Abstract

A swivel includes: a circular fixed base; and a movable stage capable of rotating relative to the fixed base.

Claims (26)

1. A swivel comprising:

a circular fixed base; and

a movable stage capable of rotating relative to the fixed base, wherein

the movable stage has a stand plate being in contact with a top surface of the fixed base, and the stand plate has a section that extends such that a height of the section interferes with a height of the fixed base at an inner side of a circle formed by the fixed base,

the stand plate has, as the section, a circular flat section that extends to the height interfering with the height of the fixed base by a downward slant slanted toward the inner side of the circle formed by the fixed base from a slide section which contacts with the top surface of the fixed base and slides on the fixed base to rotate, so as to protrude downward, and

the movable stage has a sole plate under the stand plate.

2. The swivel according to claim 1 , wherein the stand plate has a hole for screwing a bottom surface of a pole that supports a device.

3. The swivel according to claim 1 , wherein the movable stage has a stand cover that covers the stand plate.

4. The swivel according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed base has a rubber foot on a bottom surface of the fixed base.

5. The swivel according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed base has a hollow section formed on a top surface of the fixed base to hold grease.

6. The swivel according to claim 1 , wherein the stand plate has a boss projecting downward and provided at a position along an inner end surface formed along a circumferential direction of a circle formed by the fixed base, and

the fixed base has a stopper formed by a step made in the circumferential direction, and the stopper regulates rotation of the movable stage by abutting the boss.

7. A display device comprising:

a swivel comprising a circular fixed base and a movable stage capable of rotating relative to the fixed base;

a pole standing on the movable stage; and

a display section attached to the pole and having a display screen for displaying an image, wherein

the movable stage has a stand plate being in contact with a top surface of the fixed base, and the stand plate has a section that extends such that a height of the section interferes with a height of the fixed base at an inner side of a circle formed by the fixed base, and

the stand plate has, as the section, a circular flat section that extends to the height interfering with the height of the fixed base by a downward slant slanted toward the inner side of the circle formed by the fixed base from a slide section which contacts with the top surface of the fixed base and slides on the fixed base to rotate, so as to protrude downward.

8. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display device comprising:

a swivel comprising a circular fixed base and a movable stage capable of rotating relative to the fixed base,

a pole standing on the movable stage, and

a display section attached to the pole and having a display screen for displaying an image, wherein

the movable stage has a stand plate being in contact with a top surface of the fixed base, and the stand plate has a section that extends such that a height of the section interferes with a height of the fixed base at an inner side of a circle formed by the fixed base, and

the stand plate has, as the section, a circular flat section that extends to the height interfering with the height of the fixed base by a downward slant slanted toward the inner side of the circle formed by the fixed base from a slide section which contacts with the top surface of the fixed base and slides on the fixed base to rotate, so as to protrude downward; and

a main unit that generates an image to be displayed on the display screen.
