Display apparatus

Abstract

A display apparatus including a display having a stand groove, a stand, tiltably connected to the stand groove, having a first end formed with a ratchet, and a stopper connected into the stand groove and engaging with the ratchet to allow a tilt of the stand to be selectively adjusted. The present invention provides a display apparatus which is improved in assembling efficiency and productivity by a simple connecting structure of a stand, and is convenient to carry, keep and package the display apparatus by a compact outer appearance. Further, the present invention provides a display apparatus, which is economical by reducing a material cost, a physical distribution cost, etc.

1 . A display apparatus comprising: 
 a display having a stand groove;    a stand, tiltably connected to the stand groove, having a first end formed with a ratchet; and    a stopper, connected to the stand groove, to engage with the ratchet to allow a tilt of the stand to be selectively adjusted.    
     
     
         2 . The display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the stopper comprises: 
 a base supported by the stand groove;    an elastic part being extended from the base; and    a holder, formed in the elastic part, to selectively engage with the ratchet, depending on the tilt of the stand.    
     
     
         3 . The display apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the elastic part comprises: 
 a body which is elastically deformed together with the holder; and    a pusher, laterally protruding from the body, to temporarily release the ratchet from the holder when pushed.    
     
     
         4 . The display apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the stopper comprises a synthetic resin.  
     
     
         5 . The display apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the stopper comprises a synthetic resin.  
     
     
         6 . The display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the stand groove has a depth which is deep enough to completely accommodate the stand without having the stand protrude from the display.  
     
     
         7 . The display apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a rear side of the display, wherein the stand groove is formed in the rear side of the display.  
     
     
         8 . A display apparatus, including a display, comprising: 
 a display, having a stand groove;    a stand, having a first end, tiltably connected to the stand groove at the first end;    a ratchet, having a gear formed at the first end of the stand; and    a stopper in the stand groove to engage with the gear of the ratchet to allow a tilt angle of the stand to be adjusted.    
     
     
         9 . The display apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the stand groove is shaped to selectively accommodate the stand.  
     
     
         10 . The display apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the stand comprises: 
 a bar shaped supporter; and    a hinge at an end of the bar shaped supporter corresponding to the first end of the stand.    
     
     
         11 . The display apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the stand is plural in number and the stands are connected to each other via a connection member.  
     
     
         12 . The display apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the stand groove is shaped so as to selectively accommodate the stands.  
     
     
         13 . The display apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the stopper comprises: 
 a base connected to the stand groove;    an elastic part extended from the base; and    a holder formed in the elastic part to selectively engage with the gear of the ratchet.    
     
     
         14 . The display apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the elastic part is bent perpendicular to a plane of the base.  
     
     
         15 . The display apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the elastic part comprises: 
 a body, which is elastically deformed together with the holder; and    a pusher laterally protruding from the body to temporarily release the holder from the gear of the ratchet when pushed.    
     
     
         16 . The display apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein the gear of the ratchet and the holder are formed such that: 
 when the stand is tilted in a first direction, the stopper is elastically deformed while engaging with the gear of the ratchet, and    when the stand is tilted in a second direction, the stand may only tilt when the pusher is pushed such that the holder is disengaged from the gear of the ratchet.    
     
     
         17 . The display apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the stand groove comprises a space into which the stopper may selectively fit.  
     
     
         18 . The display apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the stopper is made of synthetic resin.  
     
     
         19 . The display apparatus according to  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 seating surfaces where the stand and the display contact each other; and    soles to prevent damage to the seating surfaces.    
     
     
         20 . The display apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the stand groove has a depth which is at least equal to a depth of the stand when the stand is tilted so as to extend parallel to a plane of the display.
