Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this specification, the same reference numerals are given to the same elements throughout.

[0009] Next, the terminal stand 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the terminal stand 100 (in a state where the sliding portion 2 is in the reset position) according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the terminal stand 100 in FIG. 1, showing the structure of the positioning mechanism 4. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the terminal stand 100 in a state where the sliding portion 2 is not in the reset position. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the terminal stand 100 in FIG. 3, showing the structure of the positioning mechanism 4. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the terminal stand 100 in FIG. 3, showing the structure of the biasing mechanism 5. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the terminal stand 100 in FIG. 3, showing the structure of the guide mechanism 6. FIG. 7 is an exploded front view showing the terminal stand 100. FIG. 8 is an exploded rear view showing the terminal stand 100.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the terminal stand 100 according to this embodiment is a stand for adjusting the angle and height of a terminal such as a smart terminal or a tablet terminal to be placed, and includes a base portion 1, a sliding portion 2, a pedestal 3, a positioning mechanism 4, a biasing mechanism 5, and a guide mechanism 6.

[0012] The base portion 1 is a substantially rectangular plate portion with one end hinged to the pedestal 3. The base portion 1 also has a housing recess 11, a pair of shaft support grooves 12, a through hole 13, a pair of rail installation grooves 14, a pair of guide grooves 15, and an opening 16.

[0013] The housing recess 11 is a housing portion for housing the positioning mechanism 4. The housing recess 11 extends along the longitudinal direction as the sliding direction of the base portion 1 and is formed at the central portion of the base portion 1 so as to be recessed from the front surface as one surface of the base portion 1.

[0014] The pair of shaft support grooves 12 are support grooves for swingably supporting a rotation shaft 42 (to be described later) of the positioning mechanism 4. The pair of shaft support grooves 12 are formed on the front surface of the base portion 1 so as to be located on both sides of the housing recess 11. The pair of shaft support grooves 12 communicate with the housing recess 11 so as to extend along the width direction of the base portion 1.

[0015] The through hole 13 is configured such that the other end portion 411 (to be described later) of the positioning mechanism 4 can penetrate therethrough. A through hole 13 that communicates the housing recess 11 with the back surface side as the other surface side of the base portion 1 is formed on the bottom wall of the housing recess 11 so as to be located at one end portion of the housing recess 11. Note that one end portion of the housing recess 11 is closer to one end portion of the base portion 1 than the other end portion of the housing recess 11.

[0016] Since the positioning mechanism 4 is housed in the housing recess 11 that is recessed from the front surface of the base portion 1, portions of the positioning mechanism 4 other than the other end portion 411 cannot be visually recognized from the back surface side of the base portion 1. As a result, the aesthetic appearance of the entire terminal stand 100 can be improved.

[0017] A pair of rail installation grooves 14 extend along the longitudinal direction of the base portion 1 and are formed on the front surface of the base portion 1 so as to sandwich the accommodation recess 11. Rails 61 as a pair of guide portions constituting the guide mechanism 6 are respectively fixed to the pair of rail installation grooves 14 by screws 60. As a result, since the pair of rails 61 cannot be visually recognized from the back side of the base portion 1, the aesthetic appearance of the entire terminal stand 100 can be improved.

[0018] A pair of guide grooves 15 extend along the longitudinal direction of the base portion 1 and are formed on the front surface of the base portion 1 so as to be sandwiched between the accommodation recess 11 and the pair of rail installation grooves 14. The biasing mechanism 5 is accommodated in the pair of guide grooves 15. As a result, since the biasing mechanism 5 cannot be visually recognized from the back side of the base portion 1, the aesthetic appearance of the entire terminal stand 100 can be improved.

[0019] An opening 16 is formed in the base portion 1 at one end side of the accommodation recess 11, the pair of rail installation grooves 14, and the pair of guide grooves 15. Thereby, the weight of the base portion 1 can be reduced.

