Abstract

A display apparatus includes a display; a fixing bracket configured to be fixed to a wall; and a wall mount coupled to the fixing bracket, the wall mount being configured support the display, to be set in a close contact mode in which the wall mount is adjacent to the wall, and to be set a tilting mode in which the wall mount is tilted with respect to the wall. The display includes: a first accommodating portion recessed in a rear surface of the display and configured to accommodate the wall mount and the fixing bracket; and a wall mount coupling part provided within the first accommodating part and configured to be coupled to the wall mount. The rear surface of the display is brought into close contact with the wall when the wall mount is set to the close contact mode.

Claims

1. A wall mount assembly comprising:

a fixing bracket fixed, in use, to a wall; and

a wall mount coupled to the fixing bracket and configured to be set in a close contact mode in which the wall mount is adjacent to the wall and to be set in a tilting mode in which the wall mount is tilted with respect to the wall,

wherein the wall mount comprises;

a first member comprising a shaft detachably coupled to the fixing bracket;

a tilting member comprising a first rotating portion rotatably coupled to the first member; and

a second member comprising a second rotating portion rotatably coupled to the first member and a guide slit guiding movement of one end portion of the tilting member;

wherein the wall mount is configured to be detachable from the fixing bracket by rotating the first member relative to the fixing bracket.

2. The wall mount assembly of claim 1, wherein the tilting member comprises a guide protrusion protruding to be guided by the guide slit by being inserted into the guide slit.

3. The wall mount assembly of claim 2, wherein the guide protrusion is slidable or rollable on the guide slit.

4. The wall mount assembly of claim 1, wherein the fixing bracket comprises a shaft coupling portion to which the shaft is coupled, and

the shaft coupling portion comprises a safety device configured to selectively secure the shaft such that the shaft is selectively detached from the shaft coupling portion.

5. The wall mount assembly of claim 4, wherein the shaft comprises

a fixing portion pressed by the safety device so that the wall mount is fixed to the fixing bracket when the wall mount is coupled with the fixing bracket;

and

a pressing portion configured to press the safety device so that fixing of the safety device to the shaft is released when the wall mount is detached from the fixing bracket.

6. The wall mount assembly of claim 4, wherein the wall mount is configured to be released from the safety device as the shaft rotates.

7. The wall mount assembly of claim 1, wherein the first member comprises a rotating protrusion rotatably coupled to the second rotating portion, and

the rotating protrusion is coupled to the second rotating portion to be rotatable with respect to the second member when a force greater than a predetermined magnitude is applied to the second rotating portion.
