DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a stand structure of a recording / reproducing apparatus incorporating a display device according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a camera-integrated video tape recorder (VTR) having a stand structure according to the present invention and having a built-in liquid crystal monitor, and also shows a cross section of a main part of the stand structure. FIG. 2 is a right side view of the VTR of FIG. 1 and also shows a cross section of a main part of the stand structure. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a camera-integrated VTR 1 with a built-in liquid crystal monitor
Comprises a camera 2 for capturing an image via a lens 3 and a VTR body 4 for recording and reproducing the image captured by the camera 2 using a magnetic tape. Also, V
A liquid crystal monitor 10 is built in the back of the TR main body 4.

In the vicinity of the right end in the VTR main body 4, a flat support angle 7 having a substantially arc-shaped guide groove 11 is provided, and two convex portions 8 guided by the guide groove 11 are provided. The plate-like stand 5 having 8 ′ at the upper end is
The protrusions 8 and 8 ′ are housed in the VTR main body 4 in a state of being slidably fitted in the guide grooves 11. An engaging member 12 having an L-shaped cross section is provided at the upper end of the support angle 7, and the stand 5 is provided between the engaging member 12 and the lower convex portion 8 ′ provided on the stand 5. A spring 9 that constantly biases the storage position is stretched. On the other hand, a stopper 6 is provided at the lower end of the support angle 7 so that the stand 5 is not stored more than a certain amount. 13 is a click when the stand 5 is stored, and 14 is a click when the stand 5 is taken out.

Next, the operation of the stand structure configured as described above will be described. First, FIGS. 1 and 2
When the lower end of the stand 5 at the storage position shown in FIG. 5 is pulled out and taken out, the stand 5 is released from the click 13 and the projections 8 and 8 ′ of the stand 5 become the guide grooves 11.

Accordingly, the stand 5 rotates to the supporting position against the urging force of the spring 9 and is locked by the click 14 to be in a state as shown in FIG. That is, the stand 5 supports the camera-integrated VTR 1 at a predetermined angle with respect to the floor surface. Therefore,
Even without using a link mechanism like the conventional stand structure,
With a relatively short stand, the stand can be grounded farther than the VTR main body, and the VTR main body can be stabilized.

In the above embodiment, the spring 9 provided between the stand 5 and the support angle 7 always urges the stand 5 to the storage position, but always urges the stand 5 to the support position. A spring may be used. In this case, a holding means for holding the stand 5 at the storage position is required except when the stand 5 is used. FIG. 4 is a right side view showing the embodiment of the stand structure in the case where a spring for constantly biasing the stand to the supporting position is used. As is clear from FIG. 4, a spring 16 for constantly biasing the stand 5 to the supporting position is provided between the engaging member 15 having a circular cross section protruding from the support angle 7 and the convex portion 8 of the stand 5. It is stretched.
