Abstract

A first engagement part 4 removably engaged with an engagement part 1 c of a panel 1 is disposed at an upper end of a main body part 3 of a engagement member 2 . A second engagement part 5 is disposed at a lower end of the main body part 3 . An elastic element part 5 b is engaged with the engagement part 1 c by its own elasticity, thereby the second engagement part 5 is removably engaged with the engagement part 1 c . A control part 3 c extending downwardly is disposed at the lower end of the main body part 3 . For removing the engagement member 2 from the panel 1, the lower end of the main body part 3 is moved in a direction away from the panel 1 by hooking a finger on the control part 3 c.

Claims (19)

1. An engagement member for a display device comprising:

a main body part having a predetermined length in a vertical direction,

an engagement part disposed at a first vertical end of said main body part and removably engaged with a front surface part of a base material, and

connection means for removably elastically connecting a second vertical end of said main body part to the front surface of said base material, wherein

when the main body part is rotated about the engagement part such that the second vertical end approaches the front surface of the base material, the connection means removably elastically connects the second vertical end to the front surface of the base material, and

one of said main body part and said connection means is provided with a control part manually controlled for releasing connection of said connection means with said base material.

2. An engagement member for a display device according to claim 1 , wherein said connection means is disposed at the second vertical end of said main body part.

3. An engagement member for a display device according to claim 2 , wherein said connection means is an elastic element integrally disposed at said main body part, said elastic element is removably connected to said base material by elasticity of the base material, whereby the second vertical end of said main body part is elastically removably engaged with said base material, and said control part is integrally disposed at said main body part.

4. An engagement member for a display device according to claim 3 , wherein at least a tip part of said control part is disposed forward of a position where said elastic element is engaged with said base material in a direction toward said elastic element from said engagement part.

5. An engagement member for a display device according to claim 1 , wherein said connection means includes:

a displacement member disposed at said main body part such that said displacement member is displaceable between an engaging position where said main body part is engaged with said base material, and a releasing position away from said base material, and

biasing means for biasing said displacement member toward the engaging position from the releasing position, wherein

said displacement member is brought into engagement with the base material by biasing force of said biasing means, whereby the second vertical end of said main body part is elastically removably connected to said base material, and

said displacement member is provided with said control part.

6. An engagement member for a display device according to claim 1 , wherein said connection means includes:

a first connection member removably engaged with said base material,

a second connection member disposed at said first connection member such that said second connection member is turnable between a first turning position where said second connection member is engaged with said main body part, and a second turning position away from said main body part, and

a turn biasing means for biasing said second connection member toward the first turning position from the second turning position, wherein

said second connection member is brought into engagement with said main body part by biasing force of said turn biasing means, whereby the second vertical end of said main body part is elastically removably connected to said base material, and said second connection member is provided with said control part.
