Abstract

An upper guide and a lower guide are provided on an escutcheon integrally attached to the chassis. An upper movable pin engageable with and disengageable from the upper guide, a lower movable pin engageable with and disengageable from the lower guide, and a fulcrum switching mechanism that reciprocates the upper movable pin and lower movable pin in the left-right direction are attached to a display body disposed in front of the escutcheon. The fulcrum switching mechanism makes the rotational fulcrum of the display body switchable between a first pivoting state, in which the upper movable pin is engaged with the upper guide and the lower movable pin is disengaged from the lower guide, and a second pivoting state, in which the lower movable pin is engaged with the lower guide and the upper movable pin is disengaged from the upper guide.

Claims12

Dependent claims

A movable display device having a chassis, a sliding member supported at an interior of the chassis so as to be slidable in a forward-backward direction, and a display body disposed in front of the chassis, the display body being tilted so as to change a tilted orientation in synchronization with a sliding operation of the sliding member, the movable display device comprising:

an upper bearing part formed on an upper side of the chassis;
a lower bearing part formed on a lower side of the chassis;
an upper pivoting part provided on an upper side of the display body so as to be engageable with and disengageable from the upper bearing part;
a lower pivoting part provided on a lower side of the display body so as to be engageable with and disengageable from the lower bearing part;
and
a fulcrum switching mechanism that makes a rotational fulcrum of the display body switchable between a first pivoting state and a second pivoting state;
wherein
a front end of the sliding member is rotatably linked to the display body at an intermediate point between the upper pivoting part and the lower pivoting part, and
the display body is structured so that the upper pivoting part is engaged with the upper bearing part and the lower pivoting part is disengaged from the lower bearing part in the first pivoting state and that the lower pivoting part is engaged with the lower bearing part and the upper pivoting part is disengaged from the upper bearing part in the second pivoting state.
