Abstract

There is provided a wall mounting device for mounting a display apparatus on a wall, the wall mounting device including: a display apparatus coupling unit coupled with a central portion of the display apparatus along a first direction and including a plurality of locking parts arranged in a second direction, the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction; and a wall coupling unit configured to be coupled with the wall and including a plurality of supporting sections arranged along the second direction configured to support the plurality of locking parts.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wall mounting device for mounting a display apparatus on a wall, the wall mounting device comprising:
a display apparatus coupling unit comprising an elongated body configured to be coupled at a central portion of a width of the display apparatus along a height direction of the display apparatus and a plurality of locking parts arranged in the height direction of the display apparatus, the elongated body having a wing part at a distal end of the elongated body extending left and right in the width direction of the display apparatus from the elongated body to balance the load of the display apparatus supported by the elongated body; and
a wall coupling unit configured to be coupled with the wall and comprising a plurality of supporting sections arranged along the height direction configured to support the plurality of locking parts.

2. The wall mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus coupling unit is configured to rotate in a clockwise direction and a counter-clockwise direction relative to the wall coupling unit.

3. The wall mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus coupling unit is coupled with a lower portion of the display apparatus along the height direction of the display apparatus.

4. The wall mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus coupling unit and the wall coupling unit are detachably coupled to each other.

5. The wall mounting device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of supporting sections comprises a rotating pin protruding in the height direction of the display apparatus, the display apparatus configured to rotate with respect to the rotating pin, and
wherein each of the plurality of locking parts comprises a pin accommodating section into which the rotating pin is rotatably accommodated.

6. The wall mounting device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of locking parts comprises a rotating pin protruding in the height direction of the display apparatus, the display apparatus configured to rotate with respect to the rotating pin, and
wherein each of the plurality of supporting sections comprises a pin accommodating section into which the rotating pin is rotatably accommodated.

7. The wall mounting device of claim 1 , further comprising a bearing member configured to support an axial load between the display apparatus coupling unit and the wall coupling unit.

8. The wall mounting device of claim 7 , wherein the bearing member comprises:
an upper bearing member coupled with a locking part of the plurality of locking parts; and
a lower bearing member coupled with a supporting section of the plurality of supporting sections.

9. The wall mounting device of claim 1 further comprising a wire guide section configured to guide a wire to be connected to the display apparatus.

10. A wall mounting device for mounting a display apparatus on a wall, the wall mounting device comprising:
a display apparatus coupling unit configured to be coupled with a rear surface of the display apparatus, the display apparatus coupling unit comprising:
an elongated body configured to be coupled at a central portion of a width of the display apparatus along a height direction of the display apparatus and a plurality of locking parts arranged in the height direction of the display apparatus, the elongated body having a wing part at a distal end of the elongated body extending left and right in the width direction of the display apparatus from the elongated body to balance the load of the display apparatus supported by the elongated body; and

a wall coupling unit configured to be coupled with the wall and configured to support the display apparatus coupling unit, wherein the wall coupling unit comprises:
a rear wall configured to abut the wall when the wall coupling unit is coupled with the wall; and
a wire guide section configured to guide a wire to be connected to the display apparatus, the wire guide section comprising a wire through hole in the rear wall.

11. The wall mounting device of claim 10 , wherein the display apparatus coupling unit comprises a wire guide section configured to guide the wire to be connected to the display apparatus, and the wire guide section of the display apparatus coupling unit comprises a wire through hole formed in the display apparatus coupling unit.

12. The wall mounting device of claim 10 , wherein the wall coupling unit further comprises:
a first sidewall extending from a first distal end of the rear wall in a direction away from the wall and perpendicular to the rear wall; and
a second sidewall extending from a second distal end of the rear wall in the direction away from the wall and perpendicular to the rear wall, and
wherein the wire guide section further comprises a wire through hole formed in at least one of the first sidewall of the wall coupling unit and the second sidewall of the wall coupling unit.

13. The wall mounting device of claim 10 , wherein the wire guide section further comprises a wire path formed between the display apparatus coupling unit and the wall coupling unit.

14. A wall mounting device for mounting a display apparatus on a wall, the wall mounting device comprising:
a first unit configured to be coupled at a central portion of a width of the display apparatus along a height direction of the display apparatus, the first unit comprising:
an elongated body having an elongated shape in a height direction of the display apparatus; and
a plurality of locking parts provided on the elongated body and arranged in the height direction of the display apparatus; and

a second unit configured to be coupled with the wall and comprising:
a base section having an elongated shape corresponding to the elongated body; and
a plurality of supporting sections provided on the base section and arranged in the height direction of the display apparatus to support the plurality of locking parts,

wherein the first unit further comprises a wing part at a distal end of the elongated body protruding left and right from the elongated body, the wing part configured to balance the load of the display apparatus supported by the elongated body.

15. The display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the elongated body and the plurality of locking parts are integrally formed.

16. The display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the elongated body and the plurality of locking parts are attached to each other using a fastening member.

17. The display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the base section and the plurality of supporting sections are integrally formed.

18. The display apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the base section and the plurality of supporting sections are attached to each other using a fastening member.
