[0005]

As described above, in order to install the conventional car navigation display device 2 in the interior of the automobile, the distance between the display device 2 and the mounting point of the vehicle is large. For example, recently, it is common to equip the driver's seat side and the auxiliary seat side of a passenger car with an airbag, and when the airbag operates, the display device 2 and the support arm 1 interfere with each other. However, it has been pointed out that the resulting accident is caused.

Further, since the display device 2 is supported by the long support arm 1, vibrations during traveling are amplified by the support arm 1 and transmitted to the display device 2, so that the display device 2 is easily rattled. Also,
In the angle adjustment, a troublesome angle adjustment operation such as deforming the support arm 1 is required, and there is room for improvement in usability.

Similarly, devices used in hospitals and various facilities also have problems such as troublesome angle adjustment and an increase in the size and complexity of the structure of the angle adjustment mechanism.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has been applied to display equipment such as a car navigation display device, a car television, or medical equipment and display devices of hospitals and various facilities in all directions. An object of the present invention is to provide a support stand device for a device that can be supported so that the angle can be adjusted, and that has a simple and compact structure and is easy to use.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a support stand apparatus for an apparatus, comprising: a mounting plate attached to a fixed side; The angle adjustment of the device is enabled in all directions by jointing the parts.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the support stand apparatus for an apparatus, a torque adjusting mechanism for adjusting a sliding torque force at the time of adjusting the angle of the apparatus is provided at the spherical joint.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the support stand apparatus for an apparatus, the torque adjusting mechanism includes a tightening bolt penetrating the spherical joint of each plate, and a torque adjusting nut screwed with the tightening bolt. The sliding torque is varied by operating the torque adjusting nut.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the support stand apparatus for an apparatus, the torque adjusting mechanism includes a tightening bolt penetrating the spherical joint of each plate, a torque adjusting knob screwed to a tip portion of the tightening bolt, It is composed of a compression coil spring interposed between them, and by rotating the torque adjustment knob,
It is characterized in that the spring pressure of the compression coil spring is adjusted to vary the sliding torque force.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a support stand device for an apparatus, wherein a sliding surface at a spherical joint between the mounting plate and the support plate is subjected to a coating treatment for increasing surface hardness.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the supporting stand apparatus for an apparatus, the mounting plate is formed of a short plate, a base of the plate is mounted on a fixed side, and a front end portion is spherically joined to a supporting plate for supporting the apparatus. It is characterized by being jointed through a part.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the supporting stand apparatus for an apparatus, the mounting plate is twisted at a twist angle of 90 °, and a joint portion with the supporting plate is a horizontal plane.
The base of the mounting plate is set in a vertical plane.

Here, as a device to which the support stand device according to the present invention is applied, there are a car navigation display device, a car television, and the like for a vehicle, and a hospital,
For various facilities, the present invention is applicable not only to televisions, various display devices, medical equipment, etc., but also to consumer display devices.

The support stand apparatus for the above-mentioned equipment comprises a mounting plate to be mounted on the fixed side, a support plate for supporting the equipment, and a joint between the two plates. In this joint, the equipment can be adjusted in all directions. To support as much as possible, a bowl-shaped spherical joint structure is adopted.

At the spherical joint at the joint between the mounting plate and the support plate, it is necessary to apply a sliding torque force in order to hold the device in a predetermined position. The spherical joint surfaces of both plates are tightened in the direction of pressure contact with a tightening bolt penetrating the spherical joint.

Further, a torque adjusting mechanism for varying the sliding torque force at this time may be employed. In this case, a torque adjusting nut screwed with a tightening bolt is fitted, and the sliding torque is reduced by loosening the nut. By reducing the force and tightening the nut, the tightening torque force may be increased, and a compression coil spring is interposed between the tightening bolt and the torque adjustment nut to repel the spring of the compression coil spring. A torque adjusting mechanism using force may be used.

Further, since a sliding torque force is frequently applied to a spherical joint portion or the like at a joint portion between the mounting plate and the support plate, if a fluorine resin, molybdenum disulfide, or the like is coated to increase the surface hardness, A uniform torque force can be applied over a long period.

When the mounting plate to be mounted on the fixed side is formed of a short rectangular plate in consideration of mounting properties, the base side is mounted on the fixed side, and the distal side is formed as a joint with the support plate. Good.

Further, when a short rectangular plate is used as a mounting plate, especially when the mounting plate is installed in a vehicle where vibration is severe, the mounting plate is twisted at a twist angle of 90 ° and the joint portion is horizontal. If the base is set in a vertical plane while securing a support surface in the shape of a circle, the base is not affected by vertical vibration or the like while the vehicle is running.

As is apparent from the above configuration, since the support stand apparatus for equipment according to the present invention has a compact and simple structure, it can be installed even in a small place, and is excellent in space efficiency.

Further, if a torque adjusting mechanism is provided, an adjusting force at the time of angle adjustment can be appropriately set according to the weight of the device and needs of use, and if an appropriate torque force is selected, the angle adjustment can be performed smoothly. .

Furthermore, if a short plate is used as the mounting plate, space saving is excellent, and in particular, when applied to a vehicle-mounted device, interference with an airbag can be easily avoided.

If the mounting plate is twisted at a twist angle of 90 ° and the mounting base on the vehicle body side is vertical,
Vibration is not picked up during running of the vehicle, and stable support of the equipment can be expected.
