in FIG. Then, in this state, when the hand is released from the operation lock release operation unit 41 of the operation lock release lever 57 as described above, and the operation force received by the operation lock release operation unit 41 is lost, the state shown in FIG. Thus, the fitting portion 73 of the operation lock release lever 57 that rotates toward the initial position rises along the inclined edge 71 while pressing the operation lock release lever 69 upward and rotating it toward the initial position side. After that, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), it fits into the notch 70, thereby automatically returning to the operation locked state. That is, in this example, the self-operation lock means is constituted by a coupling mechanism, each spring 68, the operation lock release lever 57, and the operation lock release lever 69, and the drive source of the operation of the self-operation lock means is self-operation lock. The spring 68 is also used as a drive source for the means.

  By providing such a self-operation locking means, forgetting to put the operation lock release operation portion 41 in the operation lock state after changing the position and orientation of the panel mounting member 5, the operation lock release operation unintentionally. It can prevent that the part 41 is maintained by the operation lock state.