[0020] The sliding portion 2 is a substantially rectangular plate portion provided on the front surface of the base portion 1 so as to be slidable with respect to the base portion 1. The sliding portion 2 also has a plurality of engagement grooves 20, a pair of slider installation grooves 21, a placement portion 22, and a shielding layer 23.

[0021] At the central portion of the back surface as the opposing surface of the sliding portion 2 facing the base portion 1, a plurality of engagement grooves 20 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the sliding portion 2 as the sliding direction (that is, the longitudinal direction of the base portion 1) are formed. The plurality of engagement grooves 20 are engagement portions that engage with one end portion 412 as an engaged portion of the positioning mechanism 4 described later.

[0022] A pair of slider installation grooves 21 are formed on the back surface of the sliding portion 2 so as to sandwich the engagement groove 20 and extend along the longitudinal direction of the sliding portion 2. In the pair of slider installation grooves 21, sliders 62 as a pair of guided portions constituting the guide mechanism 6 are fixed by screws 8 respectively. The pair of sliders 62 are respectively guided by a pair of rails 61. Thereby, the sliding portion 2 is provided in front of the base portion 1 so as to be slidable along the sliding direction with respect to the base portion 1.

[0023] The placement portion 22 is a placement pallet for placing the terminal. Also, the placement portion 22 is provided in front of the sliding portion 2.

[0024] The shielding layer 23 is provided in front of the sliding portion 2.

[0025] The pedestal 3 is a support seat for supporting the base portion 1, the sliding portion 2, etc. Also, one end of the pedestal 3 is hinge-connected to one end of the base portion 1. In other words, the base portion 1 is provided so as to be swingable with respect to the pedestal 3. Thereby, the angle of the terminal placed on the terminal stand 100 (specifically, the placement portion 22) can be easily adjusted.

[0026] The positioning mechanism 4 is housed in the housing recess 11. The positioning mechanism 4 is configured such that when not operated, the engagement groove 20 engages with one end portion 412, so that the sliding portion 2 is non-slidable on one side close to the reset position in the sliding direction and slidable on the other side away from the reset position in the sliding direction. On the other hand, when operated, the engagement between the engagement groove 20 and the one end portion 412 is released. Also, the positioning mechanism 4 has a positioning member 41, a pair of rotating shafts 42, and a compression coil spring 43 as a biasing portion. Note that the reset position is the position of the sliding portion 2 when the overlapping area between the base portion 1 and the sliding portion 2 is the largest.

[0027] The positioning member 41 is a seesaw part supported in the accommodation recess 11 so as to be swingable by a pair of rotary shafts 42 supported by a pair of shaft support grooves 12. The positioning member 41 has one end portion 412, the other end portion 411 as an operation portion, and a spring installation portion 413.

[0028] One end portion 412 is located on the other side in the sliding direction from the rotary shaft 42. The one end portion 412 has a regulating surface 414 and a guide surface 415.

[0029] The regulating surface 414 abuts against the side wall of the engaging groove 20 by the biasing force of the biasing mechanism 5 to regulate the sliding of the sliding portion 2 in one side in the sliding direction. Further, in a state where the one end portion 412 and the engaging groove 20 are engaged, the regulating surface 414 is configured to be orthogonal to the sliding direction in a cross-sectional view.

[0030] The guide surface 415 is formed on one side in the sliding direction from the regulating surface 414. When the sliding portion 2 is slid to the other side in the sliding direction, the guide surface 415 is pressed by the sliding portion 2 against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 43 and sinks into the inside of one surface of the base portion 1. Further, in a state where the one end portion 412 and the engaging groove 20 are engaged, the guide surface 415 is configured to descend toward one side in the sliding direction and be inclined with respect to the sliding direction in a cross-sectional view.

[0031] The other end portion 411 is located on one side in the sliding direction from the rotary shaft 42.

[0032] The spring installation portion 413 is located on the other side in the sliding direction from the rotary shaft 42 and is provided so as to face the bottom wall of the accommodation recess 11. A compression coil spring 43 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the spring installation portion 413.

