Description

The present invention relates to furniture with a slide-holding function for a flat-screen TV that can be installed so that its orientation and position can be easily adjusted to furniture such as a TV board, and which does not fall over.

The number of flat-screen TVs that have been increasing recently, for example, for personal computers and small personal-type TVs, has a simple installation base that holds the lower part of the TV and is self-supporting. The installation frame is installed by construction, and the back of the TV is attached to the installation frame.

In general households, TVs are stored in furniture installation spaces such as TV boards. In the case of a small TV, even if it is thin, it is sufficient to use only the installation base. However, when the TV becomes large, the above-mentioned mounting frame is attached to the wall surface by construction to prevent falling, and the back of the TV is fixed to it.

However, once a large but heavy TV is installed, it may not be easy even if you want to change the orientation or position later, and there may be dissatisfaction. In order to solve this problem, a caster is attached to the holding table. However, the entire unit including the holding table needs to be moved, and only the television cannot be moved. Some TVs are pivotally supported on the mounting base, but the angle can be adjusted and the installation location cannot be adjusted.

The present invention relates to furniture with a slide holding function that allows easy adjustment of the angle of a television even after a flat-screen television is installed on the furniture body.

The main feature of the present invention is that a curved rail 2 is provided on the back of the furniture 1 and a column 3 is slidably mounted along the rail 2, and the back of the flat-screen TV 4 installed on the furniture 1 is attached to the column. 3 is maintained.

In the present invention, as described above, a curved rail 2 is provided on the back of the furniture 1, and the column 3 is slidably mounted along the rail 2. Since the back portion is held on the support column 3, the furniture 1 is placed on the floor surface, and the position of the flat-screen TV 4 is slid along the curve of the rail 2 with the desired position. Easy to adjust to the angle.

If the rails 2 are provided at two positions above and below the back of the furniture 1, the support column 3 is less twisted and the flat TV 4 can be slid smoothly. A child who can fully support In particular, by providing at least one of the upper and lower rails with guide side walls on both sides parallel to the sliding direction, the earthquake resistance can be enhanced.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a basic embodiment of the present invention installed in a corner. A furniture 1 has a shelf 10 for storing AV equipment and its peripheral accessories, a cabinet 11 and the like, and is thin on a top plate 12. A television 4 is placed. The back surface of the furniture 1 has an arc-shaped cross section or a gentle curve. Curved rails 2 and 2 are installed along the curved surface at two preferably upper and lower portions of the back surface. 2 is slidably joined along the rails 2 and 2. The board 5 mounted between the columns 3 and 3 is mounted with the mounting frame 13 of the thin television 4 and is mounted on the columns 3 and 3 so as to be movable up and down as needed. In this case, the board 5 may be slidable up and down with respect to the columns 2 and 2 or may be locked at an appropriate height.

Bearings 14 are mounted at two locations on the column 3 corresponding to the rails 2 and 2, and the bearings 14 are slidably guided on the rails 2. Some of the bearings 14 have a horizontal axis and others have a vertical axis. Reference numeral 15 denotes a lower end cover of the column 3.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which a caster 16 is attached to the lower end of the column 3. The rail 2 is provided along the curved surface of the back part of the furniture 1, and the bearing 14 provided at the corresponding position of the column 3 is attached to the curved rail 2. Guided slidably.

The bearing 14 mounted on the rail 3 may receive a vertical load with a horizontal axis up and down as shown in FIG. 3, or a combination of horizontal and vertical bearings 14 as shown in FIG. Further, the bearing 14 may be horizontally supported on the bottom of the rail 2 and arranged in a roller shape so that the lower end of the support column 2 is slid on the rotating bearing 14 while being guided by the rail 2.

When installing the flat-screen television 4, the attachment frame 13 attached to the television is attached to the panel 5, and the back portion of the flat-screen television 4 is attached to the attachment frame 13. Any type of the attachment frame 13 is attached to the television, but any type can be used.

An example is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 6, the mounting frame 13 has two or more television holding bars 23 mounted vertically on two or more parallel mounting bars 22, and screws 26 are mounted on the mounting holes 24 and the long holes 25 of the mounting bar 22. First, the attachment frame 13 is attached to the target location of the board 5. In this case, leveling is performed and the number of screws is adjusted according to the size of the flat-screen television 4.

Next, the mounting bracket 27 is attached to the back of the flat-screen television 4, and the mounting bracket 27 is inserted into the mounting hole 28 such as a dart hole of the TV holding bar 23 and is fixed downwardly. The thin TV 4 may be connected to the main body, AV equipment, speakers, power source, and the like in advance and bundled through the through hole 30. In this state, the thin television 4 may be installed so as to float from the top plate 12 of the furniture body 1, or the lower portion of the thin television 4 may be held on the stand 29 and placed on the top plate 12. A caster can also be used in combination.

When the board 5 can be moved up and down, the board 5 can be installed at the optimum height of the flat-screen TV 4 even if the mounting frame 13 of the board 5 is attached. Further, the upper and lower mounting positions of the mounting frame 13 can be adjusted and dealt with by moving the board 5 upward even for a large-sized thin television 4.

Further, if the upper end of the column 3 that supports the board 5 is fixed to the ceiling, sufficient earthquake resistance can be ensured even in the case of an ultra-large thin TV 4. In this case, the board 5 can be moved up and down. The size of the size that can be installed can be secured large, and it can be smoothly and smoothly handled from a relatively small size of around 20 to a size exceeding 50.

In the above example, the thin television 4 is installed so as to be floated from the top plate 12. However, for example, the load can be supported on the top plate 12 via a caster or the like. Further, a lock device that can fix the thin television 4 at an arbitrary position can be mounted between the rail 2 and the bearing 14 as required.

In addition, it is simplest to move the slide of the flat-screen television 4 by pushing it with a hand, but a manual handle or electric drive may of course be used. Furthermore, if one side of the board 5 can be protruded through an arm or the like, the range of angle adjustment of the screen of the thin television 4 by sliding movement along the curve of the rail 2 can be added.

The curve of the rail 2 may be an arc shape or a curve whose curvature changes as needed. A straight line can be included in a part. 7 to 11 show some examples of such arrangements. FIG. 7 is installed at the center of the wall surface W. The rail 2 on the back of the furniture 1 is formed in a curved shape as a whole. Yes. Although FIG. 8 is similarly installed in the center part of the wall surface W, the back center part of the furniture 1 is linear, and both ends of the rail 2 are curved. FIG. 9 is installed at a corner, and the rail 2 is entirely curved. FIG. 10 is installed at the right corner, and the right end of the rail 2 adjacent to the wall W is formed in a curved shape. In FIG. 11, the left end of the rail 2 is curved.

When installing flat TVs, especially large flat TVs, which have been increasing abundantly on furniture bodies such as relatively low low boards, the weight is so great that once they are installed, slight angle adjustment and movement are extremely possible. Although it is difficult, in the present invention, the thin TV 4 is mounted on the column 3 that can slide along the curved rail 2 provided on the back of the furniture 1. The flat TV 4 can be slid within the range and its orientation and position can be easily adjusted. At that time, it is not necessary to move the furniture together with the conventional furniture. Therefore, it is not necessary to call a contractor to perform adjustment work, and the slide can be adjusted to the desired angle and position at any time, so that the usability is greatly improved and stress does not accumulate.

Further, if the rail 2 is made up of two stages, and at least one of the rails 2 is restricted from being detached from the horizontal rail 2, the earthquake resistance of the thin television 4 by the support column 3 can be improved.
