Abstract

The present invention relates to a position controller in a TV receiver for adjusting its height and angle. The apparatus includes a frame 10 extended along a wall 1 up and down, a movable block 20 supported to the frame to move along the frame 10 whereto TV receiver 200 is attached, and an elevating means 600 for elevating the movable block 20 along the frame 10. The elevating means 600 includes a screw axis 11 supported to the frame 10 to be elevated along the frame 10 and coupling the movable block 20, guide rods 12, 13 supported to the frame 10 in a line with the screw axis 11, and a driving motor 400 for rotating the screw axis 11. The driving motor 400 has proximity sensors at the both ends of the frame 10 to stop the operation of the driving motor 400 if the movable block 20 closes the both ends of the frame 10. The driving motor 400 is also controlled with the remote controller 310. An angular controller 350 adjusts an angle of the TV receiver 200 against the movable block 20. Thus a viewer can easily adjust the height and angle of the TV receiver.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A position control apparatus in a TV receiver, comprising: 
 a frame that is extended along a wall upward and downward;    a movable block that is supported to the frame so that it can move along the frame upward and downward, wherein a TV receiver is attached to the movable block; and    an elevating means for elevating the movable block against the frame.    
     
     
         2 . The position control apparatus in the TV receiver as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elevating means comprises: 
 a screw axis that is supported to the frame so that it is elevated along the frame upward and downward, wherein the movable block is coupled to the screw axis;    guide rods supported to the frame in line with the screw axis, wherein the movable block is movably coupled to the guide rods; and    a driving motor for rotatably driving the screw axis, whereby the movable block is elevated by means of forward and backward rotary driving of the driving motor.    
     
     
         3 . The position control apparatus in the TV receiver as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elevating means comprises: 
 a screw axis having guide slot holes lengthily formed on the frame and supported to the frame rotatably upward and downward, wherein movable blocks are coupled to the screw axis;    a guide roller rotatably coupled to the movable blocks and slidingly coupled to the guide slot holes; and    a driving motor for rotatably driving the screw axis,    whereby the movable block is elevated by means of forward and backward rotary driving of the driving motor.    
     
     
         4 . The position control apparatus in the TV receiver as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elevating means comprises: 
 first and second rotating bodies having guide slot holes lengthily formed in the frame, wherein the first and second rotating bodies are rotatably disposed in the upper and lower ends of the frame, respectively:    track bodies that revolve on the first and second rotating bodies in an infinite track and are fixed to the movable block; and    a driving motor for rotatably driving the first and second rotating bodies to move the track bodies rotatably upward and downward,    whereby the movable block is elevated by forward and backward rotary driving of the driving motor.    
     
     
         5 . The position control apparatus in the TV receiver as claimed in any one of  claims 1  to  4 , further comprising an angular control means for controlling an angle of the TV receiver against the movable block.  
     
     
         6 . The position control apparatus in the TV receiver as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a rear lower side of the TV receiver and a lower side of the movable block corresponding to it are rotatably coupled and 
 wherein the angular control means comprises:    a rotary central body rotated by a rotary motor and having a vertical protrusion at its end;    a link member having one end rotatably coupled to the end of the vertical protrusion; and    a lever member having one end rotatably connected to the other end of the link member and the other end fixed on the TV receiver.    
     
     
         7 . The position control apparatus in the TV receiver as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising a remote controller for remotely controlling the driving motor and the rotary motor.  
     
     
         8 . The position control apparatus in the TV receiver as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the angular control means is a linear motor.  
     
     
         9 . The position control apparatus in the TV receiver as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the rotary central body and the link member consists of a disk shape crank axis.
