Monitor having improved swiveling

Abstract

A monitor including a display part to display a picture, a base part to support the display part, and a connection part having a first end connected to the main body, and a second end connected to the base part. The base part includes a lower plate to rest on an installation surface, an upper plate connected to the lower plate, leaving a predetermined space therebetween and formed with a through hole to receive the second end of the connection part, and a rotation plate larger than the through hole in area, provided in the predetermined space. The rotation plate is connected to the second end of the connection part, and rotates together with the display part and the connection part clockwise or counterclockwise.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A monitor to rest on an installation surface, comprising: 
 a display part to display a picture;    a base part to support the display part; and    a connection part having a first end connected to the display part, and a second end connected to the base part,    the base part comprising: 
 a lower plate to rest on the installation surface,  
 an upper plate connected to the lower plate to form a space therebetween, and forming a through hole in which the second end of the connection part is partially inserted, and  
 a rotation plate having an area larger than an area of the through hole, provided in the space between the upper and lower plates, connected to the second end of the connection part, and rotating together with the display part and the connection part.  
   
     
     
         2 . The monitor according to  claim 1 , further comprising a rotation restriction unit to restrict the rotation of the display part within a predetermined angle.  
     
     
         3 . The monitor according to  claim 2 , wherein the rotation restriction unit comprises: 
 a rotation restriction projection formed in an inside portion of the upper plate or a circumference of the rotation plate, to restrict the rotation of the display part; and    a guide part formed in the other one of the inside portion of the upper plate or the circumference of the rotation plate, having a guide projection to guide and stop the rotation restriction projection.    
     
     
         4 . The monitor according to  claim 3 , wherein the rotation restriction projection comprises a pair of projections provided on the circumference of the rotation plate and spaced from each other.  
     
     
         5 . The monitor according to  claim 1 , further comprising a combination pin connected to the rotation plate and the connection part, and passing through the lower plate.  
     
     
         6 . The monitor according to  claim 5 , wherein the lower plate is formed with a recess part thereon to prevent the combination pin from being contacted with the installation surface.  
     
     
         7 . A monitor to rest on an installation surface, comprising: 
 a display to display an image;    a base to rotatably support the display, comprising a rotation plate to rotate with the display, the rotation plate not contacting the installation surface; and    a connecter to connect the display and the base.    
     
     
         8 . The monitor according to  claim 7 , wherein the base further comprises: 
 a lower plate to rest on the installation surface; and    an upper plate contacting the lower plate and forming a space therebetween,    wherein the rotation plate is inserted into the space formed between the upper and lower plates.    
     
     
         9 . The monitor according to  claim 8 , wherein the upper plate forms a through hole therein, and the connector comprises: 
 a first end connected to the display; and    a second end connected to the rotation plate and inserted into the through hole.    
     
     
         10 . The monitor according to  claim 9 , wherein an area of the rotation plate is greater than an area of the through hole.  
     
     
         11 . The monitor according to  claim 8 , wherein the lower plate comprises a buffer member to elastically support the display on the installation surface.  
     
     
         12 . The monitor according to  claim 8 , further comprising a pin connected to the rotation plate and the connector, and passing through the lower plate without contacting the installation surface.  
     
     
         13 . The monitor according to  claim 12 , wherein the lower plate is formed with a recess to receive the pin and thereby prevent the pin from contacting the installation surface.  
     
     
         14 . A monitor to rest on an installation surface, comprising: 
 a display to display an image;    a base to rotatably support the display; and    a connecter to connect the display and the base,    the display being stably supported by the base.
