Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a support structure for a television receiver attached to a vehicle seat.

(Prior art) For vehicle seats such as buses, trains or ships,
In consideration of user's convenience, attachments having various functions are provided, and among them, a television receiver is an important attachment component. In other words, for example, in a long-distance bus or the like that also runs at night, the seat is not used merely for passengers to sit, because the seated state must be maintained in a narrow place for a long time,
In order to spend comfortably without worrying about the state, the television receiver is also a so-called necessity.

However, the vehicle seats are installed with a small gap between them in order to effectively use the limited space in the vehicle. When a person leaves his / her seat, the television receiver may become an obstacle. Therefore, conventionally, a small television receiver is fixedly provided on an armrest or the like constituting a seat.

However, if the television receiver is to be fixedly provided at a place where a seat is provided, the television receiver must be small in size as described above. Such a television receiver is very difficult for a user sitting in a vehicle seat to see, because the vehicle may shake. In that case, a relatively large television receiver must be employed, but the large television receiver is in the way obstructive to the use of the seat.

Therefore, the present inventors have found that even a relatively large television receiver can be made stable when it is used, and that it does not interfere with the use of the seat when not in use. The present invention has been completed as a result of various studies on how to protect not only the television receiver but also the television receiver.

(Problems to be solved by the present invention) The present invention has been made based on the above-described background, and the problems to be solved are the difficulty in viewing a television receiver in a conventional seat and the obstruction when the television receiver is not used. It is to become.

The object of the present invention is to provide a television which can be stored and deployed almost irrespective of the state of the seat and without adversely affecting the television receiver itself, and which can be deployed at an optimum position of the user. An object of the present invention is to provide a support structure for a John receiver.
