Patent ID: 7239506

Claim:
A display device comprising: a main display component having a forward-facing display screen; and a stand unit being attached to the main display component and having an extendable leg for supporting the main display component in a tilted orientation, a slider affixed to the upper end of the leg, a case in which the slider is housed so as to be capable of sliding up and down, and slider position restriction means interposed between the slider and the case, for restricting the slider to two positions consisting of an upper position and a lower position within the case, thereby allowing the leg to be extended from the case in two protrusion lengths; wherein the slider position restriction means including a cam component provided on the slider side and having an upper latching component for an upper end and a lower latching component for a lower end, an engagement component provided on the case side and allowing the upper latching component and the lower latching component to be selectively latched, and a spring for constantly elastically biasing the engagement component toward the cam component; the spring being a leaf spring having a peaked portion whose apex forms the engagement component, and a pair of seats that extend from the ends of the peaked portion, are supported by a support face provided to the case, and are displaced up and down at the support face by deformation of the peaked portion accompanying the lateral extension and retraction of the engagement component; and the cam component being equipped with a wavy serrated face that links the upper latching component and the lower latching component and increases the moving resistance when there is relative movement of the engagement component between the two latching components, the serrated face being imparted with a leg length adjustment function for restricting the protrusion length of the leg from the case to one or more stages by latching and positioning the engagement component, and there being provided elasticity adjustment means for adjusting the pressing force on the peaked portion of the spring and thereby increasing or decreasing the elasticity of the spring.
