Benefits of technology

[0011]In view of the above described problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a display apparatus with a stand that has a simple structure and can be folded easily so that a size of its package can be reduced and that transportation efficiency thereof can be improved.
[0017]According to the present invention, since the lock mechanism is provided so that the stand can be locked in the folded state, a size of the package can be reduced for improving transportation efficiency while an accidental tilting of the stand can be prevented when the display apparatus is put in or out from the package. In addition, adopting the lock mechanism in which the lock shaft is inserted in or detached from the hole formed in the stand clamping plate, a simple structure of the lock mechanism can be realized.

Problems solved by technology

However, the works of separating the stand from the display apparatus and combining them again take time and cause bad usability.
Therefore, when the display apparatus is put in or out from the package or on other occasions, the stand base may be tilted by chance, which can cause an accident.
Therefore, the structure thereof is complicated, and cost thereof is high.
As described above, the conventionally proposed structures for folding a stand of a display apparatus have various problems.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]FIG. 1 is a side phantom view of a display apparatus with a stand in a usable state, FIG. 2 is a side phantom view of the display apparatus with the stand in a folded state, FIG. 3 is a front phantom view of a hinge portion and the stand in the usable state, and FIG. 4 shows a state where a shaft is pressed in FIG. 3.

[0025]A display apparatus 10 is generally made up of a display portion 11, a stand 12 for the display portion 11 to stand, and a hinge portion 13 that supports the display portion 11 and the stand 12 in a tiltable manner. The stand 12 and the hinge portion 13 are covered with a resin cover 14 partially.

[0026]The display portion 11 is preferably a thin type such as a liquid crystal display apparatus or the like. If a thickness of the display portion 11 is smaller than a depth of the stand 12, a depth of the display apparatus 10 when the stand is folded becomes small so that the effect of the present invention can be obtained.

[0027]The stand 12 is made up of a plate...

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display portion, a stand for the display portion to stand, a hinge portion that supports the display portion and the stand in a tiltable manner, and a lock mechanism for locking the stand in a usable state and in a folded state.

Description

[0001]This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-123018 filed on Apr. 27, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a display apparatus, in particular a display apparatus equipped with a display portion, a stand for the display portion to stand, and a hinge portion that supports the display portion and the stand in a tiltable manner.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Recently, a thin display apparatus such as a liquid crystal TV set or a plasma TV set has become commonplace rapidly. This thin display apparatus can be hung on a wall for use, but in most cases it is set on a board by using a stand. Therefore, it can be said that a stand is essential to a thin display apparatus, and usually a thin display apparatus is sold with a stand that is attached to the apparatus.[0006]As a screen becomes thinner, a ratio of a stand to a display appa...
