Abstract

A display mounting device includes a supporting pillar and a supporting pillar fixture. A display is mounted on the supporting pillar. The supporting pillar fixture is installed on a floor surface and coupled with the supporting pillar. In an extending direction of the supporting pillar, the display is detachably attached to a first end of the supporting pillar, and the supporting pillar fixture is coupled with a second end of the supporting pillar opposite to the first end in a rotatable manner. The supporting pillar fixture includes a rotation support that supports the supporting pillar in a rotatable manner. The rotation support allows for rotation of the supporting pillar within a range of angles between a first state where the extending direction of the supporting pillar is parallel to the floor surface and a second state where the extending direction of the supporting pillar is perpendicular to the floor surface.

First claim

1 . A display mounting device, comprising:
a supporting pillar on which a display is mounted; and a supporting pillar fixture installed on a floor surface and coupled with the supporting pillar, wherein in an extending direction of the supporting pillar, the display is detachably attached to a first end of the supporting pillar, and the supporting pillar fixture is coupled with a second end of the supporting pillar opposite to the first end in a rotatable manner, the supporting pillar fixture includes a rotation support that supports the supporting pillar in a rotatable manner, and the rotation support allows for rotation of the supporting pillar within a range of angles between a first state in which the extending direction of the supporting pillar is parallel to the floor surface and a second state in which the extending direction of the supporting pillar is perpendicular to the floor surface.

2 . The display mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein
the supporting pillar includes
a first supporting pillar,
a second supporting pillar connected to the first supporting pillar, and
an adjusting mechanism that adjusts a length of a connected portion between the first supporting pillar and the second supporting pillar to adjust a length of the entire supporting pillar in the extending direction.

3 . The display mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein
the supporting pillar includes an inner wiring compartment that accommodates a wiring connected to the display along the extending direction of the supporting pillar, and the supporting pillar fixture has an opening that communicates with the wiring compartment.

4 . The display mounting device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a rotation aid that aids rotation of the supporting pillar, wherein the rotation aid is provided inside the supporting pillar fixture, and includes an elastic member provided in a manner that a tension force that pulls the second end side of the supporting pillar toward the floor surface increases as the supporting pillar approaches the first state.

5 . The display mounting device according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a lock mechanism that locks the supporting pillar when the supporting pillar is in the second state, wherein the lock mechanism includes a shaft connected to the elastic member, and a slide mechanism that allows a position of the shaft to slide perpendicularly to the floor surface in response to expansion and contraction of the elastic member.
