Definitions
- the present invention relates to a television set with a flat display, for example with a plasma or TFT display, in particular a flat television set which is intended for mounting on a wall.
- Plasma displays in particular are often used for television sets, since this technology can also be used to produce very large screens, including screens with a diagonal of over 50 cm. Such large screens are very popular among other things as home television sets.
- Television sets with an integrated disk drive that do not require external wiring are also known.
- the drive is usually mounted horizontally and at right angles to the display; drives with a drawer are known, for example, which can be pushed horizontally out of the television front panel in order to insert a disc.
- Disk drives are also known in which the disk is inserted vertically, which proves to be impractical. The same applies to drives in which only the cover can be folded out: in this case too, it happens too often that the storage disc is dropped when it is inserted.
- the television set with a plasma display, a TV tuner and at least one loudspeaker in a flat housing also comprises a disk drive to read optical, magnetic or opto-magnetic storage disks, the entire named disk drive being mounted on the inner side of a fold-out door at the front of the named housing.
- this has the advantage that the entire disk drive is hidden behind the fold-out door. So you can too conventional drives intended for PC's can be used without affecting the aesthetics of the television.
- Another advantage is that the drive can be easily replaced without having to open the entire housing of the television.
- This arrangement also allows the disc to be inserted horizontally but read vertically. This has the advantage that the discs can be practically inserted into a vertically functioning drive.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a television set with the door that can be folded out in the closed position.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a section of the television with the hinged door in the open position.
- Figure 3 is an exploded view of the fold-out door in the open position.
- a frame 2 for example made of steel or preferably aluminum, serves as a housing for components of the television set.
- Electronic components for example a TV tuner, a video card, a PC mother card with one or more expansion cards, are arranged on one or more printed circuit boards in the housing behind and parallel to the display 3.
- the television set is controlled by an infrared or radio remote control and thus preferably has no visible controls.
- the infrared transmitter-receiver is, for example, in the lower part of the frame 2 arranged.
- the television has one or more disk drives which are mounted on the inner side of a fold-out door 64.
- the width of the door 64 corresponds to the width of the cover in front of the loudspeaker 4, so that it can be mounted directly under this cover.
- the door is preferably covered with the same textile as the cover. So that the textile cover in front of the door does not hinder its opening, it is preferably mounted on the door via scenes so that the door cover moves parallel to the door as soon as it hits the hinges when opened.
- FIG. 2 shows a section of the television set 1 with the door 64 which can be folded out in the open position. Some components of this arrangement are more visible on the exploded view of Figure 3, which is described together with Figure 2.
- the door 64 is connected to the frame 2 of the television set 1 via a hinge 66.
- the hinge 66 consists of a plate 662, which is inserted into the profile of the frame 2 and to which a fixed hinge sleeve 660 is fastened with screws 661.
- the door 64 comprises a second hinge sleeve which is held together by two pins or screws 663 and via two disks 664 with the first hinge sleeve 660, which allows the door to be opened and closed. In a preferred variant, not shown, the opening of the door is facilitated by spring means.
- two disk drives 60, 61 are mounted one above the other on the inner side of the fold-out door 64.
- the first drive 60 is a commercially available CD or DVD drive, which is held directly on the door 64 by a circuit board 65.
- the circuit board 65 is fastened to the door 64 with four screws 640.
- a second commercially available drive 61 in this example a floppy drive, is mounted on the other side of the circuit board 65. Both drives are connected to the circuit board and to the electronics within the television via flat cables 650, 651 and 652; these cables also ensure the electrical supply to the drives.
- a manufactured or cast cover plate 63 covers the two drives 60, 61 and protects them from impacts.
- the two drives 60 61 are in a horizontal position when the door 64 is open. In this position, floppies or CD or DVD discs can be easily inserted.
- the front panel of the floppy drive 61 and the DVD drive 60 are parallel to the display 3 in order to benefit from the entire width of the loudspeaker 4 and can be operated without any problems.
- both drives are invisible and save space vertically in the housing.
- the door can be locked or opened with a snap lock 62.
- This arrangement has the additional advantage that the opening behind the two drives 60, 61 is freely accessible when the door is open. Additional controls for the television and / or, as in the example shown, a hard disk 63 can be stored in this opening.
- the hard disk can be easily dismantled when the door 64 is open without having to open the entire housing 2; it is connected to the electronics within the housing 2 with additional cables 630, 631.
- a plate 632 for example a printed circuit board, is mounted behind the hard disk and, among other things, allows the electronics and the display to be protected against electromagnetic influences from the drives 60, 61, 63.