[0033] The compression coil spring 43 provided on the outer peripheral side of the spring installation portion 413 is sandwiched between the positioning member 41 and the bottom wall of the accommodation recess 11. Thereby, the compression coil spring 43 can bias one end portion 412 of the positioning member 41 to project from the front surface of the base portion 1 and engage with the engaging groove 20, and can bias the other end portion 411 of the positioning member 41 to project from the back surface of the base portion 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the biasing portion is sandwiched between the positioning member 41 and the bottom wall of the housing recess 11, but it is not limited thereto. For example, one end portion 412 of the positioning member 41 may be biased to protrude from the front surface of the base portion 1 and engage with the engagement groove 20, and the other end portion 411 of the positioning member 41 may be biased to protrude from the back surface of the base portion 1, and it may be composed of a torsion coil spring.

[0035] And, in a state where the pair of rotary shafts 42 are respectively supported by the pair of shaft support grooves 12, the pair of screws 9 can prevent the pair of rotary shafts 42 from coming out of the pair of shaft support grooves 12 by closing the openings of the pair of shaft support grooves 12, respectively.

[0036] The biasing mechanism 5 connects the base portion 1 and the sliding portion 2, and biases the sliding portion 2 to slide to the reset position when the engagement between the engagement groove 20 and the one end portion 412 is released. The biasing mechanism 5 is composed of a tension coil spring 50 housed in the guide groove 15, with one end fixed to the base portion 1 by a screw 52 and the other end fixed to the sliding portion 2 by a screw 51. Note that one end of the tension coil spring 50 is fixed to the end portion on the opening 16 side of the guide groove 15 by a screw 52.

[0037] In a state where the one end portion 412 of the positioning mechanism 4 is engaged with the engagement groove 20, when the other end portion 411 of the positioning mechanism 4 is not operated (pressed), the sliding portion 2 is immovable to one side close to the reset position in the sliding direction and movable to the other side away from the reset position in the sliding direction.

[0038] That is, even when a force is applied to the sliding portion 2 to slide the sliding portion 2 to one side close to the reset position in the sliding direction, the side wall of the engagement groove 20 cannot overcome the regulation surface 414 by the contact between the side wall of the engagement groove 20 and the regulation surface 414. Thereby, the sliding portion 2 cannot slide to one side close to the reset position in the sliding direction.

[0039] When a force is applied to the sliding portion 2 so as to slide it to the other side away from the reset position in the sliding direction, the guide surface 415 is pressed by the sliding portion 2 against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 43 and sinks into the inside of one surface of the base portion 1. Therefore, the side wall of the engaging groove 20 can overcome the sinking guide surface 415. As a result, by switching the engagement between the one end portion 412 and the plurality of engaging grooves 20 arranged along the sliding direction, the sliding portion 2 can slide to the other side away from the reset position in the sliding direction. As a result, the area where the base portion 1 and the sliding portion 2 overlap can be gradually reduced, and the height of the sliding portion 2 with respect to the base portion 1 can be adjusted stepwise.

[0040] On the other hand, when the other end portion 411 of the positioning mechanism 4 is operated (pressed) against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 43 in a state where the one end portion 412 of the positioning mechanism 4 and the engaging groove 20 are engaged, the engagement between the engaging groove 20 and the one end portion 412 is released, and the sliding portion 2 slides to the reset position by the biasing of the biasing mechanism 5. Thereby, the sliding portion 2 can be quickly slid to the reset position by the biasing of the biasing mechanism 5 with a simple operation (that is, only by pressing the other end portion 411 of the positioning mechanism 4).

