  Hereinafter, embodiments of an electronic apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view, FIG. 2 is a side view in a state of being stood by a stand, FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view in a state in which a wall hanging bracket is attached, and FIG. 4 is a side view in a state of being hung on a wall by a wall hanging bracket. 5 is a partial rear view, FIG. 6 is a front view of the reinforcing bracket, FIG. 7 is a partially enlarged sectional view of the reinforcing bracket, and FIGS. 8 and 9 are sectional views of the angle stabilizing device of the stand, showing different states. is there.

  A television receiver 1 is exemplified as the electronic device. The television receiver 1 has a thin structure using a liquid crystal panel, a plasma display panel, or the like as an image display means. A cabinet 10 includes a frame-shaped bezel 11 surrounding the image display means and a back cover 12 screwed to the frame. Consists of. Both the bezel 11 and the back cover 12 are made of synthetic resin.

  A stand 20 is disposed in the center of the back cover 12. The stand 20 has a T-shaped inverted shape, and the back cover 12 is formed with a recess 13 for storing the stand 20. The stand 20 is flush with the vertical plane of the back cover 12 in the stored state. When the lower end of the stand 20 is pulled with a finger, the stand 20 rotates about the upper end and is pulled out at a predetermined angle with respect to the television receiver 1 as shown in FIG. The television receiver 1 can be directly placed on a table or a floor in such a stand-drawn state so that an image can be viewed.

  As can be seen in FIG. 3, a wall mounting bracket 30 can be attached to the back cover 12. The wall mounting bracket 30 is a combination of a first plate 31 and a second plate 32 like a hinge. The first plate 31 is provided with a plurality of through holes 34 through which screws 33 for fixing the first plate 31 to the back cover 12 are arranged in two vertical rows. The second plate 32 is formed with a through-hole 37 through which a hook 36 of a sheet metal base 35 fixed by screws to the wall is passed. Two hooks 36 are press-formed side by side, and two through holes 37 are also provided side by side accordingly.

  The wall receiver 30 and the base 35 allow the television receiver 1 to be hung on a wall as shown in FIG. An angle adjusting mechanism (not shown) is provided between the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 of the wall-mounting metal fitting 30 so that the angle of the television receiver 1 can be adjusted.

  The screw 33 for fixing the wall mounting bracket 30 to the back cover 12 cannot be screwed directly into the back cover 12 due to the strength of the synthetic resin. Therefore, the reinforcing metal fitting 40 (see FIG. 5) is fixed to the inner surface of the back cover 12, and the screw 33 is screwed into the screw hole formed in the reinforcing metal fitting 40. The reinforcing metal fitting 40 has a symmetrical gate shape, and has a notch 41 at the center, and a total of four screw holes 42 are provided on the left and right to sandwich the notch 41. (See FIG. 6). As shown in FIG. 7, the screw hole 42 is formed by tapping the inner surface of the reinforcing metal fitting 40 after being subjected to a cylindrical swaging process, thereby ensuring a predetermined screwing depth, The weight of the television receiver 1 can be supported.

  A plurality of through holes 43 are formed in the reinforcing metal fitting 40, and the reinforcing metal fitting 40 is fixed to the back cover 12 by screwing screws (not shown) into the back cover 12 through the through holes 43. With the reinforcing metal fitting 40 fixed to the back cover 12, the screw hole 42 is exposed from the through hole 14 formed in the back cover 12, and the notch 41 is exposed from a window (not shown) provided in the recess 13.

  On both sides of the notch 41, a pair of right and left vertical cut and raised pieces 44 are formed. The left and right cut-and-raised pieces 44 are arranged at an interval for receiving the base portion of the stand 20 (the portion of the vertical image of the T shape) therebetween. If the base of the stand 20 is inserted through the window and is positioned between the left and right cut-and-raised pieces 44, and the metal shaft 45 penetrating the stand 20 and the cut-and-raised pieces 44 is passed horizontally, the stand 20 is centered on the shaft 45. And is supported by the reinforcing metal fitting 40 so as to be rotatable. The shaft 45 passes through the upper end of the stand 20.

  In assembling, the base portion of the stand 20 inserted from the outside of the back cover 12 is cut and raised and positioned between the pieces 44 with the reinforcing metal fitting 40 held inside the back cover 12. When the shaft 45 is passed through and the reinforcing metal fitting 40 is fixed to the back cover 12, the shaft 45 enters between a pair of left and right vertical ribs 15 formed on the inner surface of the back cover 12, as shown in FIG. The shaft 45 cannot be removed in the axial direction.

  The stand 20 can be selected from the posture housed in the recess 13 as shown in FIG. 1 and the posture pulled out from the recess 13 as shown in FIG. 2, but the stand 30 does not rattle in any posture. It must be done. The angle stabilizer 50 provided for this purpose is also held in a predetermined position by fixing the reinforcing metal fitting 40 to the back cover 12.

  The main parts of the angle stabilizer 50 are a slide block 51 that can be moved up and down and a compression coil spring 52 that presses the slide block 51 toward the stand 20. Two compression coil springs 52 are provided. The lower end of the compression coil spring 52 is fitted into a recess 53 formed on the upper surface of the slide block 51, and the upper end is engaged with the lower surface of the horizontal rib 16 formed on the inner surface of the back cover 12. The compression coil spring 52 presses the slide block 51 against a horizontal cut-and-raised piece 46 formed at the upper end of the notch 41. The slide block 51 does not come out of the cabinet 10 even when pressed against the cut and raised piece 46.

  A recess 54 is formed on the lower surface of the slide block 51. Correspondingly, a protrusion 21 is formed on the stand 20. When the stand 20 is stored as shown in FIG. 8, the protrusion 21 is engaged with the recess 54. Since the tip of the protrusion 21 is located slightly to the right of the center of the shaft 45, a clockwise moment in the drawing acts on the stand 20, and the stand 21 is stored exactly without lifting from the recess 13.

  When the stand 20 is rotated from the posture of FIG. 8 to the posture of FIG. 9, the protrusion 21 pushes up the slide block 51 against the pressure of the compression coil spring 52 and comes out of the recess 54. As a result, the protrusion 21 gets over the dead point. When the protrusion 21 hits the cut and raised piece 46, the stand 20 cannot be rotated any further. That is, the cut and raised piece 46 serves as a rotation stopper for the stand 20. At this time, the slide block 51 that pushes the tip of the protrusion 21 from above gives a counterclockwise moment to the stand 20. Thereby, the stand 20 keeps its drawer posture stably.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

  The present invention can be used for an electronic device capable of both direct installation using a wall mount and a stand, particularly a thin television receiver.
