Abstract
An attachment member is coupled to a panel member at the peripheral outward surface of the panel member. A predetermined coupling mechanism serves to establish the connection. The attachment member receives an attached component behind the panel member. No urging forces are thus applied to the panel member in the direction perpendicular to the back surface of the panel member when the attachment member is coupled to the panel member. The panel member can reliably be prevented from suffering from damages or breakage.
Claims25
A panel member unit comprising:
- a panel member having a front surface, a back surface and a peripheral outward surface defined between the front surface and the back surface;
- a frame member fixedly placed on the peripheral outward surface of the panel member;
- a bracket superposed on the peripheral outward surface of the panel member, the bracket being coupled to the frame member with a predetermined coupling mechanism;
- a carrying member receiving an attached component, the carrying member configured to move on the bracket along a guide passage extending along the back surface of the panel member;
- and
- a restraint mechanism configured to restrain movement of the carrying member in the guide passage.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- an enclosure;
- a display panel contained within the enclosure, the display panel having a front surface, a back surface and a peripheral outward surface defined between the front surface and the back surface;
- a frame member fixedly placed on the peripheral outward surface of the display panel;
- a bracket superposed on the peripheral outward surface of the display panel, the bracket being coupled to the frame member with a predetermined coupling mechanism;
- a carrying member receiving an attached component, the carrying member configured to move on the bracket along a guide passage extending along the back surface of the display panel;
- and
- a restraint mechanism configured to restrain movement of the carrying member in the guide passage.
An attachment member coupled to a frame member, the frame member being fixedly placed on a peripheral outward surface of a panel member, the attachment member comprising:
