Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a display device used for example in electronic scales and registers.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY In supermarkets and the like, weighed values and payment amounts are displayed on displays, which must be visible to both operators and customers.

The problem that the invention aims to solve However, although conventional displays can be turned horizontally, they cannot be turned vertically, so they have the disadvantage that they are difficult to see when reflected from lighting or sunlight. have.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and the object is to provide a display device whose display surface can be rotated both horizontally and vertically depending on the surrounding situation.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention provides a main body 1 containing a display section with a cord outlet 2 and mounting pieces 4 and 5 located on both sides thereof, and a pipe-shaped support 13 is rotatably held therein. A screw 25 is attached to each of the pair of clamping bodies 14 and 15,
26 to form connecting pieces 16, 17 which are rotatably fastened to the mounting pieces 4, 5, and clamping pieces 14, 15.
Grooves 20, 2 formed on the inner circumference of the column and the outer circumference of the support column 13.
2 is fitted with a ring 23 made of an elastic material.

Function: Therefore, the main body 1 is vertically rotatable relative to the clamping bodies 14 and 15, and can be fixed at any position by tightening the screws 25 and 26. Further, the main body 1 is horizontally rotatable with respect to the support 13 together with the clamping bodies 14 and 15, and can be fixed at any position by the frictional resistance of the ring 23.

Embodiment A first embodiment of this invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 5. 1 is the main body. This main body 1
has a cord outlet 2 on its lower side and attachment pieces 4, 5 formed with attachment holes 3 located on both sides thereof. The main body 1 is formed by combining a front case 1a and a back case 1b, and these cases 1a, 1
Cover pieces 2a and 2b for covering the cord are provided on b by screwing separate pieces. Cover piece 2
Attachment pieces 4 and 5 are integrally formed on a and 2b. The lower portions of the covering pieces 2a and 2b are opposed to each other with a gap between them, thereby forming a through hole 2c for a cord inlet. The cord outlet 2 and the mounting pieces 4, 5 may be formed integrally with the cases 1a, 1b.

Further, the case 1a is formed with a transparent display surface 6, a locking piece 7, and stepped pins 8 at the four corners.
A locking hole 10 and bosses 11 at four corners are formed in b. Has a hole 9 into which the stepped pin 8 is fitted.
Although not shown, the PC board 12 holds a display section and other circuit elements.

Furthermore, a pair of clamping bodies 14 and 15 are provided to rotatably clamp the pipe-shaped support 13, and the clamping bodies 14 and 15 are provided between both sides of the cord outlet 2 and the mounting pieces 4 and 5 of the main body 1. Connecting piece 16,1 to be inserted
7 are formed, and screw mounting holes 18 are formed in these connecting pieces 16 and 17. Furthermore, semicircular ribs 19 and grooves 20 are formed on the inner circumferences of the holding bodies 14 and 15, and grooves 20 are formed on the upper outer circumference of the support column 13.
1 and 22 are formed.

Thus, while fitting the ring 23 formed of rubber or the like into the grooves 22 and 20, the support 13 is attached to the clamping body 1.
4 and 15, and both ends of the connecting plate 27 are screwed onto the lower surfaces of the clamping bodies 14 and 15 with screws 28, thereby connecting the clamping bodies 14 and 15. Then, the connecting pieces 16, 17 are opposed to the mounting pieces 4, 5, and the screws 25, 26 are screwed into the mounting holes 18 of the connecting pieces 16, 17 from the outside of the mounting pieces 4, 5. The bodies 14 and 15 are fastened together.
The cases 1a and 1b are assembled into the main body 1 by engaging the locking pieces 7 and the locking holes 10 and connecting the mounting pieces 4 and 5 and the connecting pieces 16 and 17 with screws 25 and 26. The PC board 12 is held between stepped pins 8 passed through holes 9 at its four corners and bosses 11 into which these stepped pins 8 are inserted.

In addition, the cord connected to the display unit (not shown)
is pulled out from the through hole 2c of the cord outlet 2, inserted into the support column 13, and connected to an external circuit. The support column 13 is fixed to a register, a housing of an electronic scale, a table, etc. by a bracket 29.

In this configuration, the main body 1 is connected to the clamping bodies 14 and 15 that rotate with respect to the column 13 so as to be vertically movable, so that it can be freely rotated in the horizontal direction for easy viewing by operators and customers. can be fixed at any position by the frictional resistance of the ring 23. If illumination light or sunlight is reflected on the display surface 6 from the top, loosen the screws 25 and 26 to rotate the main body 1 vertically.
26 can be tightened to fix it in any position.
Further, the ring 23 and the rib 19 that engages with the groove 21 prevent the column 13 from moving in the axial direction. This axial locking may depend only on the ring 23 and the grooves 20, 22.

Furthermore, the PC board 12 can be assembled without using any screws. The two cases 1a and 1b also engage the locking piece 7 and the locking hole 10, and the clamping body 1
They are combined in the process of connecting 4 and 15. Therefore, fewer screws are required for assembly, and the assembly work is easy. The cord is also covered by the cover 2 of the cord outlet 2.
a, 2b can provide sufficient protection. Also, since the cord passes through the center of rotation, the main body 1 and the clamping bodies 14, 15
There is no change in the route even if you turn , so you are protected in this aspect as well.

Next, a second embodiment of this invention will be explained based on FIGS. 6 to 8. In this example, the pillar 13
The rest of the structure is the same as that of the previous embodiment except for the fixing means. Therefore, only the differences will be explained. The column 13 is short and has a groove 30 formed at its lower end. A holder 32 that holds the support column 13 and has a flange 32 that is screwed to a fixed surface 31 of a housing such as a register or scale or a table has a slit 34 that expands elastically outward. A pawl 35 is formed which resiliently engages the groove 30 of the support column 13. The clamping bodies 36 and 37 include a covering portion 38 that covers the support column 13 protruding from the fixed surface 31;
It has an expanded portion 39 that covers the flange 32 of the holder 33, and the other parts are the same as the holding body 14 in the above embodiment.
15 configuration requirements are met. Therefore, groove 3
0 and the claw 35, the support column 13 will not fall down due to its own weight.

Effects of the invention Since this invention is configured as described above, the main body can be rotated and fixed at any horizontal position with respect to the support with the clamping body, and the main body can be rotated in the vertical direction with respect to the clamping body. The display can be rotated and fixed in any position, so even if the display is used in different locations, the display surface can be oriented in a direction that is easy to see for customers and operators, and can also be adjusted in a direction that prevents reflection of sunlight and illumination light. In addition, the cord pulled out from the main body can be protected by the cord outlet and the support, and the cord can be hidden to improve the appearance.
