Abstract

A clearance adjustment member and a fixing apparatus including the same is disclosed. The clearance adjustment member including: a magnetic force including a through hole, the magnetic force unit configured to be attached to a bracket that is mounted on a wall; a screw beam disposed in the through hole of the magnetic force unit; and an adjustment unit connected to the screw beam, the adjustment unit configured to move along the screw beam to adjust a clearance between the wall and a display device that is to be connected to the adjustment unit. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to adjust the clearance between the wall and the display device simply and precisely.

Claims (26)

1 . A clearance adjustment member, comprising:

a magnetic force unit including a through hole, the magnetic force unit configured to be attached to a bracket that is mounted on a wall;

a screw beam disposed in the through hole of the magnetic force unit; and

an adjustment unit connected to the screw beam, the adjustment unit configured to move along the screw beam to adjust a clearance between the wall and a display device that is to be connected to the adjustment unit,

wherein the adjustment unit comprises:

a link plate including a first side and a second side, the first side of the link plate connected to the magnetic force unit;

an adjusting block having a polygonal shape and including a first side and a second side, the first side of the adjusting block connected to the second side of the link plate, the adjusting block including a thread groove that is configured to connect to the screw beam;

a link beam including a first end and a second end, the first end of the link beam configured to be connected to the display device and the second end of the link beam is connected to the second side of the adjusting block and is configured to be connected to the magnetic force unit through the adjusting block and the link plate,

wherein the adjustment unit moves to adjust the clearance between the wall and the display device responsive to rotation of the adjusting block which rotates the thread groove along the screw beam.

2 . The clearance adjustment member according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a support block including a hole, the link beam disposed through the hole to support rotation of the link beam and to connect the first end of the link beam to the display device.

3 . The clearance adjustment member according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment unit comprises:

a housing including a first end and a second end, first end of the housing including a beam hole through which the screw beam passes and the second end of the housing includes a hole that is larger than the beam hole;

a cover including a first end and a second end, the first end of the cover configured to connect to the display device and the second end of the cover inserted into the hole at the second end of the housing;

a guide cam disposed inside the housing, the guide cam including a screw groove that is connected to the screw beam; and

wherein the clearance between the wall and the display device is adjusted responsive to the guide cam rotating in a first direction or a second direction as the screw groove rotates along the screw beam.

4 . A clearance adjustment member comprising:

a first magnetic end configured to attach to bracket mounted on a wall;

a second end that is opposite the first magnetic end, the second end configured to attach to a display device; and

an adjustment unit between the first magnetic end and the second end, at least a portion of the adjustment unit configured to rotate to adjust a clearance between the display device and the wall,

wherein the first magnetic end includes a magnetic force unit and the clearance adjustment member further comprising a screw beam disposed in a through hole of the magnetic force unit, wherein the adjustment unit comprises:

a link plate including a first side and a second side, the first side of the link plate connected to the magnetic force unit;

an adjusting block including a first side and a second side, the first side of the adjusting block connected to the second side of the link plate, the adjusting block including a thread groove that is configured to connect to the screw beam and the adjusting block having a polygonal shape;

a link beam including a first end and a second end, the first end of the link beam configured to be connected to the display device and the second end of the link beam is connected to the second side of the adjusting block and is configured to be connected to the magnetic force unit through the adjusting block and the link plate; and

a support block including a hole, the link beam disposed through the hole to support rotation of the link beam and to connect the first end of the link beam to the display device,

wherein the adjustment unit moves to adjust the clearance between the wall and the display device responsive to rotation of the adjusting block which rotates the thread groove along the screw beam.
