Description

The present invention relates to a display mounting device and an article housing structure including the same.
More specifically, it is a display mounting apparatus for mounting a display to a mounting target, and allows a mounting space to be used for storage and removal of articles or for an operator to work on the mounting target. The present invention relates to an article that prevents a display from coming into contact with the article accommodated in the article and an article accommodation structure including the same.

  In recent years, displays such as television receivers and personal computers (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “TVs” and “PCs”) have shifted from CRT displays to flat panel displays such as lightweight and thin liquid crystal displays. . As a result, the installation area of the display in the TV stand and PC stand has been reduced.

For example, Patent Literature 1 proposes a television mounting device for such a flat-screen television and a floor head with a television provided with the television mounting device. According to this, since the flat-screen television is mounted in a state of being suspended from the ceiling portion of the floor-top base, it is disclosed that the top surface of the base portion of the floor-top base can be used.

The roller 51 is provided in a state of protruding slightly upward from the spacer body 52 and contacts the bottom surface portion 131 of the ceiling portion 13. Thereby, the friction resistance with respect to the bottom face part 131 of the ceiling part 13 can be suppressed, and the thin television T can be rotated with a light operation force. The spacer body 52 has a required number (six locations in this embodiment) of fan-shaped openings (reference numerals omitted).

  The display rotating body 6 and the display mounting body 8 are integrally formed by bending a long plate-shaped metal plate. The display rotating body 6 is a rotating body that rotates in the horizontal direction above the use space S. The display attachment body 8 is attached to the display rotation body 6 in a state where the thin television T is suspended at a position separated from the rotation center of the display rotation body 6 in the rotation radius direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the display rotator 6 has a shape in which a rectangular plate is added to a semicircular portion having a size in which the spacer 5 is cut in half. And the side surface L-shaped display attachment body 8 is continuously provided by the same metal plate at the front end edge of the portion corresponding to the rectangular plate. With such a configuration, the flat-screen television T rotates in a horizontal direction at a position spaced in the radial direction of rotation from the rotation center, and a use space is provided between the rotation center of the flat-screen television T and the thin-screen television T.

  The display rotating body 6 is provided with a required number of bolt holes 61 (two in this embodiment) that can be fitted into the suspended body 4. By changing the position of the bolt hole 61 fitted into the suspended body 4, the distance from the suspended body 4 to the display mounting body 8, that is, the rotation radius of the display mounting body 8 with the suspended body 4 as the rotation center can be adjusted.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective explanatory view showing an angle adjusting mechanism of a thin television provided in the display mounting body. For convenience of explanation, the display rotating body and the display mounting body are represented by imaginary lines.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a mounting plate 82, which is a plate-shaped mounting portion, is provided on the front side of the display mounting body 8 via an angle adjusting member 81. The back surface of the thin television T is screwed to the mounting plate 82. In this embodiment, the angle adjusting member 81 is formed by connecting two hinges 811 and 812 with screws. By adjusting the opening degree of the hinges 811 and 812, the inclination angle of the thin television T can be adjusted by changing the inclination angle of the mounting plate 82.

  The display mounting body 8 is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes 813 arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval in the height direction. A hinge 811 is screwed into the adjustment hole 813, and the height of the mounting plate 82 can be adjusted by changing the screwing position. Thereby, it can respond also to the thin television T with a slightly different display surface.

  The display mounting body 8 is provided with a required number (two in this embodiment) of slightly larger holes 84. As shown in FIG. 5, the wiring cord 32 of the thin television T can be pulled out from the hole 84. As the wiring cord 32 of the thin television T, it is preferable to employ a wiring cord 32 having a low flexibility so as not to break.

  The display mounting body 8 has a mounting portion 83 in which the edge portion at the tip is bent slightly inclined upward. As a result, when the thin television T is tilted with the display surface 31 facing slightly upward, the bottom portion of the thin television T hits the mounting portion 83 to support the thin television T in a tilted state.

