In the second embodiment, the entire inner surface of the outer edge portion 2 on the lower surface of the presser 3 of the first embodiment is a presser 5 having a height s. In this embodiment, the adhesive gel 4 can be placed anywhere as long as it is inside the outer edge portion 2 and the number of the adhesive gels 4 is not limited, and the maximum is a sheet-like adhesive having the width of the lower surface of the presser 5. Gel 4 can be placed. In this embodiment, since the weight supported by the stand 105 is particularly large, the number of the adhesive gels 4 is increased, or the movement or repositioning of the stand is frequently or frequently performed, so that the adhesive gel 4 can be easily positioned. Used when you want to.

  Next, a third embodiment of the stand will be described based on FIG. In the third embodiment, the edge 6 is suspended from the outer periphery of the lower surface of the presser 3 of the first embodiment, and the level of the lower end of the edge 6 is higher than the tip level of the outer edge 2. It is. The edge 6 may not be provided continuously to the outer periphery of the lower surface of the presser 3 but may be provided partially. In this embodiment, since the adhesive gel 4 is positioned in the horizontal direction by the edge 6, the stand is moved or repositioned occasionally or frequently so that the position of the adhesive gel 4 is easily shifted and moved. Used for.

  Next, based on FIG. 10, a fourth embodiment of a device stand other than the liquid crystal television will be described. The stand 11 is formed in a quadrangular box shape in contact with the floor surface, and the lower surface is opened. A space 13 is formed on the inner side of the outer edge portion 12 surrounding the outer periphery, and pressers 14 are vertically suspended in the vicinity of the four corners on the inner side. The level of the lower surface of the pressing element 14 is higher than the tip level of the outer edge portion 12. An adhesive gel 15 is adhered to the lower surface of the pressing element 14, and the level of the lower surface of the adhesive gel 15 is lower than the tip level of the outer edge portion 12 at the stage before being placed on the floor.

  That is, the protruding portion of the lower surface of the adhesive gel 15 has a size that is compressed and deformed when the stand 11 is stationary. In this embodiment as well, the load applied to the stand 11 is shared and supported by the tip of the outer edge portion 12 and the adhesive gel 15 or is supported only by the adhesive gel 15 as in the above-described embodiment. Therefore, the lower surface of the pressing element 14 is firmly supported on the floor surface by the adsorption force of the adhesive gel 15. Thereby, even if a horizontal external force, impact, vibration or the like is applied to the stand 11, they are absorbed by the adhesive gel 15, and the stand 11 is stabilized and prevented from falling.
