Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a karaoke music stand that displays lyrics and the like when singing karaoke as an auxiliary tool for music.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a karaoke music stand using a CRT monitor 100 as shown in FIG. 16 is known for displaying lyrics of karaoke or an image including the lyrics. This supports the cathode ray tube monitor 100 on the floor surface via the pole 101, and also supplies the power supply and the image cable 10.
The wiring of 2 etc. is performed. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, such a CRT monitor 100 is often installed at a height close to the ceiling and used as a karaoke music stand.

[0003]

However, the conventional karaoke music stand using such a CRT monitor has a drawback that it requires a large installation space. Moreover, since the weight is heavy, there is a risk that it may fall or drop, which is dangerous. In addition, the wiring that is routed to the cathode ray tube monitor is exposed, which may be unattractive in appearance and may also get entangled with the karaoke performer.

An object of the present invention is to provide a karaoke music stand which requires a small installation space, has good appearance in wiring, and is easy for a karaoke performer to use.

[0005]

The requirements of the invention of claim 1 are as follows. (1) A liquid crystal panel is provided as a monitor for displaying at least the lyrics of karaoke. (2) This liquid crystal panel is connected to one end of the long supporting member directly or via a holder. (3) Wiring to the liquid crystal panel through the inside of the long supporting member. (4) A panel angle adjusting section for adjusting the angle of the liquid crystal panel is provided at the connecting section between the liquid crystal panel and the long supporting member.

Here, the liquid crystal panel may display not only the lyrics of karaoke but also a still image or a moving image corresponding to the image of the lyrics in addition to this. As the form of the long support member, as shown in FIG. 1, an arm form extending from a vertical wall portion, as shown in FIG. 2, a stand pole form standing upright from the floor, and further as shown in FIG. Any form such as a suspension pole form from the ceiling as shown in FIG.

The requirements of the invention of claim 2 are as follows. (1) A liquid crystal panel is provided as a monitor for displaying at least the lyrics of karaoke. (2) In order to support this liquid crystal panel, a swing arm that is capable of swinging at least horizontally with the vertical wall as a fulcrum is provided. (3) The liquid crystal panel is connected to the free end of the swivel arm directly or via a holder. (4) Wire the liquid crystal panel through the inside of the turning arm. The present invention provides a swivel arm as a device corresponding to the long support member of claim 1.

The requirements of the invention of claim 3 are as follows. (1) A liquid crystal panel is provided as a monitor for displaying at least the lyrics of karaoke. (2) This liquid crystal panel is directly or via a holder connected to the upper end of the stand pole rising from the floor. (3) Wire to the liquid crystal panel through the inside of the stand pole. (4) A panel angle adjusting unit for adjusting the angle of the liquid crystal panel is provided. (5) A panel height adjusting section for adjusting the height position of the liquid crystal panel is provided.

[0009]

According to the first aspect of the invention, since the monitor for displaying the lyrics of karaoke is a liquid crystal panel, the installation space thereof is smaller than that of a cathode ray tube monitor, and it is lightweight, so that it may collapse. Even if it falls, the risk is small. Moreover, because the wires are routed through the inside of the long support member, the appearance is neat,
There is no need to worry about the wiring getting entangled in the performer's legs. In addition, since the angle of the liquid crystal panel can be adjusted, the optimum angle can be set according to the performer's preference and height.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the swing arm is provided as a member corresponding to the long support member, and the swing arm is attached to the vertical wall portion so as to swing at least in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the karaoke music stand is not used. At this time, the liquid crystal panel can be brought to the front of the performer by making the swivel arm swivel away from the vertical wall only when it is used. Therefore, the space can be further reduced, and the wiring and the like are also performed through the swivel arm, so that the appearance is good.

According to the invention of claim 3, the liquid crystal panel is connected to the upper end portion of the stand pole which functions as a long supporting member, whereby the music stand can be made thin and the space can be made small. Also, since the wiring is not exposed and the angle and height position of the liquid crystal panel can be adjusted respectively, the karaoke music stand is used in an optimal state according to the actor's preference and height, etc. be able to.
