## Abstract

An attachment device is an attachment device for attaching an electronic device body to a wall surface, and includes a base having a plurality of pin holes, a plurality of pins that are respectively inserted in the pin holes, and secure the base to the wall surface, and a locking part that is secured to the base, and on which the electronic device body is to be hung and locked. The base includes a securing surface that is a surface to be secured to the wall surface, and the pin holes are arranged outwardly from the base at a predetermined angle with respect to the securing surface.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An attachment device for attaching an electronic device body to a wall surface, the attachment device comprising:
a base having a plurality of pin holes;
a plurality of pins that are respectively inserted in the pin holes, and secure the base to the wall surface; and
a locking part that is secured to the base, and on which the electronic device body is to be hung and locked,
wherein
the base includes a securing surface that is a surface to be secured to the wall surface, and
the pin holes are respectively arranged outwardly from the base at a predetermined angle with respect to the securing surface.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The attachment device according to claim 1,
wherein the pin holes are respectively arranged in directions that extend radially from a center of the base.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The attachment device according to claim 1,
wherein the predetermined angle is equal to or greater than 20 degrees and less than or equal to 40 degrees.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The attachment device according to claim 1,
wherein the locking part includes a groove configured to receive a shaft that is included in the electronic device body and extends in a horizontal direction in a state in which the electronic device body is attached to the wall surface.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The attachment device according to claim 4,
wherein the groove includes a projection positioned above the shaft in a state in which the electronic device body including the shaft is attached to the wall surface.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The attachment device according to claim 4,
wherein an inside surface of the groove includes an arc-shaped portion in a sectional view.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

An electronic device comprising:
the attachment device defined in claim 1; and
the electronic device body.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The electronic device according to claim 7,
wherein the electronic device body includes a main-body-through-hole that is a through hole in which at least part of the locking part is inserted.

### Claim 9

A method of securing a plurality of attachment devices to a wall surface,
each of the attachment devices including:
a base having a plurality of pin holes;
a plurality of pins that are respectively inserted in the pin holes, and secure the base to the wall surface; and
a locking part that is secured to the base, and on which a panel-like electronic device body is to be hung and locked,
the method comprising the steps of:
attaching a sheet that has a symmetric shape with respect to a symmetry axis to the wall surface in a rotatable manner around a provisionally fixing part located on the symmetry axis;
securing the base to the wall surface at a position corresponding to each of a plurality of sheet-openings provided on the sheet on an orthogonal axis that is orthogonal to the symmetry axis; and
securing the locking part to the base.

### Claim 10

A sheet that is used for securing a plurality of attachment devices to a wall surface, and has a symmetric shape with respect to a symmetry axis,
the sheet comprising:
a provisionally fixing part located on the symmetry axis; and
a plurality of sheet-openings located on an orthogonal axis that is orthogonal to the symmetry axis.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The sheet according to claim 10,
wherein each of the sheet-openings has a shape that surrounds a base in a front view, the base being included in each of the attachment devices.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The sheet according to claim 10,
wherein the provisionally fixing part is located at one end of the sheet on the symmetry axis.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The sheet according to claim 10,
wherein the provisionally fixing part is an opening provided on the sheet.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The sheet according to claim 10,
wherein a shape of the sheet in a front view is almost identical to a shape of an electronic device body in a front view, the electronic device body being to be secured to the wall surface by using the sheet.
