Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a television stand, and more particularly to a television stand that can be used either as a single unit or in a state where multiple units are connected together. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a television board has been known as furniture for installing a television receiver (hereinafter, television) in a room (see, for example, Patent Document 1). A television board is not only functional in that it installs the television at a height that makes it easy to watch and stores wiring and peripheral devices, but also emphasizes design as an interior piece of furniture for the room.

[0003] Televisions are sold in a variety of sizes, from relatively small ones with screen sizes of less than 40V to relatively large ones with screen sizes of over 60V. As the screen size increases, the weight of the television also increases. For this reason, television boards are available in multiple sizes, for example for small televisions, medium televisions, and large televisions, to accommodate the diversification of television sizes.

[0010] The television board according to one embodiment of the present invention is a television board that can be used as a single unit or can be used in a state where multiple units are connected together. The television stand comprises a main body for placing the television thereon and legs provided at a lower portion of the main body; The body includes: A top plate, a bottom plate, and a side plate connecting the top plate and the bottom plate, The leg portion is A mounting portion for mounting to the bottom plate is provided. When connecting multiple TV boards, The side panel of one of the adjacent television boards is connected to the side panel of the other of the adjacent television boards, The bottom plate of one of the adjacent television boards and the bottom plate of the other television board are connected to each other (first configuration).

[0011] According to the above configuration, the TV board can be used either as a single unit or as a combination of multiple units. A relatively small TV can be installed on a single TV board, while a relatively large TV can be installed on top of multiple TV boards that are combined together. When connecting television boards, the side panels and bottom panels of adjacent television boards are connected to each other, so that multiple television boards can be connected reliably and even a relatively large, heavy television can be stably installed. This allows the television board to be adapted to a variety of television sizes without increasing the variety of sizes.

[0012] In the first configuration, When connecting multiple TV boards, The mounting portion may be attached so as to straddle the bottom plate of one of the adjacent TV boards and the bottom plate of the other of the TV boards, thereby connecting the bottom plates of the adjacent TV boards to each other (second configuration).

[0013] According to the above configuration, when a plurality of television boards are connected to each other, the mounting portion is attached so as to straddle the bottom plates of adjacent television boards to connect the bottom plates of the adjacent television boards to each other. Therefore, adjacent television boards can be connected with a simple configuration without increasing the number of members for connecting the bottom plates together.

[0014] In the second configuration, The bottom plate has: A plurality of mounting holes for mounting the legs are pre-formed, When connecting multiple TV boards, The mounting portion may be attached so as to straddle adjacent bottom plates by using a portion of the plurality of mounting holes formed in one adjacent bottom plate and a portion of the plurality of mounting holes formed in the other adjacent bottom plate (third configuration).

[0015] According to the above configuration, the bottom plate has a plurality of mounting holes formed in advance for attaching the legs, and when connecting multiple television boards, some of the mounting holes are used to attach the mounting parts so as to straddle adjacent bottom plates. Therefore, adjacent television boards can be connected without providing additional mounting holes for connecting the bottom plates to each other.

[0016] In the third configuration, The leg portion is arranged so as to straddle the bottom plate of the adjacent TV board, It may be attached vertically below the interconnected side panels (fourth configuration).

[0017] According to the above configuration, the legs arranged to straddle the bottom plates of adjacent television boards are attached vertically below the mutually connected side plates. Even when the television is placed so as to straddle the connecting position of the television board, the weight of the television can be supported by the side panel and the legs attached vertically below the side panel. This allows a relatively large television to be stably placed on the connected television board.

[0018] In any one of the first to fourth configurations, The main body is divided in a left-right direction so that a plurality of storage sections are arranged, Each of the storage compartments has a different type of door on the front side, The type of the door provided in each of the storage sections may be changeable (fifth configuration).

[0019] According to the above configuration, different types of doors are provided for the left and right storage sections, and the types of the doors can be interchanged between the left and right storage sections. This allows the user to change the design of the TV stand according to their preferences, whether it is used as a single unit or multiple units are connected together.

[0020] [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the TV board 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The same or corresponding parts in the drawings are given the same reference numerals and their description will not be repeated. In order to make the description easier to understand, the drawings referred to below show simplified or schematic configurations and omit some components. In addition, the dimensional ratios between the components shown in each drawing do not necessarily represent the actual dimensional ratios.

[0021] [Overall configuration] First, the overall configuration of the TV board 100 will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the TV board 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of the TV board 100. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of two TV boards 100 connected together. Fig. 4 is a front view of two TV boards 100 connected together. In the following figures, arrow R indicates the right direction of the TV board 100, and arrow L indicates the left direction. Arrow U indicates the upward direction, and arrow D indicates the downward direction. Arrow F indicates the forward direction, and arrow B indicates the backward direction.

