Tilt-foot mechanism for projector
View Patent ↗A tilt foot mechanism includes: two or more tilt feet that allow adjustment of the length of extension with respect to the bottom surface of the case of a projector; two or more locking levers that are each provided corresponding to each of the tilt feet; an elastic part that presses each of the locking levers against a corresponding tilt foot to thus lock the tilt foot; and a control button for causing the two or more locking levers to simultaneously separate from the tilt feet against the pressure of the elastic part.
1. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector, comprising:
two or more tilt feet that allow adjustment of a length of extension with respect to a bottom surface of said projector;
two or more locking levers that are provided corresponding to each of said tilt feet;
an elastic part for pressing each of said locking levers against a corresponding one of said tilt feet to lock said tilt feet; and
a releasing means for working against a pressure exerted by said elastic part and causing said two or more locking levers to simultaneously separate from said tilt feet.
2. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 1 , wherein:
said releasing means comprises:
two or more rotating levers that are each linked to a corresponding locking lever; and
a control button for causing said two or more rotating levers to simultaneously rotate;
wherein, when said control button is pressed, said two or more rotating levers simultaneously rotate, and said locking levers that are linked to these rotating levers separate from said tilt feet against the pressure exerted by said elastic part.
3. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 2 , wherein:
a depression is formed in each of said locking levers and said control button;
one end of each of said rotating levers is caught by said depression in a corresponding said locking lever; and
another end of each of said rotating levers is caught by said depression in said control button.
4. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 2 , wherein:
one end of each of said rotating levers is rotatably linked to a corresponding said locking lever, and another end of each of said rotating levers is rotatably linked to said control button.
5. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 2 , wherein:
one end of each of said rotating levers is linked to a corresponding said locking lever;
another end of each of said rotating levers is linked to said control button; and
said elastic part, by exerting pressure against said control button, exerts pressure by way of said rotating levers to force each of said locking levers against a corresponding one of said tilt feet.
6. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 1 , wherein:
said locking lever includes a locking surface that is pressed against an outer surface of said tilt foot.
7. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 6 , wherein:
irregularities are formed on the outer surface of each said tilt feet; and
irregularities that mesh with the irregularities formed on the outer surface of each said tilt feet are formed on the locking surface of each of said locking levers.
8. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 6 , wherein:
said locking surface of each of said locking levers is formed by an elastic material.
9. A tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 1 , wherein:
said elastic part is a spring.
10. A projector comprising the tilt foot mechanism of a projector according to claim 1 .
