Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize the stepless control of the display angle by keeping a display panel at an optional angle to a keyboard by means of the adsorbing force of a permanent magnet or a magnetic substance. CONSTITUTION:The both side faces of a connecting part 6 serve as the counter faces 6a and 6b to a connecting part 5 and a permanent magnet 3b is attached to the face 6a opposite to a counter face 5a containing a permanent magnet 3a. Then an S pole of the magnet 3b is set at the side of the face 5a so that both magnets 3a and 3b are attracting with each other. The part 6 is pivoted by the part 5 by a rotary shaft 7, therefore a display panel 2 can be freely turned against a keyboard 1. Thus the panel 2 can be kept at an optional angle to the keyboard 1, therefore the display angle can be steplessly controlled. Then each operator can select the best display angle of the panel 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a keyboard tilt mechanism that adjusts the display angle of a display panel attached to the keyboard.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of keyboard tilt mechanism has a display panel rotatably attached to the keyboard, and several recesses provided on one connecting portion and retractable protrusions provided on the other connecting portion. The display angle was adjusted using a click mechanism in which the parts were fitted in stages.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, while the display angle at which the display panel is easy to view varies depending on the physique of the keyboard operator or the environment such as the position of the lighting, the display angle that can be maintained with the above-mentioned conventional keyboard tilt mechanism varies in stages. However, there is a drawback in that the keyboard operator is forced to select a display angle that is relatively easy to view from several preset display angles.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention rotatably attaches a connecting portion provided at one end of the display panel to a connecting portion provided on the keyboard. In a keyboard tilt mechanism that allows the display angle to be adjusted, at least one of the opposing surfaces of the connecting portions of the keyboard and the display panel is provided with a permanent magnet, and the other opposing surface is provided with the permanent magnet. The device is equipped with a magnetic material that attracts to the keyboard, and is configured so that the display panel can be held at any angle with respect to the keyboard by the attraction force of the permanent magnet and the magnetic material, so that the display angle can be adjusted steplessly. be.

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view showing the keyboard tilt mechanism of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the main part, and FIG.
It is a side view with a part of figure broken.

The keyboard tilt mechanism of the present invention has a connecting part 6 provided at the lower end of the display panel 2 rotatably attached to connecting parts 5 provided at two places on the upper surface of the keyboard 1.

Two connecting portions 5 of the keyboard 1 are provided in parallel near the rear of the upper surface of the keyboard 1, and have a groove-like shape, and are connected to the display panel 2.
The connector 6 is adapted to be inserted into the receiver. Both side surfaces of the connecting portion 5 are opposite surfaces 5a and 5b to the connecting portion 6. A circular permanent magnet 3a is mounted on one opposing surface 5a.
is installed, and the N8i is turned so that it faces inside the groove.

The connecting portions 6 of the display panel 2 are protruding bodies with semicircular tips, and two are provided corresponding to the connecting portions 5 of the two keyboards 1, and are designed to fit into these. Both side surfaces of the connecting portion 6 are surfaces 6a and 6b facing the connecting portion 5, and a permanent magnet 3b is attached to the facing surface 6a facing the facing surface 5a provided with the permanent magnet 3a. Then, the S pole is placed on the facing surface 5a side so as to be attracted to the permanent magnet 3a provided in the connecting portion 5.

The connecting portion 6 is pivotally supported by the connecting portion 5 by a rotating shaft 7,
Therefore, the display panel 2 is rotatable with respect to the keyboard 1.

Further, a spacer 4 is inserted between the facing surface 5a of the connecting portion 5 of the keyboard 1 and the facing surface 6a of the connecting portion 6 of the display panel 2. This spacer 4 is made of a thin plate of non-magnetic material such as resin, and prevents the permanent magnets 3a and 3b from directly attracting each other. This allows the connecting portion 6 to rotate smoothly with respect to the connecting portion 5, making it possible to finely adjust the angle between the keyboard 1 and the display panel 2.

In this embodiment, permanent magnets 3a and 3b are used in both the connecting parts 5 and 6 of the keyboard l and the display panel 2, but it is also possible to use one of them as a magnetic material. In addition, both connecting portions 5
Although the rotating shaft 7 is used to attach the connectors 6 and 6, the rotating shaft 7 may be rotated by means of forming a convex part on the connecting part 6 and attaching it to a recess formed in the connecting part 5 of the keyboard 1.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides a method by which the connecting portion provided at one end of the display panel is rotatably attached to the connecting portion provided on the keyboard, and the display angle of the display panel can be adjusted. In the tilt mechanism of the keyboard, at least one of the opposing surfaces of the connecting portions of the keyboard and the display panel is provided with a permanent magnet, and the other opposing surface is provided with a magnetic material that attracts the permanent magnet. The display panel can be held at any angle with respect to the keyboard using the attraction force between the permanent magnet and the magnetic body, so the display angle can be adjusted steplessly, making the display panel the easiest for each operator to view. The effect is that the display angle can be selected and used.