[0022] The TV board 100 of this embodiment is so-called prefabricated furniture (knock-down furniture). The TV board 100 shown in Figs. 1 to 4 shows a completed state after assembly. The TV board 100 is sold in a packaged state with parts such as board members, screws, metal fittings, etc., and is configured so that the user can assemble it at home, etc. To make it easier for the user to assemble, the board members, etc. are prefabricated, and mounting holes, etc. are also preformed. The user can easily assemble it using simple tools while referring to the assembly instructions.

[0023] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the TV board 100 can be used in a single state, or in a state where multiple TV boards 100 are connected together, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. When the TV 200 to be installed is relatively small, for example, less than 40 inches, the TV board 100 can be used in a single state. Also, when the TV 200 to be installed is, for example, larger than 50 inches, the TV boards 100 can be used in a connected state. In the following explanation, a case where two TV boards 100 are connected together will be explained, but it is also possible to connect three or more TV boards 100 together.

[0024] Whether to use one TV board 100 or to use multiple TV boards connected together can be selected according to the user's preference, regardless of the size of the installed TV 200. For example, a relatively small TV 200 may be installed on two connected TV boards 100, or other interior items may be arranged without installing a TV 200.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the TV board 100 includes a main body 10 and legs 30. The main body 10 is a portion on which the TV 200 is placed. The legs 30 are provided on the lower part of the main body 10 and are members that support the main body 10 on the floor surface. The main body 10 and the legs 30 are configured to have sufficient strength in an assembled state so that the TV 200 can be placed on the upper part of the main body 10.

[0026] The main body 10 has a top plate 11, a bottom plate 13, side plates 15 (right side plate 15R, left side plate 15L), a back plate (not shown), and a partition plate 17. The top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13 are connected by the side plates 15, the back plate, and the partition plate 17 to form a box-shaped main body 10 with an open front.

[0027] An accommodation space is formed inside the main body 10. The accommodation space is divided by a partition plate 17, and accommodation sections 20 (right accommodation section 20R, left accommodation section 20L) divided in two in the left-right direction are arranged. Peripheral devices such as a recording device, wiring, etc. can be stored in each accommodation section 20 (right accommodation section 20R, left accommodation section 20L). The height position of a shelf board (not shown) provided in each accommodation section 20 (right accommodation section 20R, left accommodation section 20L) can be changed.

[0028] The right storage section 20R and the left storage section 20L are provided with different types of doors 50 on their front sides. In Figs. 1 and 2, a wooden door 50W is provided on the front side of the right storage section 20R, and a glass door 50G is provided on the left storage section 20L. The wooden door 50W has a hinge on the bottom and can be opened and closed in the vertical direction. The glass door 50G has a hinge on the left side and is installed to open to the left. It is also possible to change the position of the hinge to the right side and make the glass door 50G open to the right side.

[0029] The combination of each storage section 20 (right storage section 20R, left storage section 20L) and the type of door can be changed when assembling the TV board 100. In Figs. 1 and 2, the right storage section 20R is provided with a wooden door 50W and the left storage section 20L is provided with a glass door 50G, but as in the TV board 100 on the left side of Figs. 3 and 4, it is also possible to provide the right storage section 20R with a glass door 50G and the left storage section 20L with a wooden door 50W. This allows the design of the TV board 100 to be changed according to the user's preferences.

[0030] In the present embodiment, the TV board 100 has a door type in which the right storage section 20R and the left storage section 20L are both provided with a door 50 (wooden door 50W, glass door 50G) on the front and a shelf board is provided inside, but is not limited to this. For example, one of the right storage section 20R or the left storage section 20L may be a drawer type and the other may be a door type. In addition, the positions of the door type and the drawer type may be interchangeable between the left and right.

[0031] Connection holes 18 are formed in advance in the side panels 15 (right panel 15R, left panel 15L) to be used when connecting multiple TV boards 100. The connection holes 18 are formed to penetrate the side panels 15. In FIG. 1, the connection holes 18 are exposed, but if the connection holes 18 are not used, they may be covered with a seal or the like to hide the holes.

[0032] The leg 30 has an attachment portion 31 and a leg main body 33. The attachment portion 31 is a portion for attaching the leg 30 to the bottom plate 13 (see Figs. 5 and 6). The leg main body 33 is provided so as to extend vertically downward from the attachment portion 31. When the TV board 100 of this embodiment is used as a single unit, five legs 30 are provided, and when two TV boards 100 are used in a connected state, a total of eight legs 30 are provided (see Figs. 5 and 6).

