Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a leg device for equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Plasma vision display (PD
P) or its thin unit such as its power supply unit has a smaller depth dimension compared to the left-right width dimension. Therefore, in order to stand on the same equipment, a leg whose front-back width dimension is larger than the depth dimension of the main body is required. Becomes Therefore, as shown in FIG.
A screw hole is provided on the bottom surface of the device body 1, and a screw insertion hole is formed on the leg body 3.
3a is provided and the leg 3 is screwed to the device body 1 with the screw 2. For this reason, when packing the same device, the front-rear dimension of the packaging box is determined by the front-rear dimension of the leg body 3, so that the size of the same packaging box becomes large. A step of removing the screw 2 fixing the leg body 3 is required, which becomes a bottleneck in the installation change work.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and rotatably supports a leg attached to the bottom of a device, and an accommodating portion for accommodating the leg is provided in the main body. It is something to try.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by accommodating a recess formed in the bottom of the device, an insertion hole formed in the upper surface of the recess, and orthogonal to the insertion hole. As described above, a locking hole provided on the upper surface and the bottom surface of the storage recess, and a support shaft having a stopper inserted at the upper end through the insertion hole at the center are provided upright to correspond to the locking holes on both sides of the upper surface. A pair of left and right legs that are rotatably supported in the insertion hole, and springs that are locked to the stopper and the upper surface of the storage recess and urge the legs upward. When the locking pin is engaged with the locking hole of the bottom surface, the leg is orthogonal to the device, and when the locking pin is engaged with the locking hole of the storage recess, The leg body is housed in the housing recess.

[0005]

With the above-described structure, in the leg device according to the present invention, the leg is rotatably supported, and the leg can be stored in the storage portion provided on the bottom surface of the main body. .

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing attachment of a leg device of a device according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a plasma display device and thin equipment such as a power supply unit thereof. On the left and right sides of the main body 2 of the same device, legs 3 having a front-rear dimension longer than the width dimension of the main body are rotatably attached.

As shown in the side view of FIG. 2A and the front view of FIG. 2B, storage recesses 4 are formed on both sides of the bottom surface of the device body 2 so as to extend in the lateral direction. An insertion hole 4a is formed at a substantially central position of the storage recess 4.
The insertion hole 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the device body and the top surface of the storage recess.
A pair of locking holes 2a is formed on the bottom surface and a pair of locking holes 4b is formed on the upper surface of the storage recess so as to be orthogonal to each other with a at the center. The leg body 3 is a rectangular leg body having an upper surface and a lower surface which form slopes and an open lower surface, and a pair of locking pins 3a corresponding to the locking hole 2a and the locking hole 4b in the front-back direction. Is provided. Further, the center of the leg 3 is hung downward to form a cylindrical portion 3b, and the cylindrical portion 3b is formed.
A fixture 5 having a spindle 6 standing upright is attached to the lower end of the. The support shaft 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 4a provided in the storage recess 4 and has a disk-shaped stopper 6a at the upper end.
A spring 7 for urging the leg 3 upward is sandwiched between the stopper 6a and the upper surface of the storage recess 4.

Next, the operation of the leg device having the above structure will be described. 2A and 2B are views showing a state in which the leg body 3 is used, and the leg body 3 is arranged so as to be orthogonal to the main body 2 and is provided on the upper surface. The locking pin 3a is locked in the locking hole 2a of the main body to be fixed in the front-rear direction, whereby the device can stand on the floor. When the leg body 3 is to be stored in the storage recess, the leg body 3 is pulled down, the locking pin 3a is removed from the locking hole 2a, and the leg 3 is rotated 90 degrees. Body 3 is Figure 3
As shown in (A) and (B), the storage recess 4 is stored in the storage recess 4, and the storage pin 4 is locked in the storage locking hole 4b provided in the storage recess.
Fixed inside.

By accommodating the leg 3 in the accommodating portion 4 of the main body 2, it is possible to easily change the device to a wall-mounted installation or the like.

[0010]

As described above, in the leg device of the device according to the present invention, the leg can be stored and held in the storage portion provided in the main body, and the leg can be pulled out from the storage portion as needed. When changing the installation state from wall-mounted installation to floor-mounted installation, etc.
It is possible to improve the usability, reduce the storage volume of the equipment packaging material, and thereby reduce the cost of the packaging material.
