DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display tilt table suitable for use in mounting a display device on a desk or the like when tilting and supporting a display surface of the display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when a display device is installed on a desk or the like and used, a display surface of the display device is supported at a predetermined angle in order to improve its visibility and operability. In such a case, a tilt table for display is used.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating an example of the structure of a conventional display tilt table. In FIG. 8, a base member 32 is fixed to a front portion of a stand member 31 with four screws 33. Both sides of the stand member 31 are bent at a predetermined angle θ, and the base member 32 is supported at an inclination corresponding to the bending angle θ. Further, a U-shaped hook portion 32a is integrally formed at a lower end portion of the base member 32.

When the indicator 34 is set on the display tilt table, the lower end of the indicator 34 is hooked on the hook 32a of the base member 32 so that the base member 32
Carry a display 34. Thus, the display surface 34a of the display 34 is supported at a predetermined inclination angle.

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional display tilt table, when the display device 34 is supported by the base member 32, the tilt angle (tilt angle) of the display surface 34a is changed by the angle of the stand member 31. Since it is uniquely determined by the bending angle θ, when it is desired to change the inclination angle of the display surface 34 a, it is necessary to change the display 34 on another display tilt base where the bending angle θ of the stand member 31 is different. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of display tilt tables having different inclination angles, which is extremely uneconomical. In addition, since it is necessary to secure a space for storing a display tilt table that is not used, there is also a problem in terms of space saving.

In view of the above, conventionally, a display tilt base having a variable mechanism for changing a tilt angle has been proposed. However, in the case of this display tilt base, the number of components is reduced due to the use of the variable mechanism. There has been a problem that the cost increases because the number of components increases and the structure becomes complicated.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a display tilting table for supporting a display surface of the display device at an angle with respect to a mounting surface on which the display device is mounted, and a base member for supporting the display device. A support member that supports the base member and is capable of reversing the orientation of the base member in the supported state, a support portion fixed to both ends of the support member, and a predetermined angle from one end of the support portion. A configuration including a first installation portion formed as described above and a stand member having a second installation portion formed at an angle different from the first installation portion from the other end of the support portion is adopted. .

In the display tilt table having the above-described structure, when the first mounting portion of the stand member is mounted on the mounting surface and the display is carried by the base member, the angle formed between the supporting portion and the first mounting portion. The display surface of the display device is supported at an inclination angle corresponding to the angle. On the other hand, the second member of the stand member
When the installation portion is installed on the installation surface and the display is carried by the base member, the display surface of the display is supported at an inclination angle corresponding to the angle formed between the support portion and the second installation portion. At this time, since the angle between the support portion and the first installation portion is different from the angle between the support portion and the second installation portion, which of the first installation portion and the second installation portion is installed on the installation surface. It is possible to change the angle of inclination of the display surface depending on whether it is performed. Further, when switching the installation target on the installation surface between the first installation portion and the second installation portion, the orientation of the base member is inverted with respect to the installation surface by inverting the orientation of the base member and supporting the support member on the support member. , It is possible to change only the tilt angle of the display surface without inverting.

One end of the lock plate 8 is bent at a substantially right angle (L-shape), and the bent portion 8a is inserted into a slit-shaped guide hole 1a provided in the base member 1 (see FIG. 2).

The stand member 3 has an integral structure formed by bending a single round arm into a predetermined shape. As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of support members fixed to both ends of the support member 2 are provided. An arm portion 3a, a pair of first installation arm portions 3b bent at a predetermined angle θ ₁ from one end of each support arm portion 3a, and a first installation arm from the other end of each support arm portion 3a A pair of second installation arms 3c bent at an angle θ ₂ different from the portion 3b, and a pair of fulcrum arms 3d extending from the ends of the second installation arms 3c in directions approaching each other. And an extension arm 3e extending in a U-shape from the extension end of each fulcrum arm 3d to the support member 2 side. Among these, the support arm 3a, the first installation arm 3b, and the second installation arm 3c are bent to form a substantially right triangle as a whole.