[0033] [Connecting TV boards] Next, a description will be given of assembly when two TV boards 100 are connected together. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the bottom surfaces 13 of two TV boards 100 are connected together. Fig. 6 is a front view showing a state in which the side panels 15 of two TV boards 100 are connected together.

[0034] 5 and 6, when two TV boards 100 are connected to each other, the side panels 15 and the bottom panels 13 of adjacent TV boards 100 are connected to each other. The connection between the side panels 15 and the bottom panels 13 of the TV boards 100 will be specifically described below.

[0035] [Bottom plate connection] 5, five mounting positions for mounting the legs 30 are preset on the bottom plate 13 of one TV board 100. The mounting positions are five in total, located near each corner of the bottom plate 13 and approximately at the center.

[0036] At each mounting position, a plurality of mounting holes 19 for mounting the leg portion 30 are formed in advance. The mounting holes 19 are formed to correspond to the through holes 35 provided in the mounting portion 31 of the leg portion 30. In this embodiment, four mounting holes 19 are formed at each mounting position of the leg portion 30.

[0037] When two TV boards 100 are connected together, the mounting portion 31 is attached so as to straddle the bottom plate 13 of the left TV board 100 and the bottom plate 13 of the right TV board 100, thereby connecting the bottom plates 13 of the left and right TV boards 100 to each other. That is, in the portions close to the connection positions of the two TV boards 100, the legs 30 are not attached separately to the bottom plates 13, but are attached so as to straddle the bottom plates 13 of the two boards.

[0038] When mounting parts 31 of legs 30 are attached so as to straddle two bottom plates 13, the mounting holes 19 closest to the adjacent TV board 100 are used among the multiple mounting holes 19 formed in each bottom plate 13, as shown in the partially enlarged view of Fig. 5. The positions of mounting holes 19 are preset so that mounting parts 31 can be attached across two bottom plates 13. Tapping screws 37 are used to attach legs 30 to mounting holes 19.

[0039] In this way, when two TV boards 100 are connected together, the mounting portion 31 is attached so as to straddle the bottom plates 13 of the adjacent TV boards 100, thereby connecting the bottom plates 13 of the adjacent TV boards 100 together. Therefore, it is possible to connect the adjacent TV boards 100 with a simple configuration without increasing the number of members for connecting the bottom plates 13 together.

[0040] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting holes 19 for mounting the legs 30 are formed in advance in the bottom plate 13, and when two TV boards 100 are to be connected, some of the mounting holes 19 are used to attach the mounting parts 31 so as to straddle adjacent bottom plates 19. For this reason, two adjacent TV boards 100 can be connected without providing additional mounting holes for connecting the bottom plates 13 to each other.

[0041] The legs 30 arranged to straddle the bottom plate 13 of the TV board 100 are attached vertically below the mutually connected side plates 15 (see FIG. 6). Therefore, even when the TV 200 is placed straddling two TV boards 100, the weight of the TV 200 can be supported by the side plates 15 and the legs 30 attached vertically below the side plates 15. Therefore, a relatively large TV 200 can be stably placed on the connected TV boards 100.

[0042] [Side panel connection] 6, the side panels 15 of adjacent TV boards 100 are connected to each other by using connection holes 18 formed in advance in the side panels 15. Specifically, the positions of the connection holes 18 formed in the right side panel 15R of the TV board 100 arranged on the left side and the left side panel 15L of the TV board 100 arranged on the right side are aligned, and the two panels are fastened together using two pairs of bolts 41 and nuts 43.

[0043] In this way, when two television boards 100 are connected together, the side panels 15 and bottom panels 13 of adjacent television boards 100 are connected together, respectively, so that the television boards 100 can be securely connected together, and even a relatively large television 200 that is heavy can be stably installed.

[0044] The two TV boards 100 can change the combination of the positions of the storage sections 20 (right storage section 20R, left storage section 20L) and the type of door when assembling the TV boards 100. This allows for a wide variety of combinations of the positions of the storage sections 20 (right storage section 20R, left storage section 20L) and the type of door, and allows the design of the TV board 100 to be changed according to the user's preferences.

[0045] [Variations] The TV board according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the shape of the main body 10, the shape of the legs 30, the arrangement of the storage sections 20 (right storage section 20R, left storage section 20L), and the combination of door types such as the wooden door 50W and the glass door 50G are not limited to those in the embodiment. In addition, the main body 10 may be provided in multiple color variations.

[0046] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above-mentioned embodiment is merely an example for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the above-mentioned embodiment can be appropriately modified and carried out without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
