Television apparatus, electronic device, and slide support mechanism

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a television apparatus includes a panel unit, a support base, and a plurality of slide support mechanisms. The panel unit includes a front panel arranged in front of a display panel. The support base supports the display panel. The slide support mechanisms are attached to the support base to slidably support the panel unit. The slide support mechanisms includes an elastic bush and a combined member. A through portion is formed in the elastic bush. The elastic bush has a circumference portion attached to one of the support base and the panel unit. The combined member is combined with the other of the panel unit and the support base via a combining portion passing through the through portion, and holds the elastic bush with the other of the panel unit and the support base.

 a supporting member;   a display provided to the supporting member, the display comprising a display screen;   a panel unit comprising a panel configured to cover the display screen;   a combining mechanism configured to combine the supporting member with the panel unit such that the panel unit is supported in a displaceable manner with respect to the supporting member and the display; and   a preventing member located between the panel unit and the supporting member and between the combining mechanism and the supporting member, and configured to suppress displacement of the panel unit with respect to the supporting member and the display.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein
 a through portion is formed in the preventing member,   a circumference portion of the preventing member is fitted in either the supporting member or the panel unit, and   the combining mechanism comprises a combined member configured to be combined with either the panel unit or the supporting member via a combining portion passing through the through portion, and configured to hold the preventing member with either the panel unit or the supporting member.   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein
 the panel unit comprises a periphery member provided to at least part of a periphery of the panel,   the preventing member is located on a side of the display and behind the periphery member, and   the combining portion is configured to pass through the through portion in a front-back direction of the display.   
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , wherein
 the preventing member is configured to be supported by the supporting member,   the combined member comprises a head and a male screw portion,   the combining portion comprises a boss comprising a female screw portion, wherein the female screw portion protrudes backward from the periphery member and threadedly engages with the male screw portion, and   the preventing member is configured to be held between the head and the periphery member.   
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein, at at least one of a contact portion between the preventing member and the periphery member and a contact portion between the preventing member and the combining portion, a protrusion is provided to at least one of the members which interfere with each other. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , further comprising an excitation mechanism located behind the periphery member. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein the excitation mechanism comprises an eccentric weight and a motor configured to rotate the eccentric weight. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein:
 the panel comprises a rectangle shape in a front view, and   an excitation direction of the excitation mechanism is perpendicular to a short side of the rectangle shape of the panel.   
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein:
 the panel comprises a rectangle shape in a front view, and   a rotation axis of the eccentric weight extends along a short side of the rectangle shape of the panel.   
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 9 , wherein the eccentric weight is located closer to the center of the short side than is the motor. 
     
     
         11 . A slide support comprising:
 a base provided to a support base;   a supported member provided to a side of a supported body;   an elastic bush to which a through portion is formed, the elastic bush being configured to be supported by the base on a side of the through portion;   a combining portion configured to protrude from the supported member and to pass through the through portion; and   a combined member comprising a head and a male screw portion combined with a female screw portion provided to the combining portion, wherein   the base is located between the head and the supported member,   the elastic bush is configured to be held between the head and the supported member, and   the supported member is slidably supported.   
     
     
         12 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , wherein
 a circumference portion of the elastic bush is fitted in the base, and   the combining portion is configured to hold the elastic bush with the base.   
     
     
         13 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , wherein, at at least one of a contact portion between the elastic bush and the supported member and a contact portion between the elastic bush and the combining portion, a protrusion is provided to at least one of the members which interfere with each other. 
     
     
         14 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , further comprising an excitation mechanism provided to the side of the supported body. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic device of  claim 13 , wherein the excitation mechanism comprises an eccentric weight and a motor configured to rotate the eccentric weight. 
     
     
         16 . The electronic device of  claim 14 , wherein:
 the supported body comprises a rectangle shape in a front view, and   an excitation direction of the excitation mechanism is perpendicular to a short side of the rectangle shape of the supported body.