By the way, in the case of the present embodiment, as an example, the angle θ ₁ formed between the support arm 3a and the first installation arm 3b is set to about 35 °, and the support arm 3a and the second installation arm angle theta ₂ between the parts 3c is set to approximately 55 °.

Further, the stand member 3 is press-fitted with a plurality of cylindrical anti-slip pads 9 made of a material having a high friction resistance such as rubber. These non-slip pads 9 are in contact with the desk top so that the entire display tilt base including the stand member 3 does not easily move on the desk when the stand member 3 is placed on a desk, for example. Is restricted by a frictional force, and is press-fitted into the above-described first installation arm 3b, second installation arm 3c, and fulcrum arm 3d.

Next, the mounting structure of each of the above-mentioned components will be described. First, for the support member 2,
With the support arm portions 3a on both sides of the stand member 3 pressed inward and bent, the support arm portions 3a are fitted into the U-shaped portions at both ends of the support plate 2a. In this state, by inserting the U-shaped portions at both ends of the other support plate 2b into the U-shaped portions at both ends of the support plate 2a, the support arm 3a of the stand member 3 is formed.

The display surface 5a of the display 5 is supported at an inclination angle corresponding to the angle θ ₁ (see FIG. 3) formed between the first arm 3b and the first installation arm 3b.

On the other hand, when changing the inclination angle of the display surface 5a, first, the display 5 is once removed from the base member 1, and then the thumb screw 7 is loosened. This allows
Since the base member 1 is free to rotate around the thumb screw 7 as a fulcrum, the base member 1 is rotated by 180 ° under this state.
Rotate. Then, since the direction of the base member 1 is inverted with respect to the support member 2, the thumb screw 7 is tightened again in this state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6A, the stand member 3 is set on an installation surface (not shown) so that the bent portion between the support arm portion 3a and the first installation arm portion 3b faces upward. I do. At this time, the second installation arm 3c and the fulcrum arm 3d are installed on the installation surface (not shown). 6B, the upper end surfaces of the two support plates 2a and 2b are in contact with the bent portion 8a of the lock plate 8. As shown in FIG.

In this manner, the second setting arm 3c and the fulcrum arm 3d of the stand member 3 are set on the setting surface (not shown), and in this state, the indicator is attached to the hook 4 of the base member 1 as before. 5 is inserted into the slit hole 6 of the display 5.
Is supported by the base member 1, the support arm 3a
Angle θ ₂ between the first arm 3c and the second arm 3c (see FIG. 3)
The display surface 5a of the display 5 is supported at an inclination angle corresponding to

[0024] At this time, as compared to the angle theta ₁ of the support arm portion 3a and the first installation arm portion 3b, the angle θ2 of the support arm portion 3a and the second installation arm portion 3c is set larger Accordingly, the inclination angle of the display surface 5a of the display 5 becomes larger than before. Even when the inclination angle is changed in this way, as shown in FIG. 7, the height of the front edge of the base member 1 with respect to the installation surface (not shown) is set to be larger than the total height of the keyboard 10,
Thereby, consideration is given so that the keyboard 10 can be stored under the base member 1.

As described above, in the display tilt base of the present embodiment, the knob screw 7 is loosened and the base member 1 is turned by 180 ° without particularly replacing parts or using tools such as a screwdriver. After rotating and retightening the thumbscrew 7, the inclination angle can be easily changed simply by changing the direction of the stand member 3. This allows
Since one display tilt base can cope with two types of tilt angles, there is no need to replace the display tilt base with a change in tilt angle. Further, since the entire structure of the display tilt base is very simple and the number of parts is small, it can be manufactured at low cost.

In the above embodiment, the structure in which the slit hole 6 of the display 5 is fitted to the hook 4 of the base 1 is adopted. However, the present invention is not limited to this. 8, a hook is provided at the front edge of the base member 1 and the lower end of the indicator 5 is fitted into the hook to thereby support the indicator 5 on the base member 1.
