The slide connecting portion 34 is disposed at the right end position farthest from the other wall side connecting portion 29. In this backward state, the display panel 2 does not get in the way for people in the room, and the room can be used widely.

  6 and 7, the connecting members 16 and 17 protrude toward the front side from the wall fixing member 4 so that the distance between the connecting members 16 and 17 decreases toward the front side, and the slide connecting portion 34 slides. It is arranged on the left side of the right end position in the range.

  In order to change from the retracted state to the protruding state, the display panel 2 is pulled together with the support member 3 and the first connecting member 16 is rotated forward about the left wall side connecting portion 29. . As the first connecting member 16 rotates, the second connecting member 17 rotates forward about the slide connecting portion 34, and the slide connecting portion 34 moves to the left.

  Conversely, in order to change from the protruding state to the retracted state, the display panel 2 is pushed backward together with the support member 3, and the first connecting member 16 is rotated backward about the left wall side connecting portion 29. That's fine. At this time, as the first connecting member 16 rotates, the second connecting member 17 rotates backward until it is parallel to the wall surface W around the slide connecting portion 34 and the slide connecting portion 34 slides. Move to the right until it is located at the right edge of.

  The front-rear position and the left-right position of the support member 3 in the protruding state are determined by the forward rotation amount of the first connecting member 16 (that is, the inclination with respect to the wall surface W). In addition, the inclination of the support member 3 in the protruding state with respect to the wall surface W in plan view is determined by the left and right positions of the slide connecting portion 34. Therefore, the display panel 2 can be changed to a desired position and inclination by changing the forward rotation amount of the first connecting member 16 and the left and right positions of the slide connecting portion 34.

  FIG. 6A shows a state in which the display panel 2 is parallel to the wall surface W in the protruding state, the panel-side connecting portions 28 are arranged at the same position in the front-rear direction, and the support member 3 is parallel to the wall surface W.

Is arranged in front of the soft closing means 47 when it is in the operation start position.

  The soft closing means 47 includes a drawing means and a buffer means.

  The retracting means drives the slide connecting portion 34, which has moved from the left side to the right end position of the slide range from the left side, to the right end position, thereby moving the wall side connected portion 22 of the second connecting member 17 to the right side. Then, the supporting member 3 supporting the display panel 2 is set in a retracted state along the wall surface W.

  The retracting means includes a catched portion 48 provided in the slide connecting portion 34 and a retracting mechanism portion 50 included in the soft close unit 49 provided in the sub plate 13.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a protrusion 51 located at the center of rotation of the roller 42 projects downward from the lower roller 42 of the upper and lower rollers 41, 42 constituting the slide coupling portion 34.

  A long hole 52 is formed on the bottom of the lower guide rail 38 in which the roller 42 is accommodated. The protrusion 51 is inserted into the long hole 52 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. The lower part of the protrusion 51 protrudes below the guide rail 38, and the catched part 48 is constituted by this part.

  The pull-in mechanism unit 50 is disposed immediately below the guide rail 38 and includes a catcher 55, a drive unit 56 that drives the catcher 55, and a guide member 57.

  The guide member 57 is fixedly provided at the right end portion of the soft close unit 49, and includes a lock portion 58 constituted by the left side surface portion thereof and a rail portion 59 constituted by the front surface portion.

  Inside the guide member 57, there is formed a slide groove 60 which is long to the left and right and opens to the left and to the front. The opening 61 of the slide groove 60 is formed across the lock part 58 and the rail part 59.

  The drive unit 56 includes a moving member 62 that is long to the left and right and is slidable in the left-right direction with respect to the sub-plate 13, and an elastic member 63 that urges an elastic force in a direction to drive the moving member 62 to the right It consists of

  The elastic member 63 is constituted by a tension spring housed inside the moving member 62. The elastic member 63 has a right end connected to the sub-plate 13 and a left end connected to the moving member 62. The elastic member 63 always biases the moving member 62 toward the right.

  The catcher 55 is detachably engageable with the catched portion 48, and is attached to the right end portion of the moving member 62 so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis.

  The catcher 55 has a thin upper and lower thickness, and is formed in a substantially U shape in plan view with a pivotal support portion 64 pivotally supported by the moving member 62 and claw portions 65a and 65b protruding from both sides of the pivotal support portion 64. An opening 66 that opens to the front side is formed between 65a and 65b.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the catcher 55 opens from the standby position in which the opening 66 opens diagonally to the left as shown in FIG. 8, and the catcher 55 opens in the forward direction as shown in FIG. It can be rotated in the range up to the combined posture. A guided portion 67 protruding downward is formed on the left side of the catcher 55.

  The right end portion of the moving member 62 that pivotally supports the catcher 55 is accommodated in the slide groove 60 of the guide member 57 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. Both the claw portions 65 a and 65 b of the catcher 55 protrude outward from the guide member 57 through the slide groove 60.

  The guided portion 67 of the catcher 55 is slid along a guide surface constituted by the outer surface of the rail portion 59 and the outer surface of the lock portion 58 when the catcher 55 moves in the left-right direction together with the moving member 62. As a result, the catcher 55 moves from the standby posture in which the guided portion 67 is along the outer surface of the lock portion 58 to the engaged posture in which the guided portion 67 is along the outer surface of the rail portion 59 as shown in FIG. It rotates smoothly within the range of.

