Abstract

A supporting device of a display apparatus to prevent a wire from separating from a wire hanger. The supporting device to fix the display apparatus to a wall includes a wire part coupled to the display apparatus, a wire hanger mounted to the wall, the wire hanger to hang the wire part on the wall, and a separation protector provided at the wire hanger, the separation protector serving to prevent the wire part from separating from the wire hanger.

Claims (37)

1. A supporting device usable with an electronic display apparatus to fix the electronic display apparatus to a wall, the electronic display apparatus having a plurality of holes that are pre-formed in a rear surface thereof, the supporting device comprising:

a pair of fixing units to be coupled to the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus;

a wire extending between the pair of fixing units;

a wire hanger to be engaged with the wire; and

at least one spacing member to be coupled to at least one hole of the plurality of holes that are pre-formed in the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus, a rotating arm rotatably mounted to one of the at least one spacing member, the rotating arm moveable to tilt the electronic apparatus so as to space a lower portion of the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus from the wall by a distance, the at least one spacing member including a supporting portion to control rotation of the rotating arm, the supporting portion being separate from the rotating arm,

wherein the at least one spacing member includes a surface to face the wall, and a first buffer member, at least a portion of which is arranged to be between the wall and the surface of the spacing member, and

wherein the at least one spacing member is to be detachably screwed to the at least one of the plurality of holes that are pre-formed in the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus with at least one screw,

the at least one spacing member further including a recess to accommodate the screw, and

the portion of the first buffer member is arranged near the recess.

2. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire is configured to extend outwardly from an outer periphery of each of the fixing units.

3. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fixing units includes a surface to face the wall, and a second buffer member, at least a portion of which is arranged to be between the wall and the surface of the fixing unit.

4. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein each end of the wire is provided with a first separation protector to prevent the wire from being separated from the fixing unit.

5. The supporting device according to claim 4 , wherein each of the fixing units includes a first case to define the outer periphery, and a second case coupled with the first case to define an interior space adapted to receive the first separation protector.

6. The supporting device according to claim 4 , wherein each of the fixing units includes a first case to define the outer periphery and a second case coupled with the first case, and the first separation protector is coupled to at least one of the first case and the second case of the fixing unit.

7. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein the wire hanger includes a head portion, a wall supporting portion configured to come into contact with the wall, and a receiving portion provided between the head portion and the wall supporting portion, the receiving portion serving to catch the wire, and

the supporting device further comprising a second separation protector including a body arranged on the wall supporting portion of the wire hanger, the body of the second separation protector including at least one protrusion protruding from the body so as to protect the wire from becoming separated from the wire hanger.

8. A supporting device usable with an electronic display apparatus to fix the electronic display apparatus to a wall, the supporting device comprising:

a pair of fixing units to be coupled to the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus;

a wire extending between the pair of fixing units;

a wire hanger to be engaged with the wire;

a first spacing member including a supporting portion; and

a rotating arm rotatably mounted to the first spacing member, the rotating arm moveable to tilt the electronic apparatus so as to space a lower portion of the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus from the wall by a distance, the rotating arm being limited in an angle of rotation by the supporting portion, and the supporting portion being separate from the rotating arm,

wherein the first spacing member is to be coupled to the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus,

wherein the first spacing member includes a buffer member that is arranged to be between the surface of the first spacing member and the wall, and

wherein the buffer member is formed on a rim of the first spacing member.

9. A supporting device usable with an electronic display apparatus to fix the electronic display apparatus to a wall, the supporting device comprising:

a pair of fixing units to be coupled to the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus;

a wire extending between the pair of fixing units;

a wire hanger to be engaged with the wire;

a first spacing member including a supporting portion;

a rotating arm rotatably mounted to the first spacing member, the rotating arm moveable to tilt the electronic apparatus so as to space a lower portion of the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus from the wall by a distance, the rotating arm being limited in an angle of rotation by the supporting portion, and the supporting portion being separate from the rotating arm,

wherein the first spacing member is to be coupled to the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus, and

wherein the first spacing member includes a buffer member that is arranged to be between the surface of the first spacing member and the wall; and

a second spacing member to be coupled to a lower portion of the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus, the second spacing member configured to space the rear surface of the electronic display apparatus from the wall by the distance.

10. The supporting device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first buffer member is made of a material which absorbs shock, and

wherein the first buffer member dampens shock caused when the electronic display apparatus comes into contact with the wall.