[0041] When the base portion 1 is swung relative to the pedestal 3 so that the back surface of the base portion 1 approaches the front surface of the pedestal 3, the terminal stand 100 switches from the use state to the storage state, and the other end portion 411 of the positioning mechanism 4 is pressed against the front surface of the pedestal 3. Then, the engagement between the engaging groove 20 and the one end portion 412 is released, and the sliding portion 2 slides to the reset position by the biasing of the biasing mechanism 5. Thereby, by simply swinging the base portion 1 relative to the pedestal 3 so that the back surface of the base portion 1 approaches the front surface of the pedestal 3 (that is, only by switching the terminal stand 100 from the use state to the storage state), the sliding portion 2 can be quickly slid to the reset position without operating the other end portion 411. As a result, the operability of the terminal stand 100 can be improved.

[0042] Next, the effects of the present embodiment will be described.

[0043] The terminal stand 100 according to this embodiment includes a base portion 1, a sliding portion 2 that is slidably provided on the front surface (one side) of the base portion 1 and has a mounting portion 22 on which a terminal can be mounted, and a plurality of engaging grooves 20 (engaging portions) that are arranged along the sliding direction on the back surface (opposing surface) facing the base portion 1, a positioning mechanism 4 that is provided on the base portion 1 and has one end portion 412 (engaged portion) that can be engaged with any one of the plurality of engaging grooves 20 (engaging portions), and when not operated, the engaging groove 20 (engaging portion) engages with the one end portion 412 (engaged portion), while when operated, the engagement between the engaging groove 20 (engaging portion) and the one end portion 412 (engaged portion) is released, and a biasing mechanism 5 that connects the base portion 1 and the sliding portion 2 and biases the sliding portion 2 to slide to the reset position when the engagement between the engaging groove 20 (engaging portion) and the one end portion 412 (engaged portion) is released. In a state where the engaging groove 20 (engaging portion) and the one end portion 412 (engaged portion) are engaged, the positioning mechanism 4 is configured such that when not operated, the sliding portion 2 is non-slidable on one side close to the reset position in the sliding direction and slidable on the other side away from the reset position in the sliding direction.

[0044] According to this configuration, by switching the engagement between the one end portion 412 and the plurality of engaging grooves 20 arranged along the sliding direction, the sliding portion 2 can slide to the other side away from the reset position in the sliding direction. As a result, the area where the base portion 1 and the sliding portion 2 overlap can be gradually reduced, and the height of the sliding portion 2 with respect to the base portion 1 can be adjusted step by step.

[0045] In addition, in the present embodiment, the positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning member 41 swingably supported by the base portion 1, and a compression coil spring 43 (biasing portion) that biases one end portion 412, which is an engaged portion of the positioning member 41, to project from the front surface (one side surface) of the base portion 1 and engage with the engagement groove 20 (engaging portion), and biases the other end portion 411, which is an operation portion of the positioning member 41, to project from the back surface (the other side surface) of the base portion 1. When the other end portion 411 (operation portion) protruding from the back surface (the other side surface) of the base portion 1 is operated and pressed against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 43 (biasing portion), the engagement between the engagement groove 20 (engaging portion) and the one end portion 412 (engaged portion) is released as the positioning member 41 swings, and the sliding portion 2 slides to the reset position by the biasing of the biasing mechanism 5.

[0046] According to this configuration, by a simple operation (that is, simply pressing the other end portion 411 of the positioning mechanism 4), the sliding portion 2 can be quickly slid to the reset position by the biasing of the biasing mechanism 5.

[0047] In addition, in the present embodiment, the engaging portion is constituted by the engagement groove 20, and the one end portion 412 (engaged portion) has a regulating surface 414 that abuts against the side wall of the engagement groove 20 by the biasing force of the biasing mechanism 5 and regulates the sliding of the sliding portion 2 in one direction of the sliding direction, and a guide surface 415 formed on one side in the sliding direction with respect to the regulating surface 414. When the sliding portion 2 is slid in the other direction of the sliding direction, the sliding portion 2 presses against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 43 (biasing portion) and sinks inside the front surface (one side surface) of the base portion 1.

