Abstract

PURPOSE: To reduce the size of a package box and thereby hang a unit on a wall easily by constituting a support equipment of a main body of the unit including a power system, etc., so that it can turn. CONSTITUTION: A support equipment to support a main body of a unit is constituted of a rectangular leg 3 and a circular supported 4 whose cross section is formed in a projected shape. The leg 3 and the support 4 are assembled and thereby the support 4 is fastened under the main body of a unit. In the support 4, a hole 6 to insert a fastening member 5 in and longitudinal grooves 7 to determine the turn angle of the leg 3 are made. In the leg 3, a storing section 10 to store an upper part of the supporter 4 and spring bodies 13 having projections 12 to correspond to the longitudinal grooves 7 are made. When the unit is packed or hanged on a wall, the leg 3 is turned until it hides behind the lower part of the main body of the unit and thereby the size of a package box can be reduced and the unit can be hung on the wall easily.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a supporting device for a unit containing a small power supply device or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A power supply device such as a liquid crystal display device and a plasma display is unitized and is used by being placed on a flat place or hanging on a wall. FIG. 1 shows an example thereof, and a supporting device 2 is provided at the bottom of the unit main body 1. The support device 2 is for stably holding the thin unit main body 1 which is easy to fall down, and has a front and rear protruding from the unit main body 1.

[0003]

By the way, although the unit body 1 is thin, there is a problem that the packaging box cannot be made small because the supporting device 2 projects in front of and behind the unit body 1. Also, when the unit body 1 is hung on the wall, the rear part of the support device 2 hits the wall, and the unit body 1
However, there is a problem in that the support device 2 must be removed, or a gap corresponding to the protrusion of the support device 2 must be provided between the unit body 1 and the wall surface. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a unit supporting device that solves these problems.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems and provides a unit main body, an insertion hole at the center, and a rotation angle 90 at the outer periphery of the upper part.
A circular support having a convex cross-section provided with a plurality of vertical grooves for positioning, a storage part for storing the upper part of the support in the center, and two voids facing each other with the storage part sandwiched therebetween. And a rectangular leg body integrally provided with a spring body having a protrusion corresponding to the longitudinal groove of the support body in the same void portion, and the upper portion of the support body is provided in the center of the leg body. The support is accommodated upward, and the support is fixed to the bottom of the unit main body by a fastening member that is inserted into the insertion hole of the support.

[0005]

With the above construction, the upper portion of the circular support is accommodated upward in the accommodating portion provided in the center of the leg, and the fastening member is passed through the insertion hole provided in the central portion of the support. By fixing the support to the bottom of the unit main body with this fastening member, the leg can be made rotatable, and the support has a plurality of vertical grooves on the outer periphery of its upper portion for positioning at a rotation angle of 90 degrees. Yes, one leg has a spring body with a protrusion corresponding to the vertical groove provided on the outer periphery of the upper part of the support body, so that the leg body is held in the lower part of the unit body in the front-back direction or the left-right direction. The unit body can be supported stably on a flat place by rotating the leg body in the front-back direction, and the leg body fits in the lower part of the unit body by rotating the leg body in the left-right direction. So tilt the unit body without removing the legs It can be hung on the wall without having.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a unit containing a power supply device for a plasma display, for example, 1 is a unit body, and 2 is a supporting device for supporting the unit body 1. The support device 2 includes a rectangular leg 3 as shown in FIG. 2 and a circular support 4 having a convex cross-section with a raised center.
And a fastening member 5 for fixing the support 4 to the lower part of the unit body 1, and the leg 3 and the support 4 are made of synthetic resin. An insertion hole 6 for inserting the fastening member 5 is provided at the center of the support body 4, and four vertical grooves 7 for positioning at a rotation angle of 90 degrees are provided on the upper outer periphery. Further, a protrusion 8 used for positioning with the unit body 1 is provided on the upper surface, and a recess 9 (see FIG. 4) for accommodating the head portion 5a of the fastening member 5 is provided at the center of the bottom surface.

On the other hand, in the center of the leg body 3, an accommodating portion 10 that rotatably accommodates the upper portion of the support body 4, and the accommodating portion 10 are provided.
There are two gaps 11 facing each other with the strip-shaped spring body 13 provided integrally with the gap 11 and having a protrusion 12 corresponding to the vertical groove 7 on the support body 4 side. The spring body 13 is made of synthetic resin (for example, AB
The elasticity of S) is effectively used. An attraction plate (magnet) 14 (see FIG. 4) is attached to the lower portion of the leg body 3. The leg body 3 and the support body 4 are combined as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the support body 4 is fixed to the lower portion of the unit main body 1 by the fastening member 5 which is inserted into the insertion hole 6. At this time, the protrusion 8 provided on the upper surface of the support body 4
Is adapted to be fitted in a concave portion of the bottom of the unit body 1.

The leg 3 can be rotated in either the left or right direction. During rotation, the protrusion 12 rises from the vertical groove 7 to the outer periphery, so that the spring body 13 bends outward and the leg 3 is rotated 90 degrees. The protruding portion 12 is fitted into the vertical groove 7 again at the raised position. In addition,
In the present embodiment, the separately formed fastening member 5 is used for mounting the support body 3, but the configuration is not limited to such a configuration, and for example, as shown in FIG. The locking piece 15 may be integrally provided on the upper part, and a locking hole (not shown) may be provided on the lower part of the unit main body 1 to lock both.

[0009]

With the unit having the rotatable support device as described above, the packaging box can be downsized, the cost can be reduced, and the unit can be hung on the wall for use. It is convenient because there is no need to remove the support device.
