Abstract
A digital display device including an electronic display screen. The device has a frame and a support extendable rearward from the digital display device. The support includes a corner portion and two elongate members extending from the corner portion in two substantially mutually perpendicular directions to respective mounting portions. The mounting portions are hinged respectively to two adjacent sides of a rear face of the frame along a common axis and at respective positions allowing the elongate members to fold flat to the rear face of the frame.
Claims12
A digital display device including:
- an electronic display screen having a front face and a rear face, the front face being configured to display images;
- a component housing holding processing components for driving the electronic display screen to display images, the housing being positioned at the rear face of the electronic display screen;
- a frame having a front face with four respective sides together surrounding the front face of the electronic display screen and having a rear face with four corresponding respective sides together defining an opening through which said component housing extends rearward from the electronic display screen;
- and
- a support extendable rearward from the digital display device;
- wherein:
- the support includes a corner portion and two elongate members extending from the corner portion in two mutually perpendicular directions to respective mounting portions, the mounting portions being hinged respectively to two adjacent sides of the rear face of the frame along a common axis and at respective positions allowing the elongate members to fold flat to the rear face of the frame alongside the component housing, and
- the rear face of the frame has a width extending from the component housing to an outer periphery and the elongate members have the same width as the width of the frame.
A method of supporting a digital display device having an electronic display screen with a front face and a rear face, the front face being configured to display images, a component housing holding processing components for driving the electronic display to display images, the housing being positioned at the rear face of the electronic display screen and a frame having a front face with four respective sides together surrounding the front face of the electronic display screen and having a rear face with four corresponding respective sides together defining an opening through which said component housing extends rearward from the electronic display screen and having a width extending from said component housing to an outer periphery, the method including:
- providing, as a support, two elongate members extending from a corner portion in two mutually perpendicular directions to respective mounting portions, said elongate members having the same width as the width of the frame;
- and
- hinging the mounting portions respectively to two adjacent sides of the rear face of the frame along a common axis and at respective positions so as to allow the elongate members to fold flat to the rear face of the frame alongside the component housing.
