Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Table of contents] - Overview - Field of industrial application - Prior art - Problems to be solved by the invention - Means for solving the problems - Effects - Examples - Effects of the invention・Outline: A tilt foot is rotatably attached to the device frame, a locking means is provided for fixing the tilt foot at a plurality of different positions, and a push button for unlocking the locking means is pressed on the device frame. An angle adjustment mechanism for the device that is provided so as to protrude outward, making it easy to operate and change the posture of the device.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an angle adjustment mechanism for adjusting the posture (installation angle) of various electronic devices.

In display devices such as liquid crystal display devices, it is necessary to change the angle of the screen in order to make the screen easier to see depending on the lighting of the installation location.

[Conventional technology]

An example of a conventional angle adjustment mechanism is shown in FIG. Device housing 1
A recess 17 is formed on the back surface of the device 5, and a tilt foot 16 is housed in the recess 17 (left side in the drawing). This tilt leg 16
can be pulled out to the outside as shown on the right side (arrow B). To change the installation angle of the device housing 15, lift this device housing 15 and pull out both tilt legs 16 on the back side by hand. 15 was installed tilted.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional angle adjustment mechanism described above is difficult to operate because the device must be lifted and the tilt foot pulled out, and the device can only be tilted at a certain angle, making it difficult to use. It was bad sex.

The present invention has been made in view of the drawbacks of the prior art described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an angle adjustment mechanism that can be adjusted to a plurality of angles, is easy to operate, and has good usability.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention rotatably attaches the tilt foot to the device frame, provides a locking means for fixing the tilt foot at a plurality of different positions, and includes a push button for unlocking the locking means. is provided to protrude outside the device frame.

C action] The tilt angle of the tilt foot can be adjusted in multiple steps and is locked at each angle. The lock is released by operating a push button on the side of the device and the device is moved to another position.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. A tilt leg 3 is attached to a device frame l constituting a device housing so as to be rotatable in the direction of an arrow A around a pivot portion 2. As shown in FIG. 2, this pivot portion 2 has a structure in which a tilt foot 3 is attached to a protrusion 18 provided on the device frame 1 and assembled with a screw 13 via a washer 12. Reference numeral 4 denotes a spring that always urges the tilt leg 3 downward in FIG. 1, and is attached to this pivot portion 2. One end of a plate spring 5 is joined and fixed to the device frame 1.

A roller 6, which is a locking member, is attached to the other end of the leaf spring 5. A plurality of (three in this embodiment) recesses 9 are formed in the tilt foot 3. A roller 6 is engageable with each recess 9.

A push button 7 is fixed to the roller 6. This pushbutton 7 is inserted into the device frame l through a hole 8 provided in the device frame l.
protrudes to the outside (side of the device).

Such device frames 1 constitute both side surfaces of the device housing, and the tilt legs 3 of both device frames 1 are connected to each other by a cover 10. 11 is a guide into which the tilt leg 3 is inserted.

The locking action of the tilt leg of the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. In the locked state, as shown in Figure 3(a),
The roller 6 enters the recess 9 of the tilt foot 3 and the tilt foot 3
is held fixed (as shown in Figure 1). From this state, the push button 7 is pressed to deform the leaf spring 5 to the inside of the device frame l (Fig. 3(b)), whereby the roller 6 is removed from the recess 9 of the tilt foot 3 and the lock is released. . When the lock is released, the tilt foot 3 is moved downward by the spring 4 (FIG. 1). When the push button 7 is released at a position where the recess 9 at an appropriate position faces the roller 6, the roller 6 returns to its original position by the restoring force of the leaf spring 5, and the tilt foot 3 is locked again.

The angle adjustment mechanism configured as described above is attached to the back surface of the display device 14 as shown in FIG. 4, for example, and adjusts the angle of the screen.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the angle adjustment mechanism of the device according to the present invention, the tilt foot can be locked in a plurality of different positions, and the lock release push button is configured to be operable from the outside side of the device. , the angle adjustment mechanism can be easily made, and the usability of the device is improved.
