Abstract

A display device ( 10 ) includes a display ( 12 ) used to display an image, and a handle ( 14 ) attached to a recess ( 13 ) formed in a rear face ( 12 a ) of the display ( 12 ). The handle having a Z-shape in a side view connects between a first holder ( 17 ) and a second holder ( 18 ) via a connecting part ( 19 ). The second holder ( 18 ) is projected outside the display device so as to achieve an easy-to-hold ability when the first mounting face ( 17 a ) of the first holder ( 17 ) is fixed to the recess ( 13 ) of the display device ( 10 ). The first holder ( 17 ) is kept inside the thickness of the display device ( 10 ) when the second mounting face ( 18 a ) of the second holder ( 18 ) is fixed to the recess ( 13 ).

Claims (35)

1. A handle comprising:

a first holder;

a second holder; and a first connecting part,

wherein the first holder connects the second holder via opposite ends of the first connecting part,

wherein the first holder is equipped with a first mounting face to be fixed to at least one hole of a device while the second holder is equipped with a second mounting face to be fixed to the at least one hole of the device,

wherein a first angle formed between a center axis along a longitudinal direction of the first connecting part and the first mounting face is greater than a second angle formed between the center axis of the first connecting part and the second mounting face, and

the first and second mounting faces face to opposite sides of the center axis,

wherein either the first mounting face or the second mounting face is selectively attached to the device.

2. A display comprising:

the display used to display an image; and a handle attached to a rear face of the display, the handle including:

a first holder; a second holder; and a first connecting part,

wherein the first holder connects the second holder via opposite ends of the first connecting part,

wherein the first holder is equipped with a first mounting face to be fixed to at least one hole of the rear face while the second holder is equipped with a second mounting face to be fixed to the at least one hole,

wherein a first angle formed between a center axis along a longitudinal direction of the first connecting part and the first mounting face is greater than a second angle formed between the center axis of the first connecting part and the second mounting face, and

the first and second mounting faces face to opposite sides of the center axis,

wherein either the first mounting face or the second mounting face of the handle is selectively attached to the display.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the handle is projected outside the display in a thickness direction when the first mounting face of the first holder is attached to the rear face of the display, and

wherein the handle is kept inside a thickness of the display when the second mounting face of the second holder is attached to the rear face of the display.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein either the first mounting face or the second mounting face is attached to a recess or an edge having a small thickness formed in the rear face of the display.

5. The handle of claim 1 , wherein the first holder and the second holder are spaced apart from each other and disposed in parallel with each other.

6. The handle of claim 1 , further comprising a second connecting part to connect opposite ends of the first and second holders together via the first and second connecting parts.

7. The handle of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting part includes:

a rod-shaped axial part;

a first projection; and

a second projection,

wherein the first projection and the second projection are bent in opposite directions from an upper and a lower end of the axial part.

8. The handle of claim 1 , wherein the first holder is disposed parallel to the second holder, and

wherein the first connecting part is disposed between the first holder and the second holder such that the first holder and the second holder are spaced apart.

9. The handle of claim 1 , wherein a length of the first connecting part is less than a width of the first holder and the second holder.

10. The handle of claim 1 , wherein a third angle is an acute angle, the third angle being an addition of the first angle and the second angle.

11. The handle of claim 10 , wherein the third angle is in a range of 15° to 25°.

12. The handle of claim 10 , wherein a size of the third angle is based on a length between the first mounting face and the second mounting face.

13. The display device of claim 2 , wherein a pair of holes is formed in the first holder such that the first holder can fixed to a side wall of a pair of recesses that is formed in an upper portion of a rear face of the display device, and

wherein a pair of holes is formed in the second holder such that the second holder can be fixed to the side wall of the pair of recesses that is formed in the upper portion of the rear face of the display device.

14. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein either the first mounting face or the second mounting face is attached to a recess or an edge having a small thickness formed in the rear face of the display.
