Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is for use in vehicles to display desired information to passengers.
This relates to CRT display devices.

Conventional technology In recent years, automobiles have installed CRT (Cathode Ray) in the center console or instrument panel.
Tube) Some are equipped with a display device.

The CRT display device displays various information necessary for driving and information such as the direction and distance to the destination in order to assist the driver's perception.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention By the way, passengers other than the driver, such as a passenger in the front passenger seat, may also want to know the information displayed on the CRT display device.

Therefore, we installed the CRT main body, which is swingably housed in the housing, on the center console or instrument panel, and
CRT display devices have been proposed in which the display surface of the main body can be directed toward the driver's seat side, the passenger seat side, or somewhere between the two.

However, in the above CRT display device,
A window hole that exposes the display surface of the CRT body must be formed in the housing along the swing direction of the CRT body. If such a window hole is formed in the housing, the display surface of the CRT body and the housing will be exposed. There was a gap between them, making it look bad.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention was devised in view of the above problems, and is a CRT display device installed in the front seat of an automobile to display various information. At the front, there is a CRT body installed in a housing that can be rotated horizontally, and the above-mentioned
The housing consists of switch panels that are attached to the left and right sides of the display surface of the CRT main body along the display surface and have various switches arranged in a symmetrical relationship with each other. This is a vehicle-mounted CRT display device that has a window hole that exposes approximately 1/2 part in the horizontal direction.

Function The in-vehicle CRT display device according to the present invention can turn the display surface toward the driver's seat, the front, or the passenger seat by rotating the CRT main body left and right. The gap with the housing is covered by a switch panel, and when the display surface is facing forward, various switches appear on both sides of the display surface, and the CRT body can be rotated left or right to operate. When the display screen is turned towards the passenger or passenger in the front passenger seat, the various switches mentioned above will appear on one side of the display screen.

Embodiment Figures 1 to 4 show in-vehicle use according to the present invention.
1 shows an example of a CRT display device.

In the drawing, 1 is a CRT main body, 2 is a housing, 3 and 4 are switch panels fixed to both left and right edges of the CRT main body 1, and 5a, 5a..., 5b, 5
. . , 6 a, 6 a . . . , 6 b, 6 b . . . indicate switches for switching various information displays disposed on the respective switch panels 3 and 4.

The CRT main body 1 is placed inside the housing 2.
It is accommodated so as to be rotatable horizontally in the left and right directions about point O, and in this state is arranged in the center console or instrument panel of an automobile.

The number of switches disposed on the switch panels 3 and 4 is the same, and the arrangement on the left and right switch panels 3 and 4 is symmetrical with respect to each other. That is, the switches 5a, 5a, etc. installed on the left switch panel 3 near the CRT main body 1 are as follows:
The switches 6b, 6b... attached to the outer side of the switch panel 4 on the right side have the same functions, respectively, and the switches 5b, 5b... attached to the outer side of the switch panel 3 have the same functions as the switches 6b, 6b... attached to the outer side of the switch panel 4. It has the same function as the switches 6a, 6b, . . . installed closer to the first switch.

The window hole 7 formed in the housing 2 is
The display screen 1a of the CRT main body 1 and each half of the switch panels 3 and 4 are formed in such a size that they are exposed.

In the vehicle-mounted CRT display device having the above configuration, when the central axis of the CRT main body 1 and the central axis of the housing 2 are aligned as shown in FIG.
When the display surface 1a of the CRT main body 1 faces the front, the CRT main body 1 of each of the switch panels 3 and 4
Switches 5a, 5a..., 6b, 6 arranged close to each other
b... is exposed from the window hole 7. Therefore, in this state, the driver and passengers can view the screen display in the same way as a conventional CRT display device, and change the display content by pressing the switches 5a, 5a..., 6.
b, 6b...

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, when the CRT main body 1 is rotated to the right and the display surface 1a is directed toward the driver, the entirety of the left switch panel 3 of the CRT main body 1 is exposed. All the switches 5a, 5a..., 5b, 5b... arranged on this switch panel 3
switching operation becomes possible. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, rotate the CRT main body 1 to the left and
For example, when pointing a towards the passenger side of the passenger seat,
The entire surface of the switch panel 4 on the right side of the CRT main body 1 is exposed, and all the switches 6a, 6a, . . . , 6b, 6b, . . . disposed on the switch panel 4 can be operated.

Effects of the invention As explained above, in-vehicle use according to the invention
The display surface of a CRT display device can be turned toward the driver's seat, the front, or the passenger seat by rotating the CRT body left and right. At this time, the gap between the display surface and the housing is It looks good because it is always covered by the switch panels placed on both sides.Furthermore, when the display surface is facing forward, various switches appear on both sides of the display surface, allowing you to rotate the CRT body to the left or right. When the display is facing the driver or front passenger, the various switches mentioned above appear on one side of the display, making it extremely practical.
A CRT display device can be provided.