  As described above, the support plate 7, which is a circular metal plate, is positioned below the display rotating body 6. Reference numeral 71 denotes a bolt hole that can be fitted into the suspended body 4. The support plate 7 supports and suppresses that the display rotating body 6 inclines downward toward the display mounting body 8 from the lower side due to the weight of the thin television T.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a hook 72 for hooking the wiring cord 32 drawn out from the hole 84 of the display mounting body 8 is provided at a required position of the bottom surface portion of the support plate 7. The hook 72 constitutes a holding portion that holds the wiring cord 32 so as not to hang down. The wiring cord 32 can be pulled out from the hole 121 provided in the back member 12 (see FIG. 1) of the floor head base 1 to the back of the floor head base 1.

(Work)
The display mounting device 2 operates as follows.
From the state shown in FIG. 1 in which the flat-screen TV T faces the front side, when the flat-screen TV T is pushed by hand, for example, in the right direction or the left direction, the spacer 5, the display rotating body 6, and the support plate shown in FIGS. 7 and the display mounting body 8 rotate around the bolt 41 of the suspended body 4 as the center of rotation. Thereby, for example, as shown by an imaginary line in FIGS. 2 and 3 (shown when rotated to the right), the flat-screen TV T requires a horizontal direction around the use space S with the display surface 31 facing outward. Turn around a range of angles. Therefore, when not watching the television, the thin television T can be moved backward.

  In the present embodiment, the flat-screen television T is designed to turn leftward or rightward within an angle range of about 180 degrees on the front side. In addition, if the rotation radius of the flat-screen TV T is reduced or the flat-screen TV T is attached to the floor head base 1 having a large use space S, the flat-screen TV T can be rotated 360 degrees.

  As described above, when the flat-screen TV T is pushed by hand, the flat-screen TV T rotates in the horizontal direction around the use space S, so that the flat-screen TV T does not cross the use space S. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the thin TV T from coming into contact with an article such as a vase or a cup placed in the use space S and falling down.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, even when a thin television T having a large screen is attached, the articles placed in the use space S can be easily taken in and out by moving the thin television T. Further, since the flat-screen TV T rotates in the horizontal direction around the use space S, the flat-screen TV is moved out of the floor head stand 1 unlike the case where the flat-screen TV T is moved sideways and articles are taken in and out. T can be prevented from protruding greatly. Therefore, there is no problem that the flat-screen TV T hits an infusion stand or the like placed beside the floor head 1.

7 and 8 are explanatory views showing a second embodiment of the display mounting apparatus according to the present invention and the article housing structure including the display mounting apparatus.
FIG. 7 is a partially enlarged side view explanatory view showing a state in which the display mounting device is mounted on the floor head base, and shows a cross section of the ceiling portion of the floor head base so that the mounting state of the display mounting device can be understood. .
FIG. 8 is a schematic explanatory view showing a cross section corresponding to the II portion of FIG. In FIG. 8, the suspended portion 4, the spacer 5, and the support plate 7 are represented by imaginary lines so that the positional relationship between the suspended body 4 and the hinge 85 can be understood. Further, the wiring cord 32 illustrated in FIG. 7 is omitted.

  In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and shown to the same or equivalent location as Example 1. FIG. Moreover, about the location demonstrated in Example 1, description is abbreviate | omitted and difference is mainly demonstrated.

  In the display mounting device 2 a according to the second embodiment, the display rotating body 6 a and the display mounting body 8 a are configured as separate members, and are connected by a hinge 85. The hinge 85, together with the display attachment body 8a, attaches the thin television T to the display rotation body 6 at a position away from the rotation center of the display rotation body 6a. The display mounting body 8a is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the back (see FIG. 8), and can be screwed to the back surface of the thin television T. Two or more hinges 85 can be arranged in parallel.

  As the hinge 85, “free stop hinge” (trade name, model number TH-125-1, manufactured by Mito Kogyo Co., Ltd.) is used. The hinge 85 can make the mounting plate 42 stationary at an arbitrary opening / closing angle even when a considerable load is applied in the opening / closing direction of the two mounting plates 851 and 852 on both sides of the central axis. Since the structure of the hinge 85 is a known technique, a detailed description thereof is omitted. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 7, the display mounting body 8 to which the thin television T is attached can be stopped at a required angle, and the flat television T can be fixed at an easy-to-view angle.

  Other configurations and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  Note that the terms and expressions used in this specification are merely explanatory and are not restrictive, and do not exclude terms and expressions equivalent to the above terms and expressions. The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea.
