Chassis and display device having the same

Abstract

A chassis set includes a first chassis and a second chassis. The first chassis includes a first connecting portion having at least one guide protrusion. The second chassis includes a second connecting portion having at least one guide hole that receives the guide protrusion of the first chassis to combine the first and second chassis. Therefore, a manufacturing cost is reduced and productivity is enhanced. Additionally, the chassis can be made easily.

       11 . The chassis set of  claim 10 , wherein the third chassis comprises a first body portion substantially perpendicular to the first chassis and the second chassis, a second body portion extended from a first end of the first body portion and having the fifth connecting portion, and a third body portion extended from a second end of the first body portion substantially parallel with the second body portion and having the sixth connecting portion; and 
 wherein the fourth chassis comprises a fourth body facing the first body portion of the third chassis, a fifth body portion extended from a first end of the fourth body portion substantially perpendicular to the fourth body and having the seventh connecting portion, and a sixth body portion extended from a second end of the fourth body portion substantially parallel with the fifth body and having the eighth connecting portion.    
   
   
       12 . The chassis set of  claim 11 , wherein each of the first guide hole, the second guide hole, the third hole, and the fourth guide hole has a first hole having an oval shape, and a major axis of the oval shape is substantially parallel with a longitudinal direction of the first chassis.  
   
   
       13 . The chassis set of  claim 12 , wherein each of the first guide hole, the second guide hole, the third guide hole, and the fourth guide hole further has a second hole having an oval shape, and a major axis of the oval shape is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first chassis.  
   
   
       14 . The chassis set of  claim 11 , wherein each of the first connecting portion, the second connecting portion, the third connecting portion, and the fourth connecting portion has at least one hole that a screw is inserted in.  
   
   
       15 . The chassis set of  claim 14 , wherein each of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth connecting portions has at least one hole that a screw is inserted in.