[0048] Even when a force is applied to the sliding portion 2 so as to slide the sliding portion 2 to one side close to the reset position in the sliding direction, the side wall of the engagement groove 20 cannot overcome the regulating surface 414 due to the contact between the side wall of the engagement groove 20 and the regulating surface 414. As a result, the sliding portion 2 cannot slide to one side close to the reset position in the sliding direction.

[0049] When a force is applied to the sliding part 2 so as to slide it to the other side away from the reset position in the sliding direction, the guide surface 415 is pressed by the sliding part 2 against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 43 and sinks into the inside of one surface of the base part 1. Therefore, the side wall of the engagement groove 20 can overcome the sunken guide surface 415. As a result, the sliding part 2 can slide to the other side away from the reset position in the sliding direction.

[0050] Also, in the present embodiment, a housing recess 11 that recesses from the front surface (one surface) of the base part 1 is formed in the base part 1. A positioning member 41 is housed in the housing recess 11, and the compression coil spring 43 (biasing part) is housed between the bottom wall of the housing recess 11 and one end part 412 (engaged part).

[0051] According to this configuration, since the positioning mechanism 4 is housed in the housing recess 11 that recesses from the front surface of the base part 1, it is impossible to visually recognize parts other than the other end part 411 of the positioning mechanism 4 from the back side of the base part 1. As a result, the aesthetic appearance of the entire terminal stand 100 can be improved.

[0052] Also, the compression coil spring 43 can bias one end part 412 of the positioning member 41 to project from the front surface of the base part 1 and engage with the engagement groove 20, and can bias the other end part 411 of the positioning member 41 to project from the back surface of the base part 1.

[0053] Also, in the present embodiment, a through hole 13 that communicates the housing recess 11 with the other surface side of the base part 1 is formed in the bottom wall of the housing recess 11, and the through hole 13 is configured such that the other end part 411 (operation part) can pass through it.

[0054] According to this configuration, the through hole 13 can be easily formed as compared with a configuration in which the through hole is not formed in the bottom wall of the housing recess 11.

[0055] In addition, in the present embodiment, a guide mechanism 6 for guiding the sliding portion 2 along the sliding direction is further provided. The guide mechanism 6 includes a pair of rails 61 (guide portions) provided on the base portion 1 and extending along the sliding direction, and a pair of sliders 62 (guided portions) provided on the sliding portion 2 and guided by the pair of rails 61 (guide portions). The accommodation recess 11 is formed between the pair of rails 61 (guide portions).

[0056] According to this configuration, the sliding portion 2 can be provided on the front surface of the base portion 1 so as to be slidable along the sliding direction with respect to the base portion 1.

[0057] In addition, in the present embodiment, a guide groove 15 extending along the sliding direction is formed on the front surface (one surface) of the base portion 1. The biasing mechanism 5 is composed of a tension coil spring 50 accommodated in the guide groove 15, with one end fixed to the base portion 1 and the other end fixed to the sliding portion 2.

[0058] According to this configuration, since the biasing mechanism 5 cannot be visually recognized from the back side of the base portion 1, the aesthetic appearance of the entire terminal stand 100 can be improved.

[0059] In addition, the biasing mechanism 5 can be easily configured by the tension coil spring 50.

[0060] In addition, in the present embodiment, a pedestal 3 hinged to the base portion 1 is further provided. When the base portion 1 or the pedestal 3 is swung so that the other end portion 411 (operation portion) is pressed by the pedestal 3, the engagement between the engagement groove 20 (engagement portion) and the one end portion 412 (engaged portion) is released.

[0061] According to this configuration, by simply swinging the base portion 1 with respect to the pedestal 3 so that the back surface of the base portion 1 and the front surface of the pedestal 3 approach each other (that is, by simply switching the terminal stand 100 from the use state to the storage state), the sliding portion 2 can be quickly slid to the reset position without operating the other end portion 411. As a result, the operability of the terminal stand 100 can be improved.

[0062] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above embodiments merely show some application examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to the specific configurations of the above embodiments.
