Patent ID: 7129996

Claim:
A liquid crystal television comprising: a main body having a substantially thin box shape; and a stand placed to a back surface of the main body, wherein the stand splits from the back surface of the main body, and supports the main body standing and tilting backward at a predetermined angle, the stand including: a substantially box shaped pivot member pivotally connected by a predetermined pivot axis between a retracted state in which the stand is substantially in parallel with the main body and a split state in which the stand is at the predetermined angle to the main body; a moving block held in the pivot member and movable in a direction of a radius about the predetermined pivot axis; a stopper for ratching the main body when the stand is at the predetermined angle to the main body to thereby prevent the stand from splitting over the predetermined angle; concave and convex engagement structures formed in parallel with a moving direction of the moving block to slidably engage each other, the structure being respectively formed to the moving block and the pivot member; and a supporting arm whose top ends are fixed to the moving block, which projects outward from the pivot member, and which has a grounding portion formed at its lower end by bending a rod into a handle shape to reach an outer ground plane, wherein a guide block in parallel with a moving direction of the moving block and in slidable contact with the moving block is formed in the pivot member; wherein a gap is formed to a substantial center of the guide block; wherein a bended portion of a substantially doglegged blade spring projects via the gap toward the moving block; wherein both ends of the blade spring come into contact with an inner circumferential wall in the pivot member to generate resilience so that the bended portion projects toward the moving block; wherein the resilience is enhanced by inserting a resilient member into a small space surrounded by the bended portion of the blade spring and the inner circumferential wall in the pivot member; wherein the bended portion comes into contact with a lower curvedly-chamfered corner of the moving block when the moving block is at an upper end position to which the moving block can move in the pivot member, and the bended portion comes into contact with an upper curvedly-chamfered corner of the moving block when the moving block is at a lower end position to which the moving block can move in the pivot member, so that the bended portion of the blade spring follows the chamfered portions and deforms to project toward the moving block to thereby release the resilience; wherein the main body has a larger grounding area in a tilted state in which the moving block is at the upper end position in the pivot member than in a tilted state in which the moving block is at the lower end position in the pivot member; and wherein a rubber foot is installed to a bottom surface of the main body.
