Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to electronic equipment such as personal computers, word processors and workstations.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional computer display, a base is placed under a display unit, and the display unit and the base are connected via a movable shaft to change the orientation of the screen. The movable shaft is fixed to the display unit and supported by the base bearing. In order to stably rotate the display unit in this state, the center of gravity of the display unit needs to be right above the movable shaft.

[0003]

When the center of gravity of the display unit deviates from directly above the movable shaft, the display unit loses stability and tilts in a direction deviating from the center of gravity, which causes a problem that smooth rotation cannot be obtained. It was

It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic device apparatus which can stably and smoothly rotate even if the center of gravity of the display unit deviates from the center of rotation.

[0005]

An electronic device apparatus according to the present invention includes a support pillar for supporting a display portion of an electronic device, a base for mounting the support pillar, and a reinforcement pillar for supporting the display portion by supplementing the strength of the support pillar. A bearing metal plate for fixing the reinforcing column and the column, a rotary plate which is installed at right angles to the reinforcing column and which mounts the reinforcing column, a movable shaft which rotatably mounts the rotary plate on the bearing metal plate, and a parallel plate parallel to the rotary plate. It is characterized in that it is provided with a base metal plate which is installed and fixedly attached to the base, and a sliding member which is inserted between the base metal plate and the rotary plate to rotatably rub the rotary plate.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of an electronic equipment device of the present invention will be described. In FIG. 4, the column 2 supports the display unit 1 of the electronic device. The base 3 is a device on which the pillar 2 is mounted. The reinforcing column 8 supplements the strength of the column 2 and supports the display unit 1. The bearing sheet metal 6 is a device that fixes the reinforcing column 8 and the column 2. The rotary plate 7 is, for example, a disc-shaped plate, is a plate that is installed in a direction perpendicular to the reinforcing column 8 and to which the reinforcing column 8 is attached. The movable shaft 5 is a shaft that rotatably attaches the rotating plate 7 to the bearing sheet metal 6. The base sheet metal 9 is a plate that is installed parallel to the rotary plate 7 and fixedly attached to the base 3. The sliding member 10 is a substance that is inserted between the base sheet metal 9 and the rotary plate 7 to allow the rotary plate 7 to rotatably rub.

That is, FIG. 1 is a plan view of an electronic device, FIG. 2 is a front view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 1, and a display unit 1 is provided with a base 3 via a pillar 2. The column 2 can rotate in the horizontal direction with respect to the base 3. Since the display unit 1 is located in front of the column 2, the center of gravity position 4 of the display unit 1 is in front of the center of rotation. The support 2 and the base 3 are connected by a movable shaft 5 and a bearing metal plate 6 as shown in FIG. This bearing sheet metal 6
The problem is solved by providing a rotary plate 7 such as a disc on the.

Although the bearing sheet metal 6 is supported by the movable shaft 5, the center of gravity position 4 is deviated from directly above the movable shaft 5, so that the bearing sheet metal 6 is subjected to the force of falling to the center of gravity position 4. In order to support the bearing sheet metal 6 against this force, when the bearing sheet metal 6 is provided with the rotating plate 7, the base 3 supports the rotating plate 7 to serve as a new fulcrum and prevent the bearing sheet metal 6 from tilting.

The rotating plate 7 is supported by a sliding member 10 such as nylon fixed to a base metal plate 9 at a position substantially below the center of gravity position 4. Since the bearing plate 6 fixes the rotary plate 7 via the reinforcing column 8, the rotary plate 7 can be prevented from falling toward the center of gravity 4 with the rotary plate 7 as a new fulcrum. When the support column 2 is rotated with respect to the base 3, the center of gravity position 4 moves on the circumference around the movable shaft 5. Correspondingly, the sliding member 10 is also annular with the movable shaft 5 as the center, and can support the rotating plate 7 regardless of the position of the center of gravity 4.

By supporting the rotary plate 7 fixed to the bearing metal plate 6 in this manner, the tilting of the bearing metal plate 6 can be suppressed, and the columns 2 can be smoothly rotated.

[0011]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION By providing the bearing plate of the rotating mechanism with a support other than the shaft, it is possible to prevent the bearing plate from tilting even when the center of gravity deviates from the shaft, and to provide stability to the rotating mechanism.