  When the first connecting member 16 of the display panel support device 1 protrudes forward by a predetermined amount or more from the retracted position, the catcher 55 is in a standby posture and the guided portion 67 is in contact with the lock portion 58. The locked state shown in FIG. 8 is obtained. In the locked state, the catcher 55 is disposed at the passing position of the catched portion 48 with the right claw portion 65b positioned in front of the left claw portion 65a, and the left claw portion 65a passes through the catched portion 48. It is arranged behind the position.

  When the display panel support device 1 is changed from the protruding state to the retracted state, the catched portion 48 moves to the right together with the roller 42. At this time, the catch portion 48 is engaged (caught) with the catcher 55 when the roller 42 is positioned slightly to the left of the right end position of the slide range (hereinafter referred to as a predetermined position).

  Specifically, when the roller 42 has moved from the left side toward the predetermined position, first, the catched portion 48 passes through the front of the left claw portion 65a of the catcher 55 in the locked state and moves to the right side of the catcher 55. It contacts the claw portion 65b. When the catched portion 48 further moves to the right side, the right claw portion 65b is pressed to the right by the catched portion 48, whereby the catcher 55 is rotated from the standby posture to the engaged posture, and the catched portion is moved to the opening 66. 48 is engaged. As a result, the guided portion 67 is disengaged from the lock portion 58, and the moving member 62 and the catcher 55 are driven rightward by the elastic force of the elastic member 63.

  When the catcher 55 is driven to the right, the guided portion 67 engaged with the catcher 55 is also driven to the right, and stops when the roller 42 moves to the right end position of the slide range as shown in FIG. Then, as the slide connecting portion 34 is driven to the right end position of the slide range in this way, the wall side connected portion 22 of the second connecting member 17 connected to the slide connecting portion 34 is driven rightward. The display panel support device 1 automatically enters the retracted state.

  On the contrary, when the display panel support device 1 is changed from the retracted state to the protruding state, the roller 42 moves to the left together with the catched portion 48 and the catcher 55 engaged therewith as the first connecting member 16 rotates. When the slide connecting portion 34 (roller 42) moves to the predetermined position in the slide range, the catched portion 48 and the catcher 55 are disengaged.

  That is, when the roller 42 moves leftward from the right end position of the slide range toward the predetermined position, the left claw portion 65a of the catcher 55 is first pressed leftward by the catched portion 48 that moves to the left. The catcher 55 moves to the left against the elastic force of the elastic member 63 together with the moving member 62 while maintaining the engagement posture.

  When the roller 42 moves to a predetermined position, the guided portion 67 is detached from the rail portion 59 and is locked along the locking portion 58, and the left claw portion 65 a of the catcher 55 is moved by the caught portion 48. When pressed to the left, the catcher 55 rotates from the engagement posture to the standby posture, whereby the catched portion 48 and the catcher 55 are disengaged (released). Thereafter, the catched portion 48 that is detached from the catcher 55 moves to the left together with the roller 42 connected to the second connecting member 17.

  The buffer means buffers the operation of the slide connecting portion 34 when the slide connecting portion 34 moves from the predetermined position to the right end position, and thereby the support member 3 supporting the display panel 2 is retracted from the protruding state. It is intended to reduce the impact that occurs when

  The buffer means includes a shock absorber 68 provided in the soft close unit 49, a catched portion 48, a catcher 55, and a moving member 62 that constitute the pull-in means.

  The shock absorber 68 is a telescopic type that expands and contracts in the left-right direction, and is a one-way type that generates a resistance force only when contracted, and is disposed directly below the moving member 62. The shock absorber 68 is composed of a cylinder 69 disposed on the right side and a rod 70 provided so as to be able to be inserted into and removed from the cylinder 69 to the left. The right cylinder 69 is connected to the sub-plate 13, and the left rod 70 is connected to the moving member 62.

  The shock absorber 68 cushions the rightward movement of the moving member 62 when the display panel support device 1 is changed from the protruding state to the retracted state. Therefore, when the drive unit 56 drives the catcher 55 to the right, the operation of the roller 42 that engages with the catcher 55 and drives to the right together with the catcher 55 is buffered. From this stage to the retreat state, the first connecting member 16 that rotates relative to the wall fixing member 4 rotates and the support member 3 that rotates relative to the first connecting member 16 rotates. Dynamic movement becomes gradual.

  For this reason, even if the display panel support device 1 is operated vigorously to bring it into the retracted state, it is possible to prevent a large collision sound from being generated, for example, when the rollers 41 and 42 hit the stopper portion. In addition, this buffer means that when the display panel support device 1 is changed from the protruding state to the retracted state, a part of the human body is vigorously sandwiched between the display panel 2, the support member 3, and the wall surface W. It can also be prevented and safety can be enhanced.

  The display panel 2 supported by the display panel support device 1 may be a display such as an output screen of a computer, or may be a picture or a panel that does not emit light. The support member 3 of the present embodiment is separate from the display panel 2 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, but may be formed integrally with the display panel 2.

  Moreover, the shape of each connection member 16 and 17 may be a plate shape or a rod shape. In the present embodiment, each connecting portion 27 is constituted by a bearing and the connected portion 20 is constituted by a shaft portion. Conversely, the connecting portion 27 is constituted by a shaft portion, and the connected portion 20 is constituted by a bearing. May be.

  Further, in this embodiment, the range in which the retracting means and the buffer means act on the roller 42 is set from the position slightly on the left side to the right end position with respect to the right end position in the slide range.
