Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal panel stand, comprising: a movable member that fixes a liquid crystal panel; a fixed member that supports the movable member; a rotating shaft that pierces the movable member and the fixed member so as to rotatably connect the movable member; and a holding member that holds a rotating position of the movable member that is rotated at a predetermined angle through the rotating shaft, the fixed member comprises: a pair of connecting plates that extend upward from a first base and a second base arranged in substantially parallel with a base set surface, which are sufficiently wide to sustain a weight of the liquid crystal panel, having oblong first through holes through which the rotating shafts pierce; and a pair of rotating shaft support plates that extend from the first base and the second base facing the pair of connecting plates substantially in parallel at predetermined intervals, and having second through holes at positions corresponding to the first through holes of the pair of connecting plates, the holding member with a thin circular shape applying an urging force in a thickness direction comprises an oblong third through hole through which the rotating shafts pierce at the center, and a first protrusion that protrudes in the thickness direction from a position adjacent to a circumferential edge portion and a second protrusion that protrudes from a position on a circumference of a circle having the third through hole as the center moved at 90° from the first protrusion, the movable member comprises: a panel fixing surface threaded to a back surface of the liquid crystal panel and substantially parallel therewith and side plates extending forward from both end portions of the panel fixing surface in the thickness direction to form a rib structure having the panel fixing surface as a bottom surface; fourth set of through holes each having a circular cross section through which the rotating shafts pierce formed in the side plates, first set of holding holes into which the protrusions are inserted, each formed vertically above the fourth through hole on the circumference of the circle having a radius equivalent to a length from the center of the third through hole to the center of the protrusion, having the fourth through hole as a substantial center, second set of holding holes into which the protrusions are inserted, each tilted at approximately 10° forward in the thickness direction from the first holding hole on the circumference of the circle, and third set of holding holes into which the protrusions are inserted, each tilted at approximately 10° backward in the thickness direction from the first holding hole on the circumference of the circle; the rotating shaft comprises a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft each having a substantially same configuration provided with: a first portion with a cross section of a shaft extending from a substantial center of a thin head portion having the substantially circular cross section has a flat configuration such that the cross section of a portion equivalent to a thickness of the holding member from a head portion is engaged with the second through hole; a second portion with a cross section of a portion equivalent to the thickness of the movable member from an end of the first portion has a substantially circular configuration; a third portion with a cross section of a portion equivalent to the thickness of the fixed member from an end of the second portion has a flat configuration so as to be engaged with the first through hole of the fixed member; and a fourth portion having an external thread from an end of the third portion to a tip end, the side plates of the movable member are interposed between the holding member and the connecting plates of the fixed member such that the protrusions are inserted into the holding holes formed in the side plates; pipe-like support members each having a thread hole hinged with the fourth portions of the first and the second rotating shafts between the pair of connecting plates and the pair of the rotating shaft support plates of the fixed member are disposed; each portion below the thin head portion of the first and the second rotating shafts presses a peripheral edge of the second through hole of the holding member such that the first and the second rotating shafts pierces from outside through the respective through holes to press contact a surface having the protrusions and the side plates of the movable member, the first and the second rotating shafts that have pierced, are fixed using the support members, and then the support members are threaded with fasteners from the pair of rotating shaft support plates to block a rotation of the support member.
