Abstract

A mounting mechanism provided in a predetermined movable member for mounting an object on the member includes a fixing unit configured to fix the object to the member in drivingly associated with a change in position of the member, and the fixing unit is configured to have a hook with a hook-like end and to rotate the hook in drivingly associated with a change in position of the member so as to fix the object at a predetermined position using the hook-like shape of the hook end.

Claims

1. A mounting mechanism provided in a predetermined movable member for mounting an object on the member, comprising fixing means for fixing the object to the member in drivingly associated with a change in position of the member.

2. The mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the fixing means includes a hook with a hook-like end, and rotates the hook in drivingly associated with a change in position of the member so as to fix the object at a predetermined position using the hook-like shape of the hook end.

3. The mechanism according to claim 1, further comprising an immovable fixed member, wherein the member is connected to the fixed member with a pantograph mechanism therebetween so as to slide in back and forth directions relative to the fixed member within a movable range of the pantograph mechanism, and

wherein the fixing means changes the state of the object to be mountable when the member is forward slid, and it mounts the object arranged at a predetermined position on the member when the member is rearward slid.

4. The mechanism according to claim 3, wherein when the member is rearward slid, if the object is not arranged at a predetermined position, the fixing means is accommodated within the member.

5. A monitor mounting apparatus for stably mounting a monitor on a movable member, comprising;

a fixed member; and

the movable member movably connected to the fixed member,

wherein the movable member includes monitor fixing means for fixing the monitor to the movable member in drivingly associated with a change in position of the movable member relative to the fixed member.

6. A mounting mechanism provided in a predetermined movable member for mounting an object on the member, comprising a fixing unit configured to fix the object to the member in drivingly associated with a change in position of the member,

wherein the fixing unit is configured to have a hook with a hook-like end and to rotate the hook in drivingly associated with a change in position of the member so as to fix the object at a predetermined position using the hook-like shape of the hook end.
