Abstract

There is disclosed a stand comprising a support plate; a swivel plate provided in an upper end of the support plate and configured to horizontally rotate with respect to the support plate; a lubricating pad provided between the support plate and the swivel plate and coupled to the support plate; a screw configured to fasten the swivel plate, the lubricating pad and the support plate to each other; and a guide hole formed in the swivel plate and configured to provide a rotation passage of the screw in the horizontal rotation, so that the stand may realize the swivel structure of the output unit while minimizing the thickness of the support portion and that the height adjusting structure while minimizing the right and left thickness of the neck portion.

Claims (59)

1. A stand comprising:

a support plate;

a swivel plate provided in an upper end of the support plate and configured to horizontally rotate about a rotation center with respect to the support plate;

a lubricating pad provided between the support plate and the swivel plate and coupled to the support plate;

a screw configured to fasten the swivel plate, the lubricating pad and the support plate to each other; and

a guide hole formed in the swivel plate and configured to provide a rotation passage of the screw in the horizontal rotation,

wherein the guide hole is formed in a part of a circle shape in a range of a first angle with respect to the rotation center of the swivel plate and the swivel plate rotates only in the range of the first angle.

2. The stand of claim 1 , wherein the screw comprises:

a screw head configured to suppress separation of the swivel plate; and

an adjusting washer provided between the screw head and the guide hole and configured to be pressable with respect to a perpendicular direction.

3. The stand of claim 1 , further comprising:

a support neck part fixed to the swivel plate and forming a hollow; and

a height adjust portion having one side fixed to the output unit and configured to slidingly move with respect to the hollow of the support neck, and

wherein the height adjust portion comprises:

a frame defining front and lateral surfaces; and

a lubricating rail coupled to right and left outer surfaces of the frame, respectively, and contact with right and left inner surfaces of the support neck part.

4. The stand of claim 3 , wherein the lubricating rail is provided to partially cover predetermined left and right regions of a front surface and predetermined left and right regions of a rear surface of the frame, and

the back-and-forth width of the hollow formed in the support neck part is equal to that of the height adjust portion.

5. The stand of claim 3 , wherein the lubricating rail is hooked to the frame.

6. The stand of claim 3 , further comprising:

a lubricant applied to an outer surface of the lubricating rail.

7. The stand of claim 3 , wherein the lubricating rail comprises one or more stepped groove formed in an outer surface along a sliding direction.

8. The stand of claim 3 , further comprising:

a plate spring provided in an inner back surface of the support neck part; and

a spring guide provided in an inner front surface of the height adjust unit and configured to contact with the plate spring.

9. The stand of claim 3 , further comprising:

an upper end fixing part coupled to an upper end of the support neck part and configured to contact with the height adjust portion when the height adjust portion is sliding to the upper end upwardly.

10. The stand of claim 3 , further comprising:

a display coupling portion rotatably coupled to the height adjust portion and configured to be tilting in a perpendicular direction.

11. The stand of claim 3 , wherein the support neck part is tilted a second angle backwardly.

12. A display device comprising:

a support plate;

a swivel plate provided in an upper end of the support plate and configured to horizontally rotate with respect to the support plate;

a lubricating pad provided between the support plate and the swivel plate and coupled to the support plate;

a screw configured to fasten the swivel plate, the lubricating pad and the support plate to each other; and

a guide hole formed in the swivel plate and configured to provide a rotation passage of the screw in the horizontal rotation;

a support neck part fixed to the swivel plate and forming a hollow;

a height adjust portion configured to slide in the hollow of the support neck part;

a display coupling portion rotatably coupled to the height adjust portion and configured to be tilting in a perpendicular direction; and

an output unit detachably coupled to the display coupling part.

13. The display device of claim 12 , further comprising:

a coupling part projected from the display coupling portion.

14. A display device comprising:

a support neck part forming a hollow;

a height adjust portion configured to slide in the hollow of the support neck part;

a display coupling portion rotatably coupled to the height adjust portion and configured to be tilting in a perpendicular direction; and

an output unit detachably coupled to the display coupling portion,

wherein the height adjust portion comprises:

a frame defining front and lateral surfaces; and

a lubricating rail coupled to right and left outer surfaces of the frame, respectively, and in contact with right and left inner surfaces of the support neck part,

wherein the lubricating rail comprises one or more stepped groove formed in an outer surface along a sliding direction.

15. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the lubricating rail is provided to partially cover predetermined left and right regions of a front surface and predetermined left and right regions of a rear surface of the frame, and

a back-and-forth width of the hollow of the support neck part is equal to that of the height adjust portion.

16. The display device of claim 14 , wherein the lubricating rail is hooked to the frame.

17. The display device of claim 14 , further comprising:

a plate spring provided in an inner back surface of the support neck part; and

a spring guide provided in an inner front surface of the height adjust portion and configured to contact the plate spring.

18. The display device of claim 14 , further comprising:

an upper end fixing part coupled to an upper end of the support neck part and configured to contact the height adjust portion at an uppermost sliding position of the height adjust portion.
