Each of the openings 121 and 122 is formed in a shape and size corresponding to the vertical cross section of the cable holder 20. Of course, the openings 121 and 122 may be somewhat larger than the cross-section of the cable holder 20 for easy insertion and movement of the cable holder 20.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the cable holder according to the first embodiment, FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion A of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing a connection structure of a cable holder and a rear frame.

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, the cable holder 20 is formed of an elastic material so that the cable holder 20 itself can be deformed.

The cable holder 20 includes a body 210 formed in a shape corresponding to the seating portion 110 and extending ends 220 and 222 extending at an angle of a predetermined angle with respect to the body 210, Includes a first end 230 and a second end 240 that extend obliquely at ends 220 and 222 and are substantially parallel to the body 210.

In detail, a guide part 212 is formed on the upper and lower sides of the body 210 to facilitate the user's gripping. The guide portions 212 protrude from the upper and lower sides of the body 210 in a round manner.

The extension ends 220 and 222 extend obliquely from the body 210 so that the body 210 and the respective end portions 230 and 240 are spaced apart from each other in forward and backward directions. Here, the "back-and-forth direction" may be defined to mean the front-rear direction of the main body.

The extension ends 220 and 222 allow a space S for positioning the cables between the body 210 and the rear frame 10 to be secured.

The first end portion 230 is formed with a hole 232 through which a fastening boss 132 formed on the inner side of the rear frame 10 passes. The holes 232 are formed long in the longitudinal direction of the cable holder 20.

Therefore, when the cable holder 20 is operated while the fastening boss 132 passes through the hole 232, interference with the fastening boss 132 is prevented within the range of the hole 232. That is, when the cable holder 20 is operated with reference to the fastening boss 132, the fastening boss 132 can be moved in the hole 132.

The first end portion 230 is connected to the outside through the first opening portion 121 of the rear frame 10 in a state where the first end portion 230 is inserted into the main body. A first departure prevention portion 234 is formed to prevent the second guide portion 234 from being drawn out or being separated from the main body. The first separation preventing portion 234 is formed to be larger than the vertical length of the first end portion 230. The first separation preventing portion 234 is formed with a hole 235 for allowing the first separation preventing portion 234 to be elastically deformed.

Accordingly, the first end portion 230 passes through the first opening 121 in the process of elastically deforming the first escape prevention portion 234. In the state where the first end portion 230 is inserted into the main body, the first release preventing portion 234 prevents the first end portion 230 from being pulled out by the first release preventing portion 234, So that the first end 230 does not fall outside the main body.

The second end portion 240 is coupled to the rear frame 10 so that the second end portion 240 is stopped at a specific position in the process of pulling the cable holder 20 rearward of the rear frame 10 A stop guide 242 is formed.

The stop guide 242 is elastically deformable at the second end portion 240. The stop guide 242 protrudes from the second end portion 240 toward the front surface of the main body. The stop guide 242 is formed with a first protrusion 243 and a second protrusion 244 for preventing the second end portion 240 from being separated.

The first protrusions 243 and the second protrusions 244 are sequentially disposed in the longitudinal direction of the cable holder 20 and are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance.

The second end portion 240 prevents the second end portion 240 from being drawn out to the outside through the second opening portion 122 while the second end portion 240 is inserted into the main body The second separation preventing portion 246 is formed. The second separation preventing portion 246 is formed to be larger than the vertical length of the second end portion 240.

The second separation preventing portion 246 is formed with a hole 247 for allowing the second separation preventing portion 246 to be elastically deformed.

Accordingly, in the process of elastically deforming the second release preventing portion 246, a portion of the second end portion 240 is inserted, and when a portion of the second end portion 246 is inserted, The remaining portion is inserted into the main body in the process of elastically deforming the main body 242.

Hereinafter, a process of joining the cable holder 20 and the rear frame 10 will be described.

First, the ends 230 and 240 of the cable holder 20 are aligned with the openings 121 and 122, respectively. The first end 230 and the second end 240 are then inserted into the body through the respective openings 121, 122. Specifically, the first end portion 230 is pushed into the first opening portion 121 by a force of a predetermined magnitude or more. The first end portion 240 passes through the first opening 121 in the process of elastically deforming the first separation preventing portion 234. The fastening boss 132 is then passed through the hole 232 of the first end 230 and then the fastening member 134 is fastened to the fastening boss 132. At this time, the movement of the first end 230 can be guided by the fastening boss 134.

Next, the second end portion 240 is pushed into the second opening portion 122 with a force of a predetermined magnitude or more. Accordingly, the second release preventing portion 246 passes through the second opening 122 during the elastic deformation of the second release preventing portion 246. Then, a pushing force larger than a predetermined magnitude is applied to the second end portion 240.

The second protrusion 244 and the first protrusion 243 sequentially pass through the second opening 122 in the process of elastically deforming the stop guide 242 so that the second end 240 And completely penetrates the second opening 122.

Here, when the cables are not connected to the rear frame 10, the body 210 of the cable holder 20 may be seated in the seating part 210.

Hereinafter, the operation of the cable holder 20 will be described.

The cable holder 20 is pulled to the rear of the back frame 10 while the cable holder 20 is connected to the rear frame 10. [ A space (S) in which the cables can be positioned is formed between the back frame (10) and the cable holder (20).

The cables 31, 32, 33 and 34 connected to the rear frame 10 pass through the space S between the cable holder 20 and the rear frame 10.

Then, since the cables are located in the space S, it is possible to arrange the cables. In addition, as the cables are arranged, the twisting phenomenon of the cables is prevented, thereby preventing the cables from being short-circuited.

Meanwhile, the size of the space S can be varied by varying the pulling degree of the cable holder 20 according to the number of cables connected to the rear frame 10.

In particular, Fig. 6 discloses that four cables are located in the space S. When the cable holder 20 is pulled to the rear of the rear frame to arrange the four cables as described above, a space S having the same size as that of FIG. 6 is formed.

In this state, the first protrusion 234 is caught by the rear frame 10, so that the second end 240 is kept stationary. In order to increase the size of the space S in such a state, the body 210 is pulled by a force of a certain magnitude or more. Then, the first protrusion 243 passes through the second opening 122 in the process of elastically deforming the stop guide 240.

Then, a space S1 larger than the space S of FIG. 6 is formed, so that a larger number of cables can be located in the space S1. According to this configuration, in this embodiment, the size of the space can be varied in three steps.

After the first protrusion 234 passes through the second opening 122, the second protrusion 244 is caught by the rear frame 10 to stop the second end 240 . Therefore, in a state where the size of the space is adjusted, the cable holder 20 is kept connected to the rear frame 10 by the protrusions 243, 244 or the second separation preventing portion 246 .

Further, since the cable holder 20 is kept connected to the rear frame 10, there is an advantage that loss of the cable holder 20 is reduced, and the display device can be installed on a wall or by a stand device It is possible to arrange the cables by the cable holders, respectively.

In this embodiment, it is described that the stop guide is formed with two protrusions, but it is noted that there is no limitation on the number of the protrusions.
