Abstract

The attachment device has a fixing member fixed to an attachment surface, first and second operating parts are configured to be manipulated from one side in the first direction parallel to the attachment surface, a first member fixed movably in the first direction relative to the fixing member, the first member being configured to move the display device in the first direction relative to the fixing member based on the operation amount of the first operating part, and a second member fixed rotatably relative to the first member, the second member being rotated based on the operation amount of the second operating part and being configured to move the display device in the second direction relative to the fixing member.

Claims (52)

1. An attachment device for a suspended member to be placed between the suspended member and an attachment surface to attach said suspended member to said attachment surface, the attachment device comprising:

a fixing member fixed to said attachment surface;

at least one first operating part configured to be manipulated from one side in the first direction parallel to said attachment surface;

at least one second operating part configured to be manipulated from said one side in said first direction;

at least one first member configured to move in said first direction relative to said fixing member and configured to move said suspended member in said first direction relative to said fixing member based on an operation amount of said at least one first operating part;

at least one second member fixed rotatably relative to said at least one first member and configured to rotate based on a operation amount of said at least one second operating part to move said suspended member in a second direction relative to said fixing member, wherein the second member is fixed to the first member rotatably on a rotation axis perpendicular to the second direction;

a third operating part configured to be manipulated from said one side in said first direction; and

a third member fixed rotatably relative to said at least one first member and configured to be rotated based on an operation amount of said third operating part to move said suspended member in the third direction crossing a plane including said first direction and said second direction relative to said fixing member.

2. The attachment device for the suspended member according to claim 1 ,wherein

said at least one first operating part is two first operating parts,

said at least one first member is two first members,

said two first members are configured to be moved respectively based on said operation amounts of said two first operating parts, and

said two first members are arranged side by side when seen from said first direction.

3. The attachment device for the suspended member according to claim 1 , wherein

said second direction is the front and rear direction perpendicular to said attachment surface,

said at least one second operating part is two second operating parts,

said at least one second member is two second members,

said two second members are configured to be rotated respectively based on said operation amounts of said two second operating parts, and

said two second members are arranged side by side when seen from the direction perpendicular to said front and rear direction.

4. The attachment device for the suspended member according to claim 1 , wherein

said at least one second member has:

a rotation axis portion fixed rotatably on a first rotation axis perpendicular to said first direction and said second direction relative to said at least one first member;

an effort point portion displaced in said second direction from said first rotation axis and configured to be subjected to force along said first direction based on said operation amount of said at least one second operating part; and

a load point portion displaced in said first direction from said first rotation axis and configured to impose force onto said suspended member, and

a distance between said effort point portion and said first rotation axis is longer than a distance between said load point portion and said first rotation axis.

5. The attachment device for the suspended member according to claim 1 , wherein

said at least one first operating part is a male screw member passing through said at least one first member from said one side in said first direction and being screwed into said fixing member, and

said attachment device further comprises:

at least one first positioning part configured to position said at least one first operating part in said first direction relative to said at least one first member.

6. The attachment device for the suspended member according to claim 1 , wherein

said at least one second operating part is a male screw member passing through said at least one first member from said one side in said first direction,

said at least one second member has:

a rotation axis portion fixed rotatably on a first rotation axis perpendicular to said first direction and said second direction relative to said at least one first member;

an effort point portion displaced in said second direction from said first rotation axis; and

a load point portion displaced in said first direction from said first rotation axis and configured to impose force onto said suspended member, and

said attachment device further comprises:

a positioning part configured to position said at least one second operating part in said first direction relative to said at least one first member; and

a joint member to which said at least one second operating part screws, said joint member fixed rotatably on a second rotation axis parallel to said first rotation axis relative to said effort point portion.

7. The attachment device for the suspended member according to claim 1 , wherein

said at least one second member has a rotation member and a locking member, both the members being fixed to each other rotatably on a first rotation axis perpendicular to said first direction and said second direction,

said rotation member is fixed rotatably on a second rotation axis displaced in said first direction from said first rotation axis in parallel to said first rotation axis relative to said at least one first member, and configured to be rotated based on said operation amount of said at least one second operating part,

said rotation member and said locking member nip a protruding member fixed to said suspended member at least in said second direction at positions displaced in said second direction from said first rotation axis, and

said locking member is rotated relative to said rotation member to release said protruding member in said second direction.

8. The attachment device for the suspended member according to claim 7 , wherein

said first direction is the vertical direction,

said second direction is the front and rear direction perpendicular to said attachment surface,

said at least one first member supports said suspended member at upper portion of said suspended member so that suspended member is rotatable on an axis parallel to the left and right direction perpendicular to said vertical direction and said front and rear direction,

said protruding member is positioned in a lower portion of said suspended member,

said attachment device further comprises:

a cancellation member having an upper member and a lower member, both the members being fixed movably in said vertical direction relative to said at least one first member,

said lower member, in a state that the cancellation member is moved upward in said vertical direction, configured to lift said locking member upward, and to release said protruding member on the side of said suspended member in said front and rear direction, and

said upper member is rotatable toward the side of said suspended member relative to said lower member in said state, and has a locking part configured to lock said protruding member in a state that the lower portion of said suspended member is displaced in said front and rear direction relative to the upper portion.
