〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially exploded perspective view showing a device in which a display storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed. This device consists of a device main body l having a keyboard 11 on its front upper surface and a storage space 1a for a display board 2 on its rear upper surface, and a device body l that is rotatably supported at the front end position of the storage space 1a. Its main parts are composed of a display plate 2 and a lid member 3 rotatably supported at the rear end position of the device main body l.

The display plate 2 is formed of a liquid crystal display device, a plasma display device, or the like, and has a pair of guide pins 21 protruding from both sides of its tip. These guide pins 21 are fitted into guide grooves 31, which will be described later, of the lid member 3, respectively. The display board 2 is rotated around a rotation support point at the base end by elastic means (not shown) via a support member 22 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) rotatably attached to the back surface. It receives a biasing force that causes it to stand up toward the front side.

A pair of guide grooves 31 are formed on the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the lid member 3, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. The guide groove 31 includes a linear groove 31a on the proximal end side (right side in the figure) of the lid member 3, an arcuate groove 31b near the center, an oblique groove 31C rising diagonally, and a distal end side (on the right side in the figure) of the lid member 3.
A straight groove portion 31d directed toward the left side in the figure is formed in a continuous manner.

Along the straight groove portions 31d of the left and right guide grooves 31, a lid locking member 32 and a locking spring member 33 as shown in FIG. 1 are screwed together with screws 34.

The lid locking member 32 itself is made of a material that has some elasticity, and has an oval pressing operation part 32a on the outer surface near the tip, and an inner surface corresponding to the pressing operation part 32a. A locking hook portion 32b is provided on the outer surface of the projecting piece extending downward from the bottom. The pressing operation portion 32a is exposed on the side surface of the lid member 3 near the tip end through a through hole (not shown) formed in a shape corresponding to the lid member 3. The locking hook portion 32b is adapted to fit into a locking hole 1b provided at a corresponding position on the device main body 1 to releasably lock the lid member 3 to the device main body 1.

The locking spring member 33 includes a biasing spring portion 33a whose base portion is connected to each other and whose tip portion is bent so as to press and bias the lid latching member 32 outward. and a pin locking spring portion 33b which is bent perpendicularly and has a hook-shaped tip.

Next, the operation of the display storage device of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

In the closed state where the lid member 3 closes the storage space 1a of the device main body 1 as shown in FIG.
It is located at the rightmost position within the guide groove 31.

When the pressing operation portion 32a of the lid locking member 32 is pressed from the closed state of the lid member 3, the locking hook portion 32b of the lid locking member 32 is moved inward to lock the device body 1. The engagement with the hole 1b is lost. Therefore, when the lid member 3 is rotated from this state to open around the support point at the base end, the guide pin 21 moves along the linear groove 31a, and the display plate 2 also moves along the support point at the base end. It rotates in the opposite direction to the lid member 3 around the holding point and begins to stand up.

When the guide pin 21 of the display board 2 enters the arcuate groove 31b from the linear groove 31a as the lid member 3 is opened, the display board 2 is urged by an elastic means (not shown) via the support member 22 and further stands up. The guide pin 21 moves to the left end position of the arcuate groove 31b indicated by the reference numeral 21B in FIG. 3, and stops at the diagonal groove 31C. In this state, as shown in FIG. 4, the display board 2 is in a semi-erected state in which it is partially raised.

Next, when you place your hand on the display board 2 from this semi-standing state and rotate the display board 2 so as to pull it up toward you, the guide pin 21 climbs over the diagonal groove 31C and enters the straight groove 31d, and is finally locked. It moves over the pin locking spring portion 33b of the spring member 33 to a position shown by reference numeral 21C in FIG. 3, and is temporarily locked. In this state,
As shown in FIG. 5, the display board 2 is connected to the keyboard 11.
The display board 2 is in a state where it is fully erected at a position directly behind the display board 2, and the display on the display board 2 is extremely easy to see.

Next, in order to store the display board 2 from the open state of the lid member 3, first place a hand on the display board 2 and rotate it so as to push it backward. Then, the guide pin 21 moves to the third position.
The locking spring member 3 starts from the leftmost position indicated by the symbol 2IC in the figure.
The display board 2 is moved over the pin locking spring part 33b of No. 3 and through the straight groove part 31d and the diagonal groove part 31C to an intermediate position indicated by the reference numeral 21B, and the display board 2 is rotated to a semi-erected state as shown in FIG. Note that if you try to push down the display board 2 further from this state, the guide pins 21 will overcome the elasticity of the elastic means (not shown) and overcome the arcuate grooves 31b, so a larger force will be required than before. Therefore, the operator feels a large resistance force and temporarily stops pressing the display board 2.

In this way, a large resistance force is obtained at the intermediate position while pressing the display board 2, so the display board 2 can be pressed as it is.
There is no risk of getting your hand caught and injured by the lid member 3 which is closed in conjunction with the lid member 3 if you push it down.

Next, from the half-standing state of the display board 2, when you put your hand on the lid member 3 and press it toward you, the lid member 3
The force applied to the display panel 2 acts as a large force on the display board 2 due to a lever action using the position of the guide pin 21 as a fulcrum. Therefore, even if the lid member 3 is pressed with a relatively weak force, the guide pin 21 easily overcomes the arcuate groove 31b, enters the straight groove 313, and moves to the rightmost position indicated by 21A in FIG. . In this state, the locking hook portion 32b of the lid locking member 32 is inserted into the locking hole l of the device body l.
b, and as shown in FIG. 2, the lid member 3 closes the device main body 1 with the display board 2 stored in the storage space 1a.

In the above embodiment, the display board 2 was explained as being an electronic display device such as a liquid crystal display device or a plasma display device. Of course, in the case of a viewing device, the display board may be an optical display device such as a projection screen board.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, the lid member and the display board are connected by the guide groove and the guide pin, and the display board is erected or stored in conjunction with the opening of the lid member. This has the effect of making it easier to store and arrange the display board.

Furthermore, since the display board stands up immediately behind the input device of the main body of the device, there is an effect that the display on the display board becomes extremely easy to see.
