Abstract:
1. An LCD television comprising: a body having a cabinet that is composed of a plastic front cabinet with an LCD panel display window formed at its front, and a plastic rear cabinet to be mounted on the rear of the front cabinet; a body-side bracket mounted on the body; and a stand that supports the body from underneath via the body-side bracket by extending upward a support bracket to fixed to the body-side bracket, wherein: the support bracket is integrally molded in a plate form by press-forming a metal plate, and also can be tilted at a lower edge thereof about a predetermined rotation axis; on a bottom of the cabinet, a bracket insertion slot is formed through which the support bracket is inserted upward between the front cabinet and the rear cabinet; the body-side bracket is integrally molded by press-forming a metal plate; the body-side bracket has at least: a plate-like main portion; first and second lower holding portions that retain vertically slidably both vertical edges of the support bracket by inserting upward; first and second upper holding portions that retain an upper edge of the support bracket by inserting it upward; and a stopper portion to constrain upward movements of the support bracket inserted in the first and second upper holding portions; and the body-side bracket is mounted to the front cabinet above the bracket insertion slot, and also is fixed by inserting the support bracket, which has been inserted in the bracket insertion slot from underneath, in the lower holding portion from underneath and sliding the support bracket upward so as to be inserted and fixed in the upper holding portion; the first and second lower holding portions exist at a predetermined distance under the first and second upper holding portions; at an upper edge of the support bracket, a stopper hitting portion that hits against the stopper portion when slid upward, first and second upper insertion portions that are each extend above the stopper hitting portion and that are inserted in the upper holding portion are formed; the first and second lower holding portions have lower holding bases extending toward the support bracket from a surface of the main portion where the support bracket is fixed, and adjacent direction extending portions that extend from each edge of the extended lower holding bases in directions adjacent to each other and retain vertically slidably so as to sandwich each vertical edge of the support bracket between the main portion and the adjacent direction extending portion; the body-side bracket has formed thereon: a bent extending portion having the upper holding portion that is bent and extended from an upper edge of the main portion toward a surface where the support bracket is fixed, and is a through hole for inserting upward an upper insertion portion of the support bracket; and the stopper portion that constrains upward movements of the support bracket inserted in the upper holding portion which is the through hole through which the stopper hitting portion of the support bracket is made to hit against a bottom; and a second bent extending portion that causes the first and second upper insertion portions, which have been inserted in the first and the second upper holding portions that are the through holes upwardly bent and extending from an end of the bent extending portion extending from the main portion, to contact with a surface opposite to a surface on which the support bracket is fixed, the front cabinet has a pair of both-bracket fixing bosses that are formed integrally side by side and projecting backward from an inner surface of the front cabinet; the body-side bracket has a pair of body-side lower screwing through holes formed in alignment with the pair of both-bracket fixing bosses of the front cabinet; the support bracket has a pair of stand-side lower screwing through holes formed in vertically-long oval shape, in alignment with the pair of both-bracket fixing bosses of the front cabinet; and the rear cabinet has a pair of both-bracket fixing holes that are integrally formed that serve as cross-directional through holes corresponding to the pair of both-bracket fixing bosses of the front cabinet, enabling the both-bracket fixing bosses, the body-side bracket, and the support bracket to be screwed, by inserting screws in the pair of body-side lower screwing through holes and the pair of stand-side lower screwing through holes, both of which are aligned with the pair of both-bracket fixing bosses.
