Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a stand device for video equipment and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Thin video equipment such as a plasma display can be installed in various states, and can be wall-mounted, floor-mounted, installed in a rack, or the like. As shown in FIG. 5, in the case of floor-standing installation, it is necessary to attach the stand leg 10 to the lower surface of the main body 2, and the stand leg 10 is fixed to the main body 2 with screws 11. When changing from installation on the floor to installation on the wall, it is necessary to remove the stand 10 from the main body 2, which requires a tool such as a screwdriver, and makes the installation change work troublesome.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a video equipment stand structure that can be easily changed when the video equipment is wall-mounted rather than floor-mounted, or vice versa.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a recess provided at both lower ends of the main body, a communication hole that communicates the recess and the bottom, a stopper that is erected at the center of the recess, and the communication An inverted U-shape provided on both sides with a locking portion provided on both side walls of the hole, and a locking portion that is disposed in the recess and the communication hole and locks to the locking portion in the storage position and the use position. It is characterized by comprising a leg-shaped body.
[0005]
[Action]
With the configuration as described above, in the video equipment stand device according to the present invention, when the video equipment is changed from floor installation to wall mounting, rack installation, etc., the stand foot can be easily installed in the video equipment main body. Can be stored.
[0006]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a thin video device 1 incorporating a stand device according to the present invention. The video apparatus 1 includes a thin display unit 3 such as a plasma display in a thin main body 2 made of a resin molding material. A pair of stand legs 4 made of an elastic material are protruded and fixed on both sides of the main body 2, and the video equipment 1 is placed on the floor surface by the stand legs 4.
[0007]
FIG. 2 is a front view and a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the main body 2 provided with the stand device. On both sides of the video equipment main body 2, as shown in the figure, there are provided recesses 5 that are formed in a semicircular shape on the upper side and that both sides expand downward. In addition, a communication hole 6 is formed that is flush with the recess 5 and is open at the bottom. A semilunar stopper 7 having a semicircular upper surface is projected at a substantially central position of the upper semicircular portion of the recess 5. A pair of semicircular projections 8 project inward from both side walls of the communication hole 6.
[0008]
FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the stand leg 4 is incorporated in the mounting portion. The stand leg 4 is made of a rod-shaped spring material as an elastic body, and its shape is formed in an inverted U shape. The reverse U-shape is a shape corresponding to the shape of the mounting portion of the main body, and has the same shape as the locking portions 4a formed in a semicircular pair by bending inward on both sides thereof. A pair of locking portions 4b located below is formed.
[0009]
Next, the operation of the stand apparatus with the above configuration will be described. In the state of FIG. 3A, the locking portion 4 b of the stand leg 4 is locked to the protrusion 8, and the stand leg 4 is housed and fixed in the main body 2. Next, both lower ends of the stand leg 4 are contracted inward and pulled downward. As a result, the locking portion 4 b of the stand leg 4 is protruded downward from the protrusion 8. The lower end of the semicircular portion of the stand leg 4 abuts on the upper end of the stopper 7, while the locking portion 4 a of the stand leg 4 is locked to the protrusion 8, so that the stand leg 4 is shown in FIG. ) Is fixed. In this state, the video equipment 1 is used as a floor installation. When it is desired to change the video equipment 1 to a wall-mounted installation or the like, the stand leg 4 is accommodated in the main body 2 by the reverse procedure described above.
[0010]
As another embodiment, the one shown in FIG. 4A is provided with a number of locking portions 4 a on the stand leg 4, and an equivalent protrusion is provided on the side wall of the communication hole 6, so The protruding position can be fixed at an arbitrary position. In FIG. 5B, the stand leg 9 is formed by a thin leaf spring to improve the stability of the stand leg. Further, FIG. 4C provides a locking portion as a locking hole 9a for the stand leg made of the thin plate spring material, thereby simplifying the processing process of the stand leg.
[0011]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the stand device according to the present invention, it is possible to easily draw out or store the stand leg in the case where it is desired to change the thin video equipment from the floor-mounted installation to the wall-mounted installation and vice versa. The form can be easily changed, and it is not necessary to use a tool such as a screwdriver for the work, and the usability of the thin video equipment can be improved.
